Playing in the shower. Part I. Sakana.

girl in wet pantyhoseDo you remember your feelings when you stepped into water fully closed? Of course, the situations can vary from stepping into lukewarm and bubbling jacuzzi while wearing sheer pantyhose on your legs and arms and a leotard or swimsuit to accidentally falling into freezingly cold dirty autumn river in your woollen sweater, jeans etc.

Accidents aside, let’s start with warm shower. Continue reading “Playing in the shower. Part I. Sakana.”

Versailles vs IKEA

Why them? Last week I’ve been to both Versailles and IKEA (yes, I have good excuses for both cases 😉 They both are big, crowdy, located on the outskirt of the cities, have pictures, beds and mirrors inside. Even the temperature (outside) was the same.

And the differences?

Clothes.

You might expect that people would dress up if they are going to visit a palais, and wear old “garden” worn out rags in a warehouse? Ha! Quite the opposite. Minidresses, miniskirts, shorts, high heels with pantyhose in IKEA. Just imagine long-legged girls (NL is the tallest nation in the world) in miniskirts and pantyhose scattered laying on beds and sofas, kids in shorts and opaque thin tights tumbling in soft toys, women on high heels, in skirts and transparent pantyhose checking the wardrobe heights …

And warm jackets, jeans, heavy boots, backpacks in Versailles. Typical tourists you would say. But there are exceptions. I’ve seen a Russian woman wearing high heeled boots with thin pantyhose and skirt on Zugspitze (at almost 3km).

Wolford Lace-Up on sale (70% discount)

Wolford Lace-UpJust found the “Lace-Up’s” on Amazon – for $29.40! This is around 20 euro (Normal Internet price in Europe is 50-60 euros). Does anybody have any experience with them? I ‘ve seen them in person only packed, but the description looks very interesting (taken from WolfordBoutique):

Lace-Up 10 Bodyshaper Tights(ControlTights)
The opaque, shaping panty imitates a corsage and extends as far as just under the bust. The reinforced material perfectly shapes the hips, stomach and waist. Silicone-coated bands under the bust ensure a perfect fit and sure support. 10 denier appearance on the leg.

Do they never slip down on their own (because of the silicone band)?
How tight can they be laced? The support panty looks like at least 70den.

Pantyhose with shorts. Part II.

See Part I.

I hope it’s a tendency. All fingers crossed. But I notice more and more nylon clad legs on the streets in Europe. Jeans, trousers and skirts are getting shorter. If, say, in 2000-2003 most women was wearing short jeans (longer than capri), 2003-2005 – long (below the knee) breeches and capri’s, 2006-2007 – miniskirts, short breeches and shorts. Even when the temperature goes down, only the pantyhose density goes up.

These photos were made in Paris near Musée d’Orsay:

Yesterday I saw a tall woman wearing (everything was “off-” or “near black”) short coat, mini shorts, opaque pantyhose and high (under knee) boots.

Needless to say that I like it 😉
