To all the fetishists who found my photos of myself wearing tights:
I don't know how you all found me, and I'm well aware that I can't stop you from looking at photos I chose to post on the internets and ... doing whatever it is you do. Don't tell me; I don't want to know.
That said, please stop writing to me. I am not flattered that you like my legs. (I like them too and that's the only opinion I care about.) I am not going to tell you my age. (You would be disappointed if you knew. Really.) I am not going to email you more photos. I am not going to wear specific tights at your request. And I am definitely not going to join your online fetish group. (Though I am amused by the very existence of a German fetish group for photos of women wearing woolen tights. What will they think of next?)
Let's make a deal: You boys do your gawking and wanking in private and leave me alone. And in return I'll leave the photos where they are. This arrangement will give us all what we want: you get to stare at my legs and .. do whatever it is you do. And I get to pretend you aren't there. But if you insist on writing me all these creepy messages, I'm going to have to take the photos down. And then where will we all be?

they're sending you emails? ye gods.
Does it divulge my lame brand of male-ness that the first thought I had was "tights? aren't those just for fall and winter wear?" ;-)
Just send them to the carolina rollergirls website. I'm sure that will get them off (cough) of your back.
Yes, Phil, it does.
daaamn. if only they could also find the photos of your tattoo!! ;-)
Oh God. Yes, as you know I have an obsessive stalker - which is one reason I don't post pictures of myself (last time I did he took it, drew blood all over it and posted it on one of his crazy sites - nice.)
This sounds less personal and more, er, fetishistic though. German WOOLLEN tights? Yes, hard to know how to respond to that one.
Best of luck with getting rid of these lunatics.
Oh my gosh, Karen, I didn't know that about the photo. How disgusting and scary. I hope you contacted the police -- though what can they even do if he lives in another country?
I think you should publish their letters for our amusement.
Lisa: I haven't been saving them, but there has been an upswing lately (which will probably increase tenfold when the keywords in this entry hit the search engines).
Phil: Yes, demonstrating that you are not a creepy fetishist makes you *so* lame.
Wow, that's kind of disturbing. May I just say that when I viewed the pictures of you in tights, I did not become aroused. But they are certainly nice tights.
I hope the creepy messages stop soon!!
ur legs are shit anyway
oh no, some random creep thinks I have bad legs? I was so wrong ... I do care what strangers think about my body. I do, I do, I really do! I'm going to hide in bed and cry and eat an entire bag of fig newtons.
Or not.
So how is John anyway? My, I haven't heard from him in years.
He thinks my legs are shit, but otherwise he's great. Oh and he's crushed that you called him John instead of Paul, when we all know George was the coolest Beatle.
lmao, what are people like?!
my boyfriend likes stockings, you think it's the same thing?
Whatever next? :)
I am proud of you sharing these great pictures and even more so you views of your admiration of tights. Not many ladies do that.... Oh, forget them creeps and toss the creepy e-mails, Most likely from easily stimulated little (mentally) boys.
Once again - Thanks for sharing
thanks for all the tights pictures! i wish you would take more now that the weather is getting colder. If you need more let me know!
dear tights fan: please learn how to read. thank you.
Not a leg fetishist; just another girl who likes tights. Yay, stripes!
I wanted to mention that wearing "footies" (e.g., Peds) under your tights makes them last much, much longer. Of course, finding footies that fit is another story entirely--I usually have to snip the elastic on them in a couple of places so that they don't cut off the circulation to my feet. But it's worthwhile if it keeps the few remaining pairs of my most beloved discontinued Donna Karan tights going for a few more years.
that is a fantastic suggestion! Thank you!
Dear Sarah,
Your tights project is very cool - I like it very much. Performance art on the web, somewhat. (Is there a name for this & I'm just hopelessly dim?)
I love tights too and my range goes from black to brown, the only ones I never turned my nose up at were DKNY. In my more prosperous days I had at least 20 pairs at once - many still in the wrapper - I used to hoard them. Recently I opened an old unworn pair and the waist was totally gone - so distressing. Sunday I went wild and bought a pair of raspberry Hue sweater tights at Lord & Taylor. We'll see.
I think you should find a gallery space and do a show. Good work.
Thanks,
CD
i feel for you, having a bunch of sickos e-mailing you all the time, it's like the bots in chat rooms.
have the perverts stopped asking for your tights? But i agree with that one guy, you should post some of their letters to you for our amusement, i know i'd laugh myself to death
Ha, I love tights too, but I never considered myself a 'fetishest' being female. Maybe I need therapy?
Hi Erica! As long as you love wearing tights, not drooling over photos of other people wearing them, I think you're OK!
Tights rock and make women look adorable as a whole. Thanks for your interesting Tights project
