Hosiery Advocate Forgot To Wear Shorts!

Have you ever dreamed that you forgot to wear pants while going around outside of the home? It is a weird feeling, is it not?

Well, that really kind of happened to me in the home. A few moments ago, after the shower, I was so focused on putting petroleum jelly on my skin, that I forgot to put my shorts on over my footless hosiery. So, I am walking around the home, with a shirt covering my private areas, but I never noticed it, until later.

It was such a strange feeling. I am not sure if anybody else noticed. I apologized, though.

Secret Comfy Top [Waistband free] Hosiery Available At Safeway And Shoppers Drug Mart

I checked the local Safeway at 74 Ave & Scott Rd, in Surrey, and I also checked out the nearby Shoppers Drug Mart. It turns out that they both have Secret Comfy Top, but each store has different style numbers. For a while, I wondered if the manufacturer just changed the style number, the packaging, and the fabric, hoping to keep everything else the same. It turns out that I was wrong. Here are the details.

Safeway sells style #5530, only in black. They have sizes B, C, and D. The manufacturer does not make size A. The package that I have came from The Bay, if I recall correctly, and it shows the regular price was $8.95. I would need to check Safeway again, for an updated price. It contains 92% nylon, and 8% elastane.

Shoppers Drug Mart sells style #78123, also only in black, also in sizes B, C, and D. Again, the manufacturer does not make size A. Style #78123 costs $9.99. It contains 91% nylon, and 9% elastane.

The final bit of evidence is the UPC codes. My package of style #5530 black size C has its UPC code mostly covered, but it seems to be different than style #78123 black size C's UPC code.

I will get back to you on an updated price from Safeway.

Friday Fun Poll: More Hosiery Coming Winter?

It has been a while since we last had a poll. Do you agree? :^)

Remember to not base your guesses only what you saw this autumn. Try to think about the weather that might be coming up.

Remember, you can vote on behalf of somebody else.

Hosiery Advocate's Boutique Mailing Costs Lowered $1 Or More

Now that I know how to pay for my shipping online and how to print the documents out, I save around 5% on my shipping. I have decided to pass the most/all of the savings to the customer. 5% comes out to about $1-$2. I have lowered the prices to round numbers, so that shipping costs will be on the dollar, and not in between.

For those of you hesitating about buying, I encourage you to buy now, because Canada Post will raise it rates in January 2011.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Canada Post's Ship-in-a-click Is Easy

Secret Comfy Top Hosiery [Style #5530] Available In My Store [Opaque Waistband Free Hosiery]

I did a search for Secret waistband-free opaques, and it turns out that I have style #5530 available at Hosiery Advocate's Outlet. I was totally surprised.

This means that a local store sells it. I will try to find it again, and update you on where you can buy it, if you prefer to buy it directly from them.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Secret Only Sold In Big Stores

I just found out yesterday, that Secret brand hosiery cannot be sold by independent dealers, such as me. Customers can only buy them from big stores, and drug stores.

This is unfortunate, because I wanted to sell Secret hosiery at Hosiery Advocate's Boutique. I was especially interested in selling Secret waistband-free opaques [style #5530], because most stores do not sell them.

I was hoping that I could specialize in waistband-free hosiery, since I noticed that my waistband-free selection has been getting the most hits.

Do any of you know where you can buy Secret waistband-free hosiery? Please post anything that you know below, because some people probably prefer Secret over Silks.

Sheer Hosiery Has A Long Ways To Go

I am a little disheartened to see that people still frown upon wearing sheers. It seems to be a broad group of people too. Notice that it is not just the writer that thinks so. Look at the poll results. I am quite shocked, actually.

I suggest that you go over and vote!

Gal Still Wears Tights And Leotards

It is good to know that there is still a beautiful gal who stills wants to wear the traditional ballet clothing when starting ballet lessons.

If I understand correctly, during ballet class, most gals can get away with wearing leggings, yoga pants, and the typical high tech clothing on the market. Therefore, they tend to wear those things instead.

Christmas time is actually a pretty tough time of the year for me. I hope that it all goes much easier for you.

Sarah Jessica Parker Wears Blue Opaques

Do you remember how she wore no hosiery for such a long time, especially during that TV show's time period? She wore so little hosiery during that time period, that I do not even want to say the show's name. That being said, it is good to see a new Sarah Jessica Parker who is willing to wear blue opaque hosiery, as well as sheers, a bit more.

Pantyhose Party Interview Will Not Happen

Pantyhose Party ended up answering most of the questions, that I had sent him. Unfortunately, he felt offended by my recent emails to him, and ordered me to no longer post the interview.

I do not like to air out private discussions, but I find that sometimes the public needs to know certain things. I think that he is a strange person that people must avoid for now. Here are the last few emails that we sent to each other, so that you can decide for yourself.

Pantyhose Party

Here you go, sorry to have kept you waiting. Please provide some click-through links for my blogs somewhere along with the interview. They're on my signature. Thanks for this opportunity!

Hosiery Advocate

How old are you?

You never told me which country you come from. Are you trying to keep that private?

Pantyhose Party

Yes, I'm not really that interested in speaking about personal details. Thanks!

Hosiery Advocate

Part of the reason for the interview is to get to know the person behind the web site. It's not like we need your name or anything.

You never told us if you wear, where you live, your age, or how you intend to get everybody to actually wear hosiery. These are all the main reason people come to my blog. Just reposting photos that you never made is not a big enough reason to justify a full interview.

I'll think about whether or not to post the interview. I'll probably mention something, though. It might be worth a discussion.

Pantyhose Party

I'm not really enjoying your attitude now and I didn't really like your response to the e-mail I sent before so I think it's better if you don't post anything at all. I'm sorry to have wasted my time answering your questions. You're rude and pretentious and I don't really care about being featured on the blog of someone who behaves like a complete asshole.

Hosiery Advocate

I won't post the interview, but I will mention to the readers that there will be no interview and why. They were expecting an interview from you and deserve to know.

Secondly, if you are not enjoying my attitude, and if you didn't like my response before, and if you think that I'm being rude, then you misunderstood me. Perhaps English isn't your first language? You gave me no clue about how you felt. I wasn't sure if you were being playful or not. At first, when I read your answers, I thought that you were being playful.

Third, if you insist that I'm being pretentious, then you really do misunderstand me. I'm not pretending to be anything. I'm just trying to treat my blog as if it were a professional magazine. In other words, I just want to practise journalism. I'm not a professional journalist, but I am trying to incorporate as many of the practises as possible.

Perhaps you never read my previous interviews, but the interview questions that you got were mostly the same as the interview questions that they got. You didn't have to answer every single question, obviously, but these are pretty generic questions, that still allow you to protect your privacy.

What do you think? Was I rude? The whole point of the interview was to understand how the project was supposed to work, but he did not give me any serious information.

Another thing that I want to warn you about is his willingness to send you announcements, even though you never asked for them. He considers you to be a friend, even though you might not have contacted each other very much.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Attended To Hosiery Business

Other than the fact that I was sick, I had a pretty good day.

Since I was finally allowed out of bed to visit the doctor, I got out of bed early to attend to my hosiery business.

The first thing that I wanted to do was measure the length of the unstretched legs of the waistless tights. It seems that manufacturer matched to the wrong packages the black size 1 pairs and the black size 3 pairs. I will try to write more about that tomorrow.

During that time, I discovered that the waistband-free tights have flat seams, except for the black size 3. It seems that the black size 3 is old stock.

After my doctor's appointment, I also measured the length and width of the unstretched panty portions of the size 3 and 2. I think that unstretched measurements will give people a better idea of what to expect. I will also try give them a stretched panty portion width, too.

I sent out another parcel to my second paying customer. I did it, immediately after the doctor's appointment. I saved time that way.

I also added a couple of products to 1 of my web sites. Both of them are waistband-free sheer hosiery, by Silks. 1 of them has control-top. The other just has a reinforced panty, which seems very sheer.

I still need to get prices, so I cannot allow people to order them yet.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Doctor Says That I Can Go Back To Work

It all depends on how I feel. If I feel up to it, then fine. If not, then I need to rest. I am really in between. I am still coughing a little. I do not want to go in to work, at all, but I feel that I need to support my company a little.

I was straight forward with my supervisor. I will go in tomorrow, for the first half day, because I believe that he must give me a half day to follow his rules, but after that, I expect only full days while I am sick. It is not worth while for me to come in for a half day while I am sick. I have a 3 hour round trip. I do not want to spend 7 hours away from home, just for $40. I would rather stay home and get well.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Hosiery Advocate Has Pneumonia Or Bronchitis

The doctor listened to my breathing through my back. When he asked me to breath deeply, I did it, and then I ended up coughing away. I tried again, and the same thing happened. He knew right away that it was pneumonia or bronchitis. I am amazed at how quickly he knew.

He prescribed antibiotics, and ordered that I stay in bed for 4 days. I will get out of bed for only basic things like eating and bathroom usage. So I probably will not see any feedback from you, until Thursday.

I must go in for another check up on Thursday, so I will check for responses, and email then.

Normally, I try to let blog posts get posted automatically everyday, but I intend to leave this up until I have more information. I wanted to update you, before I went to bed, so that you were not left wondering for so many days. :^D

I Planned To Go To Work On Sunday

I called my boss today to let him know that I was feeling better, and that I could go back to work tomorrow. That was probably not very wise, because I started to feel worse in the evening.

I will probably call him tomorrow to let him know, unless I improve drastically.

This is my third work day not working, so I think that I have to get an official diagnosis.

Still Sick

I wanted to mail off the hosiery, but I hate going out in cold weather when I am sick. I called my supervisor to warn him that I might not make it in tomorrow. I told him that I might be contagious, which is true.

This morning, my stomach was so bloated, that it felt like a full balloon, or like a flexed abdomen. I coughed up tiny droplets of blood, too. I was going to go to the doctor, but it was too early, so I tried to go back to sleep. When I woke up, I felt better, so I changed my mind.

Doris Hosiery Responded Regarding Silks Waistless Tights [Style #2395; a.k.a Style #19295]

It is good to know that Doris Hosiery Mills Ltd. is responsive. They want me to send a size 3 of java and black hosiery. They want to examine the differences in the sizes. I will try to send them a couple of pairs, as they requested, but I am concerned about shipping costs. It costs over $10, and it does not seem like a viable way of cooperating. I sent them another email, asking if they will pay for shipping both ways. I will keep you updated.

Any Progress For Men In Hosiery?

I am confident that women in hosiery have made tremendous progress in the last 3 years. I still clearly remember how exciting it was just to see the media appreciate hosiery at all. Now, it seems as if mainstream society is only a few steps away from making hosiery mandatory with skirts.

How well are men in hosiery doing? In the last few months, I never really bothered to stop and think about it. I just assumed that we would make progress.

I must wonder, though, what has happened in the last few months, or even a year, to show men in hosiery becoming popular? Have we seen any famous people wearing hosiery in a normal way? Have we seen characters in movies wear hosiery?

It is still too abnormal. I think that that is why my company can afford to discriminate against me. I think that that is why companies can still afford to ban men from wearing shorts and hosiery at work.

What can we do about this? Wear shorts and hosiery in as many places as possible, of course!

I understand that there are many communities where you will literally be ostracized, but as long as you have your close group of friends and family to support you, then what do you care about strangers rejecting you? We need more people to get out there.

Just the other day, DougAA commented on how some people think that unisex clothing is good, while others think that it is bad. I appreciate him discussing that with me, especially since I brought up the topic, :^) but I think that it might be premature for us to discuss that, when men are not even allowed to wear shorts and hosiery to work.

In fact, we almost are not even allowed to wear them in public. The other day, when I delivered the hosiery parcel, I passed by somebody who must have seen me wear hosiery several times. However, he muttered silently to his wife to look at me. I honestly cannot say for sure what the problem was, but I suspect that he was fascinated by my footless hosiery. That is pretty unbelievable. I have been wearing publically for 10-15 years, I think, and we still are not much further ahead.

Maybe I am being unrealistic. As it is, some people are still fighting for the right to be in an interracial relationship. Maybe the road is much longer than I thought.

I think that maybe my next goal should be to finish off the survey for men in hosiery in the work place on Commercial Drive. If I could create some kind of directory for men to find jobs, where they can wear hosiery, then maybe, just maybe, we can do something.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Pantyhose Lasts Longer With Lycra® Fusion

LYCRA® Fusion is a brand of spandex. There are other brands of spandex out there. INVISTA, the company that owns LYCRA®, has made the effort to create a better fibre that will help our hosiery to run less. I am looking forward to seeing how this feels. I can imagine that we will get the same great feeling products that do not run as much as they currently do. The page explains clearly the decisions and thoughts behind the marketing efforts.

At the end of that page is a link to their brochure, which explains it better than I ever could, and shows 2 great photos. There are magnified photos that show how a hole will not run.

An interesting thing in the brochure is the phrase, The first flight starts in October 2009. It seems that I am not as connected to the hosiery industry as I would like to believe.

Does anybody have any experience with LYCRA® Fusion? Have you tried wearing it?

Tried Fleece Opaque Hosiery

Yesterday, when I went out to ship the hosiery, I tried on the fleece footless hosiery from Jessica.

I am really pleased with how snug they are. They almost feel like support hosiery.

They are extremely opaque. I do not think that I can see any skin at all.

They felt a little rough on the outside, but I think that that is only because they have not been washed. When I wear them after washing, I will let you know what happened.

Overall, I love them, because they offer so much confidence that I will stay warm.

Panty Portion Sighting At Work

Usually, at work, I like to look at the women and the girls, as they go by. About a week ago, I noticed a particular girl with black opaques that had a subtle shimmer. As I looked her over, I did a double take, because the panty portion was clearly visible. I am amazed that women are willing to show that kind of stuff. Her shirt was the normal shirt that goes down to the top of hips. Her mini skirt sat low on the hips. I was impressed. It actually looked kind of nice, because it appeared to be an undershirt.

Yesterday Hosiery Stock Arrived For Store

Yesterday, I came home to discover that a package had arrived for me. It was from Doris Hosiery, and contains the waistless hosiery. I will be selling this in Hosiery Advocate's Boutique. This waist band free hosiery does not seem to be in department stores very much. I will write up a product review in the upcoming week.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Bought Lots Of Hosiery

Yesterday, after work, I kind of hesitated about spending money on hosiery, since I do not have much to spend, but this probably the best time to do it, because of Sears Days, which meant that we could buy 5 or more pairs for 50% off. I combined my employee discount and another $10 off for opening an in-store credit card. In total, I saved about $64 off of about $90+. It came down to $30 and a few cents. A couple of the pairs were worth $20 at regular prices, so I got a good deal.

1 package contains nothing but small foot padding for the front of the feet, that wrapped around the top of the feet. I will blog more on them later, I think.

1 pair is grey Silks Desire. I think that this will make a great part of my hosiery library, since I like grey.

1 of the pairs was Jessica brand fleece footless hosiery, like the Pretty Polly Fleecy full length hosiery. I like the idea of fleece hosiery being footless, because it will probably not be sold for its appearance, as much as it will be sold for its warmth. When we wear hosiery as warm clothing, with casual outfits, then we are more likely to combine socks with it. When we wear the full length hosiery, it will probably wear out at the feet. Therefore, we'll get more value out the thermal hosiery, if we just let it be good at keeping our legs warm, and letting our socks take all the punishment and wear and tear.

If you were offered a free pair of fleece footless hosiery or fleece full length hosiery, then which would you choose?

The end. Thank you for reading!

Pretty Polly Fleecy Available At Shoppers Drug Mart

Do you remember me mentioning that I went to Shoppers Drug Mart and saw Pretty Polly hosiery? I went there again, yesterday, to confirm the style that I saw. They have a few fashion styles, but the plain-looking opaques are definitely Fleecy Tights.

Weighing in at 200 deniers, with the fleece on the inside and not the outside, I would say that this is a new trend that is worth embracing. The appearance in formal enough for special occasions and the texture is warm enough for the outdoors.

Have you tried them before? Let me know what you think?

Does anybody know whether or not it is matte or shimmery?

I plan to buy a pair in the future.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Men Wearing Men's Clothing; Not Men Wearing Women's Clothing

There is such a subtle difference between what I am trying to do, and what others are doing. I could be wrong, but most men, pushing the hosiery trend, are probably trying push for the trend to wear women's clothing. For example, Daryll Duane Philips wear hosiery and lipstick. He wears hosiery with no shorts or pants. There is a video and some Facebook photos for you to see.

There are 3 different kinds of perspectives. He is trying to get society to accept men in women's clothing. I am trying to get society to accept hosiery as men's clothing. There are also people who are trying to get society to believe that men's hosiery exists. Do you see the difference?

Weight Loss Can Be Associated With Beautiful Hosiery

It seems that an already slim Alex Jones has lost weight, due to her dancing. The hosiery and other clothing that she wears really flatter her. We could also say that she flatters the hosiery too. See the photos for yourself. I love her outfit with the black opaques and orange mini skirt.

I realize, though, that there are people trying to bring more hosiery to the plus size market, and I congratulate them.

Pretty Polly Has New Pop-up Shop

I am very pleased to see them open up a pop-up shop.

From my experience in the hosiery job, I see that we cannot always have a steady supply of every kind of hosiery. Stock fluctuates, and usually, we have a lot of 1 kind and not much of another. I think that a pop-up shop is a great way to deal with fluctuations in fashion and inventory. Once the trend is about to disappear, then we should shut the store down.

It seems pretty simple for Pretty Polly.

Pretty Polly Available In Canada

On Wednesday night, I went into a drug store [i.e. Shoppers Drug Mart] to see what kinds of hosiery they had. I assumed that it would be all the same as what I saw before, but I was completely wrong. They got new product suppliers, and they ended up going with Soxsense®, Allude®, and Pretty Polly.

I had to do a double take. I was so surprised to see that Pretty Polly had made it to Canada. I did not know what to make of their styles. The style that caught my attention, though, was an opaque style, made of polyester and spandex.

It felt very nice, and I hope to try it 1 day.

I am a bit disappointed in Pretty Polly or Shoppers Drug Mart for not letting us know that Pretty Polly had finally arrived in Canada.

Have any of you tried Pretty Polly? What do you think of it?

Used Hosiery: Punching Bag

A nice reader mentioned that we can make punching bags out of this. I am not convinced that we can make anything strong enough to give us a good workout, but I think that we can make a toy to distract us, while we think about things. If we need to clear our minds, then maybe a simple punching bag could work.

This ehow article gives us some instructions.

You can create a homemade punching bag with an old pair of pantyhose by tying a few simple knots. Place a soccer ball into the waist section of the hose and knot the waist of the ball. Use the legs to tie the hose to a beam or tree branch and start punching!

I think that most of us would need to find another way of doing it. Perhaps you have a strong ceiling fixture that you can use to tie an end around. Perhaps you could tie it across a hallway, by tyeing it to a couple of door knobs. If it is too low, then maybe you could tie it on the inside of 2 door knobs on the insides of a couple of different rooms, and then bring the hosiery up and over the doors, with the ball hanging in the hallway. I hope that makes sense. The panty portion would be in the hallway, and the legs would go from there to over the tops of the doors, and down to the door knobs.

What are your suggestions?

The end. Thank you for reading!

SIGVARIS Also Offering Fashion Hosiery

After yesterday's blog post, news of SIGVARIS's fashion hosiery caught my attention. SIGVARIS even set up a nice flashy web site just for their soft opaques. More and more, ugly hosiery seems like a thing of the past.

Better At Work

My supervisor seems to be happier.

Just so that you know, I do not report to a manager. I report to a team leader, who is in charge of a few departments, and he is what most people would typically call a department manager. For my readers and friends, I call him a supervisor to keep it easy for them to understand.

For the last couple of days, I tried writing things down, instead of trying to remember things. What a difference! I am determined to write everything down, and move as quickly as possible. The last part is obvious, but I found that the trick is to prepare as much as possible, so that I can move faster when I put hosiery on the hooks.

Another trick that I figured out, after work, yesterday, is to write basic information on the boxes when we open them, and then add more, after I get a chance to sift through them. Normally, I would insist on writing the information, when I open them, but it does not have to be that way.

I must admit that the job is getting more and more interesting. As I get better and better at it, I am tempted to just keep moving faster and faster, to make it more and more interesting.

People Still Do Not Like Hosiery??

Okay. I will admit that there are times when we do not feel like wearing them, for whatever reasons, but I cannot believe that people are still unhappy with hosiery. It is like they are still in the 1990s. They are people to be pitied and looked down upon.

On the other hand, maybe they live in a city or town, where the hosiery displays are all messy, and the hosiery is damaged, and the hosiery has been repackaged incorrectly, by well-meaning employees. I am giving these disgruntled women the benefit of the doubt, though.

We have to keep on pushing!

Bar Refaeli Will Model Own Inner Wear

She has her own hosiery, and I assume that she will model it, when she models her inner wear. It is good to read about people wearing their own hosiery. If they do not, then it implies that the hosiery might not be that good.

Wearing Different Swim Shorts And Black Hosiery

When I put the other pair of swim shorts in the wash, I started wearing another pair of swim shorts that are really out of style. I wear them pretty much just at home, so appearance is not very important. This second pair is much shorter, and the colours are much brighter. When worn with mostly opaque black hosiery, I feel that the hosiery sticks out so much more. This reminds me girls from the orient wearing a mixture of clothing, instead of just classic styles. This just goes to show that if we want to wear hosiery and shorts in public, then we just need to wear classic colours that blend well.

Wore Footless Hosiery And Socks Lately

I have not been too excited about wearing anything in particular lately. I thought that this wold be a good opportunity to start wearing footless hosiery and socks. I think that the socks might be warmer because they are thicker. Also, if I am not excited about hosiery right now, then I want to put all the wear an tear on my socks instead of my hosiery.

Yesterday, I went to the local public library branch. Because it was so close, and because I wanted to be quick, and because it was in the middle of the day, I figured that I could go out in my comfortable house clothing, and then not many people would notice. I think that I was right. I went out in that clothing because I wanted to save time, and not have to change clothes.

At first, I was scared, because I did not want hosiery on men to look bad. The library branch is so close that it might be almost as quick driving. I went inside, and tried to keep an eye out for people doing a double take. I do not think that anybody noticed. It was probably because all of my clothing had a sporty feel to it: the pull over sweat shirt, the swim shorts, the socks, the runners, etc.

Sometimes cultures can be very intolerant, but sometimes they cannot be bothered to even look at us once.

I Will Report Discrimination Of My Supervisor

I do need my job, but the company's policy requires that we report these things. I wrestled over the issue a lot, and I have come to realize that if I do not speak out when something is out right wrong, then I will be no better than the person committing it. I remember that when I was young, I resolved to never be the silent type. Over the years, I became afraid to speak out, because of the cost. The good thing is that there is a hot line where we can post things anonymously. I will do that. I will submit the information in the third person, so that it does not sound like I am reporting my own problem. I will mention the facts to support the idea that it is clear discrimination.

I would rather be out of work, than live in silence. It is humiliating to be unemployed, but it is morally wrong to let him have that power over me.

Probably Will Not Fight The Issue

I think that having any job in this day and age is seriously a good thing. I do not want to jeopardize my job. I will keep collecting information so that I can do something about it, if I am fired. Also, I plan to give this information to other people who are going to do something about it.

I plan to make an ad, and then put it on Craig's List. I will offer to work with people who want to do something about discrimination from Sears Canada, in Vancouver.

Also, I will start handing out new resumes.

I Was Sent Home Early From Work For Wearing Shorts

I am a little bit upset about this, but I think that this can be an opportunity to bring some attention to our cause.

Honestly, this is becoming fun.

Wearing Shorts And Hoisery To Writers Group

There will be a couple of new people there, tonight. That means that I can expose them to our trend.

That is not the exciting part, though. The exciting part is being able to wear them again, outside of the home. I have not done that for quite some time. I would have to check, but it seems like forever. It seems as if I have not worn them outside of the home for a year. It was probably more like 1 or 2 weeks. :^D

Might Wear Shorts And Hosiery At Work

This week, I need to go in to do some kind of inventory related work. Even though we are supposed to still dress according to the dress code, people typically dress casually. I think that I will wear my grubby grey shorts and grey opaques.

I wonder what will happen. I will let you know if something does.

What Costumes Did You Wear For Halloween?

I wish that I wore something, but I could not come up with anything, and I was kind of busy. I plan to plan for something next year. I might be nice to dress up as a mummy. I could wear a white leotard over white opaques, and wear bandages. The white leotard and hosiery would be there to allow me to wear less bandages. We will see.

But what about you? Did you wear anything? Let us know! I am very curious about whether or not you wore hosiery.

Epilated Legs Today

I have not epilated my legs since the middle of September 2011. It was looking very ugly, and I was feeling very self-conscious when wearing shorts and hosiery. I finally did it during the late morning and early afternoon.

The skin felt wonderful, because there were no ingrown hairs, and everything was just dandy.

I also noticed that because I had not gone out in shorts and hosiery for some time, I felt different today, when I finally wore them again to run an errand. I cannot remember the exact feeling, but it did feel good, and I am convinced that I need to wear shorts and hosiery after work.

I also think that because I will not be going out in shorts and hosiery as much, I might just shave my legs, and epilate only once per month, or so. I think that I cannot epilate very often, because my hair is very scruffy and thick. It is sparse, but each hair is very thick and twisted, which means that it will be very easy for it to become ingrown.

What are some of your experiences with leg hair? Do you get twisted hair? Do you epilate or shave?

The end. Thank you for reading!

Hosiery In Wikimedia: Halloween Jockey Costume

Halloween 2010 Fabulous

This is my favourite Halloween photo. I saved it for as close to Halloween as possible.

I think that she has a very clean appearance. It is not the typical Halloween costume for women. I think that she has very fresh face and a sweet smile.

Oh wait. Look at her neck line. Maybe she is not as innocent as I thought.

A Sight For Sore Eyes

Working in a department store can get mildly oppressive, when you do not have meaningful work. However, like all jobs, there are some perks. A lovely young lady was having a tough time explaining herself. At least, that is what she thought. So, she lifted up her skirt; probably a 40's style skirt, and then showed me a stocking top and garter.

Rest assured, my dear readers, she had metal clasps.

I think that she may have sensed confusion from me, before lifting. Perhaps she does not expect guys to know about hosiery, and because I asked what she meant when she used certain terminology. I usually ask questions to make things easier for all of us, not because I am confused.

I do not know what my facial expression was like, but I was very surprised. If she thought that I was confused, before lifting, then maybe I should be confused more often! ;^D

The end. Thank you for reading!

Customers In The Hosiery Department

1 thing that I noticed about women in the hosiery department is the way that they so casually use stockings to refer to any form of hosiery. Often times, it turns out that they want full length hosiery or even just knee highs.

This kind of backfired yesterday, when somebody asked me for actual stockings. She was looking for opaques, so that she could combine them with her shape-wear. In other words, she did not want a panty portion that would need to go over or under her shape-wear. It made sense to me, because things would get more uncomfortable.

Fortunately for her, DIM sold a pair of opaque stay-ups. They seemed quite nice. I am not sure if she ended up buying them.

Might Wear Shorts And Hosiery After Work

I think that I will never wear hosiery and shorts again, outside of the home, outside of work hours, if things continue. I just do not go out very much. I would probably wear them if I left home to run some errands, but that would happen very rarely. It seems that wearing them on the way home will be the only way to show my coworkers what normal guys look like when they wear.

The store provides change rooms in the coat room, so that it is easy for us to get changed after work. I could carry a bag with me to work. Having all of my belongings in a bag might make me feel more prepared and comfortable.

What do you all think? Should I get changed after work?

Business Shorts And Suit: Reward For The First Year Of Work

Lately, I have been making goals to keep me motivated at work.

Every time I go to work, I buy myself a nice medium smoothie, or a Julius original, from Orange Julius. There have been times that I missed out on the treat, because I bought some Chinese food, and did not feel like it at the next break, but for the most part, I have been very consistent about it.

I have also made some larger goals. Every time I complete a full calendar month of employment, I will treat myself to something bigger, like maybe a nice sundae from Dairy Queen. We will see.

I have also made a long term goal. When I complete my first year of work, I will treat myself to a new black suit with business shorts. I think that it will look quite nice. Hopefully the suit will match my kilts. I chose this as a reward, because of how important it is that I be able to go out with visible hosiery, while wearing a suit.

Business Opportunities For Hosiery

I stumbled upon the idea of being a concierge. I began to wonder, "What if we could get people to come to us, to order hosiery, and then just let us do the choosing?". I know that seems impossible, but the idea is that we could save them time, and we could focus on just sending a pair of hosiery to them.

To see what I am getting at, here is the Wikipedia definition of a shopping concierge.

Shopping concierge is a service that provides either personal assistance in shopping in particular area, usually tourist shopping spot, or sometimes associated with pre-order shopping service. Shopping concierge service business is getting more grip, shoppers have to face difficulties shopping outside their countries, due to issue like payment method, shipping method, etc. Some of the merchants or stores that do not support international shipping usually become the source of shopping concierge business, while shoppers in countries where big brands and stores are not available become their target market.

Usually shopping concierge business charge their customesr per time based (hours or daily) or charge them per shopping transaction with fixed-cost or percentage based. Many shopping concierge service provider, such as Concierge.com, Quinessentially.com, etc.

Duties At Sears

After working for about 3.5 weeks at Sears, I am beginning to understand my role there. Generally speaking, most of my time there is spent working the cash register, and getting shoes. Sometimes, I open and close the cash registers. As far as hosiery goes, I spend a lot of time tidying up the hosiery racks and pulling out new stock. I do focus on hosiery a bit more than others, but hosiery is such a small part of it.

It bothers me that I spend so little time taking care of the hosiery, but there is very little that I can do about it. I think that I need to realize that the hosiery situation is a problem and that it was that way before I came, and that it will be that way long after I am gone. I believe that Sears has so much variety and so little space for it, that it would be impossible to fix the problem at my level of employment. It would cost Sears too much to bring me in more often, just for dealing with hosiery.

All of this makes me a little upset, but it also forces me to look on the positive side, because if I do not, then I will just end up being miserable or quitting. A lot of us consider this to be a good milestone for men. I need to stay focused on that. I must learn to appreciate the fact that I can help some people get hosiery, when they would not have been able to otherwise.

If I ever get rich, then I intend to open a hosiery store, so that I can take pride in great quality hosiery that is organized and well displayed. It would be a hobby business. As long as I can break even, then it is worth it.

I just need to stick it out for 2 years, and then move on. This type of a job will never be a great long term job. This means that I have 101.5 weeks to go!

The end. Thank you for reading!

Not Many Outings And Not Much Time

I think that the only big news right now is that I do not have many outings, because of work. I wish that we could wear shorts and hosiery, but we cannot.

Also, because of work, and because of writing practise and because of writing homework, I do not have as much time to blog.

I still want to post the interviews, though. Just do not expect much exciting stuff in November. I will need to do a lot of writing.

Business Shorts Length

1 thing that I neglected to mention was that the business shorts should come down to the knees. Women's business skirts probably should touch the knees, but I think that men's business shorts should be high enough to avoid touching the front of the knees, and not any higher. The idea is that they might seem too long and baggy when seen to touch the knees.

What do you think is the best length?

Day Sheer Hosiery As Pants

I was sitting in Pacific Centre [i.e. a shopping mall], and I spotted a young girl, probably from Asia. She wore black or off-black pantyhose as pants. I could see her panties underneath, which appeared to be red. It all happened so fast. I think that she wore sheer-to-waist hosiery. I could not tell. My memory is really hazy, so it might have actually had a reinforced panty.

Remember, my dear readers, I am not talking about a woman wearing hosiery and a long shirt. I am talking about a woman wearing a shirt that went down to her waistband or hips. Her coat was open, so anybody could see her panties plainly. I wish that I had followed her to be sure that I saw correctly, but that might be a bit creepy. :^D

I also thought that I saw another girl like that, but with opaques. It was too hard to tell.

Do you think that it will become a trend?

Finished Ironing Pants Into Business Shorts

Do you remember me buying pants from the army surplus store? I finished measuring the shorts, and ironing them, with the legs folded in, to make them easier to sew. I ironed them, with the legs folded in, because once they are ironed, it makes them easier to sew. The end. Thanks for reading!

Business Shorts For Men

The goal of wearing shorts and hosiery in all environments is never going to be reached, unless we can convince people to wear shorts in the business environment.

Finally Had 50 Visitors Each Day For Whole Month

From Sep. 3 until Oct. 3, I had 50 or more visitors each day for the first time. It has not gone below that, since then, either. I appreciate all of you regulars. I also appreciate all of you who have directed some of your traffic to my blog. Thank you very much.

My next goal is to get over 60 visitors each day, for a month. As it is, I already have reached a goal of 55, and I think that I need to set higher goals, so that we will not have to see these tiny announcements every month. I think that 60 visitors might be a little bit harder, but maybe as I share more experiences from work, then more readers will come. The last time I got below 60 visitors was on Oct. 1, and the fluctuations have been very mild. If all goes well, then I should be able to announce the next milestone on Nov. 1.

In the distant future, I hope to create some serious articles, but we will have to see how that turns out.

Finally Had 45 Visitors Each Day For Whole Month

From Aug. 21 until Sep. 20, I had over 45 visitors each day for the first time. It has not gone below that, since then, either. I appreciate all of you regulars. I also appreciate all of you who have directed some of your traffic to my blog. A special note goes out to @LeggsBrand, who retweets blog posts about them, and an even more special note goes to @HosieryNoveltie, who retweets almost anything that I write. I really appreciate every bit of help. Thank you very much.

When I first made this blog post, my next goal was to get at least 50 visitors each day, for a month. That happened much quicker than I thought. The blog post announcing that will be posted in another 12 hours.

I think that I can do it, because I plan to post more than just once per day.

In the distant future, I hope to create some serious articles, but we will have to see how that turns out.

Maybe I Will Not Fight The Issue

I did a search for discrimination complaints, and read up about them. It seems that there are many sad stories of people being ripped off. I have no way of verifying any of those stories, but I believe most of them to be true.

After a bit of reflection on those stories, I came to the conclusion that the only way to survive in this world is to be positive and appreciative of what I have been given: a job; a job helping to sell hosiery. There are many more things too. It would be great to be able to tell people where I get my product knowledge and experience from, but it is not a battle worth fighting in the next few months.

I will think about the possibility in January.

Review Of The Stylish Fox And Service

I am in a bit of a rush, so I will need to summarize this quickly.

2 good things about The Stylish Fox caught my attention: the quick response to my order; and the wish list. Shipment took a while, but Canada Post was having problems with other mail that we were expecting, so I do not fault any of the businesses.

I liked the way that she responded the next day. Quick responses are not important to me, but they are to some of you, so I thought that I would mention it.

I like their wish list feature. Many stores have it, but it is still worth mentioning, because it helps you to select items for later consideration. When I came back to it, I found that I could take a fresh perspective on what would be best.

If you have bought from The Stylish Fox before, then let us know. Have you gotten quick responses from them? Slow responses? Have you used their wish list feature?

Women And Pants And Men And Shorts And Hosiery

Here is something to think about: if women are allowed to wear pants in business formal environments, then why could men not be allowed to wear shorts and hosiery? The only reason that women got what they wanted is because they were intolerant and forced themselves on companies.

Not Allowed To Mention That I Wear Hosiery

I was told yesterday that I am not allowed to tell customers that I wear hosiery. I agreed to it, because I want to keep my job. I thought about it this morning, and became mad. Read the remainder of my post to see what I think.

Speaking About Hosiery As If It Were A Person

For the purposes of reviews, I will refer to a style of hosiery as if it were a person. I think that it would be weird, but useful. I would love some feedback on whether or not speaking about hosiery as a person is a good idea.

Thanks For The Ad Revenue

Last month, I made $13.41. I never made $10 or more. So, that means that I reached a new milestone. I appreciate the sponsors. I appreciate you, who have clicked on the ads. Thanks!

Tried On The Stylish Fox Hosiery

I woke up late, after about 9 hours of sound sleep, and before I even ate breakfast, I tried on the 2 pairs that I ordered from The Stylish Fox. I am very excited to report about it. I will probably start typing up my first impressions today.

I was going to break up the review into several parts, and then post a new part of the review each week, but I think that it might be nice to post them all in the same week; just over several days.

Readers, how do you prefer to read this? The Stylish Fox, how do you prefer that I post this?"

Got 2 Phone Numbers From Hosiery Customers

Yesterday, I worked at the cash register most of the time, and I chatted up the ladies, as they brought in their diaphanous treasures. A couple them really seemed like eager enthusiasts.

1 lady bought every size of a certain colour. I quickly warned her of her mistake. She just smiled and said that she fit into all of the sizes. I was shocked. I had a lot of respect for her. I think that it takes openness and enthusiasm to try on all sizes. It takes boldness to admit to wearing a plus-size, when she does not need it. I decided to ask her for her phone number, so that I could tell her when we would be in stock again.

I cannot remember what happened with this other lady, but I got her number as well.

I gave my phone number to both of them.

I am just amazed at how much women are bulking up on hosiery.

Vanity Fair and Jessica

When I met up with the hosiery rep, I asked so many questions. She mentioned that Vanity Fair was the store brand for Eaton's. When Sears bought out Eaton's, Sears ended up moving the higher quality styles from Vanity Fair to Jessica, and the lower quality styles from Jessica to Vanity Fair.

1 of the best questions was about Vanity Fair support hosiery and Energizer support hosiery. She told me that they were very similar.

So, the lesson for today, is that your favourite Vanity Fair styles might now be available in Jessica's line. Feel free to choose Jessica support hosiery as an alternative to Energizer support hosiery.

Used Hosiery: Wig

You would use the hosiery for the cap portion of the wig, and some yarn for hair: How to Make a Wig out of Yarn and Pantyhose. I advise that you save up some scrap yarn, unless you are going for a particular look.

Busy At Work

Sadly, I have not had time to update this blog as much as I would like. In the next couple of weeks, you can expect more product information regarding Vanity Fair and Jessica, maybe a few work stories, definitely an interview from a different hosiery advocate, definitely the interview from Nicole of Shapings, and definitely the Trasparenze hosiery review for The Stylish Fox.

There has been so much happening, that I cannot handle it all very easily. It is all good stuff, though.

Hosiery Advocate's Boutique Updated

The main page, the about-page, the contact page, and other information has been updated.

I also adjusted the stock levels to zero. Originally, the stock was supposed to be from a couple of department stores, but it turns out that hosiery has been so popular, that it has been impossible for companies to stay stocked up.

Yesterday, I contacted a sales rep of a hosiery manufacturer, and ordered a bunch of pairs. I will update the site and announce it here, when stock is ready to go.

Legxicon.com's Official Hours For Chat

Legxicon.com has a customer service chat. They are officially available M-F, 8am-5pm Mountain time. Feel free to try it on the weekend, too. Somebody might be working unusual hours.

Customer Bought 12 Pairs And In Larger Sizes

Today, I managed to encourage a customer to buy Energizers in size C. She was used to buying them in size B. I'm amazed that she got away with it before, because she seems too tall for it, even if she were super skinny. See the company product page for the size chart.

I love my job so much.

Is She Wearing Pantyhose? #41

I found Gal #41 at agencyclick, when I updated my calendar, for my background performing. Look at #41a, #41b, #41c, #41d, and #41e. Do you think that she is wearing hosiery in any of those photos? While I like all of her clothing, I especially love her short black skirt.

Another 1 Or 2 People Borrowed My Book

1 of the copies is on transit to another library, so that means somebody borrowed it. The other copy is either renewed or borrowed by another person. Awesome!

Thoughts On New Hosiery Online Stores

I noticed many new online hosiery stores on Twitter. It kind of made me think. Before reading the remainder of my post, think about what your opinion is.

Got Gal To Buy Many Pairs

At work, a customer was looking for light skin tone sheer hosiery. She could not find any, so she would have left empty handed, if I understand correctly. When I helped her, I manged to find a couple of brands that had her size-colour combination, and she bought about about 10 pairs!

A couple of similar situations happened with a couple of other customers, but they bought many less.

I love my job!

Energizer Hosiery Available In Opaques

I was at Sears on Monday, and had a few minutes to kill, so I browsed the displays. Energizer opaques must be new. I never heard of them before. I look forward to trying them some day.

Used Hosiery: Bungee Cord Replacements #4

Generally speaking bungee cords are used for things which need to be tied down snugly and securely. However, there are times, when you will need to use some kind of cord that expands and contracts to fit a task, and the cord will not need to pull very hard.

Read the remainder of my post for how to use hosiery instead of bungee cords.

This blog post is the fourth part in a small series about how you can make the best use of your damaged hosiery, when using them instead of bungee cords.

First Day Of Work At Sears In Downtown Vancouver

I had a wonderful time.

I had time after the orientation, so I spent time organizing the racks and tables for the socks and hosiery. I spent a good chunk of my time organizing the 3-packs.

I even learned a technique of making the most of the limited space. For example, you might have 3 colours, with only 2 spaces. The trick is to alternate the colours consistently, instead of randomly stuffing them in, so that people can easily find them by looking through the packages. I hope that that makes sense.

I even got to help a customer find a pair of knee highs. Because we could not find what she wanted, she chose the next best pair.

I look forward to tomorrow. I will be completely free to do what I want, since I have not be trained. I will focus on organizing the hosiery stockroom, if it needs any organizing. I will also try to replenish stock.

I look forward to 8 hours of organizing hosiery. I love it.

Hosiery, Turtlenecks, T-shirts, & Shorts

Yesterday, I tried to sell you on the benefits of wearing turtlenecks. Today, I will share some tips on buying and some suggestions on how to match them with your t-shirts and shorts. Read the remainder of my post for more info.

I Got The Hosiery Job For Sure

Around noon, the department manager from Sears called me to say that I should come in to fill in the forms and officially accept the job. I will stay for training, and begin working this Saturday.

I am so excited to work in hosiery sales.

My Book Was Checked Out 4-5 Times Each

I asked my city's library how often my hosiery book was checked out. It turns out that each was checked out 4-5 times! That's 4-5 times more than I expected!

Yeehah!!!

Why We Should Wear Turtlenecks

The other day, I came to the conclusion that turtlenecks and hosiery can create a sporty look, and felt that you could benefit from them. Therefore, I created a 2 part series of blog posts about turtlenecks. Read the remainder of my post for some reasons for adding turtlenecks to your wardrobe.

Sears Has Not Officially Hired Me

It turns out that they called me all that way just to have me fill in 1 form for a background check. I will probably find out tomorrow, and hopefully be brought in for Wednesday morning's training, and then work my first shift on Saturday.

I will keep you posted.

The Stylish Fox Hosiery Arrived Today

I am so excited. I will start planning how to review them. I think that I want to write a few reviews, over a few days.

Sears Hosiery Manager Is A Guy

In the earlier blog entry, I mentioned, This is probably the first time in decades, that a guy has been interviewed for this type of job.. I should mention that the manager is a guy. I do not know if he interviewed for the job as I did, or if he was assigned the job after working in another department. Maybe he is leading the way, and not me.

I will keep you posted.

Did Sears Really Offer Me The Job?

After getting a good sleep, I am beginning to wonder if they really are offering me the job. I was specifically told to go in at 2p, today, and bring ID to fill in forms. I am certain that they do not need ID when just filling in an application. I guess that we will know for sure, tomorrow.

Applied For Second Hosiery Job

On early Sunday Morning, I applied for another hosiery job, which requires working with packaging and images. It will involve a lot more than that, though. They also want somebody to network with bloggers.

Sears Offered Me The Hosiery Job!

About 20 minutes ago, I got a call on my cell phone. I accepted. I was supposed to go for a second interview, but they just hired me.

Hosiery Advocate will be a hosiery sales man, tomorrow, at 2p, in Downtown Vancouver! 3 cheers for Hosiery Advocate!!!

Sears Offers 50% Off Hosiery

I saw the local flier say that the sale goes on until Oct. 2. You need to buy 5 pairs of hosiery or more. It is a good time to stock up on your favourites and try some new pairs too.

Hosiery In Wikimedia: Pink Outfit To Support Breast Cancer Research

Supporting breast cancer research (2907275545)

She wrote that she is wearing Lindex leggings. I thought that she was not using the term properly, and technically, she is not, but it turns out that they really are sold as leggings.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is October. Women, definitely wear pink hosiery and short skirts or shorts to make hosiery more prominent, please! Guys, it is a bit of a risk, but please consider wearing pink opaque tights and black shorts in October, also. We could do it to raise awareness that even men can get breast cancer, and it would be all absolutely true.
