Niqkita's Sock Journal

Two special requests fulfilled…

I love your site! so many of the styles you carry are things i can’t
find elsewhere. hence my question about a pair of particularly hard to locate opaque tights.
I used to have the most amazing pair of tights with one leg black and the other one purple. i fell one day and they ran like no one’s business but i wore them regardless, until my boyfriend did laundry and threw them out.
I’ve not been able to find them again and was wondering if you had seen them anywhere? i believe they were made by leg avenue, but it could have been music legs.

Hello, I am looking to purchase a pair of socks that are very light grey with slightly darker grey stripes. However, your site doesn’t have socks quite like these. But that’s not going to stop an ambitious costume maker such as myself from finding a way around that. :) So I was wondering, what do you think is the best way of fading out socks? I was thinking of purchasing the grey and black socks and fading them, but I’m not sure how I would go about it. Thanks much!

I don’t think fading them would work well, but here’s what we came up with…

M stripes in grey & dark grey, I like them!
I also got the M40s all set up on the M page with the two colors that just got here yesterday, red & natural. More new stuff tomorrow!

Men in socks…

Hello niq.
I have two pictures to share with you two. In these pictures, I’m wearing my 50 inch white crazy long socks. The socks are pulled waaaaayy above my knees!! I’m also wearing black shiny gothic boots. It was a hot and humid day. I visited a nearby town with some places side by side. Numerous buds, including some girls, have looked at me, waved and said hello to me. I think they admired me because I’m wearing long socks and boots. There was a mirror at one of the stores. I took a picture of my legs. I thought it was an interesting way to show off my boots, as well as my socks. I think because of the humidity, my socks stood way up without moving a single inch. I know you’ll like these.

Ah, Dan, I think these are your best shots yet, thanks for continuing to help us prove that even men can enjoy our unique & comfy socks (even on a hot & humid day)!!!

I love the Ozone Striped Skins with the faux Leopard cuff!!! These are OTKs on most, even me most of the time, they stay in place nicely on my legs but may not on smaller ones, and I find the new orange to be stretchier, more breathable, and generally comfier than the older grey and black stripes!
See that lovely leopard cuff? On these orange stripes, it’s thick and slightly poofy, just adorable!

I wore these out for coffee and got many compliments and comments, as usual. Of course, I told everyone to come here and check us out! :) Then I came home, kicked back, and relaxed…

Have a nice, easy Sunday, folks!
