Corset Week Continues

If you haven't hopped over to my friend Treacle's blog, Stockings Addict to check out the goings-on during Corset Week, I highly recommend a vist so you can learn more about corsets, and see beautiful photos of some amazing work. She even took shots while she was out and about at Dragon Con last week of women in some very varied and cool ensembles.

My favorite post so far, has been this one about Mr. Pearl, the eccentric and gifted designer who wears his own creations and has trained his waist to a tiny 18 inches!

Fishnets and Boots

via The Code: 831

I have "issues" both with black over-the-knee boots (which are predicted to be big for Fall 2009, hooray, hooray) and fishnet stockings, so this photo is a winner in my book.

Monica Bellucci is My New Girl Crush

I'm straight, but I really want to ride mopeds, try on dresses and go to boarding school with her.

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!

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.

Plus-size Pinup in Stockings

I've been on a quest to find sexy, artistic photographs of plus-sized women in stockings since I first started this blog and it is ridiculously difficult to find great photos. It's even harder to find shots of extra-curvy pinup girls. This shot of model Hanna Oxford that I ran across on Tumblr is awesome. I've been curious about wet nylon for a while, so the photo plays on my own desire to get into the tub (even though she's wearing fishnets) and I just love her outfit, down to her tiara.

It's a great, fun, sassy, relaxed pose, though I can't help but notice she's doing the smart thing and keeping those pretty boots out of the water.

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?

Corset Making: Profile of a Corsetiere

A profile of Melanie Talkington from Lace Embrace Atelier in Vancouver, which sells handmade corsets and lingerie, as well as garters and stockings and other retro lingerie items. Gorgeously sexy stuff on their site including this gorgeous lace-up girdle.

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?

Sexy Pillow Fight: Leyla Rose and Missy Malone

Being as this is Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. and Hollywood traditionally uses it to kick off the summer blockbuster season, I thought I would do something a little different and program some Stocking Vixen TV for all of you to enjoy the next few days. You have my personal guarantee that my channel will feature substantially more hosiery, and maybe even more lingerie, than what Hollywood has in the the U.S. theaters right now.

Here we have the very sexy pinups, Leyla Rose and Missy Malone kicking things off on Stocking Vixen TV with a wonderfully sweet, sexy and funny pillow fight to "My Guy."

French Maid Pinup: Dahlia Delis

French maids are sexy and Ms. Delis makes quite the impish little petticoated member of the household staff. This brings to an end our wonderful 24 hour parade of photos I have to share with all of you and I hope you have enjoyed seeing some of Dahlia's work and have made a visit or two to her site. If you did enjoy the photos and want to share a note with Dahlia, please feel to wax rhapsodic in the comments area. I'd say she deserves it.

Thanks so much Dahlia for sharing your beauty and wonderful photos with us here!

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.

Ballerina Bondage: Dahlia Delis

I love the rosettes binding Dahlia's wrists together. Very sweetly sexy.

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.
