I was over on Dee-lusions of Grandeur. And a new friend of mine, Helena had left a comment that part of which pertained to a conversation a few weeks ago that took place on Caitlyn's Masks. It was about the lurkers that come and look at the work but never leave a comment. I want to tell you that Helena brought up a very good point from the whole discussion. If you comment and participate you will feel better. I know that sounds like I am fishing for comments. But I assure you that is not the case. I want everyone to know that you are all welcome on my blog. If you comment or not I will still produce my captions. But I will say a little comment can go a long way. I know there is a fear in the back of your mind that there is some way this will link back to you. Again I assure you there is no way that will happen. A anonymous comment is exactly what it sounds like. And believe me when I say this to you all. This community is so welcoming, nice and understanding that once you begin to participate you will wonder why you didn't sooner.
With all that being said, I had a very productive evening and will be posting captions throughout the week.
Now I have a question for anyone to answer if they can. It isn't a secret that I love nylons, pantyhose, stockings and tights. All colors and designs alike. My question is, how come some nylons have a cheaper finish to them and some have this wonderful smooth finish like the one's in this image? I mean they are all sexy but some just seem to have a better finish. Is there a glossy chart you can use when buying them? I would love to know. I know if you buy cheap you get cheap. but even some of the cheaper one's have a glossy finish and look amazing. Let me know. Thanks and I hope everyone has a great day.

Beautiful caption, pity some guys don't appreciate the best things in life.
ReplyDeleteKatie, Thank you for mentioning me, it was actually that discussion, which originated on Britney Shagwell's blog, that got me over the threshold, and I started commenting on a more regular basis, instead the of the one or two comments a year. The appreciation I got during that discussion was great. I got new friends, That led me to Rachel's Haven, where I met you. Another a great new friend.
So anonymous people, you who would want to show their appreciation for a caption artist, a comment is all it takes. One word can be enough. You don't even have to sign it, but if you do (how is up to you) , eventually you will be more involved, because you will be remembered.
Believe me, I know how hard it is to make comments at the beginning. A few weeks ago, if given the choice, to go with my head through a concrete wall, or make a comment, the wall looked the better option for me. I didn't try that by the way;-)
As to your question about the differences in nylons, I recently saw an episode on Discovery Channel of 'how it's made' on the subject, I found it on Youtube. For you. I don't know how to put a link up in a comment, but a little copy and paste should do the trick. I hope it works, and you get the answers you seek.

Thank you for a comment and your insight on being active in the community and the haven. I am so happy you decided not to put your head through a wall and leave a comment. ;)

Dearest Katie,
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why - when you see a woman wearing a pair of hose that you admire - you need to ask her what brand and style they are! And when you do find a pair of these super-sexy glossy hose, let me know, because I want them too.
Ciao! Elise
I will do Elise. The same goes for you if you ever ask. I really would love to hear what happens.

Katie,
ReplyDeleteWhile I won't swear to this, I think I remember reading that the glossy factor is achieved when lycra is added to the nylon, with the standard glossy mix being 88% nylon and 12% lycra. I hope this helps. (And is correct.) :-)
