Nah, not hooker clothes. Can be totally classy if worn right. Says she who has a drawer full, hot pink are my faves but you can't go past classic black...

Destroyed fishnets are almost as good as pristine ones! Maybe better

nah...you see trashy can be a side of glam, just like sleaze...glam is that...it's making something interesting out of anything you want.

That boyfriend must have been a loser! I'll bet these days he probably pays hookers to wear fishnets for him!!

Ripped fishnet is most certainly glam! Not that I have anything agianst anyone who dresses like a hooker either!

That goes for the girls and the guys!

Yeah, it's obvious that he was just jealous of the attention you were getting, either that or he was dying to wear them himself!

er...at a random guess...tight shop? sorry, i'm not likely to be of use answering that...considering that i've never owned fishnets...i now own some black ones, but they're the 1st pair i've had since i was 7 and the ones i had then had Disney characters on them...actually, i do miss those....and my mum only bought those to keep my legs warm, i would have told her there's other ways to do that, but at the end of the day, she is my mum...and i'll emphasise the 'MY' too.

LMAO @ tight shop, I so wish they had those! I'd say either online, or the hosiery department of yer local department store. Although maybe not in other countries

God Bless You, Stanley!

I'd at least THINK about slapping any man who'd tell ME what to wear!Just like, I wouldn't boss a guy around.Its a respect thing.

I LOVE fishnets....strung up with a garterbelt.Torn or pristine.Black or any colour.

I hate Atlantic City because I can't walk a block without some jackass offering me money.

(Funny thing is here the whores usually DON'T wear garterbelts & stockings nor nearly as much makreup as me tho often their shoes and their skirts are cute.And if I think someone's dressed hot I will tell them.And hopefully they'll be gracious and say thank you.)

Hollywood/San Francisco/NYC I never got hassled, not in Philadelphia or Phoenix either.

Tho I WILL confess I feel less self conscious if I'm wearing more opaque thigh highs.Same garterbelt sticking out of the skirt, but its as if theres a difference.Although I will usually wear stockings under the fishnets to protect my skin from the sun......

I'd LOVE to see more people wearing fishnets.....men look great with fishnet under their vinyl pants and I love fishnet shirts....and girls could wear fishnet shirts over tittie tape in clubs (i.e electrical tape)

I LOVE fishnets! I even cut holes in them to wear them on my arms as well ('cause the ones specially made for arms are crap) I have green ones, red ones, pink ones, black ones..
When I dressed up as a glam rocker for "future me day" at school everyone thought I was a hooker at least my friend's Media teacher liked my outfit.

The finger holes really hurt and cut into my hands they're a lot more comfortable when I make them myself. I got them from this little shop called Jox & Sox, I dunno if you know it.

no seriously though..i have said this before, and i'll probably no doubt say it again, but this little hole is like the place that glam forgot...even if glam IS being inventive yourself...it's still pretty difficult to do so here...because nevermind stocking glam type clothes, you're not even likely to find clothes that you can transform....that is if you can transform them as well...i mean, let's just say me, needle and thread is not a match made in heaven style relationship.

Leathur, you make me jealous everytime you post i'd love to get to NY KISS Expo!
But i suppose Sick Thing and I will have to wait until March when KISS come out here for the Grand Prix!!

yeh, I know Jox & Sox, they have some cool stuff. I usually get my fishnets from in backseat of my car (just kidding folks)

So...I just saw a pic of your hands at my (I'm sorry, "The Hollywood Guitar Center Rockwalk) Rock Walk.

The employees were real nice to me,I used that area for a shoot in 1999, I think....the photog died in 02..(he was a nice old man who let me have copyrights to the pics to use where I will)...but the employees saw us out front and invited us in, we saw the little museum...I thought for sure we were gona get one of those lawyers letters ....everybody wants permits yaknow....try doing a shoot in plain view at Griffith Observatory.

Yeah since I might not make it back to L.A. this year I will attend Baltimore Expo too.It'll just be a hassle getting everywhere by Greyhound bus.....and I bring a boatload of wardrobe, I do NOT pack light....

ONE MORE THING I entered a dance contest at the Body Shop (*ahem*) and who was in the audience but Uncle Miltie....Milton Burle.....lol I think I danced to Motley Crue...I'm just blabbing because I heard U know where that strip joint is

You can be jealous when I'm having fun, but just remember when I'm stuck in Jersey I'm that lone rocker freak....at least its warm where you are now I LOOOVE warm weather best it suits my clothes after all.....

I use all the material up too.For instance...if I'm looking for thigh highs but all I see are tights, I just buy them and cut them off at the thigh....then I have a headband or ponytail holder....or I have a fishnet tubetop to put over a leopard bra or something....and fishnets look good layered on top of spandex pants too.

Actually one of my beefs with stockings period is that really wide darker band....sometimes it doesn't look so great sticking out of my miniskirts.....I know that dark band is reinforced so it runs more slowly.....(clear nail polish stops rund but not in fishnets).

My current crisis is.....my red and my white garterbelts have both worn out...grrrrrr and Victorias Secret doesn't sell stand (hang) alone garterbelts....and out HERE in Atlantic City their sales clerks did not at first know WHAT a garterbelt WAS......this chick had no makeup on either....and so I'm pointing to my legs to teach her....I mean you'd think anybody selling lingerie would know about it....

Incidentally while you can find stockings AND garterbelts in most Sears ladies apparrel sections....theres NO garterbelts at the Sears on Santa Monica and Western in Hollywood......grrrr you can't tell me even the demographic they seem to cater to (illegal aliens) won't wear them......

I bring this up because once I walked all the way down there (from the Hollywood/Vine area)and for NAUGHT!

fishnets tights have ALWAYS appealed to me so i don't know why i've never bought any...but my favourite ones are still and always have been my fore mentioned Disney tights ...unfortunately...i don't think they do them to the length of my inside leg if they even do them anymore. ..and they did have glitter on, so methinks they fall into glam lol.

Thats whats awesome about stockings.....they don't HAVE to cover the ass!I can find kiddie tights and cut em off and...I have a pair of red socklick material "stockings" I made that way.....and they may have been from a dollar store in Hollywood....

And people....women especially....need to get over body image issues where they think only ana chic can wear the minis etc.Thats not true....if you feel beautiful you will project that you ARE beautiful to other people.....

That said those old fashioned stockings from the 50s that do not stretch....they bag at the ankles....grrrrr if you're out walking around but I have some pink ones I'll try to use in a shoot in my hotel room at NY KISS Expo....
