A Couple of Regular Guys Talk Mantyhose with BridgetteRaes | Blog Talk Radio

Fashion that Makes You Go, "Hmm?" by BridgetteRaes | Blog Talk Radio, June 15

Wow. I have to give great applause to Kevin Wright and Rob Stephenson, who were guests on Bridgette Raes' radio show ("Fashion That Makes You Go, 'Hmm' ") yesterday. You guys were FANTASTIC spokesmen for the mantyhose, and Bridgette was great in providing such an open-minded forum for presenting the true aspects of it that rarely makes it into the public discourse.

While we've all watched with interest as the Emilio Cavallini unisex tights making a big splash back in March. Yet despite the benefit of the big publicity surge, most guys who are wearing mantyhose were left a little cold by the bold black & white patterns (skulls, etc.) Some may go for that look, but it's far from representative of most guys' legwear styles.

On the other hand, Rob and Kevin provide the 'regular guy' perspective that most any average guy could at least listen to and possibly relate to. Rob's a phone company worker by day and heavy metal band member and DJ at other times. Kevin is a family man who has been wearing legwear very openly for years and has become a much more vocal advocate lately--as has Rob. (Thanks guys, I can ALWAYS use the help)

As it happened, Kevin was trying to contact me when she was setting up the show--especially since a segment with Chan Kraemer of eMANcipate had fallen through.  Unfortunately, I was on vacation with my family in North Carolina and more or less out of touch with the outside world.  They were looking to have me be a guest on the show, but it just wasn't to be.  No matter, because these guys were great representatives for all the rest of the guys out there who wish there were more understanding among the media and public perceptions.

It was very refreshing to hear Bridgette, a well-known fashion and radio personality, speak to the double standard that has long existed with respect to what women can wear versus what men can wear.

Make sure to listen to the interview. It can be accessed here:

Although the show is one hour in length, the segment with Kevin and Rob lasts only 30 minutes.

Again, great job guys!
