Tights in Art

Some time ago Geraden and Co introduced “Tights in Art” historical paintings gallery, mostly featuring men wearing pantyhose (tights) or stockings. The idea was to demonstrate that tights were worn by men long before women got their legs into them. The collection has grown to almost 40 pictures.

High heels, nylons, madness …

Just a couple of hours after I had written about high heels in Moscow I found this article in Natural Blonde’s blog. The interesting thing is how different the standards are. While 2″ heels are considered high and 3″ are called madness at one place, 4″ stilettos/spikes are normal for everyday life at another.

Moscow, high heels, greyish pantyhose

mini-skirt and stockingsEver been to Moscow? A completely different world of dressed-to-kill girls. Posh, expensive, thoroughly chosen clothes, make-up and accessories, “f* off” expression on their faces, high, very high, stiletto heels regardless the situation and place…

I checked Oroblu, Filodoro, Glamour, Levante, Philippe Matignon with exactly the same result.

Transparent latex stockings

transparent latex stockings with back seamsAdded to my wish list. Not sure which stockings to buy… I can try to wear skin coloured transparent with capri or breeches in public. Not sure if I have guts enough to wear back-seamed ones, though they look sexier.

Non-transparent or coloured version are also considered since all skin imperfectness and air-bubbles would be well hidden.

Black or dark-blue stockings can be worn under jeans in public (no socks, of course), but I don’t like to wear latex under clothes (hm… who does?)
