I mean, talk about a HUGE mistake. It’s really hard to believe they have been the only real choice in lady’s hosiery for so long. I guess a bigger mistake is today’s “bare legs” look which is, unfortunately making all stlyes of hosiery extinct. Maybe bare legs are in because everyone is simply fed up with pantyhose. They’re just so inchy, uncomfortable and cheap… who needs them? But really, there’s only a very few of us gals who have absolutely perfect legs. And besides, who really wants to bake themselves in ultraviolet rays or slather their legs in dyes and chemicals enough to make them unblemished and tan enough to appear in public. Besides, I think going out barelegged is just, well kinda disreputable and unladylike. Obviously stockings and garters are the only way to go and wearing them makes me feel so girlish and feminine. Really, every lady should try them… I’m a happy girl since I did and now where them all the time.
