Footie (aka football aka soccer) in tights

Girls do you play soccer?  Why not try soccer in tights?  Here are two reasons to play soccer in tights:

• Tights keep you warm.
• Tights make your legs more attractive to those guys ogling you while you are playing.

Nice fishnets

 So what kind of tights should you wear for soccer?

• Opaques.  More hard-wearing.  Warmer.  But you might over heat in them.
• Sheers.  Less hard-wearing.  But if you get ladders doesn't it just how hard you have played the game?  You don't overheat.

Don't buy expensive tights - even thick opaques probably won't survive the match.

Think you might need a pair of boots

Some guys are playing footie in tights.

Ryan Giggs wearing black tights (actually leggings) during the derby clash on February 13, 2005.  Keeping is hamstrings warm - apparently

Perhaps male soccer players don't feel man enough if they wear tights.  Well here is real man in tights - and he gets the girls

Which are the guys feet in tights?

If don't you play, but are a footie fan, you could still wear tights to keep you warm while watching the match and cheer up your fellow supporters.

Don't you love those sexy German guys?

Pretty in pink (socks)?

(Really this time) For my Amerasian readers.  You can play American football in tights too.

Don't mess with her!

Pantyhose Performance 2. (Although these may be tights actually)

In a earlier post I said how good it is to wear tights on stage if you are a rock band.  Well this post is further evidence, and today's featured band is the Dum Dum Girls.

We see a lot of pantyhose styles here - plain black, striped and patterned tights

Dum Dum Girls is the project of singer and songwriter Dee Dee and started in Los Angeles in late 2008. She is currently based in New York City with the rest of the band in Los Angeles. The name is a double homage to The Vaselines' album Dum Dum and the Iggy Pop song "Dum Dum Boys."

You can see that their style is black tights on stage - but not all the same - a range of patterns.  The tights are combined with low heels.

The different tights and shoe styles indicate the girls are non-conformist, free spirits.  If you are more an X factor product band you would all wear the same.

Is that a little hole I see on the right

Jules and Dee Dee

Apparently lead singer/guitarist Dee Dee never takes off her sheer, black, vertical striped tights.   (Well not never, never on stage maybe).  Apparently she wore them on the first gig, saw they looked good and carried on with them.  They are from a store in New York.

Perhaps the choice of black tights indicates the "dark" side.

Satan on my lips

Here it lies by his wicked kiss

Taking baby sips

To keep and an eye on what I might miss

Will I dream tonight

There's nothing left, there is no light

Need you here to be my guide

Pull me out to the other side

I've dreamed a death

It's mine tonight

Mirror's hazy film

Protects me from the state I'm in

I can't recognize

The face that wears these vacant eyes

I've dreamed a death

It's mine tonight

Tonight I'll sleep, my eulogy

Oh won't you sleep in with me

I slip away, I fall asleep

I've dreamed a death I cannot cheat

Is that a upside down cross at the back

Do the lyrics envisage a final fatal snog from Mephistopheles himself?

The Dum Dum girls are political too, supporting planned parenthood

The Pope don't like it - but will these legs in tights turn him on?

What about the lyrics.....

Oh whoa-oh

I take as much as I can get

I don't take any regret

I close my eyes to conjure up something

But it's just a faint taste in my mouth

I think I'm coming down

I think I'm coming down

By tomorrow I'll be leaving

By tomorrow I'll gone

If you want to tell me something

You had better make it strong

'Cause I think I'm coming down

I think I'm coming down

I think I'm coming down

I think I'm coming down

I think I'm coming down

(Here I go)

I think I'm coming down

(Here I go)

I think I'm coming down

(Here I go)

I think I'm coming down

Here I go

There I go

You abuse the ones who love you

You abuse the ones who won't

If you ever had a real heart

I don't think you'd know where to start

'Cause I think I'm coming down

I think I'm coming down

I think I'm coming down

Yeah, I think I'm coming down

Yes, I think I'm coming down

Yes, I think I'm coming down

A ode to abusive love

She drinks as much as she can without regret of getting really drunk to make her memory of her ex fade away. The faint taste in her mouth has double meaning - the faint taste of alcohol and the faint taste in her mouth which is used as an expression to describe a faded memory.

"If you want to tell me something.You had better make it strong" 

- Also a double entendre - Whatever it is he has to say, she is telling him he needs to be upfront about it now or never. She wants to be prepared to hear what he has to say by drinking heavily to numb the pain.

I think I'm coming down - from the high of drink or drugs

"You abuse the ones who love you. You abuse the ones who won't. If you ever had a real heart. I don't think you'd know where to start"

- He's obviously hurt her and taken her love for him for granted. He doesn't have any real emotional attachment to anyone though he pretends to. She sees through this though and knows he will never really care because he is a fucked up person. Hence the last line.

Holed and ladder tights as rejecting conventional female stereotypes?

Or is it, a homage to Yoko Ono’s classic, disturbing, groundbreaking 1964 feminist performance art film, “Cut Piece”

Fuck knows.  Its a great song.

Nice ladder (not laddered) tights

Thanks for the nice feedback - Cal :) Now its time to corrupt you a little more

In a comment on my post "Back to 60s?" Cal said:

"God, I love your blog, and since the daily updates started, I've been in heaven :). Thank you so much"

Thanks Cal and here's a picture just for you.  Since you left a comment on a page about seamed tights I thought you might like some seams.

The question Cal, is whether she is wearing tights or stockings, looking at the wrinkling I suspect stockings.  But perhaps you are a foot man Cal.  Looking at the logs for my site many of the visitors have an interest in female feet.

Perhaps you like feet with reinforced toes.  Guys who had their formative period in the 1970s or 1960s tend to like tights with reinforced toes.  Perhaps it is because you saw your mothers and older sisters in reinforced toe tan tights.  Perhaps your mother or older sister rubbed her tan toes against you.  Or perhaps your first girlfriend wore tan tights with reinforced toes.  You remember that first snog as you felt up her nylon covered legs.

But if your you grew up in the 1980s Cal, perhaps you prefer opaques.  The kind of tights that became popular in that era.

Glad you enjoy the daily updates Cal, now you are even the subject of one!  I'm afraid that I'm updating every day because I am a sad bitch with no life.  When I get a bit of more of a life the update frequency will go down - although I hope to keep it at least bi-weekly.  So if you like your updates you have a pray to your gods that I stay Nicky no-mates.

Not me, but another blogger in tights

Now I'm not sure that you are in Heaven (even metaphorically).  Angels may wear tights in christmas plays but I don't think the christian god would like tights in heaven.

Tights are too much fun for such a killjoy god.  Even metaphorically heaven as a term seems too tame for the enjoyment of a nylon addiction.

Cal, I like to think of tights lovers like yourself as being in a hell realm   A continual desire for new nylon experiences.  Unable to think about anything but tights ... then a moment of explosive relief.  Then after a short refractory period the growth of desire for girls in nylon again.  Much more pleasure than heavenly experiences.

Satan wants you to love tights

Let me tempt you with one last image.

Tights and stocking feet help girls get big cock

Unfortunately in wasn't attached to a man.

Pornification

Shadow health minister Diane Abbott on Tuesday evening launched an attack on the "pornification" of British society, arguing our "hyper-sexualised" culture is damaging the British family.  Last month Abbott defined pornification as when young girls feel they only have value as sex objects, something they absorb "from the popular culture around them".  Of course the web is implicated in this.

Something nasty on your PC?

Now we could argue about whether "hyper-sexualised" is a good thing.  Perhaps it increases the total amount of pleasure in the world.  Is it ever right to curtain freedom, even if it is freedom to enjoy sexual images and there are negative side effects?  (We let people drive - cars and think of all the negative side effects of that).

But in this post I want to concentrate on how many images of women in the web posted in blogs, facebook, flickr etc show how women can look good, sexy even:

• Without taking there clothes off
• ..... in fact showing very little bare skin
• Without having to take part in sex acts
• Wearing everyday and "non-slutty" clothes

Exhibit A

Looking good in thick tights.  Only bare skin is hands and faces.

Exhibit B

Looking good by putting shoes on rather than taking clothes off

Exhibit C

If you have take anything off, all you need to take off are your shoes.

Exhibit D

With foot fetishes so popular - all you need to show to be super sexy is your feet.  No need to flash your tits or other bits.  And you can have your feet in tights.

Intense and serious is sexy too

Exhibit E

Simple everyday poses...

 .....or candid snaps.....

... bring out true beauty better than provocative poses.

So what are you waiting for?  Snap your friends in tights and post their pictures.  That's them in tights, not you, but come to think of it you could wear tights to do the snapping.

Do your bit to show the beauty of being dressed, with tights, and ordinary.

Found something nicer this time?
