Hosiery Related Interviews On Wednesdays

Lately, I have been trying to post 5 kinds of content on a regular basis, and post each on a specific day of the week. Many of you probably noticed this. Thanks for your support.

In the last week, or so, I have been interviewing Alisa, of The Stylish Fox, via email. I have had a wonderful time reading her responses. I am very surprised at the differences between her background, and ours, the Canadian and US backgrounds. She seems to be very kind and in touch with the cultures of both worlds. I am very confident, that you will enjoy reading her interview responses.

Be sure to go to that first link to read up about her, before reading the first interview questions, so that you can be a bit more prepared.

Most hosiery blogs only contain the same boring content. This is truly fresh material. It is semi-exclusive, too, because I do not think that anybody bothered to ask her any of these questions.

I asked her so many questions, that I intend to spread them out through out the weeks ahead. Every Wednesday, starting this Wednesday, I intend to post a portion of those answers. For the first Wednesday, I intend to share with you her hosiery preferences, and fashion inspiration.

Because of how successful things are, already, I already intend to start interviewing more people. Be sure to check out the other interview questions, by clicking interviews, which can also be found in the right column, under Popular Topics.

Used Hosiery: Decorate Store Or Home

I am almost embarrassed to mention this idea, but check out the photos and the blurb: A Pop-Up Store Made of Pantyhose (Yes, Pantyhose). This should be a lesson to us that everything can be useful and beautiful, if we find the correct way of doing it. For more ideas, click used, which can also be found in the right column, under Popular Topics.

Dear H.A.: What To Do About Long Hosiery Legs?

[This is just my attempt at being funny.]

Dear Hosiery Advocate, last night, me and the gals had a girls night out. We discussed hosiery, and it seems that they have hosiery that is too short, while all the hosiery that I wear is too long. I thought that everybody had hosiery that is too long. Do most people have hosiery that is too short or too long? Is there anything that I can do?

Web Site For Men To Post Pictures Of Themselves Wearing Pantyhose

For those of you looking for a place to show off your photos of you wearing hosiery and shorts, I highly recommend Lookbook.nu. It is a social site that is dedicated to fashion, with only family friendly photos. These 2 aspects lend a lot of credibility to your attempts at looking mainstream.

If you have an account there, and if you would like some new visitors, then post your links in the comments below.

Layering Hosiery: 1 Pair Thick Vs 3 Pairs Thin

Used Hosiery: Cat Toy

A simple gift for your cat is an old pair of your hosiery for shredding to bits. You spend so much time preventing your cat from playing with your hosiery, so you might as well let loose a little, and by letting the cat shred a pair. For more ideas, click used, which can also be found in the right column, under Popular Topics.

If you plan on making a stuff pillow for your pet, then you can let your pet shred the pair first, and then stuff it in a pillow. You wear them first; your cat shreds them next; you make a pet stuff pillow: that is 3 uses out of the same pair.

Dear Hosiery Advocate, I keep giving her hints, and she still won't do it. She doesn't seem to want to talk about it, either. She buys and wears her own, though.

Kate Moss Never/Rarely Wears Black Opaque Tights

I think that Kate Moss is quite beautiful, so I was eager to read any news about her, regarding tights and pantyhose. I thought that she usually wore some kind of hosiery, so I was surprised to read that she normally goes out with bare legs. If that is true, then you should take a look at the photo of Kate Moss wearing opaque black hosiery, while you have the chance, because she might never do it again.

It looks like the hosiery trend is really picking up steam.

Black Hosiery And Black Clothing At Funerals

This might become popular again. "Young And The Restless" was on the TV, when I passed by. A group of the characters had attended a funeral, and they were wearing all black and white. It was great to see some formality return to funerals, even if it was just fiction.

Remember that although it is fiction, there are real wardrobe people basing their choices on real life trends.

Tweets About Enjoying Compression Hosiery

I am happy to see men and women tweeting about their enjoyment of compression hosiery.

Emporio Armani Wants Men To Wear Hosiery

If I told you that Emporio Armani is trying to get Filipino men to wear pantyhose, in Manila, then would you believe me? Then maybe you would believe that article. We are making progress. Every little bit helps. I must admit though, that I probably had nothing to do with it.

Used Hosiery: Stuff A Pillow For Your Pet

Dear Hosiery Advocate, I am a guy, who likes to wear shorts & hosiery when I go out. It's cold these days. People stare. They try to hide their children when I walk near. Even the police give me problems. What do I do?

Last Week's Friday Fun Poll Results: Survey Format Feedback

4 of us responded. Read the remainder of the blog entry for the results.

Friday Fun Poll: New Survey Size Feedback

Simple Poll Format Survey
Is this poll format better for simple questions that are not important?
Not at all!
Not really.
I don\'t know.
Sort of.
Completely!
Pantyhose Poll
Do you wear pantyhose?
Never!
Not often.
Sometimes.
Often.
Always!

As you can see, I created a new poll format. I used 1 of those free poll sites that are available on the web. I wanted something simple, so that we could check back on our own, without having to wait for me to post results. Creating a blog entry to post the results to a poll, when it is just for fun, is a lot of work for something that is just for fun. I hope that you will understand. I hope that you like it more than the way that I have been doing things.

The pantyhose poll is just for fun, so feel free to vote several times to get a feel for how it works. The other poll is more serious, so please try to do it only once per person. I did not use any method of checking, so that you could have more than 1 person use the same computer to vote. Feel free to vote on behalf of relatives and friends, since there is no record of any personal information.

I will continue to use the older way of doing things for more important surveys. I am sure that there must be better survey sites out there, but I do know that big companies and universities do use SurveyMonkey. Alisa already mentioned Experience Project, which I still want to go to. If you know of any better survey sites, then feel free to suggest.

Convertible Hosiery

It covers the toes or not. I intend to call her up for purchasing information, to see if we can purchase a bunch for the group. I think that they will be most useful for men when we go to the beach and don't want sand to rub against our hosiery. Please, comment on the idea to let me know what you think.

Kelly Ripa In Black Tights Today

I passed by the TV while it was on, and was pleasantly surprised to see Kelly Ripa in black tights. I think that this is the first time that I have ever seen her wear them. I thought that we reached another milestone, but apparently, a Google image search shows that she has worn them on the show in the past.

Jobst Affirms Men's Hosiery Market With Thigh High Stockings

I am excited to see that Jobst has a new pair of men's thigh high stockings. An established mainstream business offering men's thigh highs implies that the demand for men's hosiery is growing, and that men in stockings is becoming more widely accepted.

Asperger Syndrome And Hosiery

I am surprised that the topic of Asperger's Syndrome and hosiery came up. It seems that some Asperger's Syndrome people wear hosiery.

I believe that there is a connection, because autistic people tend to like compression to help calm themselves down. I remember seeing a documentary about how they like to go into a contraption to add pressure to their bodies. The autistic people would control the pressure with a joystick of sorts.

From my own experience, I feel so good, when that heavy lead blanket is placed on me at the dentist office. I do not get the same good feeling when I wear hosiery, but I do get a sense of completeness. I feel like I am fully clothed. Perhaps I will try to turn an old pair of hosiery into a shirt, so that I can feel some pressure around my rib cage. I wonder if it would help me to concentrate more.

I encourage you all to share testimonies and thoughts, if you are an Asperger's Syndrome person, who likes to wear hosiery or something similar.
