Selections were seemingly unlimited. Now things are very sparse. With pantyhose virtually gone (but not forgotten), I am afraid the next disappearing trend will be make-up. It's in the same boat as pantyhose. With fewer women wearing make-up there becomes no need to carry a purse. Gals carry a phone and keys in their jeans pocket or thigh pocket in leggings.<br />I know, I know, the world is dynamic and change is inevitable. Eventually us old crossdressers will be walking museum pieces.<br />Angel AmoreThe Traveling Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628670188314540647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237446155472519339.post-12751127629231861252022-02-09T11:47:44.753-05:002022-02-09T11:47:44.753-05:00Rhonda, I totally agree that seasonal and regional...Rhonda, I totally agree that seasonal and regional makes a big deal.

One of the ladies had come from her "bank" job and was in full banker look; pantyhose / pumps included. rhonda's escapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333998589746919994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237446155472519339.post-12061050904881966992022-02-08T23:55:26.236-05:002022-02-08T23:55:26.236-05:00I wouldn't go that far.

But Gen-X & Boomers cis women still have their fair share of wearing hose depending on situations from my experiences. I am also Gen-X.Christina Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402035040306619685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237446155472519339.post-58671955651286027762022-02-08T15:56:47.792-05:002022-02-08T15:56:47.792-05:00Sadly(as you said) the proverbial nail has been hi...Sadly(as you said) the proverbial nail has been hit squarely. rhonda's escapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333998589746919994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237446155472519339.post-57579495247499590912022-02-08T15:20:52.531-05:002022-02-08T15:20:52.531-05:00Sadly, when you see a person in pantyhose or stock...Sadly, when you see a person in pantyhose or stockings, it is usually a crossdresser or one of the church ladies on a Sunday. Real gals don't wear them, the younger ones don't even own them. It was one of the tactile treats that got me into the glorious sport of crossdressing in the first place.<br />But alas, that is not the end of the rant. When you see a person in a dress or skirt, people's microscopes come out to see if the person is perhaps a "man in a dress". The ath-leisure look is fine for younger or in shape women but for crossdressers to emulate the look ?------------Blah I say.<br /><br />Angel AmoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237446155472519339.post-7662518490218133772022-02-08T12:58:58.962-05:002022-02-08T12:58:58.962-05:00Those Hanes Silk Reflection thigh highs are my go-...Those Hanes Silk Reflection thigh highs are my go-to. I always wear thigh highs with my skirts. There is a different version of the one you pictured that has more lace and thus more sticky stuff and the additional lace acts as additional elastic. This makes a big difference. I find these versions hold up longer and you get better value. You should check them out.<br /><br />I would like to get a garter belt into my wardrobe so thanks for pointing that out, I will check it out.Christina Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402035040306619685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237446155472519339.post-34320515984696657352022-02-08T11:37:34.330-05:002022-02-08T11:37:34.330-05:00I've had that too when the top of one of a fav...I've had that too when the top of one of a favourite pair of charcoal opaque hold ups failed on me. Luckily I had cut the tops from a previous pair of holdups which were beyond saving, and sewed a new grippy top into the old band. <br />(Those old hold-up bands, by the way, are useful as head bands to stop a wig from slipping.)SusieJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038616807347585413noreply@blogger.com
