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.

@badleg: Try Elbeo Sheer Magic or Elbeo Caresse. Size XL is available. They really do help...

Ordered some tights from Emilio Cavallini, they're great! Good stretch, warm, opaque. Good replacement for my regular sock-wearing.

Nylon gene in Devon?

posted Thursday, 30 August 2007

Geradenby Geraden

 

The following is taken from an article by Alex Cameron dated 29.08.2007, which appeared in the Mid Devon Star. The subject is the recent Plymtree Country Fayre on the August Bank Holiday Monday this year. The speaker is Tina Gibbins, an organiser of the event. 

"We were not sure if we would get any entries for the 'Men in Tights' competition but we had so many volunteers that we ran out of green pairs of tights. The men were awarded cans of beer for taking part but some of them said they would have preferred to keep the tights."

Great idea, Tina, to have a 'Men in Tights' competition! And it seems that some of the men in Devon have the nylon gene! Though Robin Hood notwithstanding, green is not a very flattering colour to wear.

I wonder if the popularity of tights among Devon men could have anything to do with the fact that I wore opaques black or dark brown tights with shorts when I was on holiday in Devon in April and May this year? Surely not! And anyway, I went nowhere near Plymtree!

Well , this is all great news for the cause, thank you for sharing this with us.

I do feel that just by virtue of the fact that the issue is being discussed and this case broadcast in such a way (Media), that progress is being made. I further feel that the more discussion there is about this topic, irrespective of the positive or sceptical view being portrayed, it surely has to lead to a weakening of the high walls that society has built around it, and as such leading us down the path to acceptance by the ignorant by eventually breaking the walls down.

Fantastic, and as always Geraden, keep up the great job that you are doing here.

Oy! I have some fabulous olive green opaque tights - velvety and very comfortable. They look great (Aristoc), especially with a matching tshirt (not matching shorts etc - one can have too much green/olive).

I think men's hosiery manufacturers are missing a good bet on olive, at least for tights, if not sheer legwear. It goes well with khakis and browns, and is a more masculine color.

Thank you all for your comments.

I agree that olive is a masculine colour. The trouble with green in general is that it is the opposite colour to red – which is the predominant hue in pink skin. Pink leg colour showing through green tights can produce an effect that in my opinion is not very flattering.

Darker skinned men may be able to get away with wearing green tights, but my very fair (red-head) skin just seems to look wrong.

Ray, if your olive green tights are velvet they may be opaque enough not to show too much leg colour.
