What’s the difference between Ms & Os?
Here it is, another weekend, but this one is different…
For the past few months we’ve been taking Saturdays off and going in with two of our fastest workers to catch up on all that has happened since we left on Friday.
Today three of them started the day and I joined them later in the morning followed by Bsti & Lola and we all left by 3 and will take Sundays off til further notice.
There are 6 of us and Lola currently. One works only one day a week, one works four, two work five, Bsti & Lola work six and I work all the time or as permitted by Lola ~;) …and those are just the “real employees”. We are also blessed with 4 sock girls who write reviews here in the journal but do not actually work for us, they place orders at least as frequently as some of our best customers, all started as some of our best customers and all get bonus socks with their orders. Plus there is Olivia, without her Sock Dreams would not be as dreamy as it is and might not look as sleek either.
So what is the difference between Ms & Os and why am I asking?
someone asked through the contact us form this week…
not a common question but not a bad one either so let’s review…
an O, as in O Basics (pictured above), O Pastels, O Marled, O Chevrons & O Woolies are all Over the knees, clever nO?
Ms are mostly thigh highs, Ribbed M Stockings, M Stripes, M40s, M43s, and Super Ms, but they also include some others~ M Bootsocks & M Booties. Why is that? because originally we only had a handful of these privately made socks and they were all M Stockings, signified by their Ms which was named for me and the supplier, we both have M names. You see, in case you didn’t already know, Niqkita is long for Niq which is short for Monique which is a variation of the name on my birth certificate and is the name I have gone by since 7th grade, I am mostly only called that by people I went to school with or have worked with…
everyone else probably calls me something different.
…and that is all I have to say about that.

heehee, the name exposition always cracks me up. :) i guess it’s fair to say that M is a brand of sock, which has recently been renamed dreaM and is our exclusive label, no?

Wow, that’s pretty cool about your name. I just assumed your name was Niqkita and never questioned where the M in M socks came from! My parents really did name me Kandice, nothing more exciting here, lol.

My name really is Jamie-Lynn, hyphen and all. Never got into the whole psuedoname online thing and I never had any real nicknames that stuck.
