From: Brenda Connolly I am one of the few RL holdouts it seems that still wears hose on a regular basis as well. /me raises her hand Well, not on a regular basis, but I still wear hose when I wear a dress or skirt. I just cannot make myself wear any sort of heels bare legged. In SL, I wear the glitch pants that come with prim skirts. If the prim skirt uses a system skirt under it instead, I will add some sort of panties. I only sometimes wear stockings with my skirts in SL -- odd since I always do in RL. I seldom wear jeans, but when I do, I will wear socks. Dress slacks in SL sometimes get stockings under them and sometimes not. For the most part, stockings and panties are reserved for those times when I am wearing nothing else over them.

If I'm wearing flats or slip ons of any type, even with pants or jeans I'll usually wear knee highs or trouser socks. I'll wear socks with sneakers or lace ups. Sometimes I'll wear footies. I don't like wearing an closed shoe with bare feet for some reason. I don' care what the fashion police say, seeing a woman in a skirted business suit bare legged just looks wrong to me. I guess i am old fashioned in that sense.

Even when I'm wearing glitch pants, I still have panties on underneath. And yes, I always wear socks, stockings or pantyhose. **blush**

From: Scylla Rhiadra Well, I am speaking from a position of woeful ignorance here, never having employed one of the little devils, but . . . if it's at all like some of the male attachments I've seen . . . I think you (or your lover) can "touch" it to make it, er, "do" things? But you can probably also set permissions, so that you decide who has access? (Which is, in my mind, a VERY important thing!) /me looks around enquiringly at others likely to be more experienced in such things . . . I've tried a man's cock so I speak from experience. What do you wanna know?

I usually wear socks so the inside of my pants cuffs isn't flesh-tone. I usually wear "underwear" that is the bottom half of my shirt, so I can tuck it in to pants that aren't high-waisted.
So, yes, but not for the usual reasons.

OK the one I used started spouting off, Hmm wrong words to describe it .. okay it said something like "Roger excites Jig's penis by biting Jig's knob-end" which kinda fazed me at first. And I couldnt stop touching myself and seeing what it did. I got it to bounce up and down. Then it pronged up and the bloke I was with got all sorta excited and started really bonking it with his arrow. So I got a whole stream of gaspy phrases. Personally, I couldnt keep up with it. It was a bit like emails from the dark side. "Bite me" "Jump on me" "bend me back until I scream"- that sorta thing. I handed teh controls over to him (I think) but he was a superhero in some role play or other and he didnt want his friends to see him staring at my "tool of conquest" as it nattered on. Actually it had a life all of its own (Kudos to teh script writer, whoever you are!) and we both just stood there looking at it. I got a few pics that time so I must look them up. It looked rather cute in a park bench kinda way and I kept thinking of that group Wang Chung for some reason. Then that song started up in my head and I was confused. All in all, I recommend a purchase of a Male Thingamajig for an interesting evening.

I wear socks if they go with the shoes (hiking boots, sneakers). I would never go without socks in sneakers and pants because of that disgusting flesh tone that appears inside the pants leg cuff, whose brilliant idea was that? Also, if it's cold in RL, I seem to derive comfort from putting warm clothing on every layer of my AV. My underwear is none of yer business. ETA: And now that I've read the entire thread... THIS THREAD IS HILARIOUS!

In the same vein....do you think that it is appropriate for Michelle to go totally sleeveless, without a jacket.... when attending functions such as a gathering of world wide leaders, that have entirely different dress codes?

Sounds like an interesting experience, though. So since you handed controls over to him, even though the 'tool of conquest' (snort) belonged to you, in theory, YOU could have kept the control of it. And, it chats when touched. So if no one touched it, maybe would be silent, but then, what's the point of owning it, eh. Thanks for the insight Jig, I should have known I could ask you.

I would probably dress differently myself, but she has her own style.

Yep, I always have socks on (to avoid the leg-colored flare at the bottom of the trousers, as mentioned by others). And I usually have my boxers on the underwear layer, unless I'm wearing something else that needs to use that layer for some reason.

Well actually I've learned something here; I always wear legging type jeans, with boots. Main reason for this was because of that ugly cankle thing with flared pants bottoms. I didn't know that wearing socks would alleviate that problem. I'll make some socks and try it out, thanks.

Wearing socks just keeps it from being flesh colored. It is still there at times, just colored to match your socks.

Sometimes personal style can dictate appropriateness. I'm not saying Mrs Obama is doing that, but I think we will see a new trend. for the most part, I do like her style, even at the times where I would dress differently. I do think her style is a breath of fresh air.

Yes & Yes.
Always wear lingerie including either separate panties & stockings or the panty/stocking combination. Always wear a bra unless the dress is made in such a way the straps would show. (Can't be seen with that fashion faux pas.
I just feel more "me" and well-dressed with the above.
ETA: Does not apply to bathing suits. That is a whole other set of clothing.

From: Pserendipity Daniels PS It's Friday. Let's have a discussion about the most ridiculously politically correct behaviour that someone might suggest in the forums. This has nothing to do with political correctness. This is about people with a medical condition that this sort of flashing sends into spasmic convulsions that are potentially fatal. Sure, make fun of those.

From: Scylla Rhiadra <<<<<< hates glitch pants. This. From: Brenda Connolly I do too. They are a necessary evil. ...and this. Oh, how I long for a better avatar mesh that would do away with the need for prim skirts... or at least allow us to wear physical clothing.

I've never tried making a prim skirt. What would happen if you made the skirt flexi, but not a phantom? Or are they phantoms in the first place? Why does the mesh pass through them? It's a limitation in SL: A prim *must* be phantom to be made flexi.

From: Treasure Ballinger Prim hoo haws. Have they fallen by the wayside, now that lots of skin makers are including them in the skin itself? Or is there still a market for them? God, I hope they never make a comeback! With the way prim attachments have the tendency to "drift" as the body moves around, this makes for some seriously creepy and grotesque effects!

From: Treasure Ballinger That is another thing that makes me LOL in RL. Loquacious and chatty hoo haws. What on earth do they say? I can imagine, being 'in the moment' and have your stuff speak up with something that you may not be feeling at all........Does it clear it's 'throat' and say 'scuse me' before it interrupts? Does it talk while you are talking? Interrupt? Does the person have control over it speaking or does it speak randomly? The idea just makes me fall out of my chair laughing. You owe me a soda....and a new keyboard!
