I took some new shots of the two tone fishnet stockings, these are like the ones they wore in Chicago, very sexy! over black tights the black lace was subtle but the “nude” fishnets were enhanced.
I’m almost done making a new batch of white elastic sock garters with some nice new butttons as well as the current beauties. I’m hoping to have more of the black elastic in any day now, the new buttons are going to look really nice on black!
Today we ran out of Half socks (they’ll be back in about a week) & liquid latex (til further notice) and got the sheer black nylon knee highs back which inspired me to update the knee highs page

Cut offs…

9 october 2
One day I trimmed the wrong thread on a pair of kilt socks and put a hole in a brand new pair so I cut the tops off & use them for arm warmers. The cut off sock part has been through a few washings and isn’t fraying very badly, not nearly as much as a pair of jeans would, they are pretty much midcalves now & I find them uber comfy this way.
We’ve had some mixed feedback about the kilt socks. The worst was the one I posted a few months back (see the archives for July 13th, then scroll down to July 14th) that led to my decision to lower their price to $8. We’ve also had very positive feedback from people who needed actual kilt socks & found these to be perfect. I still don’t think they look much like the genuine kilt socks I’ve seen, but they are a fine Over The Knee that really stay up. In fact, the latest batch of ivory kilt socks is long enough to be thigh high on us average sized folk at 38 inches from toe to top, the other colors are a few inches shorter, though in another batch they may be longer. In case you’ve been waiting, the sweater socks & leg warmers are once again available in both black & natural as well as white, off white, yellow,orange, pink, purple, light blue, royal blue & navy blue, that’s alot of choices!

How happy I am to have nice purple & black stripes again…

They are an over the knee that stay up pretty well on me but will probably make better knee highs on people with legs over 30 inches long. We’ve both worn them & washed them a couple of times this past week and love them!!!

Barefoot in the rain with warm legs….

EG Smith has finally brought their amazing leg warmers back…
only in white and black so far, they weren’t able to fill my complete order, which did include pink. Fortunately for me I still have a pair of pinks from when thy used to carry them. Unfortunately for you I may run out before I’m able to get more than the dozen white & half dozen black they sent me. They call these a no foot boot sock, but if you remember the original E.G. Smith Longstocking that’s what these really are, just without feet. What does this mean? hopefully it means that they will get the original longstockings back after years of begging & pleading. I have to call in an order in the morning to get as many more of their legwarmers as I can (as soon as possible) so I will ask, and most likely will be told the same thing I’ve been told for two years which is usually something along the lines of possibly maybe, maybe this time they will say yes!
When my toes dried I put on my THROX, so comfy!!
now to update the legwarmers page with these
& the freshly restocked acrylics in black & now in brown & navy too!!!

Tonal Stripes

5 October
These are such soft little knee highs!
They come in three nice striped combinations, grey & black, fawn & ivory (the softest) and these navy & blue. They are sooo nice & soft, I’ve worn them a few times in this last week because I cannot resist them. Sadly, they are 90% nylon & a bit fragile as a result. I tossed them in the washer like the label says to and they came out a little rough, still soft & lovely, but no longer smooth, future washings will be by hand for sure. The stripes page is as finished as it needs to be for now. I’m really happy with this latest idea I’ve had for putting both thumbnails & text links at the top if the pages. Only two are like this so far, but in time I will probably switch them all over (unless I come up with a better idea). Is it Monday already!?!
it’s going to be another busy week…
More new leg warmers to add!!!

Lovely cable knit otk’s…


Ivory, charcoal & black, $8
they are a little rough, but they are 80% cotton so I think they’ll soften up with washing, I’ll have to report on them again soon, after a washing or two. They are beautiful & have enough spandex in their cuffs to keep them up nicely too. Since I haven’t made a cable knit page (when we get more cable knits I will) I took advantage of the opportunity to redo the otk socks page which I’ve never really been happy with, now I’m happy with it! Tonight I’ve been redoing the stripes page, was hoping to be finished by now, but I’m not happy with the pix I took of the new striped knee highs so I’m going to reshoot them in the morning. It’s looking pretty good, the stripes page, but it’s time to watch funny stuff on tv & get some sleep…

Good things come in threes…


Subject: Many, many thanks!

I just received my order(#4850) in the mail today, and
thought I would drop you a line or three.

Your company is one of the most well-run online
businesses I have ever had the pleasure of
encountering and ordering from. Not only do you offer
wonderful products(mmm, stripey tights), but your site
is very well put-together, functional, and attractive,
and your shipping VERY fast.

So many, many thanks for being a wonderful company, a
true pleasure to do business with, and for making my
feet incredibly happy and ensconced in stripey
goodness. =*)

Regards,

That nearly made my day!
but what really made my day was *finally* getting Sock Dreams all synchronized to FZMe(they both have the above shot of me in pink 36ers taken by my sweetie for their home page image). The socks page still needs an overhaul on both sites for fall and the buttons on SD are all the correct size, where the buttons on FZMe are still large on the pages I haven’t had reason to republish lately, they all work, they are just bigger. Now I’m really glad I stuck with my own style, it makes me happy & seems to make others happy too…
happy toes for all!!!

Three pairs…


Cable knit leg warmers, they almost fit over my whole boot without touching the ground.
White footless tights, love them more everytime I wear them & will get them in colors later this month. See how thick they are…

Black bootie socks were hidden away inside my boots the whole time,
I’m really happy with them, they stay on my feet!

three pictures
third day of the tenth month 2003
lots of updates throughout the site
it’s all coming together nicely
but I may take part of the day off & celebrate!!!

The new ad…


Same as the last except that it has an emphasis on Sock Dreams & has the new logo. It’s for the Winter issue of Gothic Beauty, issue 2 of my 3 issue deal. The third issue will have the same stuff except that it will be along the lines of Sock Dreams, fetishizing socks since 2000, just like the banner that is going on all the pages as I update them and will have the new url. Right now it is lots easier for me to have both sites be identical (at the moment they aren’t but they will be in a day or so), both versions will be a continuously improving version of Fetishize Me with the easier to say, spell & explain official name of Sock Dreams.
