~ 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.

@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.

Taxi, Sir?

posted Wednesday, 27 December 2006
Geradenby Geraden

 

One of the risks that you run when you wear tights and shorts around the house is that the doorbell will ring, and that you are the one who gets to answer it. Today I was wearing black opaques (nothing special, just Tesco's best multipacks, £3.50 for 3, reduced to £1.50). I was also wearing dark blue shorts and a t-shirt, with trainers.

I had just finished laying the fire for today (we have an open fire in the lounge at Christmas) and had fortunately washed my hands afterwards, when the doorbell rang. Until recently I would have let someone else answer it, or raced upstairs to pull off my shorts and pull on a pair of long trousers. I thought however that the doorbell might have been rung by my married daughter paying a visit. She is used to seeing me in tights and has never commented on it.

And even if it had been someone else, what difference would it make? I don't get too bothered about people seeing me in tights these days - after all it is only clothing. (Ok,  rather nice clothing, and it has lots of benefits as well as making you feel good and relaxed, but it is clothing still!)

So when the door bell rang, I answered it in blue shorts and black opaque tights. A youngish man was standing back from the door as I opened it. 'Taxi sir?' he asked. Sure enough, there was a taxi (or rather a private hire car) parked outside the house. We recently went through a spate of taxis ordered by our neighbours arriving at our door by mistake. I replied that we had not ordered a taxi and as I did so, I saw that the driver's eyes travelled downwards to my legs and widened fractionally. I was about to direct him next door, but he then asked me if I knew where Oak Tree House was. I told him where I thought it was. It seems someone had given him my house number as Oak Tree House (or maybe that was just a ploy so he could ring my bell and ask for directions). He apologised and got back into his car.

Anyway he said nothing about what I was wearing, and the whole encounter was very much a non-event. As I have said before - just act naturally and confidently in any situation, and there will be no problem. Act like there is a problem, and most likely there will be one.

That actually happened to me recently too. Argos was due to make a delivery to our flat, but they came earlier than expected. I was going to get back into my jeans a bit later in lieu of their arrival, but they caught me off-guard. I only had time to throw a bathrobe on after I buzzed them in. The robe went down to my knees and I only had slippers on with no socks. So, quite obvious that I was wearing off-black semi-sheers.

The deliverymen didn't say a word. I couldn't even tell if they noticed. If they did, they didn't give anything away. Hell, they may be in tights themselves, considering they deliver in the cold weather and tights keep the legs going longer! You never know ...!

Cedric - thanks for the comment.

There is a sequel to this story. I ordered a DVD player online a few days ago, and delivery was scheduled for today.

I got up and dressed in dark blue: shorts, polo necked shirt, Silkies opaque tights. As I was having breakfast I heard the doorbell. I answered it, and there was a delivery man with a large box for me to sign for. He handed me a pen and the consignment sheet and I signed it. He said thank you and went on his way.

I don't think he even noticed what I was wearing. Either that or he had probably seen it all before – he was a middle aged man who might have been doing this for years.

Mind you, if I had been doing his job I would certainly have been wearing tights, for the warmth and the support!

When I was younger I would would only wear tignts under pants. Then one day I went to the gym to work out but had forgot to bring a jock to wear with my shorts. Not wanting to miss the work out I slipped off my pants and put on my shorts. The tights were light tan colour so didn't show to much. I did get some stares while I worked out from both men and women, but after awhile I did not pay any attention to who was looking. I must say it was kind of exciting that very first day. Now I wear tights with shorts all the time. At the gym, at home and when I go for walks.

Hi Dave

Thanks for the comment, and a great experience.

As they say on LAUF, 'the demons are all in our own heads'.
