Don't know anything about this dress maker, but I found this picture today.. very hot.. the gown's a bit long for my taste, but still very sexy.

Corset Girl

Corset Girl

If you like corsets here's a blog for a, as she puts its, "corset addicted girl"

Quite stunning if I do say so. Only two glove pictures that I've seen so far. The first is her latest posting, just winter style gloves. The second is this ball gown.

Check it out.

 

Also she has a high heel page.. yummy...  Click here.

More Glove Sightings

Ok have a couple more glove sightings.

In the following two episodes of Firefly you'll find the stunning Inara, played by the gorgeous Morena Baccarin, sporting gloves.

1. Train Job -- Inara rescues Zoe and Mal while wearing a stunning red dress, low cut, sleeveless. She wears matching wrist gloves, and matching cloak. She also gives Mal a nice slap in the face while wearing them too. :) yum.
2. Shindig -- Again the beautiful Inara wearing a gold dress, and mid-forearm length gold gloves, not lame thankfully (at least I don't think so), just gold. Oh also an honorable mention is Kaylee, played by the sexy Jewel Staite. She wears this umm gown, pink dress with white lace, and white almost elbow length gloves. (might be slightly pink)

Of course I'm a huge Firefly fan, one of my favorite Sci-Fi series. If you're into Sci-Fi and haven't watched these you absolutely must. :) Anyway there's my recent glove sightings.

Feedback

Hey there, if you read this site and like it, please let me know. If you don't like it tell me why and I'll see what I can do about it to make it better.

Fingerless "gloves"

Does anyone else hate these things? Or more specifically hate that they're called "gloves" when they don't cover the fingers at all? While I understand the need to have as much use of your fingers as possible, or access to put a ring on, or whatever, it's just wrong to call these things gloves.

Of course  you need to take this with a grain of salt, I'm really not advocating the banning of fingerless gloves or anything, but to me part of the appeal of gloves is seeing everything covered. And I especially love the feel of gloved finger tips.. mmmm. ahhem.. anyway.

Not much in the glove world to cover today. It's getting near prom season so maybe there'll be some news in the near future.

Maybe if any of those young prom going women read this, they could send some pictures for sharing (please be over 18 though don't need that headache)

Types of Gloves

I divide gloves into 6 major categories, 3 materials, and 3  length.

The major materials are:

1. Cotton
2. Nylon/spandex
3. Leather

The major lengths are:

1. Wrist
2. Mid-length/elbow
3. Over the elbow/opera

I tend to like gloves in all of these categories, so I'm not really picky, but I'd say I probably favor leather opera length over the others. But hey I'm not too picky ;)... Though "winter" gloves really don't do anything for me. They're mostly just ugly. I like the fashion oriented gloves.

Now I know I could break this list even more, as there's a wide variety of leather, spandex, nylon and cotton, and lengths very from a actually below the wrist to all the way up to the shoulders. However this is just the "basics"

Things I'd like to do here...

This is just kind of brainstorming, not much else beyond that. This is not a promise that I'll have these things, but more of a "would like to have" list.

1. Original pictures. I'm an amateur photographer so I'd love to do my own pictures.
2. Interviews with glovely women. Why they wear gloves, or why they don't.
3. Glove maker interviews. People like Dorothy Gasper, or others who'd love to talk about their gloves.
4. Surveys about why women do or don't wear gloves when they dress up.
5. "Glove news" as if there's such a thing, but who knows maybe I'll come up with something.
6. Podcasts/Vidcasts, maybe.
7. Editorials. I guess that's pretty much a given I think... lol

Well that's my list for now, when/if I start getting more feed back for this site, I'd love to get other's ideas on topics.

History of gloves

Here's what my friends at operagloves.com have put together. It's a nice read.

Movie Recommendation

The first movie I'd like to recommend is "The Producers"  This is the 2005 film version of the Broadway play, which was musical remake of the 1968 Mel Brooks movie. Did you get all that? lol

Anyway this is a glovers heaven in the movie. Right from the start formal dress, 1920s style. Men in top hats, love flowing gowns and long gloves of course. And of course can't go without mentioning Uma Thurman. WOW!.. She wears lots of gloves. And has nice thigh high stockings too. *grin*

And the movie is not bad either ;)... Do you have any movie recommendations?

Welcome to the Glove Lover's Blog

Hey everyone, just wanted to give my first post. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this blog yet, I have some great idea about things to do, but this is where I'll start.

I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Owen, and I have a thing for gloves. Just in case you couldn't tell by the title of the blog ;)...

I can't really say when my "thing" started, but it's been around for quiet a while. I remember when I was younger, I used to enjoy watching cartoons and comics for the gloves girls. I remember shows like Electra Woman and DynaGirl, where they where in superhero costumes. 

When the Internet was first getting popular in the early 90s I started a website, by the name of "The Glove Lovers Page" I hope to eventually get a page like that up and running. While it won't be the same kind of content, it will have the same spirit.

I hope to keep this blog as a place for me to talk about blogs, fashion, and whatever else glove related comes to mind. Things like my favorite glove movies, glove sightings, and maybe even some glove discounts from major gloves suppliers.

I guess that's it for the intro. I'd love to hear from you so please feel free to post comments, suggestions, or whatever.
