Pantyhose from supermarkets and DIY bodystockings

shiny diy bodystockingsWhat do you think about cheap (< €3) pantyhose from supermarkets and chains like Albert Heijn, Lidl, Kruidvat, Hema, Auchan, Aldi, etc? Having played with Wolford, Oroblu, Omero, La Perla, Maxmara, Falke and so on, my opinion was quite strong –Albert Heijn Panty crap. But since I was advised by Searcher to use Albert Heijn pantyhose for the DIY bodystockings I decided to sacrifice €2.39 and bought AH Matglanzend 15 den suntan (colour “Sherry”) pantyhose. I chose one size bigger, since they were supposed to be pulled up as high as possible.

Business trip. Day 3

In the morning I put on shiny Jovanda Breeze 12 pantyhose with capri ans went for a short walk to a waterfall nearby. After climbing up and down the huge stones surrounding the creak, making pictures of streaming, hissing and sparkling ice-cold water, making my way through the forest the thin filmy pantyhose were still alive and not torn into pieces.

I looked at my legs (reflecting Sun beams like mirrors), decided that I did not care and headed to the office.

Business trip. Day 2

Falke shelina 12Before going to the office I had a couple of free hours and I went to the nearest lake to take a walk. The weather forecast promised +32, I often wear pantyhose with breeches or shorts when I go to the forest, so I put on Falke Shelina 12 (invisible 100% nylon sheer to waist pantyhose with occasional tiny sparks, bought in Galeria Kaufhof).

SpitzingseeI was wandering around the lake while taking photos of everything without any particular plan or idea, when at exactly this place I made a short step behind and …. tripped over a big stone with sharp edges …

Fortunately, nothing serious happened. I was still alive with just a couple of light bruises, the photocamera did not touch anything except my chest, but the pantyhose did not survive.

This is what the damage looked like:

Though even the holes were almost invisible, I could not go to the office wearing torn pantyhose. But I had a solution! I washed my nylon clad leg in the nearest spring and with a great pleasure continued my walk.

spare pantyhoseThe solution was in the car. I expected that something like that can always happen and took some spare pantyhose with me. I ruled out all shiny nylons (mmm… It’s an office after all …) and picked up Oroblu Club 7 – also invisible matte pantyhose.

Have you ever tried to change pantyhose in a car? That was difficult 😉

Falke Shelina 12Just an FYI. Falke Shelina 12 can also be found in another envelope:

Business trip. Day 1. Part 2.

me in shiny pantyhose img__01897As I said in Part I I was wearing shiny pantyhose. Unfortunately I did not have a tripod close at hand so I could make only this photo. But I bet you got the idea. The light is not direct but bounced off the ceiling, that’s why the shine does not look strong enough. The funny thing is I don’t know the brand – I just picked up the first shiny 15 den look sheer to waist pantyhose out of the drawer and put them on. Probably Jovanda Breeze 12.

I love that razor thin bright stripe of reflected sun or electric light on otherwise practically invisible pantyhose. I wonder if anybody noticed 😉

John Everett Millais and Tights in art

Millais FairiesLet’s continue the Tights in the art theme which was started by Geraden in Tights in Arts and cited by me here.

A couple of weeks ago I visited John Everett Millais (1829-1896) exhibition in Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. His paintings are known for the realistically with lots of details vividly depicted nature. But what I did not find in various articles and guides written about Millais and what I found in his paintings is eroticism. His works are very real and very erotic regardless the subject.

And last but not least – tights. Men in tights, kids in tights, girls in tights, boys in tights and stockings. Look at some example here:

Men in pantyhose photo session

A woman and a man in pantyhoseHarisnya (the founder of e-mancipate) did a professional photo session in which he explored the limits of masculinity:

where pantyhose colors or patterns would be too feminine for men”

The result?  You can find the results here in Geraden’s blog.

But as you may have guessed, no such limits have been found. A man remains a man whatever he’s wearing.

Man in skirts and pantyhoseSee Part I.

I do like Karli’s photos. But other than being a good photographer he’s the founder (Karli, please correct me) of the Men’s skirt group. And now thanks to the article (on the left) the group has been presented to a wider auditory. Congratulations!

I can’t say I “like” skirts, personally I do not find them comfortable, but the pantyhose bit usually associated with skirts always attracts my attention. And the fact that they (the group, that is) wear skirts with pantyhose not only at the specially organized events but as a normal clothes everywhere including their daily job:

If I appear in the office wearing trousers my colleagues ask me anxiously if I caught a cold.

Man in pantyhose and Office Style

Man in pantyhose and shorts in the officeIt does look like an office. And the guy is definitely wearing shorts with black pantyhose.  I do wear capri with 8-12 den rather invisible nylons to the office, but black!? pantyhose with shorts?!

Any volunteers? I chicken out for now…
