Future Generations Seem To Have Interest In Hosiery

When I think about Christianity through the ages, I realize that there always seems to be somebody who carries the faith in its pure form. This gives me a bit of hope for Christianity. The same can be said about hosiery as a fashion item. There always seems to be somebody who has an interest in it.

For example, Vienne Cheung is launching her own brand, called VienneMilano. She focuses exclusively on stockings. There is an interview.

[Update] That's not to say that stockings are a pure form of hosiery. The idea is that she is not selling non-hosiery clothing on her web site.

Maybe there is hope. Thank you for reading!

New Canadian Men's Hosiery Coming? Need Your Advice!

I would like to unofficially announce that I have entered into a partnership with a guy from Ontario. We will help to develop new Canadian brands of hosiery. He is an expert with the machines, and can make almost anything.

While we were chatting about wonderful possibilities, I suggested men's hosiery. He had no qualms about it. It was just a matter of what kinds of features we would offer, and the market for it.

Are there certain colours and features that you cannot find out there? Please offer advice on what you want to buy.

Movie: Hanna

Cate Blanchett co-stars in Hanna. Her character was in a hotel room, and there was a pile of her clothes on the bed. The camera shows the clothing long enough, that you can see a pair of sheers with a cotton gusset on the pile. In the same scene, she is moving about in her pantyhose feet.

If you are planning to watch a movie, this Friday, then I recommend this movie. I give 1 leg up, because of the 2 hosiery moments in the movie. I do not give it 2 legs up, because they were very short moments. I rate the story at 7/10.

Different Attitudes About Heels And Hosiery

It is refreshing to read about a culture that views hosiery as a sign of not being poor, and heels as sign of caring about your looks. I have quoted the photo caption below.

(Leggs Sheer Energy )sheer to the waist these cost 1200 pesos here in cebu city here in asian bear leggs are a sign you are poor with out heels means you dont care about your self, or how you look I call it show /show

I love the way that heels look, but I fully respect women who do not wear heels for health reasons. Heels can damage the body.

To all my western friends, can you imagine living in a world, where people think that you are poor because of bare legs? Amazing!

Shorts And Hosiery Are Still Unknown

Usually I associate the fashion of shorts and hosiery with men, because that is what we have been aiming for, for so long. The truth is that the style is more associated with women, because of how common it is with them.

I am still amazed at how few people seem to be aware of it. Maybe I skimmed too quickly through this fashion advice article, but I get the impression that shorts and hosiery is still very new to many people.

I say all of this, because I am beginning to wonder if I truly underestimated how hard it would be to push this trend. I wonder if there are way more people who have not heard, than I could comprehend. Perhaps these people are way too difficult for us to reach.

What do you think?

Used Hosiery: Purse Stuffing

If you ever find that storing your purses can cause them to lose shape, then try stuffing hosiery into them to keep the original shape. The thought of using hosiery for stuffing is old news for us, but trying to keep your purse in shape is something new to me.

How many of you women think that it is a good idea to keep your purses in shape?

Difference Between Men's And Women's Razors

Reader's Digest has an interesting article, that explains the differences.

I plan to stick to epilating. If I ever do any wet shaving, then I plan on using men's razors. As it is, I have so many men's razors, that I would not want to spend any money on new razors, whether they be men's or women's. Also, according to the article, men's razors seem to be best for me.

How do you remove your leg hair? Did the article change your mind about anything?

Proof That Women Look Attractive In Hosiery

People still say that hosiery does not look sexy, but this article, showing people from Big Brother playing spin the bottle, demonstrates that women can look very attractive while wearing hosiery. There is a video at the end, showing more of what happened, and giving a better view of what the women look like.

Hosiery In Wikimedia: CNN Spokeswoman

Women in the media want to portray themselves as powerful. Some women say that pantyhose is for old people, and that hosiery is yesterday's fashion. Would powerful women really want to wear hosiery, if that were the case? I assume that they have professional wardrobe people. Do you think that the wardrobe people would allow that?

More Support For Hosiery And Open Toed Shoes

Women who are on the fence on this issue can breathe a sigh of relief, and then start wearing open toed shoes. Reader's Digest had an expert confirm the fashion of wearing hosiery and open toed shoes.

Do any of you women out there wear hosiery and open toed shoes?

I and other men are cheering for the women who do! Thank you for reading!

Hosiery Advocate's Facebook Page

I made a Facebook page specifically for Hosiery Advocate, which can be used to keep in touch in a more impersonal way. The idea is that some of you want to connect without sharing private details, and this page allows us to do that. This page will be used for announcements related to Facebook activities.

It will also allow me to connect to you without letting others know about my hosiery wearing, since I have not had a chance to let them know about me wearing hosiery, yet.

I also intend to use it to promote my hosiery business.

I do not intend to cross post my blog posts, so keep coming back here.

Used Hosiery: Bathtub Toy Collector

Photos: Happy Woman

This photo caught my attention, because the article was about an older woman dating a younger guy. I am quite surprised that the mainstream media seems to find an interest in this. I think that her sheers are the most interesting part, though.

Silks Web Site Is Down

It seems that the Silks web site is not functioning. There is no official announcement on what is happening, so hang tight.

Movie: Wild Target

Emily Blunt co-stars in Wild Target. She often wears opaques, a pair of semi-opaques, a blue pair, and a red pair. Her skirts are usually about mid-thigh high, and the lighting in the movie is wonderful.

I think that she is beautiful, and I enjoyed the story. I think that you will too.

Is she wearing tights?

Her outfit makes me want to go out and buy a pair of what she has. I am reminded of American Apparel hosiery photos.

Maybe I should start a new game, where we guess whether or not a gal or guy is wearing opaques. Sometimes they might be wearing leggings or some kind of cycling tights which are not the same.

Used Hosiery: Ruffle Skirt

I never realized that you can use hosiery to make a ruffle skirt. According to the blog post, you use the hosiery to make the ruffles. It makes sense, though. The hosiery does not need to be ironed or straightened out. When you wash it, you probably do not need to worry about it stretching, since the hosiery is sewn to the skirt.

Would you wear something like that?

Performed In The Background Of A Show Yesterday

They wanted me to wear shorts outside yesterday, even though it was very cold. I asked if I could wear hosiery under my shorts, but they did not seem interested. I suppose that hosiery did not give them the look that they wanted.

If only we could get more people wearing, then it would be easier.

Movie: Source Code

I watched it the other day, and I thought that I would recommend it to all of you hosiery enthusiasts. I give it 2 legs up! If you are thinking about watching a movie this coming Thursday or Friday, then try this.

Michelle Monaghan costars in this movie. She wears black semi-opaques, but due to the lighting, she seemed to wear opaques. There are many great perspectives of the same outfit.

It would be hard to watch a movie that had only eye candy, and no story and action. This movie provides a good balance of both, so the movie will not run on you.

If you watched it, then let me know what you think.

FireHosiery Is A New Australian Company

I am pleased to congratulate FireHosiery on starting up. I am proud to say that I seem to be the first person to comment in their blog. I am disappointed to say that my comment is now gone. Did they delete it? I was trying to congratulate them on starting up.

FireHosiery seems to be unique in that they only have patterned hosiery. I wonder how far they can go with that. I assumed that every company needs to sell unpatterned hosiery as a main source of income. To those of you who have business experience, do you think that they can survive on just patterned hosiery?

Be sure to check out their YouTube channel. They have a nice video on how to put on hosiery. It seems to be the nicest that I have ever seen. If you know of any better videos that teach us how to put on hosiery, then please do share in the comments below. They also have a great video of a photo shoot, and a fashion show. In the fashion show, some of the women do not wear anything below the hips, other than hosiery and shoes.

Returned From Measuring Waistless Sheers

It was a great opportunity to connect with the seller. She ended up giving me a couple of pairs. I got a pair waistless sheers with control top and and a pair without. I cannot wait to try them on, and give you a review!

She seems to be a really nice person with a lot of samples. I wanted 1 of everything, but I did not want to seem greedy, especially since I was not expecting any free stuff to begin with.

I think that waistless hosiery will have a lot of potential. We will see.

It was also a great opportunity to get a feel for what is happening with the hosiery industry. She will be offering 4 European brands, which I am excited about, and hope to add to the site.

She mentioned that I must now order at least $250 worth of stock, every time, and that selling what I do not have in stock will be very inconvenient. This means that it will be harder to stock up, but I will see what I can do. Perhaps I can offer a a special order service.

I am not certain, but she must have seen my dark brown opaque hosiery. So, I assume that another person now knows.

What a great day! Thank you for reading!

CNN Women And Other News Women Wearing More Hosiery?

This past Wednesday, I passed by the CNN discussions on the Presidential race. I could not tell for sure, but the women seemed to be wearing dark ultra sheers or a skin tone hosiery that was slightly darker that their skin. Their legs were obscured by the transparent desk, so I could not know for sure.

Other local news channels seem to show the women covering their legs more.

Is it just my imagination, or are more news women wearing hosiery?

To get Silks products to sell, I go to my local sales representative.

Recently, I got permission to visit her office, so that I could measure the dimensions of styles #19099 & #19040. I am hoping to give the best product information on my e-commerce site.

It is also a good opportunity to see her in person. I will try to make sure that I wear more than just my comfortable grubby grey shorts, so that I can set a good impression of men who wear shorts and hosiery.

Leggings With A Message

This is so clever! Normally, I am not a big fan of leggings, but I thought that this would be something that you would be interested in. These leggings humourously measure your skirt length.

You could buy a Spanish version, too. I think that the Spanish page shows it better. I get the impression that the highest rating is above the crotch. Amazing!

Would you ever wear a pair of hosiery or leggings that had these markings on them? I do not think that I would, because the text and skirt lengths are associated with being a woman. That being said, I think that having text on a leg can a great opportunity for men and women to send a meaningful message or to create some humour.

Moisturizing My Legs

stock photo of a small container of petroleum jelly

Lately, I have been using petroleum jelly to moisturize my legs, because I am sick and tired of taking off my hosiery and finding lots of flakes of dead skin. It is just gross to me, and it is difficult to wash them out, I think.

stock photo of a pair of smooth female legs

In general, moisturizing skin is off-topic for this blog, but we need relatively clean and nice skin to get the most out of our hosiery wearing experience.

The best technique that I have found is to add a thin layer of petroleum jelly all over the skin, when you get out of the shower. I tend to do it several minutes later, but the sooner the better.

An interesting challenge I find is trying to moisturize skin when it is already dry. The simplest solution is to just use water and petroleum jelly. If there is a faucet near by, then I would lightly wet my hands, and then rub the water into my skin. I would then quickly rub the petroleum jelly in.

In the future, I intend to carry a little bottle of or a little container of water. When I am outside of the house, I can use the water to wet my hands, before applying the moisturizer.

I find that the skin is so much more receptive to moisturizers when it is wet. The water evaporates, and then leaves the moisturizer much more evenly spread out.

Lately, my hands have been so much smoother, and I have enjoyed the tactile sensation the hosiery that I wear much more.

What kinds of things do you do to moisturize your skin?

Ralph Lauren Endorses Shorts For Work

Over a year ago, Ralph Lauren's company advised men to wear shorts at work.

I was pretty impressed. The fact that any company endorses shorts for work is impressive, but the part that impressed me was the fact that they tried to keep it professional looking.

Where do you think that these outfits would be appropriate? Do you completely agree with all of their advice? I know that you have strong opinions on what is fashionable. Enlighten us, please! :^)

There seems to be quite a mix of reactions. One reader said that she wanted the model's number. Another reader said that the anklets and bracelets do not work.

I think that I agree with the anklets and bracelets comment. The suggested outfits in the photos seemed a bit too casual to me, but overall, they seem to hit the mark. I think that they are correct in that bankers and lawyers would be out of luck. I think that this would work best in an environment that is more casual than the modelled outfits.

Thank you for reading!

Happy New Year 2012!

I hope that you have a great year.

This year ended much faster than I anticipated. I think that the last month flew by so quickly because I am still recovering from my illness.

In 2012, I hope to transfer this blog to my Hosiery Advocate Google account, as opposed to using my eugenetswong Google account. I want to do this, so that all images that I upload to Google for blogging purposes will be stored on my Hosiery Advocate Picassa account, which will make it easier for you to find my images. You would be able to look up Hosiery Advocate and find the images.

In 2012, I would also like to start putting banner images in the blog posts, to support the businesses that have sent me free hosiery.

In 2012, I would also like to start adding more links to the bottom of some blog posts, so that it is easier to find the other related blog posts. For example, there are a bunch of Hooters photos, that I would like to connect. Right now, you have to search, or just keep clicking until you get to them.

What are your plans for 2012? What do you want to see more of from me? Do you have any suggestions?

Happy New Year!

Thanks for reading!
