Pan Am Girdle and Stockings Photos (Screenshots)

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 00:14:00 +0000

I finally caught the first episode of Pan Am on Hulu after being very interested in how realistic the show would be around the Pan Am stockings and girdle wardrobe requirements of the time. Obviously, being somewhat (a teeny-bit...) obsessed with stockings, I would have loved to see lots of scenes focused around the lingerie, but I have to admit that for a mainstream show, they made sure to mention those girdles fairly often and in multiple scenes.

The scene above with Kelli Garner in a Rago garter girdle, getting dressed for her sister's wedding is the only scene in episode one of Pan Am that actually shows you any of the cast in lingerie or with stocking tops, but my bet is that the producers will probably sneak in a scene or two like this in each episode. I'll be staying tuned and will update you guys on any spectacular stockings sightings.

For those of you have seen more than one show, please let us know in the comments if there's anything good to look forward to in upcoming episodes!

The Duchess of Cambridge Rocks the Tights and Pantyhose

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 21:44:00 +0000

Obviously, unlike many around the Internet, I approve highly of the level of polish hosiery adds to the Duchess of Cambridge's legs. I applaud her decision to wear nylons or tights whenever her legs are exposed. The pics above show just a few of my favorite Kate looks, and I don't think anyone could say she looks old-fashioned in any of them.

Let's hope this is the start of more nylons on more legs around the world.

Austra - Beat and The Pulse Video

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 08:56:00 +0000

Isn't it lovely when two things you love align? The Beat and the Pulse by Austra is currently one of my favorite songs, so I thought I'd hunt down the video.

Guess what? It's loaded with lingerie and hosiery of all types! It was such a lovely surprise, that I had to bring it here to share with all of you. I hope you enjoy both the music and the beautiful visuals.

Pan Am - Stewardesses, Stockings and GIRDLES

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Wed, 18 May 2011 07:46:00 +0000

The new TV show, Pan Am, set to premiere on ABC this fall and all about the style and excitement of air travel in the 1960's, will be sure to feature loads of period-perfect lingerie and stockings. I'm not even sure how many times they say the word, girdle, in this Pan Am preview video. Nylon-lovers, get ready for take off!

Pam Am stars Christian Ricci as a Pan Am stewardess and offers a cast of yummy eye candy, including some piloty types for those who enjoy men in uniforms. I'm sure the show will be stellar, because it's driven by a team associated with The West Wing and ER, but I'm honestly not going to be watching it for the plot. That would be a bit like reading Playboy for the articles.

Edited to add: I've received quite a few emails from people asking where they can find girdles and I'm sure the interest is going to increase when the show starts airing on September 25th. I've always bought my girdles from Stockings HQ who deliver stockings and lingerie world-wide. Look for any of the Rago open bottom girdles if you want an authentic 1960's look.

6 Sexy Photos of Purple Stockings and Lingerie

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Mon, 09 May 2011 20:29:00 +0000

I recently left a gorgeous pair of purple, floral fishnet tights in my hosiery drawer for over a year because I didn't have anything to match. Eventually, I thought, "Screw matching," and just wore them with a black dress. I got so many compliments that day and it inspired me to collect some beautiful photos of purple hosiery and lingerie to share with all of you.

Waiting For a Star to Fall Remix Video

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Sun, 08 May 2011 04:36:00 +0000

The other day, my best friend, E, and I were looking for an mp3 of "Waiting for a Star to Fall," by Boy Meets Girl, which we eventually found, but I had no idea the song had ever been remixed. I was thrilled tonight to run into this video on Tumblr for the remix, and, because it's chock full of fetishy stewardesses in white nylons, I get to share it with all of you, too.

Panties Over the Garter Belt FTW!

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Fri, 06 May 2011 23:09:00 +0000

We've discussed this issue here before, but it always makes me happy to share a photo of garters worn under panties. The majority of photos of models in stockings show the straps of her garter belt going over the top of the panties. Anyone who has worn stockings in real life, learns the first time one would like to remove the undies (for a variety of reasons) but leave one's stockings on, that wearing a garter belt UNDER the knickers is the only way not to have to spend an annoying, and potentially moment-killing, amount of time undoing and redoing garter clasps.

So, consider this very sexy, yet sensible stockings photo as evidence that being practical can still be very hot.

Stocking Tease - The Best Reason to Wear Nylon Stockings

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 07:18:00 +0000

Why Stocking Tease?

Stocking tease is an art the biggest names in stockings have perfected: Tina Grant, Dita Von Teese, Bettie Page. Why do so many of us who love nylons think it's sexier not to give everything away? There's some quality about nylon that lends itself to teasing. Maybe the sheerness, maybe that nylon stockings and pantyhose are reminders of a more demure time when most women dressed in a way that was clearly feminine. In those days, a pair of beautiful legs wrapped in nylons was a stocking tease, in and of itself, because it was often the only visible piece of a woman's sexuality. I'm sure many a man (and woman) was driven crazy following a back seam from the base of a heel, up the back of a leg to the logical conclusion. A good stocking tease is about creating anticipation and longing.

Nylon Stockings are Sensual

In the two years I've been blogging, I've interacted with thousands of other people with a nylon fetish and, although many prefer things to be explicit, I'd say that overwhelmingly people prefer stocking tease over anything else. I have some theories about this. I believe nylon fetishists, like many material fetishists, are sensualists. We're in love with the way nylon stockings feel under our fingers, the way they catch the light, the way they shine against skin. Stocking tease appeals to us, because we love the silken swish of stockinged legs brushing together, the feel of a finger lightly run beneath a garter strap. Some love inhaling the scent or nibbling on nyloned toes. Nylon is something that can be experienced with all our senses. No wonder we want to be teased. We want to savor the thing we love.

Engaging all my senses...

Stocking Tease, Just for Women?

A great stocking tease artist allows you to revel in all the sensory pleasures of nylon stockings. She strokes her legs together and runs her fingers along her thighs. She displays the surface of her nylon stockings to the light and admires the shine. She adjusts the tops of her stockings, taking care to pretend she doesn't know you're watching. As a rampant stocking tease myself, one of the parts that's the most fun for me is pretending that nothing out of the ordinary is going on.

Men can also be wonderful at the stocking tease in their own way. I love to watch my own legs being gently kissed in nylons. That anticipatory moment as I first feel his warm breath through the nylon stockings, followed by the soft pressure of a kiss always makes me shiver.

Why do nylon lovers love to tease and be teased? Why is the stocking tease so sexy? Why? It's like the foreplay before the foreplay, the appetizer before a great meal, a moment to slow down and let desire build while we dream of the moment fingers first meet nylon.

I'd love to hear from you in the comments. Who are some of your favorite teases?

Tina Grant in our First Clippette Ad

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 19:32:00 +0000

Tina Grant is the star of our first Clippette ad that my dear, talented friend, Seleena K was sweet enough to make for Clippette and I'm excited to share it with you here. It serves as a good reminder for me to point out that I collect my favorite nylon videos over there, too. I'd love to meet you if you're a fellow YouTuber.

Seleena K is a beautiful and amazingly sexy t girl with a passion for stockings and a wardrobe I'd kill for. She has over 25 creative photosets featuring, nylon, latex, high heels and all sorts of wonderful things posted at Clippette. I think you'll enjoy her imaginative pics and her sense of whimsy. You'll love Seleena and you should check her out here.

Sock Box - Romantic Stockings

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 00:01:00 +0000

Treacle of The Lingerie Addict always has her eye out for new designers and hit nylon paydirt with her discovery of Sock Box, a small Latvian company who creates some of the most highly imaginative and romantic legwear I've seen in a long time.

In the Sock Box's About Us, they say "...there is a Diva in every woman. Just tiny reminders are needed for us to reveal our elegance, sensuality and strength." Those of us that love the sensation of wearing stockings and the feeling of femininity they provide can understand so completely the sentiment expressed there.

You can buy Sock Box hosiery directly from them on Etsy and I highly encourage my readers to check out their collection. Much of it is unlike anything else on the market, while still being highly wearable and incredibly beautiful. If you want your legs to stop people in their tracks, this is the brand to buy.

Tina Grant is Back!

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 04:08:00 +0000

Any serious fan of beautiful women in stockings and lingerie will be thrilled to hear that the beautiful Tina Grant, who retired two years ago, has decided to return to nylon modeling.

I am especially thrilled because she has chosen to make her return on a new website I co-founded and helped create. It's called Clippette and it's the easiest way for people selling their own erotic video clips or photos to connect with people who would like to buy them. If you like sexy stuff (and we have piles of stockings and pantyhose content) or you have sexy photos or video of your own you want to sell, please come by and say hiya.

Oh, and my Stocking Vixen store is here, including a little video of me in vintage Hanes stockings.

Karen Gillan Too Sexy?

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 20:39:00 +0000

Some of my Stocking Vixen readers have let me know they miss my blogging. I'm not sure if people realize that I am blogging over at My Backseam, so wanted to be sure to make that clear. I posted today about the kerfuffle over actress Karen Gillian being too sexy for Dr. Who.

Karen Gillan Too Sexy?

Happy Mother's Day

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Sun, 09 May 2010 21:43:00 +0000

Happy Mother's Day to all my readers who celebrate it in May. The photo above is of Liv Tyler, one of my favorite nylon-wearing beauties, with her mom as a little girl, then again as the beautiful woman she grew up to be.

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday.

Vintage Nylons and a Slip

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 09:43:00 +0000

This is my friend Karyn (nsfw) in a beautiful slip and some vintage Elsa Schiaparelli nylon stockings. I think this may be one of my most favorite nylon photos I've seen in a long while. It's so feminine and soft, but the rough tug of the garters on her stocking tops is just so sexy in tandem with the softness of everything else.

My Favorite Shoes

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 06:18:00 +0000

Anyone who has read my blog for any length of time knows my favorite pair of shoes are my high-heeled red Mary Janes. I have to admit I've bought a few pairs since then that compete, but I still love them so much. One thing that has been really fun about building My Backseam, is that I got to buy a new DSLR camera and have been having lots of fun taking good photos of my hosiery and shoes and stuff.

A set of 20 high-resolution photos of me in my mary janes (and out of them) and a pair of white fencenets is available at Clippette. Click here to check them out. For those of you that don't have time to wander over to the new site, I'm posting a few I hope you'll enjoy.

Come and See Me at My Backseam

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:00:00 +0000

We just couldn’t wait any longer! Come play with me and Nick and all of our friends at My Backseam.

This is a beta version of the community portion of Backseam and not the full Backseam website, which launches later this spring, but we think it’s a really cool, fun place for nylon lovers to hang out and meet fun, like-minded people, so we're making it available now.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Thanks for Being Patient

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:31:00 +0000

Work's continuing on the new site and we're getting very excited about how things are coming together. I have been unfortunately lax about blogging here, so am sharing a few recent photos to help hold down the fort. Thanks so much for being patient.

Ask Me Anything

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:55:00 +0000

Stockings Photo and Happy Holidays

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 23:32:00 +0000

While I'm rushing about doing some holiday preparations, I wanted to be sure to do two things. The first is to encourage you to enter the very cool Playful Promises lingerie giveaway that my friend, Treacle, is doing on her newly renamed blog. The giveaway runs through the 31st and you can enter as often as you like, so hop over to win some supa-pretty lingerie.

The second is to wish all of you a very happy holiday season and wonderful new year. My present to you is a new photo that I had taken a couple of weekends ago as part of a set for the new nylon website, which will be launching very soon. I'm very excited we'll soon all be able to share what's been under wraps and have lots of fun together. You may have wanted a tie, but they were out of them.

This has been a great year for me and the people I've met writing this blog have been a huge part of that. Whether you have become my friend, or you just read what I write, I'm grateful for the time and support you give to me and to nylon.

Happy Hols!

Shoe Lust

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:01:00 +0000

Human to shoe marriage is still illegal in this country and I say that's WRONG! (Evidence of my desired partner, as photographed by Craig McDean, above).

Pantyhose for men

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:10:00 +0000

One of the most vocal advocates for fashion equality when it comes to hosiery, Eugene T.S. Wong, aka Hosiery Advocate has a new photo set on Flickr. He's looking quite dapper in a green suit with hosiery. His suit has shorts instead of pants which shows his opaque tights off nicely. I love it that Eugene is out there carrying the flag for men who want to wear hose. It takes guts to be public about wanting to do anything outside the social norms and when it becomes more socially acceptable for men to wear whatever they like on their legs, we will have men like Eugene to thank for it.

Looking good, Eugene!

If you're interested in seeing more masculine images of men wearing pantyhose (also known as mantyhose), check out the rest of Eugene's photo stream, or head over to the fabulous Pantyhose for Men site at the e-MAN-cipate project. Not only can you check out some great shots of mega-hot guys in tights, but if you have a web site or social media profile, you can pick up tools to help promote the mantyhose cause.

If you're a guy interested in getting his own pair of pantyhose designed specifically for the male anatomy, head over to the Activskin website, where you can find men's pantyhose, tights, stockings and socks that are thin enough to wear under your everyday clothing. Also, be sure to check out the great story of Activskin marketing director, Steve Newman's experience wearing hosiery (including the health benefits) and how he came to work in the field on his blog, The Nylon Gene.

If anyone knows of other resources for men interested in learning more about wearing hosiery or wants to share his personal experiences wearing mantyhose, I'd love to hear more in the comments area.

Up with fashion equality!

Whip It

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:52:00 +0000

I love roller derby fashion and I also happen to enjoy Drew Barrymore quite a bit. I'm rooting for her directorial
debut, Whip It, to be a big success, so thought I'd do my part to promote a film that looks good in its own right,
but also features terrific leg looks and encourages young women to be true to themselves.

Sneak Peek

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:22:00 +0000

Edited to add that My Backseam is now live and filled with thousands of sexy stockings and pantyhose photos. We have a group dedicated to foot-lovers, too!
----------------------------------------------

Thanks to everyone who dropped me a note checking in on me last week. Between a few family obligations and work picking up in earnest on Backseam, my new nylon project, it was impossible for my brain to string words together coherently enough to post on SV the last seven or eight days. Thanks for caring and thanks for being patient.

I'm working (more than) full-time now on creating Backseam - something I believe most people who read this blog will love and will hopefully find entertaining as well as incredibly useful and fun. I'm sorry to still be somewhat mysterious; my partner-in-crime, Nick Danger, has threatened to take away all my knee boots if I say too much.

We are, however, happy to give you all a sneak peek at the kinds of visuals that will inform Backseam, by sharing a Tumblr site we've built to blog images we feel capture the vibe of what Backseam, our new venture, will be all about.

Please note: this is not a preview of Backseam – we’re not ready to share that with you yet. With this Tumblr, we just wanted to give you a little taste of the kinds of visuals you’ll see on Backseam when it’s launched in early 2010.

And be warned: the circumspect Stocking Vixen has snapped her garters, so to speak, and this preview is absolutely not safe for work. If you are offended by visible lady parts, it's best not to click that link.

And some of the images we loved were so adult that we created a second blog, Backseam Extreme, for the really grown-up ones and I won't link to it here, but there's an easy-to-find-link on the Backseam Tumblr. The warning in the previous paragraph applies here in spades.

I've recognized in the last week that if I try to balance blogging regularly here with finishing Backseam that I am not going to do either thing well, so Stocking Vixen will have to be on semi-hiatus for the near future. Nick and I will be posting images and commentary over at the new Tumblrs as well as hammering away at building this new fun place for all of us and I'll still pop in at Twitter and on Facebook, so I'll be around. I'll miss being able to play here, but I truly believe you'll think it's worth it when Backseam is up and running.

I have proven completely unable to take a complete hiatus from Stocking Vixen in the past, so don't be surprised to see me drop in from time to time, but for the next couple of months it will be the exception to see posts here rather than the norm.

See you soon!

There He Is...

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:55:00 +0000

Those of you who miss the postings of the illustrious Nick Danger from Fool for Your Stockings may keep up with his doings at his photoblog, entitled appropriately enough, Fool for Your Stockings. Be forewarned that Mr. Danger is enjoying being off his leash, as the photos above probably hint, and it's not quite as SFW as the original Fool.

Where to Buy a Garter Belt

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa Norman) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 19:22:00 +0000

One of my lovely readers asked on my last post if I knew where to buy the garter belt /waspie that Fernanda Tavares is wearing in the photo. I know that it's made by the French company Lejaby and that it's from their Elixir line, but unfortunately, it comes from the Fall/Winter 2007 line. Here's a photo of it in red and black (and it did also come in white). I'm coming up short in my efforts to find anyone still selling it online, but know I have some super-sleuths who read this blog who may be able to out-Sherlock me. If any of you know of somewhere where this belt can still be purchased, I'd be grateful to hear about it in the comments so we can pass the information along.

In the meantime, Faire Frou Frou has some beautiful out-of-the-ordinary garter belts, including the two above that are particularly beautiful. The Elle MacPherson one with polka dots on the right is similar to the Lejaby and is incredibly affordable at $55.

Another great place for you to buy beautiful garter belts or waspies (or any lingerie, actually) is Cazar, who carry many, many luxury lingerie brands and ship across Europe and the U.S. It's worth perusing the Cazar website just to see the high-resolution photos of hot chicks in their undies. Of course, there are many other retailers who carry gorgeous stuff, but those are two particular favorites of mine for super-special items.

Edited to Add: I really was remiss in not mentioning the fabulous Joanna's Wardrobe earlier as a place to get unique ways to hold up your stockings, especially is she is one of the exclusive retailers where you can buy Stockings and Romance lingerie, which I think is very cool stuff. I believe a lot of it is still sewn by hand.

Now that I'm mentioning things I should have earlier, in latex, no one makes more beautiful lingerie than Atsuko Kudo Couture and latex stockings look most awesome with a latex belt or underthingy attached.

Sigh, now I have a terrible urge to go shopping. How about you? Where do you like to shop for your really special lingerie, the things you keep wrapped in tissue until it's time to wear them? I look forward to hearing because I always learn new things from all of you.
