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.

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!
