Dec. 4th, 2007 08:31 pmApparently pantyhose are back. I didn't know they'd ever gone away, but ok. Also, why on EARTH would you tuck your cardigan into the waistband of your pantyhose?
M. Leblanc is appropriately incensed about the presentation of pantyhose as inherantly modest, and the corequisite assumption that bare legs are unproffessional or slutty. (Solution- wear pants. One of the many benefits of living in the twenty-first century is that we've had the right to wear said practical, comfortable and stylish items of clothing for some time now. Hell, even Women's College has been letting us wear pants for formal dinner since 1994.)

areyoustrange presents us with this moving tirade against pantyhose:
I can remember hating tights and stockings passionately in school, particularly when we were forced to wear them for half of the year. Once that rule got rescinded, I would freeze in my skirt and socks rather than wear stockings, for many a year. In the last twelve months though, I have discovered that stockings are fun. I even have those silly footless tights. Yes, shoot me now.
