My cousin is getting married in Texas this fall. Bill and I thought we might attend, but I realized yesterday that it means I’d have to wear pantyhose! I haven’t worn pantyhose since my grandmother’s funeral several years ago. That’s one of the benefits of being a California homeschool mom! What is it about weddings and funerals that require pantyhose? For that matter, what is it with pantyhose at all? Who decided that shiny-smooth faux-tan legs are attractive?
The 21st century has been called post-racial and even post-Christian. Why not post-pantyhose? I am tossing the nylons on the fire barrel tonight; who is with me?
I’m with ya girl. Pantyhose should go outta style along with garter belts and corsets. Funny post.
here here!!
I’m with you all. I don’t even think I still own any. I have to attend a wedding in October…but…will not be wearing pantyhose.
But Cheryl…is your wedding in CA? This one is in TX – there’s a difference.
I don’t know what all the hate with wearing Pantyhose. I wear them everyday no matter what the weather is Hot or cold. Pantyhose have come a long way since the 60, 70, and even 80’s and they are much more comfortable to wear. I wear the higher end hose, and they don’t run as easy (I get appox 4-6 wears per new open package), and are more comfortable today then in the 70’s & 80’s with the new fibers.
Think of hose as make-up for the legs. If you take a 10 – 30 minutes in the morning to makeup your face and do your hair, and pick an outfit, then why not take an extra 5 minutes to makeup your legs.
I know I get lots of compliments from men, and from some woman on how nice my legs look.
I wear shorts with hose in the summer.
Men like to see ladies made up, and they love to see hose on them. Most men are afraid to tell there girlfriends or wives about this. Find a brand of hose you like the feel and fit, and start showing your legs in hose.
Hollywood is starting to wear hose again, and they are showing up on runways as well.
Katie Perry from I Kissed a Girl is one of the Younger Girls that are embracing Hose wearing, as is Lady GAGA, and Rihanna. Just to name a few.
Sorry, but shiny-smooth legs ARE attractive. Very.
Oh, My……
Allison, haven’t you ever heard of Thigh Highs?? All the glory of pantyhose, without the Agony!! And, believe me, No One is any the Wiser.
