Black Lace, Some Rope and a Corset

by Julia Green.

Seamed Stockings and Lace

This is my favorite stockings photo I've posted on my Tumblr blog for a long, long time, and I keep thinking about it, so I thought I'd share it here, too. So many photos of stockings emphasize the sexiness of them, but this picture captures the soft femininity I often feel wearing nylon. Even though her bottom is bare, there's just such a sweetness to the shot, the pose, the lace peeping from beneath her sweater. It's a very romantic shot and I don't think I'll ever tire of it. Also, I want a lacy underthingy like hers.

Nude Man in High Heels

From Female First Forum

I demand a run on Nordstrom by all male athletes, or any man with hot legs, immediately. High heels make all legs hotter. It's just the law.

This raven-haired beauty shows that sometimes you can't beat the classics. From Lust and Avarice.

Evil Crocs I Rebuke Thee

Someone brought a pair of Crocs into my house. I must cleanse my system by posting photos of beautiful shoes and imagining that these are the only shoes a grown woman would ever considering wearing. It is the only thing that will cure me of my shuddering, though it is an extreme measure.

Time for Boots?

Oh, Christian Louboutin, you can deny it all you like, but I have proof now you're in league with Sergio Rossi to take all my money. Why else would you have designed the ultimate, most-gorgeous-ever black, suede over-the-knee boot, then retailed it for $1,995? People may think you did this to thicken your wallet, but deep inside you know you did it to make the young girls cry with unfulfilled shoe lust.

One thing that's terrific about these boots, in particular, beside the blinding general awesomeness is that they would make a great boot for women with a larger than 14" calf (which seems to be about the average shaft circumference for a knee or OTK boot).

Sigh, this is going to be a long Autumn. I can tell. Bank robbery is a Federal crime, right?

Akira Lane's Pantyhose Exercises

Akira Lane does not play fair as she demonstrates her exercise routine while wearing pantyhose, a cocktail dress and pretty high heels. She doesn't break a sweat, but the viewer very well might. More videos...

Slippery Kittens Burlesque

A troupe of dancers, made up of sexy moms auditions with some classic burlesque for America's Got Talent 2008. You can read more about these lovely ladies and their standing show at the Bar Deluxe in Salt Lake City, on The Slippery Kittens website. Burlesque in Salt Lake City? Who knew?

Thank You Dahlia, May We Have Another?

Wow, where to start with this photo of Dahlia in her Rago Lacette Girdle? Perhaps with the pile of bodies accumulating over there as people pass out in sheer astonishment at her sexiness? Perhaps with the mystery of what may or may not cover her lady parts under her girdle? I love the nod to Bettie Page, but Dahlia keeps the energy her own and her thighs are a lethal weapon.

Today is my dear friend stockingmonster's birthday and I doubt there's anyone on earth who would appreciate this photo more than him, so I dedicate this post to you, SM and wish you the happiest of happy days. If you're on Twitter, please send him birthday greetings @stockingmonster and help me make his day.

Dahlia Delis: Stiletto in Hand

This is a special favorite of the images Dahlia gave me to share. She has lots of great black and whites on her personal site, but I love thinking about the soft tickle of the feathers, compared to the firm authority of the heel in her hand. I enjoy tremendously, wrapping my fingers around my stiletto and pulling my leg back while I'm wearing it. It's a wonderful feeling, like many things, I don't know why, I just know I enjoy it.

More photos from this 24 hour Dahlia extravaganza here.

Ribbon Socks, Ballet Flats and Heels

My friend, Nick Danger, who writes the very wonderful blog, Fool for Your Stockings, has "issues" with ballet flats and I've been promising him for a while I'd post a photo with a pair. Earlier, I told him I'd definitely post one today and, since it's 11:31 on the East Coast, I'm posting this photo of a pair with lacy socks to keep my word. There are more photos coming tonight, but I wanted to keep my promise.

(Edited to add a few more shots and will write more in the morning about these socks and how they have rendered my former evil schemes to make my own ribbon socks moot.)

Black Latex Stockings Make You Feel Like a Superhero

Black Latex Stockings - Dante Posh

Black latex stockings, black high heels, black latex gloves, black latex dress, the beautiful Dante Posh wearing them all... I love the way she makes the latex look so completely sexy, while at the same time like normal, everyday clothing. Whether it's because she's so comfortable in her own beauty, or because I've grown so used to looking at these images, I don't know, but I do know my lust for latex is growing.

Sexy Leggings and Nude High Heels

Leggings are sexy, but I have avoided them since their comeback because I have nightmares of the crimes against humanity I committed in the 80's while wearing leggings and haven't been able to think how to make them work for me today, especially since I'm only 5'4" and am terrified of looking stubby. Being cut off at the ankle seemed like a bad choice. This beautiful woman in her raincoat, leggings and nude heels from The Satorialist has changed my mind. She has actually managed to make leggings, the dreaded stretch pant, look elegant. The extremely high heel lengthens her leg and the fact that the shoe is so close to her skin tone helps mitigate any sense of choppiness at the ankle. This is one of my favorite outfits I've seen for a long time and if I could replicate it completely, I would.

Justin Timberlake Parody of Single Ladies & Beyonce in Ballet Boots

I don't actually think the Justin Timberlake portion of the video is particularly funny, except I do enjoy stupid dancing every now and again. However, I can certainly get behind the sheer amount of hosiery and heels on display in this video, especially during the cross cuts between the parody and the actual video for Beyonce's Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).

Beyonce videos are usually very good for some glimpses of hosiery and one fantastic video for that is Green Light, which, really she should be given a medal for having made. (The Golden Leg?) It is a parade of gorgeous hosiery along with some beautiful outfits. Beyonce in a garter belt and latex stockings set my stocking button a-tingle. I was just awash in heels, pantyhose and stockings. She and her dancers wear ballet boots in one sequence and they look amazing on their legs, if incredibly torturous. I've watched video in the past of women on You Tube trying to walk in ballet boots and I find it amazing how well Beyonce and her back up dancers do with them.



As a general precaution, I believe you should probably sit down before you peruse this post. It may cause palpitations or dizziness and Stocking Vixen and her subsidiaries (aka my beagle, Poppy) are not responsible for anyone who falls and hits his or her head while viewing these videos.

Beyonce was on my mind today because Thierry Mugler released some drawings of the costumes he designed for her world tour which starts tonight with a show in Edmonton. It's no surprise that her glorious legs are on display. Since the show kicks off tonight, I'll wait until tomorrow to see if I can find actual photographs of the show rather than post the drawings here.

Sexy, Super-Extra HOT Photos of Women in Stockings

Okay, the title of this blog post isn't the most creative in the world, but my brain is pure mush, having spent the last hour or so perusing COED magazine's 49 Sexy Stocking Stunners.

As they put it:

There’s just something about how this ingenious garment looks on the legs that can make a man lose his damn mind. So to push you one step closer to the loony bin, we’ve put together this tribute to stockings that’s so hot, you might have to take a break to get all the way through.

I thought that being a straight woman, I didn't have to take a break, but apparently these photos are SO HOT that they can also damage the brain function of a female stocking junkie. There's a bit more airbrushing than I care for in some of the shots, but many are just incredibly sexy and I highly recommend hoofing it over to take a look at this collection. Not only are there 49 sexy women in stockings in the article, but each photo links back to a separate gallery (many with somewhat NSFW images or ads, so be forewarned) with many more images of these models often from the same photoshoot. So, I probably just spent the last hour looking at something like 250 photos of incredibly gorgeous women in spectacular hosiery. The things I do for all of you, it's amazing I'm still alive, quite frankly.

New High Heels - 4" Stilettos

No time to set things up properly tonight; for some reason I couldn't shoot in focus while I was standing, so I'll need to set up the tripod, but I shot some pantyhose crossed legs photos in my my new black high heels, since they arrived today and I love them! Thank you to everyone who sent me a vote at Twitter and helped me pick. The balloting went overwhelmingly in favor of this pair, though there were many from which to choose, so I guess you guys were on to something. More photos to come, but I wanted to share something today.

Latex Stockings Lust

My name is SV and I have a problem. I can't stop thinking about latex stockings tonight because my blogger-in-arms, Treacle, at Stockings Addict posted earlier about the ad campaign for Maybelline's new Lash Stiletto Mascara which features lush, shiny black latex stockings in a pair of red-tipped heels. As I looked at the photograph, I felt myself go weak in the knees, even though I was sitting down.




I've been interested in getting some latex hose for a while, and she was kind/evil enough to pass on some links for great places to buy latex hosiery and lingerie. As I perused, I absolutely fell in love with Atsuko Kudo Couture Latex Design and needed to post the photos above in an attempt to get the lust out of my system, since I've been able to think of little else since I laid eyes on their website. I'm looking forward to thoroughly exploring my options for buying some latex hosiery (Atsuko Kudo Couture will have to remain a fantasy item at their price point until I know how I like latex) and reporting back on my adventures in latex stockings.

Shopping at Victoria's Secret

I've been fighting a rotten cold all week and something has also been wreaking havoc with my sleep, so it seems I've been doing many things in slow motion for the last few days. On Tuesday I solicited help from Twitter in choosing a pair of shoes from Victoria's Secret and got back a lot of very helpful messages. The overwhelming winner was this pair of ankle strap high heels in black.
Though I was eyeing another pair of black patent stiletto pumps, I decided that I had to go with the results of the voting and that these were probably a bit too similar to the other black patent stilettos I already own (and have worn in some of the photos I've posted here). If I had all the shoe money in the world, though, I would definitely want these, too. I like the asymmetrical strap a lot. Shiny shoes are good.

While I was shopping I also saw this fascinating retro-looking boy-undies inspired bra and garter panties set. The garters aren't that practical, given that there are only four, but it's an interesting-looking set. I like boy shorts, generally and these takes the "boy" part of the concept a little further.
I dig the repetition of the triangle across the front and then with the double garter strap. Alas, this set did not make it into my shopping bag. Victoria's Secret doesn't believe that breasts larger than a DD cup exist, period, (so I can't ever buy bras from them), and they also offer many of their bras only in the smaller size ranges, on top of that. This bra only goes up to a 36C, so, if you're a 38 or 40 of any kind, Victoria's Secret doesn't want your money. The panties come in S, M, L and are $28.

I'm very excited to get my new shoes and to take some photos in them. I bought some fleur de lis hose recently that will look great, I hope. Thanks to everyone at Twitter that weighed in. It was fun to have some assistant shoppers.

Elmer Batters

Many of the hosiery lovers who read Stocking Vixen will probably chortle at my naiveté, but I have just discovered the photography of the very wonderful Elmer Batters. This will be a very enjoyable exploration for me. I'm off to have a nap, but expect to see quite a bit about Mr. Batters this week.

Stockings, Suspenders and Girdles, Oh My!

Here's a brief fashion show of stockings, suspenders and girdles by What Katie Did a London lingerie company built literally from the ground up on stockings by lingerie designer Katie Halford. In 1999 when she couldn't find seamed stockings at a non-ridiculous price, she ordered a bunch of stockings wholesale and sold them herself on a website. I have to admit, I really like her style.


Today, the company makes a full line of vintage-style hosiery, lingerie and corsets adapted for the modern woman from vintage patterns. Delicious is really the only word I can think of to adequately describe her collections. This fashion show is fun, though low on production values, and I love the way Girl #3 shakes it!
