Thanks for Being Patient

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.

Stockings Photo and Happy Holidays

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!

There He Is...

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.

Stockings and Naughty Schoolgirls (sort of...)

It appears that these young ladies did not study and were left back at Catholic school for a few years. Like five to ten.

Revenge: Ellen Von Unwerth

I am so in love with Ellen Von Unwerth it's insane. I want her to come over to my house with models so we can dress them up and then make them play in the garden while we take photos of them. I definitely will one day buy a copy of her limited edition book, Revenge,which is a gorgeous photodocumentation (with a little text) of three young girls' S & M-tinged adventures under the hands of "The Baroness" at a country manor. I will do it as soon as I find that spare $300 I left laying around somewhere the other day. Until then I will content myself at the library and with the photos that are online (many of which are naughty enough I can't post them here, though they make me tingly. I've posted a couple at Tumbling Vixen and there are a couple under that first link, too). She is truly a magical photographer.

Fisnets, Corset and and Panties...Oh My!

More of the desktop clean up parade, though found this one on Beauty Takes Many Forms, today. The others are from my stash. See more photos...

Saturday Cleaning Day

My computer has suddenly started running at the speed of molasses poured from a Louboutin boot, so I've had to clean up the hundreds of photos littering my desktop and have unearthed piles of gems I've yet to post here on SV. Over the weekend, I will try to get some of these beauties posted.  See more photos...

By Request: South Asian Women in Stockings (and I Couldn't Resist the Panties)

I've been taking requests over at Facebook and one of my FB (and Tumblr and Twitter) buddies, Tiara, who writes the burlesque/arts/performance site, The Merch Girl, asked me to post photos of South Asian women in stockings. "No prob," I thought and off I went to find some great photos. Many hours later, I learned that it was going to be a much tougher task than I'd thought to find really pretty photos that weren't pornographic. I struck out completely finding good, sexy photos of Malaysian women, Sri Lankan women or Pakistani women that weren't porn, which I found frustrating. I understand that there are cultural reasons that make it unlikely for a women in those countries to pose for sexy pics, but it still surprised me to have such a tough time, especially since my searching turned up a reasonable quantity of explicit photos by women from those countries.

However, I love celebrating the positive and I am very pleased to share the photos I did find. I think they're beautiful, but do wish so much I had found more. If anyone reading this knows of great photos or has any in his/her personal stash, please do let me know, because I'd like to share more.

Camera Club Girls

Oh I am so jealous of my friend Jim Linderman who runs the wonderful blog, Gals, Gams and Garters and who has happened into a stash of hand-painted photos by Rudolph Rossi, a member of the NYC Concorde Camera Club. In the 50's, those interested in shooting erotic photos of women (including Bettie Page, pictured above) could become members, pay $10 and gain access to models who would pose nude or bestockinged for them and were more daring because the photos were not for publication.

Mr. Rossi took his photos and then hand-tinted them to make them appear as though they were color shots. They are pretty damn cool looking if you ask me.

Jim has 100 or so of these photos and will be releasing them at his new blog, Camera Club Girls, over the ensuing months. I will be paying rapt attention. Please be advised the blog is NSFW in a 50's kind of way.

Stockings in the Boardroom. Should Someone Call HR?

I'm fairly certain that OSHA might have something to say about Darenzia in lingerie on the table doing things to the acoustical tile, but I'm glad they didn't get there before this wonderful photo was taken.

The sweetest, most adorable pinup ever, Dahlia Delis, whom I've featured in Stocking Vixen before and has started a lovely new blog about the things that inspire her, will be programming some images for us all this week. She has sent me some fantabulous ones from her personal collection. She's a big enthusiast for collecting photography and she has sent me some wonderful shots that I'm looking forward to sharing this week. Thank you Dahlia!

Nude Man in High Heels

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.
