At
home I’m always in shorts and bare feet, summer and winter. Before the
stockings became necessary no problem. Now it’s different, I still try
to keep to shorts and be compliant with wearing the stockings but then I
get remarks from Mrs.A. She can’t get used to seeing me ‘exposed’ in
them, especially the black ones. The picture is not a good one but
one gets the idea. If I would walk around the house as in the picture
above, I would get more than just a weird look.Abi has written a five part, l-o-n-g but entertaining, series about stockings. You see, Abigale HAD to buy stockings. Her doctor wrote a prescription!
I handed her the note.
She studied it, a little longer than I thought necessary.
She looked up with a mixture of surprise and slight disbelief.
“Ultra-sheer!?”
“Yes.” Pause.
“But that’s a … well a … woman’s stocking!”
“If you say so.. and?”
The first post in the series starts out with this line:
I wanted to give a short update on my activities.
Um.....Abi, dear....and your definition of short is.....?
I'm just playing with Abigale. Get yourself a cup of tea or coffee and start with The Twilight Zone - Stockings 1, and enjoy Abi's humor and experiences.
Thank you Calie for the intro. At the beginning I thought it would be short I really did! I never anticipated that I would end up writing …
ReplyDeleteHow many words was it?
[Ed: wait a moment I’ll check: One, Two, Three …
… Eleven Thousand Six Hundred And Sixty Eight. Including titles]
Thanks!
[Ed: that’s an editor’s job and making tea of course]
11.668 words! Really that many?
[Ed: Yes, don’t you believe me? Shall I count them again?]
No, no! Perfectly ok! Just seems a lot.
[Ed: It took long enough. I had my work cut out for me as well as finding all those pictures and caption cards.]
Yes, it was a long haul.
Oh by the way, I’m a little further on the heavy duty garter front. I mentioned in part III, the Rago shapewear link. Well I found the garter belt in Amazon UK (not in Germany unfortunately) it seems that two people bought it for surgical stockings (one a man) and so it seems to be stronger than I thought. Decided to have a go. Placed it in my basket only to find out no posting to Germany! I then saw the source was the US, must be the reason, what a bind! I will still buy and have it sent to a confederate in the UK and then on to me here. Talk about round the houses!
It will be interesting to see how Mrs.A will react, will keep you posted.
