Youre so right, I ewas feeling the same way! And I went into well, not my first dancewear store, but the first one with intent to buy! There was an older lady working at the counter, and she was REALLY helpful. She really seemed to like the idea of a guy wearing tights, and sold me six pairs! Black, gray, navy blue, tan, and two whites-the salesgirl said that the white ones are hard to keep white, so it's good to have a spare pair. When I left, she said "Let me know how you like them." I'm going back for a leotard next week!
