>>  While I'm on the subject of rubber stockings, I figure it can't hurt to talk about them a bit more.  Remember that lovely Vogue Italia cover I gushed about?  The editorial that goes with it is finally up -- full of bad wigs and good lingerie.  And my favorite Sasha, guess what she's wearing?  Rubber stockings (though I have to say I prefer the nude to the black). 

P.S. The Uma-in-Pulp-Fiction 'do?  It's really starting to grow on me. 

>> So... funny story.  I was in the local bookstore a few months back, checking out all the new magazines, when I decided to pick up Z!nk.  I came across this photoshoot called hypnagogic, which contained these couple of images:

I took one look at the stockings these girls were wearing, and fell in love.  I had to have some.  I jotted down the brand name, and skipped all the way home to my computer to see what I could find.  Lo and behold, the brand name came up when googled.  Giddy, I clicked... and found myself at a fetishist site.  Apparently that rubbery appearance that I loved so much in these stockings was due to the fact that... they were actually rubber.  Now I know that this is not practical for everyday wear (rubber stockings = leg sweat = no-no), but aren't they the coolest things you ever did see?  And let me just say that if I ever get to reprise Jane Fonda's role as Barbarella... I will be wearing these stockings.
