Thereare some ladies' articles of clothing that just plain make good sense. In the winter, I usually wear thigh highs. I got some 50 denier ones from MyTights, that look like regular men's dress socks where the public can see them when I sit. I find them much more practical than even silk long underwear beneath a suit, because the longies tend to bunch up at theabdomen. And no one need know that they have a fancy lace top. Now that I am tight lacing, I sure don't want to deal with anything extra beneath the bottom of the corset.

What I find slightly intersting is I have been wearing a corset for a few months now I am glad to see it is finally coming around.

I did like this one bit from the article: "But the real inspiration behind Nuffer's corset -- laced up the back with a clip-open busk at the front -- dates back to the heady days of the 1789 French Revolution. Male followers of utopian philosopher and economist, Count Claude Henri de Saint-Simon, at the time adopted the corset precisely because it was impossible to lace up alone. Having to help each other with the ties symbolised the humanitarian helping-other ideals of the Saint-Simonien movement." Don't know if it's true, but the I love the idea of a bunch of idealistic French dandies wearing corsets as a symbol of their beliefs...

well you're seeing a lot of women and girls going out to clubs with cheap, H&M versions of corsets- or corset inspired tops, but not yet the men. ALthough i'm really liking the return of wearing tailored vests in kind of a sendup of formalwear to informal events. what can I say, I like dressing up ;) hmm...now i'm going to have to toy around with wearing my corset to more everyday events....hmmmm

I found the article to be pretty smarmy in its view as well. My sweetie wears a corset often. I love it. I'll even post a photo of it here--it's one of him wearing it at Burning Man. He also wears kilts--and has a nice skirt that he wears from time to time as well. I mean really--is this so shocking to anyone at this point? Women have been wearing what was always considered "men's" clothing for decades now---why shouldn't the guys get a shot at what they like that we wear?

well, that particular story was full of annoying comments, and the photo pretty uninspiring, but yeah, they're hot in them.

Men in corsets and kilts, now that's high fashion.
