This extremely sexy book is another winner from photographer Christine Kessler, who knows not only how to find beautiful models but to show off their bodies in fun, creative poses that highlight them and their stockings. From girls with red fishnets between their teeth to gorgeous derrieres, flirtatious looks, pretty panties and more, these photos capture the beauty of a woman who's almost nude (and, yes, sometimes all the way), and looks all the better for her minimalist dressing. Of course fans of stockings, pantyhose, and fishnets will appreciate it, but anyone who likes playful, hot photos that you'll surely want to page through again and again will appreciate the hotness of Nylon Girls.

hotographer Christine Kessler should need no introduction to Fetishistas fans -- though if she does, our recent Darenzia portfolio is not a bad place to start.

Steen (as she's known) is one of the fetish genre's most admired 'togs, a woman whose websites (My Fetish Diary etc) and other books provide constant evidence of her reliable instincts when it comes to making fetish pin-up images both cute and raunchy.

The rapport she establishes with her models means that she often gets pictures that would be more difficult for male photographers to tease out of the same girls -- pictures that often look more like intimate collaborations than mere voyeuristic opportunism.

Nylon Girls focuses, as the title suggests, on legwear (with some lingerie thrown in for good measure), and anyone familiar with Kessler's Toe And Arch website will realise that she's eminently qualified to cover this subject.

The book itself is one of Goliath's pocket-size, A5-format Portfolio offerings. With around 100 pages of colour pictures sandwiched between padded hard covers, this series offers a touch of inexpensive luxury (typically around £10 from Amazon) that makes for perfect gifts.

Pretty much all types of women's hosiery are represented in Nylon Girls, which more or less ensures that for every viewer, some pictures are going to be right on the money -- even if, given the often rather specific nature of fetishes, not all may be.

Just in the first few pages there are popsocks, thigh-length socks, faux-vintage nylons, black fishnet stockings, kneesocks with sock-suspenders, fancy fishnet tights, white lace-topped fishnets, green fishnets, white cherry-patterned stockings, nude vintage seamed nylons... you get the picture.

Even if not all of these styles ring your personal bell, there is much to enjoy in the way they're presented. The poses are, in most cases, a delight in themselves.

There are as many models as there are legwear styles -- including Mosh, Darenzia, Emily Marilyn, Angela Ryan, Apnea, Courtney Cruz, Stoya, Mz Berlin, Jade Vixen, Miss Conduct, Hollywood Geisha, Ruby Luster, Athena Fatale, Ancilla Tilia and Ulorin Vex.

In other words a substantial cross-section of America's fetish finest, with a few visiting VIPs included for good measure.

If you're really only interested in one very particular kind of legwear -- say, vintage-style nylons à la Bettie Page -- Nylon Girls' broad content might not be the perfect treat.

But for anyone who finds that, more often than not, hosiery enhances feminine glamour and sex appeal, have I got a Christmas stocking-filler for you! TM

This book is a great book of photographs of women wearing different types of nylons. The photos are really well done and all the elements of each photo are carefully considered. Not every woman is a remarkable beauty, but every photo wonderful. I liked seeing all the different types of nylons and enjoyed sharing the book with my wife. It is well done and sold at a reasonable price.

I danced around my mailbox waiting for my copy of "Nylon Girls" by the amazing Christine Kessler to arrive. As an amateur and aspiring photog myself, Christine is definitely one of the amazing ladies on the fetish photography scene that I watch carefully. Her images are generally always inspiring, beautifully crafted, technically superior. So when "Nylon Girls" arrived, I was decidedly letdown.

First off, this book is small. You cannot truly appreciate the work of a master photog such as Ms. Kessler by viewing her work in a 5x7 format. However, I suppose that is what I get for not paying much attention to the books specs, hmm?

However, ultimately the fate of a photography book rests on its content and the technical abilities of the photographer. While Ms. Kessler's abilities are perfectly sound, I was again letdown by the collection of images chosen for the anthology. Christine's work in the fetish/erotic fashion industry reaches so far beyond these simple images of beautiful ladies (Miss Mosh, Apnea, Ulorin Vex, etc.) in nylons (and not much else).

If I was a fetishist simply searching for photographs of exquisitely attractive, modern vixens in pantyhose, then "Nylon Girls" might be my new drug. Unfortunately, I am a young female photographer in search of inspiration. "Nylon Girls" fell decidedly flat in this aspect, and left me wondering why someone so talented as Christine would even bother to publish what amounts to a forgettable piece of fetish fluff? Save your money and sneak a peak at her website or various online profiles: you'll get a much better 'bang' for no buck!

In my opinion, the little book is worth the price I paid. Most of the girls are sexy and are composed in sexy positions wearing sexy nylons and such. I'm not a professional photographer, so my opinion is that based of an everday Joe who appreciates sexy females. I really got to hand it to the photographer, Christine Kessler, because her photos of sexy women in nylons are stunning. She knows what men (and some women) like and knows how to pose these girls in the right position wearing the right clothing. Some of the photos make your heart skip a beat, but overall, most of them are very professionally done showing Ms. Kessler's expertise in voyeurism, and that's what makes this book worth it. One of my favorite sexy ladies graces a couple of pages of this small book, and that's Erica Campbell. There are photos of both the small breasted and busty; photos of sexy butts covered with fishnets and butts not covered with fishnets, but only legs in fishnets. A favorite photo of mine is a close-up of Erica Campbell's excellent rounded tush with pink and red polka dot panties pulled halfway down her butt and wearing yellow fishnets on her legs. That's hot! Lots of photos of sexy girls bending over wearing sexy clothing capturing what Ms. Kessler was hoping we would see when viewing the book. There is some text in the beginning of the book and at the end, and everything in the middle is nothing but Christine Kessler's photos of eroticism.

This book is fantastic if you like alt/rock type girls. The photography work is great & the outfits are extremely sexy.
The only thing I was expecting was the small size of the book. I was expecting a large, coffee-table type book rather than something the size of a paperback.

Well, the first thing you will notice is that this is a small book. The second thing you will notice is that the girl on the cover is nowhere to be found in the book (boo). Almost half of the pictures are of the former nude model-turned evangelical christian Erica Campbell. Although she is stunning, these "photos" are all taken from the internet and are at least 6 years old. This book is sure to disappoint. Save you cash and do a google search for Girls in Nylons (turn off safe-search)

The book titled "Nylon" but sadly it should have been titled "Nylon, cotton socks and girls with tattoos". When you hear the word "Nylon" one thinks of women in stockings femininity grace and style. This photo essay misses the mark completely. Don't buy it. Rick Renga

The photos which compile this book are simply amazing. From the first set to the last each one is unique and beautiful in their own way. The models are very attractive, the nylons used are each distinctive. Highly recommend!

The photos are well crafted and the models are all very attractive. If you like garters, heels, and sexy leggings you should buy this book. Goliath products are iffy sometimes but this book hits a lingeried home run. You can go to Goliath's website (the publisher) to get more previews of the book.
