Has anyone noticed that the number of cards where the girls have bare legs seems to be on the increase. I know there is a persistent and vocal group of members who fight for bare feet in shows, and more power to them for getting what they want, but it seems to me the pendulum has swung a little too far. Attached is a snapshot of tody's carousel by way of example. Apart from Noemi Moon (slightly hidden) and Lucy Doll's knee highs all of them are bare legged. There was a day last week where the entire carousel was this way.

I am a stockings man myself and have been happy that at least one show of each model had them wearing some but that sems to have stopped.

Obviously this could be a small blip but just wondered if anyone else had any opinion.

I agree entirely.
High Heels, Stockings, Belts and Basques are icing on the cake, and I have a sweet tooth.

There is no reason to have the best of both worlds, okay so some people want to see bare feet. Surely the anticipation involved in the model peeling off the shoes and stockings (damn sexy in my view when they start off dressed and do that) just adds to the experience? There are more than enough clips per card to achieve this.

Humm, my opinion is that using a carousel as an example of what is typical is inverted logic.
surely a carosel represents what a triple diamond member has NOT bought. So how is this a
way of example'. ~ Sorry but this all sounds a tad biased to me.:-/

I have to agree with ET here. Just randomly flicking thru the other carousels, most of the girls are bare-legged. New, old or whatever cards in between seem to produce the same results more or less.

Here's a cap of the current 'blondes' one. Only 2 girls have their legs covered by anything in this week's carousel...

Edit: I forgot the Jenni Gregg giant in this one ;)

my post should read 'there is no reason NOT to....'

Actually the percentage of cards with the category 'Stockings' has, if anything increased!
(Contrary to my initial perception!)

I think the thing that Totem do not realise..is why some triple diamond members maybe like me, are only buying around 2 cards per 7 released
these days. Its not even really about the money. It is about whether one wants to clutter up more disk space with cards that offer less "pretty girl naked" than free porn does. The graph demonstrates iS has become more like a clothing fetish niche site rather than the time honoured PGN success formula for Adult. @Goldie has offered maybe a better approach ~ increase the diversity within cards.

Thanks all for the opinions, as I tried to imply in my original post I wasn't trying start a war I just was interested if anyone had the same feeling I had.

As to the above from EverthangForever the Releases part of the carousel shows all new releases irrespective of whether you have purchased them or not. I have bought them all :)

Thanks for the graph DrDoom, so it does seem to be my perception.

They should be naked and bare feet. you want stockings and high heels go get a victoria secret catilog

@172RGM

That is somewhat intolerant of other peoples views. iStripper has a broad membership with many fantasies and fetishes. Your particular fantasy has no more "weight" than anyone elses and to tell them to go elsewhere strikes me as being somewhat arrogant. Why don't you go elsewhere?

There is absolutely no reason why there cannot be both in the same show. Stockings can be removed to give bare legs and shoes can be removed to give bare feet. I am not sure why Totem don't always do this, as to me a striptease, at the end of the day should remove everything.

My personal favourite is thigh high boots but you don't get many cards with those. Plus the fact that they can be somewhat difficult for the girls to remove.

@172RGM

I agree with Number6. My preference is for the girls to start off wearing more than is normaly the case and remove it all, but slowly. Whether they keep shoes and stockings on towards the end is, to me, almost irrelevant. The act of slowly peeling off stockings can be very erotic, but it seems to be a lost art and all we have now in most cases is a rush to be naked.

I actualy think there are too many "full nudity" clips, and far too many clips that start with a naked performer - the program is, afterall, called iStripper, not iNudeDancer - but again that is a matter of personal taste.

I certainly don't insist that all cards match my personal likes, indeed I insist that there be as great a variety of acts as possible, some slow strips, some quick, some starting from a full set of street clothes, some starting with just bra and panties or bikini, some ending with shoes and stockings on, some with them off.

A few reverse strips would also be appreciated - currently I can only remember of a couple of cards with reverse strip clips.

@haruchai, I'm aware that you and I are not noobies here & hence:
After 7 years we have seen voices rise and fall on the forum wrt shoes & stockings versus bare feet & legs.

@Goldie @Number6 and many others have commented that compromise aught to be available to provide for many more predelections within each card. I agree but would suggest that production Team's stubborn attitude about shoes may be what the real issue is. Over the years we have seen Totem lurch from one extreme to the other in response to our baying over this, almost as if to say ..Well, you want bare feet ?..ok we will have the shoes off for you within the first 10 seconds of a clip..so enjoy. People are not asking for unreasonable extremes as responses.. People generally just want some balance. Yes ?

Now we have window washing eating up striptease time or endless costume discussions and try-outs touted as increased diversity, when the hard work of thinking of ways of teasing us better is bypassed. How to remove clothes on the lower half of the body never was Totem's strong point.
For seven years I've watched most stockings pulled off here like socks in a changeroom and chucked away rapidly. If there was equal attention put into assisting models to develop new garment play methods as there is in buying endless new dresses & shoes here we might actually have stripping improve.

Seven years & I'm still waiting to see a stocking being dangled & stretched between the teeth and a foot while the model's fingers glide up and down it.
I'm yet to see heels removal lingering a while to include the model tapping her arched bare sole with a shoe heel and just savoring that moment. Just two examples of of what could be..It never happens here.!
Perhaps its about time Production Team got out more, to revisit the Art of Tease using the legs, or perhaps they should just get someone who will.😢

Please keep in mind that the girls are Models, hired from Modeling Agencies. Most haven't done any professional Stripping.
Expecting all nude models to be well versed in "The Fine Art of Striptease" is more than a little unrealistic.
Not all porn actresses travel the clubs as feature acts either.
Also, the girls are only in the studio for two or three days at most. There's no time to teach.

Might be a good idea if we all get out a little more

The act of slowly peeling off stockings can be very erotic, but it seems to be a lost art and all we have now in most cases is a rush to be naked.

@TheEmu's comment summed it up brilliantly. I hope chairs as accessories can make a return now & again, so leg-lovers get some time to enjoy.
