Mas tights

I got an email from Miss Nik asking about tights, "We are coming up from DC to Toronto next Thursday, is there a place in Toronto to purchase tights? It's been hard to find the right tights here in our skin tone, fairly 'chocolate'!"

This information comes from Tara, many thanks gyrl! She got "Body Wrappers" Total stretch tights Ultimate Shimmer Footed ($19) at Malabar, which is downtown at McCaul/Queen. They are meant for dance/costumes. They told her they ordered them in stock specifically for those asking for Caribana tights.
Of course Legs Beautiful sells many, including Philippe Matignon which Tara got in the Jade (style) in the colour Playa Nature. They're shimmery, so the same as the ones Hooters girls wear. ($19.95)
You can also try other hosiery stores such as Sox City and Phantom Industries, both have a few locations.

I got a couple pairs of these at Micles in Trinidad & wore them for Carnival '07 & last year's Caribana. I was pleased with the low waist, very necessary for these skimpy waistbands, but they don't have any sheen to them, & they were a bit too light.

A few weeks ago Tara & I ordered online some Peavey hose - they're advertised as the (Hooters) waitress hose.

Suntan with no cotton panel ($6.49)

So they're too dark now, but I'll be spray tanning and hope to match 'em, but if I'm still too light, I'll have to find something else. I didn't order the light beige because they looked just like the Silky's I have.

So ladies, where did you get your tights, any suggestions?

Trini-in-Toronto has something to say about all this: just because you're in Canada, doesn't mean you should wear (control top) panty hose on de road. There's absoutely no excuse for wearing those control tops. Wear sheer to waist.
I steups over this critical picking apart in a way, bc frig men have it easy on de road, they don't have all these extra things (tights, makeup, accessories, bags) to worry about. However, on the other hand, I do know what he means, seeing the entire control top looks pretty awful.
