Who brought you the scoop first? That’s right indies, it was your one and only Fashionindie team! Websites and newscast rooms everywhere can’t believe what their hearing about the Mantihose movement. We still can’t believe it either, but come on you’ve got to love it, we brought you this story weeks ago!

check out the CNN video

Remember the horror? I know I sure do. Then again, the scars from Mantihose would be a pretty tough thing to forget. News has it demands for Mantihose are on the rise. In fact, the desire for Mantihose is so high, websites simply can’t keep up! Legwear4men has reported that their running out and it’s becoming an issue. What? How on earth is this possible; I really just don’t understand. Stop the Mantihose!

There’s a movement coming in! The pro men pantyhose movement that is. E-mancipate has emerged and their bringing their army. E-MANcipate is an online site dedicated to “[accelerating] the acceptance of male pantyhose as a regular clothing item.” Look at the site and, I have to say, it seems like it’s a joke gone bad. The “movement” features pictures, articles, and personal stories from hose wearers. E-MANcipate does admit it may be an uncomfortable idea to get your head around. Yeah, tell me about it. “I don’t know what they were thinking. I mean, wear what you wish. But to make this a trend? Let’s get real! I’m not sure why men would even want to wear pantyhose, it just makes no sense.

“Finally an issue that has only positive sides! Men will be healthier, sexier; women will be happier, the hosiery industry will explore a new market, and the consumption-driven economy finally recovers,” says E-MANcipate!

*The most important use that they failed to mention on the website, is that they’re also great for robbing banks!
