searched many yrs to find a Lady as Pretty as You are and to have the same level
of interest in Lingerie,and to look as Stunning as You do,,,the nylon gartered
stockings and nice lingerie is getting to be a lost treasure and attitude
amoungst many women and men alike,,we have been thinged to death for the last 30
yrs and I for one,never liked the look and very tired of not being able to use
my mind and thoughts to help with the excitement and pleasure of it all,,,Im not
saying this inre You,but frankly,there are way to many over weight women wearing
them,and thinking they are sexy??? in them,,I guess to each their own,but I do
like the mystery of it all,,I like my packages wrapped,just so I can unwrap them

many other things like slow time and foreplay and just spending nice quality

giving 100000000000 reasons for wanting to see you dressed up like this,,women
complain about us men,but if they only took more time and effort with a positive
attitude about all this and walked around or got dressed or undressed and had
their men see all this,wow,,there wouldnt be so many divorces and Im sure more
attention paid to their mates,,,its just my opinion and thoughs I guess,but
thats the way I see things at times,,,I just dont understand why women find g-belts,nylon
panties,stockings,slips and silky bras as the "enemy",,they would have so much
more power over a man,,,,oh well,,,I just want to thank You for all your hard
work,Your Beauty and for sharing with us men,that probably wouldnt be able to

Hi Merc
I got started around 10 when I saw my sexy single mom dressing for a date with her boss an older guy with $$. We lived in a small apt. and her door was open. She had on long black stockings that went up to her cheeks, black Satin garter belt, and sheer full cut red panties. She was looking in the mirror with her hands on her ass not aware of me. I knelt to the floor and watched her spray perfume on her thighs and then bend over and step into a tight skirt. What a view. I was 13 when I discovered sexy pics of her while snooping in her panty drawer. My temp went up considerably not to mention another thing. I have those pics well hidden from my 16 yr old daughter who like her mom wears stockings and garter belts.
I have enjoyed many girls and women over the years and always insist that they wear stockings during love making.
Luv ya!

Hi Mercedes,
You must hear this all the time, but I have to compliment you on your website.
It has to be the classiest stockings and garters site on the Internet bar none,
due to the tasteful and fashionable selection of stockings, and of course, the
legs used to model them. I’ve surfed all the different pages of your site, and
although I’d browsed through the testimonials in “From A Man’s Point Of View”
before, I’d never thought about the questions you asked in the introduction.
Until now. Why is it that some men like to see women in stockings? What is it
about stockings that make me react the way I do?
At first I thought my predilection for stockings was an unnatural and unhealthy
preoccupation. My ex-wife used to berate me for it. In her native tongue she
used to call me a fetishista, or fetishist. I had to look it up in the
dictionary.
According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary, a fetish is “an object or
bodily part whose real or fantasied presence is psychologically necessary for
sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may
interfere with complete sexual expression.” There are some salient points to
make about this definition.
First, the definition says that the object is psychologically necessary for
sexual gratification. In other words, if it is absent, there ain’t gonna be much
satisfaction. Personally speaking, stockings and garters only enhance the
satisfaction of a sexual encounter, they’re not necessary for that satisfaction
to occur.
Second, the definition says that the object is a fixation that may interfere
with complete sexual expression. Again, this is saying if it is missing, there’s
not much going on. Despite the differences between me and my ex-wife, we never
had any problems in the bedroom, presumed fetishes or no. So I guess I’m not as
fixated as she would’ve had me to believe.
But I am still left wondering about your questions. Why do I like stockings on
women so much?
Not to get overly Freudian or anything, I think initially it has to do with
mothers being the role models for the romantic relationships with women that
boys eventually pursue. After all, a mother is the first significant
relationship a boy has with a member of the opposite sex, and the occasional,
unintentional glimpse a boy gets from accidentally walking into his mom’s
bedroom while she is dressing, for example, piques his curiosity about the
differences between boys and girls.
My mom used to wear stockings, as was the fashion back then. My mom had great
legs, and as young as I was I knew even then that the stockings made her legs
look even better. She let me know though, in no uncertain terms, that intruding
uninvited into a ladies’ bedroom while she was dressing was not something that
polite little boys do. Kids aren’t stupid; they learn pretty quickly that there
are certain social mores, like taking precautions to cover the undergarments
beneath your clothing, that are not to be violated. This only makes them all the
more enticing when they are broken.
But you don’t want to involve your mom in breaking those mores , for a number of
reasons, not the least of which she has the power to make life miserable for you
in these kinds of situations. It’s safer (and more fun) to explore this
curiosity about the feminine species somewhere else, like school.
Some of the girls about eleven or twelve years old would come to school trying
to emulate their older sisters. This meant wearing stockings and high heels. Our
classroom was on the second floor. As we were lining up the steps to go back to
class after lunch, some of us guys would lag behind to position ourselves at the
bottom of the flight of stairs, hoping that some of the girls wearing dresses
and stockings would be at the front of the line and therefore, above us at the
top of the stairs. Occasionally we got lucky enough to get a glimpse of some
lovely legs and stockings. It was fun because some of the girls caught on to
what we were doing and became embarrassed, trying to cover themselves. Others,
realizing the effect they were having on us, had their own fun pretending like
they didn’t care, or better yet, there were a few adventurous souls who liked to
tease us by putting on a little show.
I even had a crush on a young teacher, blonde and petite, who used to catch up
on her reading while we were doing homework. She’d push back from her desk and
cross her legs. Her tight skirt would ride up enough to show us some stocking
welt and sometimes even a little bare skin above it.
In middle school, one of our classrooms was arranged with the desks all along
the walls. Somehow I arranged to have Debbie sit next to me. She was a dark
eyed, dark haired beauty, taller and older than most of us and therefore (I
reasoned) more sophisticated and knowledgeable in matters of sex. She was the
girl who must’ve been the inspiration for ZZ Top’s song Mexican Blackbird. She’d
wear these plaid skirts to school that fanned out over the chair when she sat
down. From the side, I was close enough to be able to slip my hand underneath
without anyone but her aware of what I was doing and run my hand up and down the
stockings on her long legs. She let me casually explore the feel of her thighs
through the stockings, all the way to the welt where the garter attached, and
beyond to the bare skin above. I used to run my finger along the top of her
garter strap, as far as I could without her getting anxious, then I’d slide my
finger between her garter and leg and run its length back down to the top of her
stockings, back and forth while the teacher blathered on about who knows what.
It’s a miracle I never got caught, or that I ever got out of eighth grade.
Then later, in high school, some girls, for whatever reason, would dress
provocatively, sometimes overdoing it intentionally or unintentionally. Their
skirts would be way too short for their stockings, so when they sat down the
stocking welt would show. Sometimes the hem of their dress would hang just below
the welt, so that any movement, like stepping up, would give anyone paying
attention a peek at the tops of the stockings.
Sometimes a garter strap, hastily attached in the morning because the wearer was
not fully awake or in a hurry, would come undone during the course of the day.
We’d get a nice, leisurely view of a stocking sagging below the hem of a dress
until one of her friends alerted her to her “embarrassing” condition.
This is the stuff that memories are made of, which is my point. These memories
were made during the budding and blossoming of fully heightened sexual
awareness. They became imprinted forever in our brains. It is my contention that
what we derive pleasure from as children, we try to perpetuate on into our adult
lives. My fumbling forays into the realm of sexual exploration produced some
vivid memories of excitement and adventure with women that in some respects have
never been equaled. That they occurred while these young and beautiful women
were wearing stockings was perhaps, in hindsight, by coincidence. It made enough
of an impression on me to seek out the same intense thrill as an adult, with the
added advantage of now being able to communicate openly and frankly with members
of the opposite sex about such issues without fear of ostracism or
embarrassment. Thanks, Mercedes, for asking questions in “From A Man’s Point Of
View” that motivated me to learn a little more about me. That’s always a good
thing. A long and happy life in stockings to you and yours,
Neil
from E.H.
Women are wonderful. Women work, they protect, they share, they love. Women are the heart and sole of the family as they rise early to run and exercise. They are back to nurture and feed. They move in the workplace.
Ladies are wonderful. Ladies are proud to be women. Ladies love to be appreciated. Ladies wear beautiful lingerie to share with us and to feel our appreciation. Ladies wear stockings to share. The stockings held by a beautiful garter belt or an open bottom girdle are an offer to share the beauty of a Lady. She feels this sharing as we appreciate her beauty.
These lingerie items with stockings are shielded by the satiny cling of a slip and the open invitation of a hem on her skirt. We share this beauty as we watch the Lady move, the skirt move on the leg. There are peaks at this beauty as we sense the line on the back of her stockings. We know the Lady has garters buttoning the welt of her stockings. We know there is a slight pull as the welt is tugged gently into the thigh. The Lady’s beautiful thigh is accentuated by the welt on the stocking. We know how that welt, pulled tight by its garter, feels abutting the soft skin. She shares a higher look as the skirt moves and she shares this appreciation of her beauty. We see the welt, We see the garter button and its strap pulled firmly at its tether.
The Lady proudly shares her beauty through these lingerie items and how they are a major enhancement to her beauty. We love women who are Ladies and proud to share their beauty.
Hey Mercedes,
This is just a story I thought you might be interested in. When I was 13 my Geography teacher in school has the best legs and she used to wear very short skirts and sexy tights. She used to sit on the table in front of with her legs crossed and could not stop looking. One day when she was standing beside my desk I thought I would take a chance and feel her legs, no-one saw and she never said anything to me. I was so good. I dreamed about it for ages. Also when we were doing test I always failed cause I spent all my time looking at her legs. I often wondered what it would be like to have sex with her and feel her legs for hours on end.
Yours sincerely
Conor
Mercedes, I love your legs, they remind me of so many happiness
my love for stocking and garters started when I was 14
I was "in love" with a girl of my age, and she had been tickled by her
aunt,
so she had pissed a little in her slip, so she took it out and walked in
front of me upstairs where I lived that day
I saw her legs in stocking with garters and I knew she didn't had anything
else
upstairs we did all the playing you can imagine, at the end she only had
one stocking and one shoe on
when I was 17 years old my piano teacher (25 or 26) used to have miniskirt,
blouse garters nylons and frequently asked me to kiss her muff to have her
saying to my parents I was a wonderful boy on the piano, and that was right
- she was on the piano when I kissed her
when I was 22 I had a girlfriend of 19 who just wanted to use garters and
nylons only when I also used them, and so we made great walks in dunes and on
the beach here in the Netherlands, both only in garters and nylons, other
clothes in a bag
sometimes I can smell my girlfriends of that days (some 30 years ago) and I
can smell there nylons, different from nylons now days

Hi Mercedes,
Just looked through your site- very, very nice, I'll give it a
10+. I especially liked the embarrassing moments section.
I was wondering if you would ever consider doing a series of fan or
wind blown skirts or dresses. To me, there is nothing more exciting
that seeing a skirt rising up with legs covered in stockings. I started
watching this at the age of 9 or 10, when my mom would go shopping
downtown. There was a street corner where the multi stored buildings
met noted for the breezy effects and skirts would fly on a moments
notice, and I found myself getting very excited watching. As I grew
older, our school had a great place to watch- the main stairwell leading
out. The stairs was built with a tunnel effect and since the doors
faced west, there was always a breeze coming in, and the doors were
blocked open at the end of the day. Any gal coming down the stairs
would come down with no wind, and as she turned the corner, WHAM, up
shot her skirt and with her hands full of books, quite a view was had.
I worked at the local supermarket, and the skirt blowing was A+. I saw
everything from a gentle billowing of a skirt like a parachute opening
as groceries were placed in a car to a really windy day which blew
skirts up, not only above hips or head, but literally, completely over
the roof of the car, where the skirt hem flapped like a flag. The place
I work has its stairwells just like the school, and there are a few women
that still wear dresses or skirts and nice views do happen, but with
most women now wearing pants, those views are not seen very much. My
wife would wear dresses when I first met her, and I remember one time,
we were going to a restaurant to meet friends and the drive took us down
Interstate I-95. Every time a tractor-trailer would pass us, the hem
of her skirt would get sucked or blown out the window. It would be
billowed up in the car and because it had a taffeta like underskirt, it
cracked like a whip as it flapped out the window, causing my heart to
race along with other effects (wish I had a video camera then).
Please consider the request for the blowing skirts- I think that
every guy looking a this section would be excited as I would be.

A couple of days ago while reading the tales in the Men's Column
one of
them from "C" really hit me. It almost could have been written by me.
In 1952 I met a 21 year old female who was the prettiest girl I ever went
out with. And being a Southern gal from Alabama she wore garter belts,
stockings and dresses or skirts -- even gloves. A true female with
Southern values. She was the only gal I ever truly loved. However because
of maternal interference we never got married.
Though I did tie up with her in 1956. By then she was married and had 3
children but her tummy was as flat as I shed had never had any children.
Shortly after she was supposed to move to Alaska -- but that never
happened and I lost track of her,
some years ago I was in New Orleans and looking at a map discovered that
her home town wasn't really that far away so drove up there and tore a
page out of the phone book that had a page with her maiden name -- could
not remember here married last name. Well a couple of phone calls later
hit pay dirt. Was able to talked to her as she was visiting here sister
the next day. Almost screwed up because I forgot about the 1 hour time
difference from the Midwest.
To make a long story short we got back together a couple of weeks later
and she practically scared me to death when I saw -- she had orange hair
-- a dye job that went wrong.
After that I'd see her every couple of months. Bought here shoes (mules
which I call "sexy" shoes with 4 or 5 inch heels and lingerie from my
favorite source Frederick's of Hollywood. Their bras (Pushup) and garter
belts are really great. Yes she was still into wearing garter belts and
stockings. Also got her a few pairs of stocking and thigh highs to be
worn with a garter belt. As an aside cannot stand 6 garter types -- only
the 4 garter type. Also a great selection of crotch less panties.
And per the letter from "C" my first wife when I met her was into
girdles
-- a blight on mankind and the same as panty hose "the work of the
devil"! Finally was able to talk her into garter belts and away went the
girdles.
My second wife was a "C" explained -- she didn't even know how to put
on
a garter belt. It was backwards.
The last couple of years did not see here because of sickness -- 4 bout
of pneumonia during that time. Earlier this year she suffered a severe
stroke which took her life. It has really devastated me.
Also recently had a catalog sent to me from PABO,com. Great selection of
push up and 1/4 cup bras and garter belts. Personally do not like slips.
AS one final note will NOT go out more than twice if a woman insists on
wearing panty hose.
My favorite colors for stocks are smoke and black (Also like black or red
garter belts -- these are the most common colors. White is too virginal.

Hi, Mercedes, I love your site,
Here is one of my stories, maybe you want to publish it on your stocking -
stories site.
I have frequently looked after a little boy 2 years old at the end, same age
as mine at that time, for Desley, a friend of my wife, who was working in a
shop.
Whenever she came to our place, she wore 3ple - x thin hose, tan coloured,
my personal favourite. And my little two - year old couldn't get over it
either. He used to lie down in front of her on his belly and fondle her
feet.
She usually wore a knee - long skirt and these lovely stockings. Then came
the day, she was moving away and it was going to e the last time. That day
she wore the same style skirt and hose, but her top was just a negligee, and
she wore an opaque, shiny black bra. I wonder now whether she had worn that
all day or whether she had taken something off for me in her car. Anyway,
when I saw her I gasped, 'Oh Desley.' She sort of came close and nearly
leaned against me, but as I was too shy to do anything and actually tried to
pick up my own son, who by this time was touching her stockings, she went
and squatted down next to her son. When I looked into her direction, myself
now squatting holding my son back, she opened her legs for me and I could
see she was wearing pantyhose with a cotton gusset. She showed me a
couple of times, but I was too shy to do something.
Now I often dream of her, what would have happened.
I could have said, 'Very nice!' maybe referring to her boy. Maybe she would
have lifted her son up, accidentally pulling up her skirt so that I could
have seen her thigh right through the hose. Maybe she would have moved close
to me and I would have touched her hose myself, slowly working my way up. I
dream I lifted her up, sat her on our table, pulled down her panty part, just
far enough so that I could enter her from the front. I love that.
I would have laid her down backwards and slid my hands under her top and
into her bra and messaged her and sucked her nipples, pushing into her
harder and harder, until I would have exploded inside her. I still dream of
her.

Hi Mercedes and co-readers,
I love your site, too, as all the writers on either side, women and men. It is really time to come back towards the beauty of women, but still I'm waiting for a similar movement for men: becoming less mouse-like, less grey and more sexy in their clothes - pardon: our men's clothes.
I am almost 70 and have seen and heard a lot with regard to stockings and what's around them (and within, too).
I have seen so much because since I was four (!) I have some interest ... This I know from a remark my mother did in a notebook on her 5 children's sayings.
When I was a little boy I was scared of the big women's legs with all those „horrible“ silk stockings and broad garters and pink (during the war grey) underwear in the thirties and soon after. But under my shorts, I liked to wear long brown or light grey cotton stockings and garters myself, fortunately not silk (Nylon or Perlon was not yet existent). The rubber lace garters (white for boys, pink for girls, that was the difference!) were held on both ends with white buttons at the stockings and at an under-vest worn under the dress, shirt or pullover. This was for children. When we grew older, at about 12 we got a simple garter belt and those shiny metal clasps at the garter's lower end. Much of these things were home made.
We, that means both, girls and boys. Most girls and boys had such stockings and fixings. In a few families it was not the fashion. From old books and photographs I know, that in the twenties and before, for children only black stockings were in use.
I was very fond of my stockings - especially of the garters! In fact I do not yet clearly know why. Since about 20 I started looking around searching for more information, and more views, but soon the pantyhose took over, to my regret. Later I asked older men about their feelings, but there was different experience: some hated them because they had hand-knit woolen stockings that were horribly itchy on the child's soft thigh-skin; some disliked them because with long stockings and garters they thought to look like girls (for me that was no reason because is there anything wrong to look like a girl? - after all, I had three sisters, and I enjoyed their sight, too). But the majority of boys had no objections and even liked them because it was easier to wear stockings than trousers; it was easy to roll them down in a warm class room, and there was a special feeling to show off a small strip of skin between the stocking and the shorts or slip (sometimes we even lifted the shorts a little!). This was in a way a light erotic feeling, and why should children not have and enjoy it? It was a pleasure to feel the body in this area, especially when the wind caressed the skin.
I wore them until 15, which was longer than with most boys. That was the age when girls got fine cotton, and at times even silk or Nylon stockings. To come to an often asked modern question: at what age should girls be allowed to wear garters? I say: in those times they never stopped wearing garters.
I loved to see the girls and young women in this feminine dress - as I still love to see women ...
But - from early childhood - there is a little trace of resistance against Nylons left in me and I would prefer women wearing fine cottons in white or color. But the photos that you, Mercedes, show are so much truthful that there is no resistance at all. So this was the pattern of my pre-disposition - a mixture of dislike and liking, but pantyhose I never liked for the reasons often mentioned in this site (for small children they are ok, I think). Later I looked around in history and tried to find out who else and when wore long stockings and garters or similar suspenders. This is a short report, if you like:
www.deutsches-strumpfmuseum.de from all times. But the fact that boys wore long stockings in the first half of the 20th century is almost everywhere concealed. There seems to exist a guilty feeling because it may be felt that it belongs to a forbidden sex category. Yet our mothers in those times felt free and without guilt ...Various historical evidences from Germany are given in
Long stockings are not a specialty of one sex or age only. In European middle ages men (at least in the upper classes) used to wear long stockings and some kind of garters and even proudly showed them by lifting their skirt (to be seen on a copy of a painting in the illustrated journal „du atlantis“ no. 283 (1964) from Zürich, the original painting itself is shown in Vich, Museo Episcopal, near Barcelona, Spain). And many other sources give evidence about this vogue which, however, by the end of the middle ages changed to tights. I must however say that a seam was on those men's stockings and tights as we had them in the last century, and in these days on women's stockings again. But I never found whether in those times women wore long stockings as men did.
In Indian middle ages 80 tantric temples at Khajuraho (Madya Pradesh) were built. These temples may not have been places where the parish gathered to pray to their Godhead in a way Christians are used to. But instead, before in the innermost part of the temple, in a special very deep ceremony experiencing the presence of the God, the visitor had to undergo a thorough cleansing of mind and soul - sometimes this cleansing might have taken a few days or even weeks. It was realized by a kind of psychic and spiritual therapy while surrounding the temple and looking at the outer surface of the temple. Here thousands of beautiful stone carved figures of humans, animals and abstract (to us) symbols were shown (and still are in about 20 temples to these days) to remind the visitor of his innermost emotions that may disturb her/his way to god - and to her/himself. It was what psychologists call a catharsis. The point is: almost all deities and human figures were clad in a very erotic manner: Both sexes are half naked, wearing many ornaments and especially a kind of garter belt with garters that suspend long stockings or similar pieces. These things were made to show them to everybody, not hidden under skirt or trousers! Here the garters are nicely ornamented with precious stones, and together with the long fine stockings they create a very erotic and sexy impact (that's why these temples often are called „the Sex Temples“ and attract many western visitors, mostly men - including me). It seems to me that women were the designers, but so far I have not heard about any detailed written evidence of those days. So the way to find out what the figures were made for is only to sit down and let them affect your emotions - look what happens, it is worth going there (by plain via New Delhi).
Why only women? Sure, in Western societies several men cross-dress to experience and exhibit feminine feelings (I think in all societies, but they always use their own symbols that usually are considered feminine, in the West: stockings, in India the sari etc). This is wonderful but not at all that is possible. Long stockings are much more than those worn as a feminine fashionable symbol and a typically industrial product made of silk, Nylon etc. There is still a wide field of your own home made fantasy - such as ...:
As a whole, long stockings under a skirt offer such a beautiful and free body feeling, irrespective of the sex. Much ornamentation is possible. So I too started to wear them again after 30 years longing - when I was about - under a long colored skirt. I thus began to understand another point of the women who love stockings: liberation and strength and a sense of riskyness and even danger. I never wear Nylons but cotton and woolen (partly home made) stockings and suspenders with the old fashioned metallic clasp and a tight garter belt around the waist. Sometimes I cut a beautiful pantyhose and render it to a pair of brightly colored stockings. And I must confess: I enjoy the emotional nearness to the beloved women to whom stockings are more common (there are still a few, but I never had the pleasure to be in love relations with a girlfriend who ..., sad enough).
Usually Western men, however, look very sad: grey and tightly closed around their lower body, as if saying „not with me“. A woman comes and shows the magic of her body and tries to attract her beloved one while opening her charm, and the man, clad in mouse-grey pants ... looks to heaven and sighs „oh my God, that's too much, Thou may give me some instructions“, or he even dares not to look at her because that's unmannerly. Are there no sexy clothing thinkable for men? Oh yes: please remember for example the leggings the American Indian men wore some 150 years ago: long leather hoses held by a thread at a belt which also housed a knife and a bag for tobacco and supported the loin cloth - that's all, in summer, of course. Riding on a wild horse, yelling like a young eagle. But never do it artificially, BE IT!
Beloved Mercedes, look what you have done with me: animating me to write this long report. Please go on encouraging us to become more women, more men, and to look deeper into our real nature. Your work is beautiful and needed.
Hi Mercedes!
First of all my compliments for your site and of course for the pictures. You look great! Since a
woman is more than just two legs in a pair of stockings, I'd like to say that I mean
the complete image.
Of course I like stockings! I find them very feminine and very sexy, but there's some more... I never
understood why the vast majority of women chose for trousers and pantyhose. These two pieces of
clothing are less feminine, but most of all they give women a pee problem! I haven't read anything on this subject on your site. Peeing (or the need to pee) is not a taboo
anymore. Please check out http://www.restrooms.org/ for more info. It's good to know that the site I mentioned is not related to
any pee sex site.
Greetings from Joop, Holland.
How it all began.
My first memory of nylon was when I was a toddler. Hanging onto my mothers’ leg became my security blanket in a sense. I came to like the soft feel of the nylon.
Then in Kindergarten my teachers’ foot became my focus. She would have us gather around for story time. I always ran to the chair where she sat so I could play with her feet. She would allow me to take off her shoe and play with her stockinged foot.
Now the fact that most of this took place in the late 50’s and early 60’s meant that I was playing with real nylons. Usually re-enforced toe and heel at the time, and beige in color.
My pre-disposition with nylon continued all my life but as I became older I could not just go up to a girl and play with her feet or hug her leg.
But I do remember the girls in school wearing stockings. I recall in grade 6, one girl who I was not particularly fond of, one day one of her garter tabs broke off and she was left with a dangling stocking. I do not recall exactly how she solved her predicament but from then on I saw her in a different light.
Then pantyhose came along, but at least they were still 100 % nylon for a while. Then Lycra was invented. Not much there for one with a nylon fetish.
And now that I am married my wife sometimes indulges me. Sometimes nylon pantyhose and if I am real lucky she will put on the garters and nylon stockings.
So, thank you Mercedes for being here for all us nylon stocking lovers.

Hi
I just felt the need to write you and let you know how much I appreciate you beautiful web site. I think it’s great that you have taking on such a noble task for the betterment of mankind by trying to bring back into high and true fashion garter belts, FF stockings and high heels. With the work of great people such as yourself this is how a "out of style or old fashion" in some people minds styling can be reborn. I must admit I hope this resurrection of stocking makes a full recovery into the everyday wear of many women.
It’s low self esteem and confidence that is the only reason any women should not feel proud to wear stockings. In the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s and even today proud, confident, well dressed women wore stockings. Society today has attached some kind of stigmatism to women being of low moral if they wear stockings and that needs to change. Part of the picture is that men love women in stockings but many women of today do not share the same love therefore taint the water for future and current women that do wear stockings.
So once again, Thank You and your husband for sharing your beauty with the world you touch people lives in a very special way by sharing hope that stockings and garter belts will live on for future generations..
Comments on from a man’s point of view about stockings. A women wearing stockings will always get my attention. When a women wears stocking she is making a statement to other men and women that I’m confidence and proud to be a woman. Women, if your partner has expressed an interest or has purchased garters and stocking for you in the past they want to see you in them otherwise they wouldn’t have purchased them for you in the first place. If your partner is into stockings you have so much teasing power over them. For example the story of husband and wife and it’s his birthday so he has the day off and he takes his wife to work and before she go in shows him that she is wearing garters and stockings under her business dress and he has to wait all day to be with her and that just tears him up inside. He goes and picks her up from work as soon as she can leave and they share a romantic evening in a hotel close by since he couldn’t take it any longer that’s spontaneous romance. If that fantasy came true for me I would be just like that man. So women if you want that kind of passion in your life from your leg mate than by all means do wear stockings. Secrets In Lace has an slogan "Remember to Keep the Romance Alive" that in not just a slogan it is the truth. So if stockings brings the passion out of you partner indulge them once and awhile you will love the attention.
P.S. Women if you receive garters and stockings as gift and you don’t feel move to wear them pass them on as a gift to someone else. Those stockings may provide great pleasure to someone else and enhance their relationships. "Beautiful stockings are terrible thing to waste".

Hi Mercedes!
How are you? I'm writing from Mexico, so please sorry if my English is not
perfect at all. I'm a single man of 24 year old and stockings and garter
belts makes me crazy and excited. As you asked what is the reason why
stockings are preferred? Well, at least in my case, I enjoy nylons and
pantyhose are nice too and I like them too. But... Stockings and garter
belts.... pooch what a pleasure for the sight.
There is no more sexiest, erotic, feminine thing than nylon stockings.
Why I like them? Well I love them because of that, (and specifically ultra
sheer stockings with reinforced toe, black, barely black, white, blue,
etc. that are what I love) but there's more, I don't know why but also
apart from the sight, the smell of a woman's stocking.... OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH
THAT REALLY TURNS ME ON! So.. at least in my case are both reasons.
When I see a woman with dress and nylon covering her legs I start wondering
if she's wearing stockings, garters and how would them smell having them
touching my face! Unfortunately I cannot get that from the internet!
But... I would have to keep just watching.
Nylons will still be my delirium..
Sincerely: A
ATTN. WOMEN:
All women claim to want a good man, lots of good men just want a woman not
afraid to embrace and understand the power of stockings and heels. I don't
care how tired I am, when I see a woman is heels and hose my heart skips a
beat and I'm awake!! Note: stockings to a man are like the sun is to Superman
and tights(pantyhose) are the cryptonite of the hosiery world, they AREN'T
SEXY!!
Stockings are a very seductive thing! Just the sight of their tops showing
when you wear skirts matched with sexy NOT FRUMPY heels are the hot ticket.
I'm writing this to tell you woman to use the power of sex appeal, please
listen and understand we love stockings but we love them on your legs.
Relationships are give and take, so give us a break and take the time to
shave and wear what your men love. Woman take your man with you to buy them
and teach him so you can buy what he is turned on by. Believe me, I love to buy
my girlfriend stockings together and its an intimate moment that will bring
you closer together
I have been married for 21 years, I really enjoy when we go out
that my
wife wears a garter with RHT stockings. You should see the look of the
faces of the men when she tries on new shoes. They sometimes catch a
glimpse of her garter and top welt. One of the salesmen was 20 years
old and when he saw that he was asking my 41 year old wife out on a
date. The huge erection in he pants said it all. Stockings are the
only way to go. Thanks/.
Mercedes,
Hard to believe, but my first two wives did not know how to wear
a garter
bet. My first wife was really into girdles. Took me a long, Long time to get her
into
garter belts. "When I finally did, we had great times."
With my second wife, 25 years later, it was most amazing... at an age of
approximately 45, she didn't even know how to put one on. I had to show her.
You don't put it on backwards. Thought she didn't really like to wear them,
she finally did with stockings. She really hated stockings! What a difference it
made in our love making!
But after the second divorce. Finally found my "first" Love"...a
woman who
loved garter belts and stockings! What a difference. Though I am 71 years
old (she is 70) the old passion is still there. I still have to attribute
garterbelts and "black" stockings and high hells (mules, which I call
"sexy
shoes"). With 4" heels (5" heels", nothing is sexier
Believe me, if your "gal" doesn't know about garter belts, stockings,
mules....give her up/. You'll not be sorry. What got me into this was Bettie
Page and her photos. What a woman! She is still all the woman that I judge
them by. And absolutely "beautiful".
At 71 years of age, it doesn't die, but garter belts and stockings can
really do the trick (even if you are suffering from ED?)

Hi, as always I love your site and look forward to updates. Now
if you
could just have that plane ride so I could see in person:-))
One tip you might want to pass on the your fellow stocking lovers, that I
noted from your HP photo. Always wear panties over the garters. In that
way the garters and stockings can stay on for love making. My experience,
and it is not extensive, is that girls have to unfasten garters to take of
panties and therefore the entire outfit comes off. A big part of the sexual
appeal for men is having the stockings and garters on - felling the
stockings as you make love.
I know you know it but maybe it is something you could enlighten your
friends with.
Keep up the crusade. Down with PH.
Rich
Hi Mercedes-Just wanted to say hello to a very beautiful lady
and tell
you how very much I enjoyed your site. I have always admired the
combination of stockings,heels,garters and a shapely pair of gams.You
certainly fulfill all of those category's.
Like your husband, I am blessed to have a wife with all those qualities.
>From time to time and on special occasions she will put aside her
corporate dress and don a pair stockings,heels and a garter belt for a
night of passionate lovemaking. One special occasion
that I would love to share with you was my last birthday. I had taken
the day off ,but unfortunately my wife had to work. That morning I
decided to drive her to her office As we were driving in on the crowded
expressway I couldn't help but notice my wife had worn my favorite pair
of 3 inch black ankle strap heels.These shoes make my wife's legs look
even better than they already are.
As we pulled into the back area of the parking lot she asked me to stop
before we got to the main entrance. She then told me to close my eyes as
she had something very special for my birthday, when I opened them she
had pulled up her skirt to reveal that she was wearing a pair of black
stockings along with a very lacy matching garter belt.
Mercedes, I thought I had died and gone to heaven she has never worn
anything like that to the office. She then announced that it was time
for work and I would have to wait for five o'clock. Needless to say I
was an emotional wreck, since she chose to phone me several times and
graphically describe her attire to me.
At five p.m. I was waiting for her with my own surprise, rather than
make the long rush hour trip home I booked a room at a hotel adjacent to
her building. I then whisked her off for a night of passionate
lovemaking, but that's another story. This is one birthday surprise I'll
never forget, it's been 28 wonderful years with this always beautiful
women. I hope you enjoyed my birthday memory.
Please continue your very glamorous photo's and your very classy web
site. Warmest wishes,
Robert
Hey Mercedes. My girlfriend works in a lingerie store. I have
always loved the look of stockings and garter belts on a woman. It does
something to the female form. When a girl lifts up her dress to reveal stockings
and garters it focuses all of the attention on her crotch. If she has a nice
rear end the stockings frame this area beautifully. I saw a program the other
day where a woman was talking about this very topic. She said if you take a room
full of women and men (a party lets say) beautiful women all over the place. If
one woman were to sit in the corner cross legged and raise her skirt to show the
top of one of her stockings and garter belt. Every guy in the room would notice
her over the other girls. Guaranteed!!. I agree with you that stockings and
garter belts are from a time when sensuality and sex were more about the hint of
discovery. If I can be
honest with you that's one of the reasons I like the adult films of the pre
video days much better. Almost all the girls in these videos dressed with
stockings and garter belts. You can literally feel the testosterone pump inside
you when you see a real sexy chick wearing this stuff under her clothes. Today's
videos are so crass, over the top and overdone. There is no sense of temptation.
What I really like to see are women with nice full rear ends and small waists
wearing high heels (Oh man!!) and in long summer dresses. I always wonder what
they look like if they were wearing stockings and garters under their dresses.
(maybe they are!!)
Dear Mercedes,
>From my earliest memory (I was born in 54) I have always gotten worked up
and
goo goo eyed over seeing a lady dressed in garters, stockings and heels. To
this very day, I still believe that a woman dressed in such a provocative
manner gets my blood boiling and makes me dizzy. A woman's legs and feet
should be clad in the finest and should be shown off for the world to love
and admire. Your site has renewed that belief. I never realized how much I
missed seeing such beautiful legs and feet on a woman. You are such a
wonderful woman to show your love of legs and feet in the most wonderful way,
in the sexiest lingerie ever set before a man's eyes. Please accept my
appreciation for your love of the womanly art of making all men appreciate
what is put before them to worship and admire.
Thank you so much,
Mikey

Hello Mercedes...
Now about what you are doing with your space in
cyberspace. All I can really say is....WOW!!!. You
have an incredible sense of style and amazing beauty.
I have always been entranced by a pretty lady in a
nice skirt with black nylons and classic black pumps.
To me it is so sexy and sensual too. Much more
provocative than just being presented with a nude
woman. Having a woman dressed as you dress speaks of
class and grace more than anything else. It is
femininity in its purest form.
And it allows the woman to seduce and tease the man
which is something that can only enhance the level of
arousal. Watching a woman cross her legs or adjust
her stockings is a powerful image. It literally sears
your mind with passionate thoughts. It draws the
gentleman's eyes higher and higher up your leg.
Hoping beyond hope to catch a glimpse of lace stocking
top or perhaps even some black silk panties.
And the urge that sweeps over me when I see a woman
like you with long, shapely legs ensconced in sheer
black nylons, is to kiss and caress those magnificent
legs. To feel the silky nylon against my hands and
lips. To nuzzle my cheek against them.
And of course through all of this the beautiful woman
is feeling so sexy and desirable. And she is sighing
and moaning as her lover appreciates her over and
over. The feeling of his hands and lips melting her
already fiery body. And of course motivating her to
continue wearing these wonderful seductive clothes.
Thank You Mercedes for showing that even as we reach
the year 2000, women can still be very feminine and
seductive. I hope it is not a lost art. Because men
want this. You know it and I know it. And we are not
alone in that thinking.
:-)))

I am 39 and my wife always has stockings on. One day one of my parts
drivers noticed that my wife had seamed stockings on and took a special interest
in them. As she
has always worn pantyhose,to make a long story short, I bought her her
first pair of stockings and she is 36. Can you imagine an awesome set of legs
going to waste in panty
hose!!
Now she wears stockings all the time,with an anklet.and a skirt and no
more pants. Our sales have gone up a lot with her in skirts and stockings on all
the
time! We now go out to dinner on Fridays,every two weeks. My wife says it
is nice to have a new convert.in our life so we can dance.and show a little of
stocking top........
A few months ago, I asked my girlfriend to wear stockings for me. Since then our sex life has soared and our relationship is much better. She now likes to wear hold-ups when she is working and a garter belt for when we are in the bedroom. It is funny how a piece of nylon can turn on a man and make a woman feel so... well like a woman. Thanks for sharing your experiences as well. G.
Mercedes,
I am a single male and I found this article about ten years ago. I had it
retyped and ask my dates to read it. This article informs them about my legs
and stocking fetish. I buy stockings by the dozens and garterbelts, in some
cases even high heel pumps for my dates.
When we go out I ask my dates if they would wear stockings and they always
agree. The dates are always more exciting and we always have the greatest
times. It opens lines of communication between us and we feel more comfortable
with each other.
I have more quality female friends wearing and appreciating the power of
stockings. In some cases these women have used the stocking idea with some of
their other dates and their results were fascinating. They call me and thank
me for opening their eyes to some great fun and excitement.
I admire what you do with your website and hope you continue the great work.
Regards
Mark
PS. My favorite color for stockings, garterbelts and high heels is black.
(Article)
LEG FORUM
VALUABLE
INFORMATION
FOR YOU
Women, how many of you complain to your girlfriends about the men in your
life? Or do you even refer to them as men? You probably call them a few
names, if you're like a frustrated woman I know, you're tired of men who push
you away. You've had it to here with those whose idea of commitment is living in
your home and living off your bank account while contributing nothing
financially or emotionally. And lastly, you will not accept any more selfish
men who will not take your needs seriously. And not having made these
decisions you now think your alternative is celibacy. There is an answer!
Every woman I speak to admits to having had one or two encounters with leg
worshippers in her adult life. They usually laugh about the experience, about
how the guy seemed to worship them, "that stuff" was too weird to take
seriously." And then they go back to complaining about their macho, abusive
boyfriend of the moment.
Wake up women! Sex is every man's weakness, his Achilles' heel. Communication
is your key to making your man do what you want and giving you satisfaction,
in every area of your life! The more unusual a man's sexual preference, the
more difficult it is for him to find a compatible mate. A man with a stocking
and leg fetish, most likely has never encountered a woman who will strut and
pose in high heels, garterbelts and sheer stockings he buys for her. He can only
imagine the thrill of serving a woman like this pampering her while he admires
her beautiful legs in stockings. "It's a shame that many of today's
women do not know the power they could hold over men if they just
knew of his interest.
Women could have so many men wrapped around their little finger. There isn't
any man out there that wouldn't welcome this form of romantic communication.
Any woman can use this power to add excitement to her life and her love life
in general" it's so true!
A recent issue of the U S NEWS AND WORLD REPORT put it succinctly, in their
article about new discoveries in the differences between men and women:
"Fetishes, they are almost a male phenomenon". Men think there must be
a
group of women hiding somewhere whom are just like themselves. It's not the
case, but that doesn't mean a woman can not understand and benefit from a
man's fetish, once they cast aside that old fashioned notion of it being
unusual.
These fetishes are harmless, safe variations on the heterosexual theme, and
can provide a thrill for the man as great as any other form. Which would you
rather, girls, a man making the most passionate love or a man giving you
excuse?
Speaking from my own experience I can tell you that there are nerves that go
straight up your legs and when properly handled can give you thrills as great
as any other. This is not some pap to arouse the males. If you want the true
adoring lifetime love; if you want a man who spends money on you; if you want
respect and a faithful partner who thinks of you as his equal or superior, if
you want a man devoted to pleasing you and truly you, in every possible way; try
a LEG MAN. By the way, surveys show LEG MEN are richer and better educated than
the population average. So add to that a successful,
understanding man who will adore you, I personally think you deserve whatever
you get if you don't give these guys a try. And I think you deserve the best!
~ Dian
PS. Remember all men love a "Great pair of legs". If you've never
encountered such a man you may want to educate one, Good Luck!
Dear Mercedes,
I grew up in with 3 older sisters, and as a result have always been more
observant of women, and their attire. My sister who is closest in age
often asked my opinion on how she looked prior to her going out. I am
sure this helped me become more observant. It has been easy for me to
make friends with women because I can talk to them about anything. A
nice pair of legs encased in nylon has always gotten my attention, but I
never thought that the lady may be wearing stockings instead of
pantyhose. Based on my sisters, and the women I have dated, I assumed
stockings were a thing of the past, and that they were only available as
part of a 'costume' or lingerie intended for the bedroom only.
My wife knows how pantyhose get my attention. One day as we were
discussing it, we started to talk about stockings, and how they were
originally made from Silk. That started my searching the Internet to
try and find her a pair of this rare antiquity. That is how I found
your site. I was enlightened, that there are women everywhere that are
reverting back to stockings, and how sexy they are. It is amazing, I
have heard ladies complain about how uncomfortable pantyhose are, and
also about the uncomfortable nature of stockings. Then comes your site,
and there is only the mention of how good they make you feel. The From
a Woman's Point of View sheds new light, that they make a woman feel
sexier, powerful, confident. All I had ever heard about pantyhose was
that it was 'proper' to wear them, and some men like me were excited by
them.
It seams to me that stockings are the way to go. I would think that it
provides more freedom, and less trouble with taking care of things.
They are definitely sexier to me. I can not relate to the actual
comfort level of either stockings or pantyhose, but I love the way they
dress up a pair of legs. I would imagine that the comfort level is like
any clothing, if you get the proper size for your body, and the garment
is correctly proportioned, that either should be comfortable.
Even though we can tell from your sight that you are very much into
stockings over pantyhose, there isn't any mention of your experience
that converted you, or if you were a stocking lady from the start. As a
man, I think it would be interesting to hear a 'day in the life of' that
describes in detail the experience of wearing stockings, or that perhaps
compares and contrasts stockings to pantyhose. Of course there are lots
of stories out there in the X archives, but they are not true to life.
Maybe you or a female fan of your site could write something to be
posted.
Keep up the great work
Tom
Mercedes,
First of all, THANK YOU! your web sight is the most
wonderful thing since the garter belt was invented. Then there is you,
your legs encased in all of those sexy stockings with the high heels,
OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH-----------
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! THANK YOU,
THANK YOU,
THANK YOU!
Now, to my point of view about women who wear stockings,
garters and high heels. I really do love it! I believe that women were
made to wear these types of garments. That is why you look so very good
in them. I am not a sexist or believe that women belong in front of men
just to satisfy us. On the contrary, I love seeing business women, in
business suits with the stockings, garters and high heeled pumps! Oh I
just love it.
I wish I could get my wife to understand the way dressing
like that makes me feel! I love to see her dressed up like that but she
just won't do it. I have even went out and bought her the stockings,
garters and high heels to wear, and she just won't do it :>( I have
even told her how much this turns me on and how sexy she looks in them,
but to no avail! I am at a loss.
I am glad that I have found your sight and some of the links
that you have. We moved to a state that has the same thinking as my
wife. Unfortunately, we live in a state, Delaware, where the only way to
tell the difference between the men and women are; 1) what kind of chew
they have in or 2) what kind of cigarette is hanging out of thier mouth
(the women usually chew Levi Garrett and smoke Camel lights, the soft
pack). So I really am desperate and and so very glad to have found your
sight.
Once again, THANK YOU so very much, I can only say THANK YOU
for allowing me to see what you wear, it is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
David
P.S.
If you run accross any women, in Delaware, who want to show me that I am
wrong, please E-Mail me.
Hi Mercedes......
Well first, I would like to say that just by seeing your pictures, I
instantly fell in love with you.....
You look so incredible in stockings, and yes, your heels bring out the
best of your curvy legs.....of any women's legs.
I am Ron, and I am from the northeast, NH to be exact. I love seeing a
woman's legs in stocking's....all kinds....it makes my heart beat faster
and my hands get sweaty with anticipation of what is underneath. I
always find myself staring at a woman adorned in silky leg wraps.
Nothing is more sensual.
In medieval times, all woman of any kind of stature wore stockings...it
must have been an incredible time to live. I can honestly say that
almost any woman I see wearing stockings, I can't help myself and start
wondering if she is wearing a garter belt....and than I always try my
best to find out what the truth is<WINK>....and a few times I have been
successful.
Thanks for the opportunity to say my piece, I always wanted to say that
to someone....
Ron
Dear Mercedes...
Thanks for writing back....and no, I live in the city of XXXXX, Ohio.which is
north of Akron ( I read on your site that you like to know where people are...so
please plug in a thumb tac for me....I
would be so honored!)
Anyways...as I thought about the question I asked you even before you answered
it, I came up with some of my own conclusions. So I will share them with
you...no need to write back...only if you wish.
One reason may be the trashy reason you mentioned. The other, however, may be
the following. The primary difference between you, perhaps, and my wife is that
you see your
lingerie as part of your fashion...it is part of what you wear...what makes
you feel good throughout the day. We all have our favorite outfits...while I
wear suits for work, I feel most relaxed and myself in a good old pair of
levis. In the case of my wife, I believe her underwear is just that,
underwear. And while I have bestowed her with a wide assortment of gifts from
Victorias Secret, when she gets dressed...she looks at her lingerie simply as
a foundation. Maybe it is strange that I even care what she wears. But not
only do I buy her lingerie, I buy her most of her clothes as well. It is just
something I take an interest in as I try to bring out all the beauty I believe
she has. But that is the idea I have to overcome. I have actually thought about
buying
her some theatre tickets and wrapping them in stockings as a prerequisite for
attending the event. I try to be imaginative, so I will try to figure
something out.
After reading through your site I do know one thing for sure, I stand a much
better chance of seeing her adorned in loveley leg lingerie than I do of
seeing preparing the firewood for the winter!!!
You have a great day and thanks for your note.
They dont make women like you any more I guess. I love the site
and have
the same fellings that you and your husband do. I always comment on the
way things were when women wore these items of visual pleasure. They
have got to be the sexiest things on earth. I have to beg to get my wfe
to wear them. Any woman whodoes has my respect and admiration, not to
mention my full attention. Thanks for letting me know that I am not the
only person out there who enjoys these things.
Dear Mercedes,
I confess I must agree wholeheartedly with your views on stockings, legs,
lingerie, and fashion photography. By the way your husband, apart from being
an exceptionally lucky man, is quite a notable photographer. We all envy him
greatly! But back to your thoughts on stockings. You're quite right in
thinking that men are drawn to the mystique and texture of stockings. Their
pull is nearly palpably magnetic. We can almost feel the tug with our eyes!
An accidental gust of wind or perhaps a slight slip on the heel will draw
men's eyes like a bee is drawn to flowers. Your site is filled with images
that inspire men to poetry!
Thank you again for bringing the glamour back into stockings!
Another ardent fan!
Rod
Dear Mercedes,
First of all congratulations on a great site. It's good to know that there
are so many kindred souls - both male and female - out there who also adore
silky stockings and feminine lingerie. Being British, I'll make no apology
for using UK terminology in my humble contribution, but I hope it will
still prove equally useful to our transatlantic cousins!
I personally have been crazy about silky stockings (especially 50s style
fully-fashioned) and suspender belts ever since my teens, and when at age
17 I had my first real "encounter" with a woman, it was with a girl a
couple of years older than me who was already a confirmed wearer of those
wonderful underthings. That finally did it for me and I've been a hopeless
case ever since - and I'm proud of it! To me there is nothing more
beautiful, alluring and sexy to admire and to feel than a pair of female
legs encased in sheer, silky stockings held in place by nicely taut
suspender straps stretched across smooth, feminine thighs.
I've always counted myself fortunate that (with one solitary exception),
the women I've been involved with over the years have all been more than
happy to share my passion with me. I'm now married and my wife often
dresses up for me in suspender belts and sheer stockings, both in the
bedroom and sometimes when we go out, which in its own way is just as much
of a turn-on!!
Many guys though aren't so fortunate, and even women often shy away from
wearing stockings and suspenders, citing them as "uncomfortable",
"impractical" or "whorish" - most of which is down to
ignorance because
many of them don't know how to wear suspenders & stockings correctly. It's
true - I learned very early on from a lovely lady to whom I'll always be
eternally grateful that there's a "right" way and a "wrong"
way to go about
things here!! So, having learned from my own mistakes, I thought that by
writing in I may be able to help some of you other guys out there to avoid
the same pitfalls when you're out shopping for sexy attire for your
favorite lady.
Rule number one - never buy cheap garbage which will make her look and feel
like she's just staggered in off Sunset Strip or the Reeperbahn. For
instance, some of the stuff you find in sex shops may look sexy, but always
feel the texture before you buy. Imagine wearing rough-edged plastic-feel
lace around the vital parts of your anatomy and you can start to see the
problem. Shiny satin and silky textures are fine, but always go for good
quality which is soft to the touch. The extra expense will be worth it
because she'll appreciate it too.
Secondly, when it comes to suspenders, always buy a well-fitting belt with
metal clasps if you can find one. They're less common and usually a bit
more expensive than belts with plastic clasps, but are less likely to break
and they tend to stay fastened more reliably. For bedroom activity,
suspender belts with the usual four straps are fine. But for normal wear
for longer periods, try to find deeper suspender belts with six or even
eight straps. These hold up the stockings at more points around the top,
making them less likely to slide down the leg or twist round. One common
mistake made even by women is that when they have belts with just four
suspender straps, they fasten one at the front and one at the side of each
leg. So the back of the stockings becomes a problem, with them slipping
down and becoming generally uncomfortable, leading to cries of
"impractical", "horrible to wear" and "give me back my
tights"!!! All of
which is totally unnecessary because greater comfort is achieved just by
fastening one suspender at the front and one as far back as possible, with
the strap stretched across the rear thigh. This in turn means that the back
suspender strap should be adjusted so that it's longer than the front one.
Having a suspender fastened at the back is particularly important when
she's wearing fully-fashioned or other seamed stockings, otherwise the seam
won't stay straight for very long. It's also important that the suspender
straps shouldn't be too short, otherwise the stockings will inevitably pull
down the belt. So avoid belts on which the suspender strap lengths can't be
adjusted. One final point which I should mention about suspender belts and
lingerie in general is that if she likes wearing tight-fitting dresses and
skirts, avoid garments with lots of frills and bows, as these would show up
big-time through her outer garments and are therefore totally unsuitable
for normal wear. I hope this has been of some interest or help to someone.
Most of it's common sense and there's no great mystery attached to it. But
its astounding how many men make elementary mistakes when out buying
lingerie for their ladies. I know - I've done it myself in the past!!

I have just discovered your wonderful website, and I assure you that I will
be a frequent visitor in the near future!
Thank you for your commitment to bring the pleasures of legs, garters, and
stockings to those of us that are enlightened enough to fully appreciate them.
The absolute worse thing the makers of women's garments has done this century
was to get women to wear pantyhose! There's nothing any sexier than a woman's
shapely, sculpted leg in garters and hose. The classic high-heeled pumps
completes the feminine look. Oh that all ladies everywhere would wear hose and
garters and fine hosiery.
Thanks for listening; thanks for a very interesting website. Hope to
hear from you real soon. You are one beautiful lady, and your husband is one
lucky guy,
Hugs, Ricky
Your pixs are truly beautiful, I agree with your statement that
women can win
the heart of a man by wearing ultra sheer hosiery and garters!!!! It's so sexy
and to the touch it's electric for the guy, I love to feeel my way up a woman's
leg wearing ultra sheer stuff and especially under a satin slip.
Delicious!!!!

Dear Mercedes
I wanted to write and tell you I think women dressed in garter and stockings
are a real turn on for me. I have been married for 13 years and when my wife
and i got together I told her that I hated pantyhose. I asked her to wear
garters and stockings when we went out, knowing that she didn't have any i
borrowed a garter from a friends wife and bought her some stockings. Since
then she doesn't wear panty hose, i help her get the garter adjusted for
length, and showed her how to have the straps go under her panties so she
could pull hers down when nature called.
Due to a house fire 6 years ago we don't have the selectiion that we did, but
are working on it. For the larger ladies who like these items Lane Bryant
stores and Victoria Secrets are also some good places to purchase sexy things.
Thanks for the Good Work

Dear Mercedes
Thanks for your lovely site - this is what the internet is all about! I've adored stockings & suspenders (as we British call them) since my early days at secondary school (age 11-18). The sight of the older girls with their short skirts and their long legs covered in sheer black nylon, filled me with a mixture of dread and fascination. At the same time, I was getting into girlie mags. These were full of stocking-clad models, but I especially remember a striptease sequence in a copy of Fiesta. One of the shots showed the stripper lying on her back with her leg raised. I loved the combination of shiny nylon-clad leg and the white naked thigh above the stocking-top, and I quickly realized that this kind of underwear was going to dominate my sexual fantasy life.
However, before long I also realized that I was looking into a lost world - for those schoolgirls I so admired were not wearing stockings at all - they were wearing tights. This was the early 70s, and pantyhose was sweeping the world. It all seemed so unfair - women had worn stockings for centuries, so why give them up now? But nothing we men could say was going to bring back suspenders, especially in view of the rising influence of feminism.
It's a sad story, but a fascinating one. One of the best parts of your site is the "Women's View" section. I love to read what women think about stockings, especially if they belong to the generation that were part of the changeover from stockings to pantyhose. What were they thinking of when they first put on a pair of tights? How did the men in their lives react? The more there is about this, the better.
I hope to write again soon. I believe this is a vast and also important subject because of what it says about male-female relations, but most people are too embarrassed to talk about it openly. I also hope to find some more images for your "Famous Women" section.
Keep it up!
Yours,
David
Mercedes,

You're absolutely right in what men used to enjoy and that's the mystic of a
women in
stocking, garters, lingerie. Your pictures bring back nostaliga when the
excitement of undressing a woman and foreplay with the garter belts, stockings,
bras, panties, and etc. made the most exciting time is lovemaking. To me there
is nothing more arousing than pictures like yours, outside of when my wife
dresses up for me.

Hello Mercedes,
I really enjoyed your website and believe that it is the best on the
net.
My feeling is that a woman wearing stockings and heels is both sexy and
sensuous. She is showing off her legs which men appreciate. The swish of nylons
and the look of dark (black) nylons is something that can't be beat ! In a
business situation or a social situation, it commands the attention of men
around her. It is a powerful attraction!!
My wife wears sexy black stockings and it has enhanced our life
so much. When she wears them to work, she attracts a lot of attention!
Keep up the great work, Mercedes !
Dennis
Mercedes,
You have got to be one of the best looking women on the face of the
earth, next to my wife. I stumbled across your site looking for quality
lingerie for my wife. Lucky me!!!! I would like to stress my feelings to
you on stockings, garters, heels. Nothing in the world is more beautiful
or sensuous as a woman dressed so elegantly. In my opinion garters and
stockings are so classy. Therefore by looking classy maybe we tend to
feel classier. I think it must boost self esteem. I know that I feel
better about myself when my wife feels better about her self. Oh well, it's
just a thought. I will be checking back at this site. You are
beautiful! Keep up the excellent work.
P.S. I'm 30, and reside in Calgary, Alberta Canada.
What an impressive website! Your site is now number 1 in my
books. I'm a
fairly old fashioned type ( 25 year marriage with no cheating, etc.
etc.) who, being born in '52, was conditioned, I suppose, to find f. f.
stockings quite pleasing to the eye. I could be in a room with twenty
"attractive" naked women and be yawning, but if a "plain"
looking women
were to wear rht or ff, I'd have to look away not to "lust in my
heart".
I find time to surf through sites like yours about every three weeks on
average, as it's stress free nostalgic escapism (and great eye candy).
Your new "famous people" page fills a large void in hyperspace for
people who enjoy the 1955-1965 "look". Thanks a lot for the work.
Take care. Best wishes, Roy
Hello M,
I'm in one of those 40,000 feet about the ground type moods. No one to talk
too, and nothing but my thoughts so.............I'll ramble on and write what
comes into my head and then read it for myself to see if I've said anything
that makes any sense. Have you ever done that? Write, not knowing what your
writing about or writing about a problem and through the course of
writing...you actually discover your own thoughts for the first time?
OK, let see.....since your site is about the love of stockings, lets see!
First of all let me say that I love women.......what I mean by that is that I
adore women, or quite frankly have always been intrigued and in awe of women.
I find them interesting, intriquing, mysterious, and yes, some I'm also even
attracted too..ha. Anyway, about stockings.....I love seeing and the thought
of a lady wearing stockings and always have. Now I've tried to understand why
I don't feel the same about panty hose.....when you think about it, panty hose
makes a ladies legs look terrific just like stockings do, but yet I don't
think of them in the same way as stockings. If a ladies legs catch your eye
and as you admired them....if she were to lift up her dress and show you that
she was in fact wearing panty hose, I would feel cheated or that she was
cheating.....as if to say yes, I have great legs, but look its all a
trick.....I'm cheating! I know that sounds stupid, but....
Maybe when I think about it more, the thing with stockings is that when a lady
puts them on it can be very sensuous.....as she works them over her feet and
slowly up her leg.....if a man is attracted to a ladies legs which I
am.....this vision or image of a lady doing this is very sensual indeed. When
you think of panty hose to the contrary.....I invision a tug of war...a women
yanks them, pulls them, wiggles in them....until she has those things up. I
suppose you can't deny the utility of pantyhose, but I much prefer to know
that the legs to which my nature calls me to are slowly caressed by sheer
stockings and that each stocking is shaped by the lovely curves of a shapely
leg.....even when a lady takes them off they seem to hold the shape and image
of that lovely leg vs. the shriveled up little ball that panty hose become
when extracted. So anyway, all I know is I love a lady in stockings because
I know that they sensually cover and enhance the true object of my
attraction.....her legs.
So with all that rambling I should add that I do have a theory about seamed
stockings and why they seem to grab a mans attention. Men have many
instictive attractions to women most of which they don't understand....I've
read a few articles trying to explain all this and the only ones that kind of
make sense say that men have unconcious attractions to the angles of a ladies
face and figure....the shape of her breast, the lines of her face....the
shape and lines of her legs...Well if that is the case and a man is attracted
to the shape or outline of a ladies legs which I beleive to be true......then
the idea of putting a fine black line over the shape of a ladies legs..would
tend to enhance that shape...as if you were to outline any object....it stands
out even more. So in my mind a seam following the natural shape of a ladies
legs.....would enhance that which the nature of men is attracted too.....
I guess thats enough said about stockings huh...and when I read it, it doesn't
seem to make much sense so..... Maybe I'll take an in-depth review of panties
and bra's sometime in the future!
SS!

Congratulations Mercedes, last time I visited your site was year ago, (more
less) and I found new chenges and I think is great. Now I know why people call
you the Queen of stockings.
I want to ask you about the picture of Lady Diana, I am a fan of her and also
about stockings, so when I see the picture my mind was so excited. I want to
know if you got more of her or where can I find more. Please mail me and tell
me.
I love my wife wearing stockings and love when she show it in public. I smoke my
marlboro and my wife keep the box in her stockings top, so when I ask for a
cigarrette she pulls up her dress or skirt and take one for me. My friends also
ask about for one and she do the same,
Coul you imagine how much they smoke? It is very funny see their faces, so glad
to me when she do that.
One day we went to a funeral, and she wear stockings with a back seam. Her dress
was not too short but she wear it without slip, so the garters
and stockings top showed through the dress. every body was looking at her. Some
women feel jealuos with their husbands. But after that event, more women wear
them (5 or 4). World can change, it is up to you..
I hope to hear your answer and your coments about my little history.

Hi Mercedes,just saw your pictures on the internet, and what a
mistake women are making by wearing pantyhose. As a leg man I think that
garterbelts and
sheer stockings are the most sexiest thing for a woman to wear at all times if
they want a man's attention. My wife will wear them when I ask her to with no
problems, she knows it catches my attention quickly. Take Care!!!
TED

Hi Mercedes,
I just wanted to drop you a line to say how much I enjoyed your website
and that I agree with you that women should wear hosiery more
frequently. Whether to make themselves feel good or as a turn on for
men, either way works for me (and should for them). I'm a true
Legs-Man!! Give me a pair of legs with nylons and heels any day (with
everything else of course). Don't get me wrong, I like adult material
as much as the next guy, but there's just something about that
lingerie..... Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm!!! Keep up the good work.
Sean
Dear Mercedes,
I'm a 26 year old male who loves women wearing garter belts and stockings,
and other related lingerie. Ever since I was 13, I was captivated by them. I
love the way they slide down their thighs and buttocks. The way the garter
hold the darker band of the stocking in place just revealing a little bit of
naked leg, and the way the stocking shapes and accentuates their legs and
feet. I feel more women should wear them. For one, they will get more
attention from men and they will feel more sensual, sexy and confident in
themselves. Plus it will show off or heighten their features to the fullest.
I feel that this be true on "big boned" women. I feel it makes them
more sexy
and erotic to look at. My ex-fiance, was in that catagory,but she hated
wearing them. She felt they were to complex to put on. I think that it is a
cop out, but that;s my opinion. Women in stockings get my full attention
compared to the ones who don't. I find myself, when I am out, looking at women
who have on dresses and wonder if they are wearing stockings and a garter belt?
Sometimes I can tell by the way the garter buttons show or when they walk there
is a slight wrinkle on the ankle. If these women knew I knew, they would find me
at all my senses to their wants and desires. I feel that these give excitement
to sex, and heighten pleasure for the man and in return it
gives him the boost to please the woman. At least that's what it does for me.
Anyway I just wanted to say that I love women in garters and stockings and
that you are a very sexy woman. I thank you for the website you provided for
guys like myself can see and appreciate women who love to wear "real"
lingerie, and hope that it becomes popular again like it was in the 40-60's.
Thanks, Sincerely
Steve

dear mercedes,
You know that I was often on your pages. your site is very nice and I love to
see there are women around the world that wearing stockings. Last month I found
an internet fashion store that trading with books, posters, pinups, coats,
garters and full fashioned stockings. I have ordered three pairs in different
colours and gave one pair in brown with black seams to my girlfriend. she is a
really leg girl and loves to go out in high heels and short skirts. You must
know: i´m 28 (homeboy), she is 42 (betty). Well, she didn´t know what´s
happen. "what in devils name should I do with this old cloths?" she
asked me. I tell her from your site in internet and logged on to show you in
full fashioned nylons and heels. "very nice prints, really sexy." was
the answer that she gave herself. Hours later we go out into the theater. she
dressed on a black dress without sleeves, long black gloves, black high heels
and: full fashioned stockings, brown with black seams. i´ve thought all men in
the lobby look at my wife. It was a very nice evening and next day cames the
continuation. I gave her the other two pairs in black and grey. she smiles over
and know she is wearing stockings at each opportunity. theater, cinema, eating
out door, ... , and at the office.
Sorry, I know my english is little hard to try to understand.
Best regards from germany

I have always loved seeing a woman wearing stockings with seams, just
something sexy
about them. I travel to work by bus and one day when I got on the driver was a
young girl driver, not unusual except she had a uniform skirt on not pants
like they usually wear. As I sat down I noticed she had full fashioned seamed
stockings on. I could not take my eyes off her legs. When I was getting off
the bus I thanked her for how nice she looked, and for making my day. She
smiled and said I would see her quite often because this was her new route. I
wanted
to run to church and light a candle! Everyday for a week she wore seamed
stockings, either blue or black to match her uniform. I finally asked her out
and we have been going together ever since. I love that this girl always wears
stockings either ff or rht (these not to often) with open back shoes. She
always jokes and says she would like to start driving a tractor trailer, I
told her I hope not as she won't be able to wear a skirt. It doesn't matter she
would
wear stockings under her jeans as she does that now sometimes anyway, with shoes
not work boots. I just wanted to share this with you and thank you for your
site, it
seems really good.
Tom
Hello Mercedes,
I just wanted to say you have a great sight. You asked the question what
men like my self enjoy about women in stockings.
Well , I for one enjoy the feel of smooth nylon on my hands as I caress the
legs of the woman which wears them. Also there is nothing more enjoyable as
to see a little out line of a garter strap and the stockings tops as she
slowly crosses her legs as the swoosh is heard.
And finally, to really know if a woman is wearing stockings is the slight
bit of wrinkle at the ankle.
Regards
RFHT
Hi Mercedes, it's me again, thought I would finally explain why a
woman dressed in a garterbelt and stockings has a very unusual effect on
me. First I'd like to say I've just turned 20, I've been turned on by
garterbelts and stockings for several years now, (seeing them in movies,
television, etc.), anyway, I suppose that to have hosiery, which is sexy
in itself because it accentuates the curves of a leg and smoothes it
out, and to see the stocking end at the thigh, just the sight of an
uncovered thigh which is usually covered by hosiery is extremely
provocative, especially the sight of the little garterbelt barely
holding that piece of hosiery up on the leg. I know this sounds vague, I
can't explain it anymore than that, I just know that almost any woman,
dressed in stockings and garterbelts, has complete control over what I am
thinking of when I am looking at her.
Sincerely
-Eric
Dear Mercedes,
First I have to tell you how much I enjoy your site. My wife Shannon wrote in tell you her point of view, now me. Nothing as sexy or classy as a lady wearing stockings. First thing I noticed about Shannon was her legs wearing seamed stocking and heels, making her legs look like they never ended. But when she sat down and revealed a glimpse of stocking top I knew I had to meet her. Lucky for me I succeeded and with a great personality and humor I was definitely the lucky one. When she wears stocking out head do turn and look. So to you and all ladies who wear stocking I say THANK YOU! To all men reading this who wish their wife or girlfriend wore stockings. Buy her a nice set of lingerie, not like a friend who went in a adult / sex cloths store. Remember she has to feel comfortable and classy.Buy her a garter and stockings with taste. Probably not seamed at first as it could seem a little risky at first. Try and buy her a set of lingerie she would like, satin or lace not first off leather or PVC. Remember you don't want her to wear them only on your birthday and father's dad. You want her to buy more and feel sexy not only for you but to others as well. Lucky for me Shannon wore them before I meet her and has added to her lingerie drawers ever since. Now those racy outfits like basques, corsets leather and more are worn not only for my pleasure but to turn other heads as well.
Regards, Jim
Hi Mercedes,
Found your site by accident and just wanted to drop you a line. You have really nailed it with your thoughts on stockings. From a man's point of view, there is nothing sexier than a woman who is wearing stockings and a garterbelt rather than pantyhose. On the rare occasion that I run into a woman who is wearing them, I end up thinking about it for hours. I guess it never occurred to me to mention it to my wife, but she has great legs and I am certainly going to speak to her about it. I'll send her to your site!
Regards,
Jim
Dear Mercedes,
You "seam" to be the modern day answer to every 40+ year old man's dreams. I just turned 50 this past December, but feel like I am only 25. And it's a matter of attitude. I am not old because I don't allow myself to be old. I enjoy life and try to wring the most out of every day and every moment.
Nylon stockings and garter belts and open bottom girdles are vestiges of my past that I can never forget and refuse to forget. As a young pup, learning my way, the most sensuous thing in the world was the slick, smooth feel of a nylon clad leg, the shine of a truly fine nylon, and the knowledge that later that evening that I would be running my hands over the knees, upper thighs and legs of the lovely lady next to me.
I am one of the old farts who truly feels remorse at the invention of pantyhose. They have nothing to do with femininity but all to do with restriction of the mind, body and soul. I hate them with a passion and loathe the day and the person who invented them. I am blessed in that I am married not only to the woman of my dreams, but also to the woman that has made me the happiest I have ever been in my life. She is 9 years younger than me and grew up knowing only the pantyhose culture. When we fell in love I expressed to her my penchant for "real" nylon stockings. Without a word, she went out and bought stockings to my delight. I purchased several garter belts for her and she wore them for a couple years without ever a complaint. Later, I learned she did not like the garter belts, but would gladly wear stay-up stockings wherever we dressed for any occasion. This is a compromise at best, but the stay up stockings today, from Gerbe, Oroblu and Victoria's Secret are so truly wonderful that I will never complain. She is radiant when she wears them. I am, of course, the proudest man in the world because I "know" what is under her skirt or gown, while others wonder. The femininity of this woman is almost staggering at times. There is nothing I wouldn't do for her , give her or work myself to death to provide for her. She is as feminine as a woman can be and I am as appreciative as a man can be.
I wish pantyhose would be outlawed forever, for there just isn't anything in the world sexier, more alluring, more endearing, than the woman you love in nylon stockings.
Todd
Dear Mercedes,
Maybe I can write something for you to use (or not) as you wish:
"The curve of the shoe, convex, leading the eye along to where the nylon starts. My eyes follow in fascination at the rise of her foot, up into that high, high heel. What is it about heels which flatters and accentuates the leg? I shall not analyze because I want to concentrate. Her legs are crossed, parallel, modestly together. The shoes are white, one leg idly jogging as she sits and talks, unaware of my gaze. My eyes want to stay with the beautiful curves of her feet, but at once they want to move upwards.
At her ankles there is a slight crease of nylon, a sign that this elegant
lady is wearing stockings. Many think these creases are unsightly, but to the
true devotee. They are a clue, a sign that this is a sophisticated lady, aware
of her sexuality, aware of what she can achieve with her swish of lace and the
rasp of nylon against nylon, aware that men like me will watch her every move,
hoping to catch a forbidden glance of darker nylon, or maybe a suspender bump as
her skirt is pulled tightly across her thighs. She does not need to show
anything, since the knowledge that she is so self-assured and confident to wear
these wonderful garments without concern about other women's protestations that
they are unsightly, unsexy, uncomfortable. This lady knows the truth. She has us
gripped, rapt, with
eyes for no-one else in the room.
My eyes travel upwards, the shades of light and dark as the nylon is stretched by her legs causing pleasing patterns up her lower legs and towards her knees. Can I shift my position without being obvious? Get a better look? Could she be wearing seams? My pulse is racing, can she hear it? Is she aware? Surely she must be - she reaches a finger and scratches an imaginary itch on her leg, making that noise, making me want to touch, to stroke, to press her stockinged leg to my cheek.
My mind is in record, focussed to preserve her image for my me to experience again and again when she has gone. My eyes travel higher. I see the way her skirt angles away, the slash of her thigh revealing yet concealing. Damn the light, I want to see! Can it be I can see that telltale darker band? Why do I need to see it? If she was wearing a bikini on the beach or short shorts I would be seeing much more, so why do I need to see this? The forbidden? Something I am not allowed to see? Stop analyzing, you fool, concentrate on the moment.
And then she does it. She moves. Her legs part, the cross, the moment is gone. What did I witness? Did I really see her pale thighs above her stockings, that fascinating combination of light and dark at the reinforced tops, the taut suspenders crossing her thighs to dark, forbidden recesses above? Maybe, maybe not.Maybe I'll just convince myself I did.
And then I notice her. She has seen me! I am caught! Yet here is sophistication indeed. She is not outraged, shocked, annoyed. She knows I am hers. Her smile has won me. The smile that sees this panting, palpitating man and just says innocently "did I do that?"
Stockinged ladies of the world we love you. But let us know, huh? You dress to be appreciated, so let us satisfy that desire.
Ian
Dear Mercedes , only me again just caught another part of your site. I am from London England.
Stockings have always had the edge on tights(pantyhose)as they were previously better quality and you could always tell just by looking at the legs "what was on" . A nice frilly or lacey garter belt is a lot better to view , when a skirt or dress is removed than hose wrapped around a waist no matter what the quality.The best bit though is to caress a thigh and go from the stockings to the bare leg .... mmmmmmm nothing beats it.
Hope that helps a bit !!!!
Peter O'D.
Hello Mercedes,
You are currently asking for us mere males to write extolling the virtues of stockings as opposed to tights (pantyhose). From the WWW it seems that there are some men who actually prefer tights but I would think that the ratio must be about 90% in favour of stockings. Why? A good question. I think from my own point of view there are two main reasons:
1) With a little luck one can catch glimpses of stocking top in every day situations without the wearer having to have exposed herself to any major degree but, being something that the wearer would not normally show, there is the forbidden fruit aspect. Exciting for the voyeur and the revealer without really being embarrassing. (I think this is one of the reasons I get such a kick out of sighting slips as well) I have had the enjoyment three times recently of spotting women wearing stockings as they walk down the road. In each case there was no deliberate flashing on their part, purely a glimpse when their skirt flapped open or from behind when the slit at the back of their skirt was high enough to show the stocking tops. I think in each case they were probably hold up stockings rather than the wearer having suspenders (garter belt) on but I'm not complaining.
2) The other main reason is really when in more intimate situations ones partner can be fully accessible (if you take my meaning!) whilst still wearing stockings and the sensual thrill of running ones hands over nylon from toes to thighs and then to feel the lacy suspenders and follow them to the ultimate delights is too strong a feeling to resist
If I were king I would ban all women from wearing trousers and tights for ever.
Best Wishes,
David
Hello Mercedes,
I made it to the web site yesterday for the first time in a while and it looks as if you have developed quite a following (and I thought Tom and I were the only two in love with you!). I know the men are crazy about you, at least the ones that aren't blind but reading the wonderful letters from the ladies is refreshing. A woman who truly has self-confidence should not feel threatened by you. After all I married Barbara because I appreciate beauty. I love to read why the ladies enjoy wearing stocking too. They really should make the ladies feel sexy and if they could understand how aroused a husband or boyfriend can feel then more ladies would wear them. The rest of the word wouldn't even have to know.
Once Barbara and I went out to eat and she didn't wear any underwear. I could hardly eat for thinking about what would happen when we got home. Going to Victoria's Secret while she tries on undies is a real turn on too. Just thinking about what she might have on in the dressing room can be a real experience. I think that it can be the same way for a woman that wears stocking for HER man, just the fact that he knows and no one else does should make her feel "special".
Keep printing those letters, I REALLY enjoy knowing how the ladies feel and what makes them wear stockings. I think stocking are about the sexiest thing a lady can wear. I even rate stockings about thongs. I thing a lady with a cute tush (such as yours on the fire truck) looks great in a thong but the stockings are the whip cream on the banana split.
Your fan,

Mercedes,
Thanks for a great site!! I'm so happy that someone has taken up the cause for stockings. Women definitely look much more appealing when they are in a garter belt and stockings.
I was very disappointed when pantyhose became the trend, because women lost the ability to flirt with their legs. I can not think of anything sexier than a finely dressed woman allowing her skirt to ride up just enough to reveal the top of her stocking or a garter. I can remember the days when pantyhose hadn't caught on yet but mini skirts did. It was perfectly acceptable for a lady to show a glimpse of stocking top and garter.
Mercedes, my favorite look is the lady in business attire with black or taupe stockings and a white garter belt with white lace panties. Only she knows what's underneath her skirt and she can reveal all or nothing as she desires. I know several women that dress this way, but they're not consistent. I've shown them your site and they're beginning to understand just how nice they look! Perhaps you could do a photo set dressed this way.
Well, keep up the great work.

Hello Mercedes,
My name is Kevin, and I live in Florida. I love your page, and while I haven't ordered any sets yet I intend to soon.
There is something very, very special about a woman wearing stockings with her ensemble of lingerie. She has so much more of a sophisticated look about her. I find a woman in stockings to be classy as well as sexy. When she wears a short skirt, and just the slightest hint of lace appears, it's as if she is saying, "I did this special for you". Some people think that stockings and garters are the costume of a stripper or hooker. Quite the contrary, most times a stripper will avoid such an accessory because it gets in the way of what she is doing, stripping. A hooker may wear stockings, but it is because she knows that men really like them and that most wives or girlfriends don't wear them for their men.
You can always recognize a lady in stockings by the way she carries herself. She has a way of saying I'm special, and the man I share myself with I will make feel special too. I hope this says it for you. It's hard to sum it up, because it's not all about anything you can describe. It's a feeling, an mood! It's also the way I feel when seeing a woman with her legs silky smooth and shapely appearing in this wonderful translucent material.
Thank you for the opportunity to write.
Kevin
Hello Mercedes,
I have often visited your site and appreciate the wonderfully exotic and alluring photos. I am often intrigued by the failure of women to realize the enormous potential that they possess by flirting with their legs. The wonderful hiss of nylons as they cross their legs. The smooth silkiness of their texture. The absolute wonder that attracts the male's attention to the area immediately above the stocking top. That creamy white skin accented by the color tone of the material. I am particularly intrigued by the color black. The black nylons are particularly effective if they are off-set by panty color such as red or yellow. In my humble opinion, pantyhose have been an evil since their inception into the marketplace. While they might have their place in some fashion scenes, they do nothing for me as a mature male. They might as well be footy pajamas. I women in nylons and a garter belt will provide more stimulation and interest to a male than any set of pantyhose possibly could. I hope the women of today will finally see the real picture and start to dress accordingly.
Thanks for giving me this opportunity to express myself..
Joe- a leg lover.
Dear Mercedes
I never see women dressed as gorgeous as you. Why don't more women dress in heels and stockings. On the rare occasions I see them I "U" turn to take a second look. Women are so powerful dressed this way. Anything they want is for the taking when a mans chin is on the floor. Please come and be my secretary in the UK.

Dear Mercedes
First, I feel so very fortunate that I have the wife I have. Early on in our 25 years of marriage, she learned of my fascination for a stockinged leg. Imagine my surprise when she began to occasionally wear them! As with most, my interest in the stockinged leg was formed early on, and by my junior high/high school years, my appreciation for them was well catalyzed. The Kansas City area had a "Dress Code" for school during those late 60's, and for girls it specified dresses/skirts only. My, my, during those high school years, daily I was offered legs that were a "sheer" delight, and legs that "meshed" quite well with my nylon interests! I dearly loved World History... there we would sit in semi-circle rows... and opposite me were several young ladies! Let me tell you, the then-current rage of mini-skirts in conjunction with stockings (pre-pantyhose era) was a young leg lovers paradise! Oh how I loved it when we would began to study, and the young maids opposite would cross their legs. There, under the guise of "reading my book"...my eyes could feast on the nylon banquet a few short steps across the aisle! I recall pleasantly the "swishing" sound their stockinged legs would make when they subconsciously would move their legs together. Also, they way that, later in the afternoon, oft time the young Misses stockings would be quite twisted here and there. Sometimes, if you happened to be lucky, you would catch one of them trying to "straighten" her mussed stockings... always good for a view of her stocking top and garter snap! Once, I was going down the hall during a class change, and outside it was pouring down rain. Well, a few girls ran in from outside (one of our school buildings was a short walk from the main building) and they were nearly soaked. Laughing among themselves at their misfortune, they began to take their penny loafers off (quite a popular shoe at the time) and empty the water from them. Their stockings were glistening wet, and the water would drip from their reinforced toes. As they raised their foot to remove a shoe... up would go that mini-skirt, with delightful results! Needless to say... I "found" a reason to tarry there a bit until the last of them was finished emptying their shoes! These are but a few of the things that firmly embedded the love of a nylon stockinged leg in my psyche. Enough of my reminiscing... let's return to the present time.
Thus, it's little wonder that I feel so fortunate to have the wife I have. Believe me, her willingness to accommodate my appreciation for her legs in nylon stockings adds much zest and excitement for both of us on our romantic evenings out! While it's only a memory for some, for me, legs in nylon stockings is a very contemporary pleasure. I still get to enjoy the light dancing off the glistening nylon, enjoy the shape-enhancing tone and color quality of the hosiery, as well as the titillating way the nylon will "ripple" at times when she moves her legs. And yes... I see the way men look at her legs... especially on a night she's wearing black Full Fashioned Seamed stockings! (Of course, that nice "swish, swish, swish" her legs make as she stroll seductively to the "powder room" sure helps! I tell you, it makes me feel quite proud to be seen with her!

Hello Mercedes,
Perhaps because many women don't recognize their own attractiveness, or maybe because they are not visually stimulated, as men are, but too many of them just don't seem to get it. It's the allure of the forbidden. Give me a look up your skirt and you have my undivided attention. Showing a little stocking top -- treating me to a bit of garter or a glimpse of panty -- will make you the object of my intense admiration. It's the reason guys give up their seats on the train, open your car door, or insist on following you up the stairs -- they hope (yearn, actually) to be rewarded with a glimpse of all those goodies up under your skirt
Sadly, all that most leg lovers ever get is a glimpse, and that's why I'm convinced many women don't understand. Modesty is very appropriate and has an attractiveness of its own. But because women are so intent on keeping everything pulled down, tucked in and covered, the leg-lover's appetite is rarely treated to a good long look. To know a web site where a most beautiful woman with fabulous gams invites you to look to your heart's content, is a fantasy fulfilled.
My freshman year in college is when I first fully recognized the rewards of waiting for that glimpse. My girlfriend (who later became my wife) wore the most delightfully short skirts, and in those days, a pure white long-leg panty girdle. I could count on a look up under her skirt from time to time throughout the day whenever I was with her. I'm not ashamed to say that I often maneuvered to be in the best spot for the view when it was offered.
My favorite outfit was the pleated plaid miniskirt, which responded very obligingly to shifts in her sitting position or to little gusts of wind. The short skirt covered enough to be modest in general, but was a real treasure of intimate glimpses. I also liked the "suntan" colored sheer hose, because they let me see her "legs," rather than just her hose (Darker colors and opaque fabrics tend to hide the skin of her thighs, so that what you see is the fabric of the stocking, not her skin).
She knew very well how to use the great legs/short skirt combination to keep me attentive, and the panty girdle became an important part of the tease. Whenever we could find a place to be alone, I used to run my hands up her legs just a little ways above the hemline and lift back the cuff of the girdle. This revealed the garter top of her stockings and the short bit of garter that attached them to the girdle. She let me fiddle with the garters, and I was in leg-lover's heaven. The garter top was also a heady turn-on for me, I suppose because it marked my arrival at a very intimate site up under her skirt.
I had always liked the opposite sex, from my early childhood, but I was timid around them, and she was the first with whom I had ever had contact this intimate. I was aroused with expectation whenever I was around her. Frankly, it was exhausting to be turned on all the time, but the anticipation of a look up her skirt kept my heart racing. (On rare occasion she showed up in slacks. It gave me a rest for the day, but was always a disappointment. It should be against the law for women with great legs to wear pants.)
My favorite spectator sport was detaching the stockings from the garter and then watching as she re-attached them and smoothed down the cuff again. I felt like I was honored to be allowed to watch this intimate and distinctly feminine routine. And when the skirt was finally laid in place over the normally "off-limits" thighs, I had a thousand mental images to enjoy again and again when we were apart.
We never really considered going "all the way"; we were sexually innocent and just playing. But the game was wonderfully pleasurable and often left me light-headed with arousal. When pantyhose came along a couple years later, the views got racier, but a lot of the allure was gone. I loved those days and still regard the view of garter top with a tinge of arousal!
Your web site brings back those old feelings: your beautiful legs, your distinctly feminine lingerie, your unmistakable class . . . and your ability to make it all look and feel like a stolen glimpse . . .wow!
Regards,
Don
Hi Mercedes!
I don't normally do this, but I just HAD to send you a message telling you how truly breathtaking you are! I'm 48 and grew up looking at the beautiful women of the 50's and early 60's posing in high heels, stockings and garter belts! YOU are absolutely BREATHTAKING wearing them, and YOU are absolutely right! A woman is NEVER more alluring than when she is wearing these! It makes a woman look absolutely incredible! When I see a beautiful woman in heels and stockings, it just makes me glad I'm alive..and that I'm a man!
Keep up the good work and remember...when you're right........you're right! If I can ever be of any assistance, please let me know.......I can't believe it took me this long to find your site!!! YOU are a GODDESS!!!
Your admirer,
Tom (In Ga.)
Good day, No! Great day!
You've done a fantastic spread here. I have just been enjoying your site and must say that you are gorgeous and have my taste for sexy lingerie. Nothing enhances a woman's figure better than the stockings & garter. I got my wife to start wearing s&g while on honeymoon in England years ago and she now has quite a collection. I must tell you how we got a newlywed into wearing this lovely stuff. My wife became friendly with a young woman at her work several years ago and many times when we got together would comment on my wife's legs. That they looked so good in her pantyhose. They weren't pantyhose they are ff stockings my wife told her. Kim, our friend hadn't ever considered wearing stockings but after my wife showed her the full view and explained what it does to ME and probably all men, she became more interested. Anyway, to cut a long story short she came over one evening and allowed me to take two rolls of film (in the presence of my wife) of her wearing many of my wife's garments. This 20yr old gave them to her husband for their first wedding anniversary. However, at first her husband got mad at her for posing and wouldn't talk to me for some time. But he now thanks me for the new look his wife has. Both my wife and Kim now enjoy shopping for new lingerie together.
A quick question if you can find the time to answer. In some of your shots you have on some of the most beautiful stockings I have ever seen. The white ones with the fancy top. You state they are from Dugan Brothers. Where can I get these? I live in Canada but get to Niagara and Florida frequently.
I hope your site opens other peoples minds to how much better a lovely woman looks in s&g compared to pantyhose.
Best of Luck,
Pete
Mercedes,
Just surfed your site... and wanted to say.... I love it...! You are a beautiful woman... that is obviously very creative.... And you have wonderful legs too...! I wish more women would understand the impact of garter belts and nylons on the male libido... maybe relationships would last longer..? maybe the excitement and passion wouldn't burn-out...?
Thanks,
David
Hello Mercedes,
I'm writing to you to thank you for the outstanding job on your website.:-) And you are absolutely right....And I being a male, Think that women ARE more beautiful and appealing when they dress sexy, And tease you a little... ;-) But me, I like a lot of teasing..*L* Hey, Without it, What do you have? I mean sex is good, But after awhile, Where is the excitement? I'm really a leg man, And their is nothing else in this world more sexy than a women in a nice pair of nylons. *drool* But let me ask you a question..:-) A little flash and a little nakedness isn't that bad every now and again is it? *L* Before the Uhhhhh..Should I say Bumpkin uglys...Anyway, Please keep this site up and running. It is one of the best sites I have seen in a long time.
Xavier
Just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed your site. There is nothing in the world that interest's me more than the sight (and feel) of a woman's legs clad in stockings. Naturally, my attention is usually on more mundane things as work, kids, laundry, business, taxes, life in general. But nothing can distract me quicker than a great pair of legs<(:-))
Thanks for sharing yours with me!
Joe
Dear Mercedes,
First, I compliment both as a beautiful woman and on having a great web site. Your views on stockings and garters, lingerie, heels, etc. should be made law! Seriously, I sure wish there were more women in this world who shared your views, and I love the fact that your putting your message out for all to see. Unfortunately, it's probably mostly appreciative men like me rather than other women who look at your pages. Based on your viewer mail, however, there must be a few more women in the world like you. Sure wish I could find one!
Again, thanks for your great attitude, and also for sharing your views and pictures. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Ron
Hi......I am a true lover of women in garter belts and hose. I purchase them
all the time for wife and love when she dresses up and we go out on the town. It
gives me great pleasure when she gives me a quick flash of her stocking tops and
also how other men really enjoy it when they may catch a peek also. Nothing is
finer than a long pair of legs wrapped in a silky pair of stockings attached to
a garter belt. keep up the great work and I`ll make sure I show my wife how to
access your web page.

Hello Mercedes!
Speaking from personal experience, most women I know consider stockings to be
a particular perversion of their own partner. They do not seem to realize that
about 99.99% of men find stockings attractive and alluring. Pantyhose may be
more convenient to wear but they lack a certain basic femininity, look at what a
stocking over the face does for a bank robber, that’s what pantyhose does for
your bottom. Stockings add to the grace of the female leg, by giving it extra
colour, shape and texture; while the garter belt with its attached stockings
forms a frame and erotic focus around that area of the female body that is the
ultimate target of male desire. Please remember that the visual and tactile is
very important to the male libido. But it’s not just in the bedroom, the sight
of a stocking top is pleasing and mildly exciting at any time and in any place.
Men do not find women attractive just because they wear stockings; stockings are
an enhancement to their existing beauty, without wanting to sound patronizing,
it’s like the icing on a cake. Take Mercedes for example, without stockings
she is very beautiful and with them she is still the same basic beauty but with
an added dimension of colour, texture and focus.

Hi, Mercedes:
Boy, do you bring back memories of those "golden days of yesteryear"
when all females wore sheer nylon stockings. That phrase from the Lone Ranger
ought to date me....I grew up in the forties and started High School in 1949. I
remember the war years when the girls used pancake makeup on their legs and
penciled-in a seam with an eyebrow pencil, just so it would look like they were
wearing nylons (nylons were pulled off the market in order to support the war
effort....nylon was used to make parachutes). But, their much-cherished
stockings came back in spades in late 1945. A pair cost $.50-$1.00. Girls
started bugging their mothers at 11-12 "when can I wear nylons"?
Usually by 13 they were allowed to wear nylons and semi-high heels for special
occasions. This was the thrill of their life. They were now a grown woman.
Seeing stocking tops in those days was the norm, not the exception. The female
conception of stockings then was that they were to cover the legs below the
skirt, not the entire leg. So the general practice was to wear stockings just
above the knee. You can see this in Gil Elvgren's Pinups from the '40's and
'50's. All it took was a slight swirl of the skirt or a sitting position to show
the tops. This was not considered an invitation or a suggestive gesture....after
all, the tops were part of the stockings. The atmosphere was very puritan in
those days, and this didn't seem to violate any social ethics. It actually
seemed like the girls enjoyed showing their stocking tops as much as us boys
liked seeing them.
One of the favorite skirts back in those days was a full skirt with a 2 to 3
layer taffeta petticoat underneath to make the skirt stand out. This was easy
for her to handle when she was standing, but when she sat, the front of the
skirt would rise about 18". Wow, what a view. And a favorite dress shoe for
girls was the "ballerina", which was nothing more than a thin silk
slipper. Now, picture what it was like to see a 16-17 year-old girl in a full
skirt, dark-brown full-fashioned nylons and ballerinas. It was a pleasure to
open the car door and seat them properly....it was the best show in town The
usual date then was the drive-in movie. Like I said before, the atmosphere then
was puritan, particularly for us teenagers, but boy was there a lot of groping
In the middle of winter it doesn't take a lot of heavy breathing to fog up the
inside of a car's windshield, and I sat through three years of classic movies
without seeing any of them. It was usually acceptable for a boy to put his hand
as high as the stocking top, since that was in plain view, but any further
excursion would usually result in broken fingers.
Wow, have I been rambling. You see what a "glimpse of stocking" does
to me. They were the most sensuous pieces of "clothing" that a female
could wear. And then they traded them for the comfort of pantyhose. Actually, I
think that there are more reasons than comfort involved, but I'll save that
philosophy for another day.
Mercedes, your webpage is a breath of fresh air for me. Look for a check in the mail as I'm going to order some of your beautiful photo-sets.
Jim
Hi Mercedes,
First I would like to complement your on your beautiful and shapely legs. Being a leg man myself, I find yours to be very soothing and stimulating to look at. Thank-you for a nice web site. Nylon stockings give a women's legs better shape and adds color to them. It also has a pleasing touch to the man who has the pleasure to be able to have a woman close enough to feel their legs. A pair of nylons also makes a foot much more shapely. Last but not least a pair of nylons needs a nice pair of heels to complement them as you have shown in your pics.
Thank-you
Jim
