Tescos and boots are now selling veet wax strips for men. surely that means that thing have shifted towards legwear for me? now is the time to buy tights for men and make a shift in the market. particularly in these uncertain times for retailers.

To iwanttights: that's a difficult question. Some parents are accepting and some are not. Maybe try wearing tights for sports or a costume (where you have an excuse) and see how they react.

I have several pairs of the Ames-Walker "Leotards" that are specifically made for men. I am 6'4" 225# and they fit well.Texture is a little rough though

Are any of the made-for-men hose a true medical compression, like 20-30mmHg? With varicose veins I am supposed to wear them but what I have tried from med manuf. are very expensive and too short.

Ten Tights Trivia

From Geraden's Column.

One of the things that I am really sorry about is the loss of the tights-excite.com site, which closed at the beginning of August. There was lots of good stuff there: Forum, chat room, the Mike and Olga column, and of course the galleries - especially the lovely pictures of tights-girl Sal. Some of it is available on the new Tights Excite Yahoo Group, but it is not quite the same.

Some things could not be carried across - for example the Chat, the Forum, and Geraden's Column. When the unexpected news of the closure of tights-excite broke, I had pretty well finished issue 2 of Geraden's Column. Since it is not possible for my column to continue in its original format, I will publish the material here.

My second 'Ten Tights Trivia' will appear in due course, but meanwhile, here - for those of you who missed them - are the first ten.

See how many of these you can get right! There are no prizes, I am afraid!
