Outfit of the Week #62

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

This week's Outfit of the Week we are featuring a sporty attire this time!

Thanks to Nat for the photo

Just in case you do not of who I am referring to, it is the model to the right side of the photo.. well not a model.. which actually turns out to be me... Hahaha! Well I was wearing the specially made dri-fit T-shirt that was given to me, running shorts(Which we call them FBT shorts) and Activskin A866 full support tights with fly.

"FBT" shorts

The "FBT" shorts provided really solid flexibility while running and for my case, running plus climbing the 73 storey high hotel and the A866 tights by Activskin provided support to my legs as I scaled up all the way to the top! 

This outfit style will be recommended for our friends who live in the western hemisphere to try during summer as it's getting really cold there now. 

Would you do it?

Weekly Vibe #96

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #96! Wow it's just 4 more to #100! I really hope you guys had a great week! I was really glad that I could take a few hours away from work and go to the gym earlier and coming home early to spend time with my family members at home! 

I decided to put on hold wearing the A535 from Activskin with shorts because I realised I got a little of a scab on my knee but I'm still happily utilising my opaques! I know I still could wear the sheer A535, but I wanted to try being "stealth" for once after being so "open". Hahahaha! 

I recently also registered for the Swissotel Vertical Marathon for this again which will happen in November this year! And needless to say I'm going to be wearing Activskin's A866 for the marathon like I did last year!

I recently received news from UK Tights that Charnos and Jonathan Aston has released a new line of fashion tights!

I am not too sure if we guys are able wear them openly like that with shorts without looking too radical but hey I'm sure we can get something like these for our girlfriends/wives too right? Hahaha! Click here to shop for Charnos and here for Jonathan Aston. 

Well that's all I have for you guys! Have a great coming week!

Thanks for reading!

Just Arrived : Activskin A866 & A535 tights

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

My order from Activskin's A866 & A535 tights recently came in! 

Looking really forward to testing them and reviewing them, you probably be wondering why I am saying them? Yes I have written review on the A866 before but I realised that wearing them out today on my trip to the gym, I have noticed some interesting changes! And it will be briefly mentioned together in my review on the A535!

See you soon!

Welcome to the 82nd edition of Weekly Vibe! Today(Sunday) I attended the 20th year anniversary's National Vertical Marathon, this time I climbed the One Raffle Place building at the heart of the Central Business District. 

Before the marathon

My target!

After the marathon, totally drenched from my own pespiration!

I once again as usual enlisted the help of ActivSkin's A866 Full support Tights for my marathon. Oh and in fact! It has been the same pair I have been wearing since I took part the first vertical marathon last year, and that's how well they can last, though there is just tiny hole in the feet area, everything is still fine, I'm going to get myself 2 new pairs soon!

This week I also ended my Start course for my Russian language class, now I am able to introduce myself, ask for directions, describe my family members all in Russian! :D! I will be looking forward to the next level of Russian language lessons next month! 

UKTights is offering a special deal on their Silky Textures Thermal Acrylic Tights, don't wait till it is winter to prepare, they are already going at 5.50 GBP and 2nd pair half the price!

Weekly Vibe #32

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to the 32nd edition of Weekly Vibe!! Firstly I wanna wish the Fathers Happy Fathers' Day! I just made a realisation that the ActivSkin A866 tights are really awesome as if you guys might know, I wore the A866 for the National Vertical Marathon last Sunday and I just totally noticed that I didn't have leg cramps at all! I mean wow.. I climbed 40 stories! The A866 are really awesome for sports, you can read my review on the A866 here.

Earlier today I was wearing my Nylonica Linea 70 opaque tights which PantyhoseHQ sent for reviewing purposes(I usually wear them for a day out before writing a review) and I had a friend who randomly commented on my bottoms and said "Cool pants!" well since I was like on my way out already and I said "Thanks mate!" Before I could like process myself fast enough telling him "dude, they aren't just pants but shorts and tights!" Hahaha!

I would really want to hear from you people.. Like seriously what do you want to see in this blog?

Please comment! :)

That's all I have for you this week and have a great Father's Day!

Thanks for reading!

Weekly Vibe #31

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to the 31st edition of Weekly Vibe! I hope you all had a great week! I had a great weekend this week! It started off for me being at one of the World of Tanks event at the Wargaming Command Centre, to my amusement, they actually sent the media team from St Petersburg, Russia to film for the 15th anniversary for Wargaming and I decided to say hi to them in Russian and they moment the ladies saw me, they were all over me!! Well because I was wearing one of the FPS Russia shirts "Professional Russian" and they start snapping photos of me and with me! Hahaha! Oh and obviously of course, I was spotting a Cette Dublin opaque tights which was sent to me by PantyhoseHQ with my shorts of course! Anyways for some funny reason, I was like the object of attention to the Russians as they just kept filming me playing World Of Tanks and some random moments! They even got me to "act" playing World of Tanks and having bunch of "calefares" acting with me "supporting" me whilst playing. Hahaha! What a day Saturday!

Photo with one of the media team people from Wargaming. Isn't she nice?

Sunday was also the day I had to go for the National Vertical Marathon, which I registered a few months back! It was my second time doing a Vertical Marathon, the last time was a 40 storey housing estate and this time it was a 41 storey office building.

It was indeed quite an enduring time I had for about 20 minutes(I guess?) climbing the 41 stories as I didn't have anything to eat at all in the morning and I just had a small cup of 100 Plus before the climb, as compared to the 40 storey climb I did with the housing estate, this one felt like a 50 storey climb as there were more steps for each level. Reaching the finishing line for me was an ecstatic yet contented feeling with very intense panting and pespiration, getting the medal was probably the best feeling I had knowing that I have finally completed it! Really a big thanks to Activskin's A866 full support tights that really helped me perform! You can click here to read a review of the A866. These are indeed awesome sports tights! 

I'm actually looking forward to doing the 73 storey Swissôtel Vertical Marathon in November this year! 

Tights does indeed play a partnership role in most of the things I do, be it for fun or for sports! That's all I have for you all this week!

In Focus: A866 Thermofabric Full Support Tights with Fly

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Here is my review on A866 Thermofabric Full Support Tights with Fly

I ordered this pair for myself and the A839 for my mum. At first look, I was kinda afraid that the tights would actually look like what it's on the picture shown above.. but thank God it was wrong! Well the fact is because I'm not the biggest fan of sheer hose.. but it is truly very opaque and what it shows on the picture is not at all accurate.. not as sheer as it is in real life! I ordered this pair specifically for running, but I suppose I would most likely be wearing them out anyways. I had a leggings kind of running tights but it wasn't sporting the compression I needed. Anyways as I pulled them up, it was kinda hard at first to put them on.. but it was kinda smooth as I slided them up my legs and also on the good side it was very stretchy, another good thing I realised was that these had the male fly, the fly seemed to have a lower denier content than throughout the parts of the hose(well I supposed no men wants it too warm down there either) I noticed that these lack a gusset.. well I'm pretty fine with gusset or sans gusset. It was very comfy when I got them on, adjustment was fine, I seem to prefer light support like the A857 than full support, due to the fact that it is easier to put them on.

The opacity coverage was pretty good, you would start to see stretch on the heels and the upper thighs, looking like 60 denier or so. These are more like 100 denier tights. I wore these out for a long jog and gosh did I get looks and some giggles. But meh I had the same looks when I was wearing my legging kind of running tights, besides.. I care for my legs and my fitness. Couldn't care what others think. I'm proud of what I wear!

Overall I'm pretty pleased with the A866 Full SupportTights. I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

They also make very good replacement for work socks if you want to consider them for a change. However do be warned that it would most likely be suitable to wear them when the climate is slightly cooler.

Just Arrived : Activskin A866 & A839

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

I received the A866 & A839 tights from Activskin on Friday, delivery time was somewhat a few days slower. Which is okay for me..

As I have written before, the A839 is a gift to my mum so I won't be reviewing on them but I asked her to give me a review on them. As for the A866, I will most likely be using them for my outdoor jogs. I will give them a review when I can.

Thanks for reading!

P.S Sorry for not posting for a long time, been really busy with my other life commitments, I will post more often when I have the time! :)
