Red Stockings and Dahlia Delis' New Blog

Now that I have your attention, the lovely Dahlia Delis has commenced blogging. She's such an adorable girl and a true lover of stockings and vintage style (not to mention a fave pinup of many a lad and lass who reads my blog) so hop on over and take a look, won't you?

Revenge, Thy Name is Lily Allen

A friend of mine, who shall remain anonymous, has a rather serious problem around the admiration of Lily Allen's legs, and he has shown he will go to desperate lengths to get his LilyFix™.

Having issues of my own around nylon and legs, I respect a person with a healthy fixation and would never dream of interfering in or provoking something of that nature. UNTIL!! Until, he broke our unspoken truce and began blogging videos that tap into a particular tingly-spot for me: the kissing of nyloned legs. For unknown reasons, just thinking about it makes me shiver and I love watching it, as well, and he KNEW IT and he preyed upon me in my state of purity and innocence...

So, this is war, Nick Danger! I am in possession of no fewer than 21 high-quality Lily Allen leg photographs, as well as the URL for an excellent Lily image site. Perhaps I will reveal them all today, or perhaps I will make you wait. This is for me to know and all of my readers to watch and enjoy.

In cyberspace no one can hear you scream.

Dahlia in Living Color

Again, I've broken my long-standing ban on nudity to post this photo, because HOW COULD I NOT? It's just a gorgeous shot of Dahlia Delis, artistic, highly tasteful and I absolutely love it.

My favorite part of this photo is the way the garter strap presses gently against her right thigh. I can imagine so clearly what it would feel like to run a finger over that strap and go from smooth skin to elastic then back to smooth skin in a flash.

Pinups on Twitter: Dahlia Delis

Pinups use Twitter, too; in fact, as a group, they are fairly tweet-happy, and I suspect as my readers become more aware of the site as a tool to connect with beautiful women in nylon, more of them may consider joining. Last week, a few amusing messages from LA pinup model Dahlia Delis caught my eye and lead me to investigate her personal website (which is for grown ups and not safe for work unless you work somewhere super-awesome).

She's funny, she's beautiful and she looks stunningly sexy in stockings and vintage lingerie. It seemed like a no-brainer to write to her and ask if she would share some photos with the readers of Stocking Vixen and she has very generously given some to post here, the first of which appears above. I love the feathers in this one, in particular, and the way the black of her hair plays with the black of her stocking tops and shoes. This is a first for Stocking Vixen in that I don't generally post any nudity on this site, but this is a highly tasteful, beautiful photograph and I couldn't resist.

One advantage to having your own blog is that you can declare your own random holidays, so I declare today Dahlia Delis Day and will be posting photos of Dahlia throughout the day from the selection she gave me. Please do stop by her website. She has photos of a far more grown-up nature than I am able to post here and fans of the damsel-in-distress and smoking fetishes will find much to admire.

Thanks Dahlia for sharing these photos with my readers. I'm sure they will give you a more-than-enthusiastic response.

Turquoise Stockings on the Wall...

.

I try not to do too many, "just because it's pretty," posts here at Stocking Vixen and reserve them for Stocking Vixenette, but I just couldn't resist sharing this photograph by ambiv on deviantART. I love the way the pattern on the stockings coordinates with the wallpaper. Magic!

G's Beautiful Bottom in Black and White

My friend G, recently had some boudoir photography done and I asked if I could share this photograph here with all of you. Simply put, she has a spectacular ass and even better legs. If I had to describe G in two words, they would be "strong," and "sexy". I have seen grown men walk into displays at the supermarket because of her charisma and I have heard teenage boys ask her on dates from their bicycles. If manufacturers could bottle her sex appeal, many people would be in some serious trouble.

You may be wondering things about quarters and bouncing and whether such things are possible with G's beautiful bottom. Since I've touched it myself, I can tell you that indeed, yes they are...

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.

Stockings and Suspender Belts - Liv Tyler

Liv Tyler in Black Stockings

I still owe my readers 30 more sexy stockings and suspender belts photos to say thank you for all the visits you have paid to Stocking Vixen, but the last few days have been a little busier than I imagined. I'm sending Liv Tyler in her suspender belt to hold down the fort until I can post the rest of her sexy friends.

So make that 29 sexy photos I owe my lovely readers. I think this one is so sexy that it might count extra. Thanks to Jack, for sending it to me.

Beautiful Britons, Spick and Span

Beautiful Britons, Spick and Span were wonderful pinup magazines published in Britain after WWII through the 1970’s. One of the best things about keeping my blog is having the chance to get to know some of the loveliest, most generous people I can ever remember meeting. One of them is a reader, Gerard, who offered to share with me scans from a personal collection of Spick, Span and Beautiful Britons he has saved since the 1960’s when he was a “naughty boy” between the ages of 16 and 24.

Spick actually began publication around the same time as Playboy in the United States. They were extraordinarily successful magazines and much-beloved for their photos of pretty girls in lingerie and nylon stockings. As time went on, the publisher’s commitment to not publish photos depicting full-frontal nudity lead to a declining readership, as they couldn’t compete against the more explicit images emerging in reaction to changes in British censorship law. By 1976, Beautiful Britons, Spick and Span magazine had, unfortunately, ceased publication, though many collectors, like Gerard, make sure the images from the magazines live on.






These three magazines, published by Town and Country Publications, or ToCo, were the most successful girly/pin-up magazines of their time in the United Kingdom, yet I found it stunningly difficult to find textual information online about Beautiful Britons, Spick or Span for this post. In some of the images preserved online, I was able to find some charming snippets of text which give a sense of the light-heartedness found inside.

 

Thank you, again, Gerard for generously sharing your photos with us and for giving me the opportunity to learn about Beautiful Britons, Spick and Span.

Since there is so little information online, I would be thrilled and grateful if people reading this who have fond memories of these magazines would post what they remember in the comments section. Really no detail is too small, because, although there are quite a few photos out there, there is a dearth of text about Beautiful Britons or Spick or Span, themselves.

(Since I first wrote this page, Gerard generously provided me with scans of an entire issue of Spick. He also sent me some magazines to scan and share with everyone. I would LOVE to get my hands on a copy of Beautiful Britons.)

Beyonce Pantyhose: Concert Photos and Video

The Beyonce concert tour kicked off last night and photos from opening night in Edmonton are showing up around the Internet and, as promised, I'm posting some new photos this morning of Beyonce's pantyhose and her costumes. The photos were surprisingly difficult to find. I had assumed that Flickr would be loaded with fan photos from the concert last night, but I couldn't find anything. Thankfully, Brown Sista is on the case and has fans sending in photos of the Beyonce concert opening show and will be updating their blog all day long with new Beyonce pantyhose photos as they come in. They have more photos than I'm showing here, as well as several fan videos of live performances from the I Am... concert including Beyonce performing Diva which she performed live for the first time last night. There was a "no-media" rule in force at the concert last night and Sony has already pulled the fan videos from YouTube; the Brown Sista videos at Vimeo may survive a little longer being as they are hosted elsewhere, but that's not guaranteed.

I like the costumes, especially the really weird ones where the backup dancers look like life-size Academy Awards because one of my hobbies is handicapping the Oscars. Most of the costumes are really evocative of fetish wear, which is a lot of fun. I like seeing Beyonce's naughty side. I have always liked how Beyonce looks in shiny pantyhose, and that she wears it so often. I've heard from many of my readers that nude or suntan pantyhose is their favorite and that they love Beyonce especially because she wears that style of pantyhose almost exclusively. She gets a lot of guff for it, too, but I give kudos to anyone who wears stockings or pantyhose on a regular basis.

Clicking on any of the Beyonce photos will take you to a larger version, but I especially recommend it with the wedding dress photo.

Hello Beautiful has more photos, including the one above, and video of Beyonce performing a cover of "You Oughta Know."
