How many sightings have you had??

How many stockings sightings do you reckon you have had over time? I reckon personally I have so far had about 300 - I know I am incredibly sad for remembering - but I have been fascinated my stockings - particularly the seamed variety ever since I can remember, in fact for me they are the epitomy of fashion and elegance.

I cannot really put a finger on the first time I saw a pair of seamed stockings, but I was pretty young I think and just the view of the seam travelling up the leg and disappearing under the bottom of the skirt was just awesome, from that time I onwards I was hooked, growing up in the early eighties certainly helped as a lot of ladies were wearing them again and I had many many sightings at this time.

One of the best memories I have was of a girl I dated back in I think 1988 - we went to a disco, and when she turned up she looked awesome in black stockings (she always wore stockings) as we left her house she turned around and there were the seams - awesome!

When I first started work in Liverpool in 1991, I was working for a smallish company at the time, pretty much as an office junior - the job was awful and badly paid, but I spent a huge amount of time out of the office going around to other firms picking stuff up and delivering things - at the time seams had come back into fashion again and I had a huge amount of sightings during the year I worked there - even seeing some genuine fully fashioned stockings at times - but they are stories for another time.

There were a number of ladies who worked for the firm and initially I was unsure whether any were stockings wearers - one of them in particular used to wear shortish skirts with black hosiery (I genuinely thought they were tights due to the length of her skirt) anyway one day I had to go to the bank with her (she was the accountant) and as we headed out of the office I caught the glorious sight of the tops of her stockings through the split in her skirt - they were the style of stockings with the plain two tone welt - very much like RHT stockings. After that I pretty much spotted her wearing stockings daily until I left - most usually in black - there were many times I noticed her suspender bumps through her skirt at the front as the skirt was slightly too tight.

But my best recollection was when we had to go for a meeting in her car. As she got into the car her skirt rode right the way up and the tops of her stockings were on show - for the entire journey - which was over an hour! both ways. Now for a young 18 yr old this was unbeliveable - I cannot believe even to this day that she did not know she was showing her tops and I could not take my eyes off them - of course I was too nervous and shy to say anything to her but that is something I may well regret until the day I die!

Anyway, I plan to start writing about my recollections over the next few months and hopefully tell you about all the sightings I can remember - what they were, where they happened etc - hopefully you will all be interested.

Until then….
