Dyeing Pantyhose With Kool Aid

Several weeks ago I was surfing the web for pictures of women showing off their sexy legs in pantyhose.  If you're reading this blog, you probably do the same thing.  I've done this a thousand times at least.  But this time, I found something that I had never heard off.

Dyeing pantyhose with Kool Aid.

I had never heard of such a thing.  It seems that people have been using Kool Aid to dye all kinds of things, most notably, yarn and hair.  However, there is at least a couple of blogs whose authors have experimented with dying pantyhose.  They also mention using food coloring.

I really enjoy seeing women wear colored pantyhose.  The thing is, I don't seem to see many women wearing them.  There really doesn't seem to be much available when looking for colored pantyhose.  You can find colored tights everywhere.  But opaque tights and pantyhose aren't the same thing.  Hell, I have many pairs of colored tights myself.  I have seen one or two brands out there, but they're not cheap and I've never really considered buying them.  But what if I could make my own?

Soon, I was in a store looking for Kool Aid and food coloring.  I thought that food coloring would offer more versatility when it comes to colors, but I didn't want to have to explain to my wife why I'd bought food coloring and the brand that I found didn't seem to come in resealable tubes.  So, I went with the Kool Aid.

The blogs that I'd read on the subject stated that they'd used nude pantyhose and suggested that white pantyhose or tights might work really well.  So, I decided that I'd try both, nude Leggs Sheer Energy and white Merona opaque tights. As I've mentioned, I already have colored tights, but I thought I might come up with something new and potentially exciting.

The directions sounded simple enough.  Boil water and add the Kool Aid.  Then ad the pantyhose and stir carefully.  Continue heating in the microwave, being careful not to boil the pantyhose.

I bought four packs of strawberry, four grape, four blue raspberry and four lemonade.  One site mentioned using lemonade to dilute colors.  I thought it'd be best to have it, although I didn't use it.

I read that it didn't really matter which red Kool Aid was used.  They're all basically the same   I added one pack of strawberry and dipped my nude pantyhose into the red bath and stirred.  One pack seemed to turn the water sufficiently red  I used about four cups of boiling water.  Then I reheated it in the microwave for one minute and stirred.  I repeated the process several times.  The pantyhose soaked in the strawberry Kool Aid for between 45 minutes and an hour.  Then I rinsed them in the sink.  The "instructions" that I'd read said to continue rinsing until the water ran clear.  After awhile it seemed to be generally clear.  The pantyhose were red.  Not dark red, but they were sheer red.  I hung them to dry.

Next I decided to use the white Merona tights.

I just knew that the white tights would really soak up the color so I used two packs of Grape Kool Aid.  After a little while, I realized that the color wasn't even on the tights, so I added a third pack of grape to the water and reheated them again.  After more stirring and heating it became apparent that they weren't going to color evenly.  After rinsing, I hung them to dry.

I decided to dye one more pair of pantyhose,  I went the the Blue Raspberry.

After starting with one pack of the blue raspberry I thought a second one was needed.  When I was finished the pantyhose looked a little closer to green that blue.  But I was happy.

From left to right.  Strawberry pantyhose, Grape tights and Blue Raspberry Lemonade pantyhose.

It's not quite apparent in the pictures but the grape tights are a little splotchy.  The have a somewhat tie dyed look   They also still smell like grape.  I will be offering these for sale soon.  So let me know if you're interested.

In the picture below I'm wearing the "strawberry" pantyhose.

In the next one you can see my "grape" tights.  I really do like these.  I just don't know if I can get away with wearing them in front of my wife, especially since they smell like grape.  As I mentioned, the color didn't come out solid.  They really are splotchy.  It just doesn't show well in the picture.

Anyone out there ever tried this?

Merona Morracan Leather Opaque Tights

I recently purchased a new pair of tights.  I picked up a pair of Merona Morracan Leather Opaque tights in 50 denier. They're really dark.  Much darker than the Leggs coffee colored pantyhose that I love so much.  I fell in love with them. I've been wearing them for the last two weeks around the house.  On Saturday I decided to slip on one of my thong bodysuits ans shoot a few pictures..

More Photos

I've been so busy lately that I haven't had much time for my blog, but, here a a few more recent photo's.  Be sure to leave a comment if you enjoy my pictures and blog.

It Takes Awhile To Post

It's rare that I take some pictures and then immediately post them to this blog.  Usually, it takes me a week or even longer before I post pictures.

The picture below is a perfect example.  It was taken April 1st and I'm just getting around to posting it.  Also, if you'll check out my You Tube page (as mostlyleggs) you'll notice that I'm slowly adding videos as well.  The videos were shot on April 1st as well.

This picture is from the best set of pictures I've taken in quite a while.  At least that's my opinion and since I'm the photographer and the model, my opinion is the one that counts.  I actually like this picture.  I think I've come pretty close to looking like an actual woman in this one.  I'm sure if you look closely, you can probably tell, but I think I'm close.  What do you think?

Check back soon as I'll be posting more soon and don't forget to check out my new videos on You Tube.

April Fools Day

I was lucky enough to have April 1st off from work and be home alone as well.  It's been quite a while since I've had the place all to myself for more than a half hour or so.  On this particular Monday I was alone for the day.  I hope you can guess what I did.

I set up my digital camera and my video camera.  It's been quite a while since I've shot any video.  I thought that since it was a warm day that I might step out on our back deck and show my legs to the camera and the You Tube world again.

Keep in mind that every time I go outside like this, I'm really nervous about a neighbor seeing me.  Trust me, I don't want that to happen.
 

 I"ll be posting more on this blog as well as you tube throughout the the weekend, so check back in later to see more.

This Past Weekend

We finally had a warm day.  This was more a test than anything.  I'll post more later.

************************************************


So I went back inside and slipped on my black Leggs Sheer Energy pantyhose and took a few more pictures.

Between the two, I really like the Merona Wine Celebration tights.

Wearing Pantyhose And Tights

Lately I've been concentrating more on taking pictures instead of blogging like I originally started and intended to do.  I honestly never intended to have a "photo blog".  My original plan was to tell the world about my fetish for pantyhose.  At first I wasn't even sure that I could post photos.

I'm going to try and get back to the roots of the whole thing.  But, in the meantime...

The first few pictures that I took today were without tights or pantyhose on at all.  The only thing I was wearing was a bra.  Which I have practically become addicted to on the weekends,

Once in a while when I'm playing dress up, I use this little technique to give myself a hard on.  All I do is stretch a pair of pantyhose and stroke back and forth slowly on the underside of my soft dick.  Back and forth.  It doesn't take long to give me a hard little dick.

You may be surprised at how many different ways I've played with my pantyhose.
