Me in tights - III

by Pantyhose

When I reached 15 years old, my sister was 12 and she wanted again to go to a ballet class. My father didn't want her to take that course, so she joined a majorette squad (ancestors of modern cheerleaders, with baton and military music). For the first time, my sister was required to wear sheer tights during her shows. She never had worn any before taking this class. Until then, my mother had been the only source of tights, now my sister became the second one. Much, much later, when she knew about my tights liking, she confessed that at the time, she never noticed one of her pair of tights was missing... My parents made friends with the father of one majorette, who happened to be the founder of the squad. He was also the man who bought the tights for the whole squad from a wholesaler. Imagine! Think about an average of 5 spare pairs of tights per majorette, and 20 majorettes in the squad... An order of 100 pairs of tights! Wow! The funny aspect of the story is that he didn't know anything about tights. Each time he needed an advice before ordering some, he asked his daughter.

My aunts, grand-mothers, cousins... were my third-and-subsequent sources of tights. I borrowed some every time I could. One day I found a pair of green ballet tights having belonged to one of my sister's friends. They were very tall and the belt reached my armpits. One day I stole tights in a supermarket. I didn't get caught. Another day, I stole tights drying on a line.

One night, I felt tired and I went to my bedroom. Before I went, my father asked me to go close the gate at the other end of the garden. I told him I would, but I forgot. I put on a pair of tights beneath my pyjamas, went into my bed and tried to asleep. After a while, my father went to my bedroom and told me I had forgotten to go close the gate like he had asked me to do. I told him I was very sorry, and that I would go and do it, but he didn't trust me. He thought I lied. I didn't want to get off my bed in front of him from fear he would see my nyloned feet. I told him not to worry and I promised I would execute his orders. No way, he didn't want to leave my bedroom before I do so. I tried every means to make him go, but it was useless. He was more stubborn than I was. When I understood he would never leave my bedroom, I decided to get off my bed. I discretely put a blanket ahead of my feet so he didn't see them when I put them in my slippers. Fortunately, my tights matched the colour of my skin, so to anybody who doesn't have the nylon gene, which was his case, they were unnoticeable. I went to the end of the garden; I closed the gate and went back to my bedroom. My father left my bedroom and went away like he promised to do. I think he never saw anything.

When I reached 18, my father left home and my mother asked for a divorce. My sister left the majorette squad and enrolled herself in a ballet class. The course ended at 7:30 pm and my mother worried for my sister's security. It wasn't recommended to wander in the district at night. Then I found the solution of going by bus to downtown along with my sister, I left her at the ballet class, and went to a records and books shop in the meantime. When the shop closed, at 7:00pm, I went back by foot to my sister's ballet class and waited until the class finished. I was in tights heaven! All girls there wore tights. At the end of the class, my sister and I went back home by bus. We did that numerous times.

This same year, I decided it was time for me to buy my first personal tights. As I said earlier, I used to look into catalogues to look at the tights. I found a lot of two fishnets. In order not to receive adverts that I didn't want to explain the provenance, I decided the company would not know my real home address. I gave the postal delivery office as the delivery address. After having sent the envelope, I went everyday to the post office and asked if they had a packet with my name. Some 15 days after, I received my order. The post office was not close to my home. I was impatient to reach my home. The fishnets laddered very rapidly one after the other. This order has been followed by many other ones since then.
