It still allow in the UK to wear anything - no illegal, maybe depend on country, I was wear tights and denim mini skirt that seem to be allow in public Ive wearing many time as cops passing me without stop or ask anything
~ Doug ~
In the US it's illegal to be dressed indecently, but not illegal to crossdress. Also, where would you draw the line? Some people might claim that all the boys wearing girls skinny jeans are crossdressing.
~ Rod ~
is it legal to crossdress when outside as a female
~ Andy M ~
epilators have been suggested. I've just bought a Braun and done my first epilate session. So far so good, but still a long way from hair free legs (which are essential for any tights wearing!!!)
~ Adrian ~
With winter on the way I shall be cutting down on heating bills by wearing opaque tights with a wool kilt.
~ 2craze2 ~
@badleg: Try Elbeo Sheer Magic or Elbeo Caresse. Size XL is available. They really do help...
~ 2craze2 ~
Ordered some tights from Emilio Cavallini, they're great! Good stretch, warm, opaque. Good replacement for my regular sock-wearing.

Agony Aunt (with emphasis on Agony)

posted Sunday, 26 November 2006

Geradenby Geraden

 

One of the bits I read in the Sunday papers is in the Sunday Times Style Magazine. There, apart from the occasional nice fashion shot (with hosiery if you are lucky) the so-called Mrs Mills answers a few agony-aunt type of questions each week in her rather unhelpful but amusing way.

Amusing, unless you really do have the kind of problem she is addressing. But then, anyone who sends a problem to Mrs Mills should be aware of the kind of response they will get if it is published, so maybe not much harm is done. Nevertheless I do wonder how many of them she actually makes up herself!

I reckoned that the question of male hosiery wearing was sure to be addressed sooner or later, and I have been waiting to see what she would have to say on the subject. Today was the day.

Cross-dressing spouse

My darling husband has recently taken to wearing my tights under his trousers. I first caught a glimpse of the waistband and asked him why. He said it was because of the cold, but he later admitted he likes the feel. I don't want to encourage him, as it is expensive - he ladders lots and I do not want him to start on my underwear. What should I do to finish his fetish?
EM, by e-mail

Instead of revealing Mrs Mills' response straight away (it was pretty much as I expected), I have an idea for you.

This could be fun! You be the agony aunt! Write a response yourself – it can either be a serious response (such as a real agony aunt would write) or a Mrs Mills' type of response – unhelpful but amusing.

Leave your response as a comment, or if you prefer, send it in by e-mail. Either way, I will choose the best contribution in each category next Sunday (3rd December) when I will reveal what Mrs Mills actually said!

Link to Mrs Mills' actual reply.

I was fuming after I read this article (and the so-called 'agony aunt's' reply). This is just the kind of ignorance gone to seed that got innocent 'heretics' and martyrs burned at the stake in medieval times! Thankfully, at least the latter is now no longer 'PC' (it doesn't conform to HSE guidelines!) but some serious damage could be done to this couple's relationship if they don't 'wise up' a little! And the reply is is about as helpful as a bullet through the temple! Words fail me! I may yet e-mail this idiot of an 'agony aunt' to set her straight - if I thought for a moment it was a genuine attempt to help and not just a cynical matter of selling copy!

Hi Bozeman

I did tell you that this was not a serious agony column!

Of course it is an attempt to sell copy, as is everything else in the Press, ultimately. And yes, Mrs Mills is cynical in her brand of humour. She panders to all the usual myths and prejudices. But in doing so, she unintentionally reveals those myths and prejudices for what they are. She is not meant to be taken seriously, and her replies are the transparently bad advice which a totally ignorant but well meaning person might give. They contain within themselves the seeds of their own destruction, because they challenge the reader to think, "If this is not the answer, what is?"

Of course e-mailing her will do no good – she would turn any reply against the author: that is her stock in trade. So I get less worked up than you do. At least she has given a little publicity to the idea of men's fashion choice.

Having said that – how about (instead) writing a reply to 'EM' for this column? – and that goes for all my readers.

Dear EM, I suggest you take a long weekend holiday. Go to a nice romantic hotel far away from your daily life. After a nice long soak in a hot tub together take a razor with a fresh blade and shave his legs. Buy some Wolfords or other nice tights and have him try them on. Show him the correct way to wear his tights. Then the two of you have a randy wild time between the sheets! Throw away all his plain white underwear and tell him he can only wear tights from now on.

Dear Cross dressing spouse. I can understand this could be a confusing and personally frightning thing to discover about your husband but i can't help but feel a bit sorry for males. As females we get alot of luxurys and not just in the clothing department. For instance lovely smelling bath salts and moisturizes and lovely sweet drinks that have very feminine names. Now males can use these things but it is frowned apon. So maybe we should cut males some slack and let them experience a luxury every now and then
