Since we found out and these $$$$&^& things went out of style, the nation's women collectively saved about 10 million dollars...... LOL anne, you made me laugh!!! Have you ever wondered why women wear skirts and men wear pants? I've wondered that since I was a child - the anatomy vs. style just never seemed to fit in my young child's mind.

But I have to say that it's very infrequently nowadays that I have to. I spend my days in jeans or shorts and wear my scrubs by night so life is fairly comfortable. I can't imagine how my mother could wear pantyhose daily even under pants....ewwwww. _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett

I don't know but whenever she got the flu she said, "Everytime I don't wear my pantyhose, I get the flu." I loved the stockings with the seam up the back, did you? A few years ago I wore them to a fancy event and I had too many men comment on my great legs. I think they really meanth the stockings. Never got that compliment with regular ones. _________________________ chick ~ Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't ~ ~ Prayer is the most we can do for another human being ~

ladyjane Registered: 08/22/07 Posts: 1761 Loc: Southern Maine, USA	Oh yes, those sexy seamed stockings were a hit. When I felt/feel a little risque I've been known to wear the thigh highs with just garters. No one else knows except for hubby !! _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett

Mountain Ash Member Registered: 12/30/05 Posts: 2996	I wear pantihose in the Autumn/Winter.Dark colours to match shoes black/brown wine forest green. Never with trousers then I wear long socks without tight elastic.Hard to find.. and recently as summer is fading here I wore a skirt and pantihose to go for a meal.Unheard of in August usually.One thing I remember is that my first pantihose were very costly and as they became popular the price reduced.

keyholes Registered: 09/08/06 Posts: 178 Loc: Ohio the heart of it all	Anne, this might be a good laugh. Remember manihose? They actually made and sold those back in the 70s....oh I remember my dad howling in laughter when he saw a pair. He took me and my mom shopping at the Lion Store in Toledo. He saw a mannequin wearing a pair and I thought he was going to bust a gut laughing so hard.

Princess Lenora Member Registered: 11/11/04 Posts: 3503 Loc: Colorado	I was never able to get the seam straight up the back of the leg. I haven't heard about getting the flu if you don't wear pantyhose under the slacks! _________________________ "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." http://beyondthetears.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/lynn.tolson http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beyond-the-Tears-A-True-Survivors-Story/130880013605676

Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2658 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	Just recently I was thinking of getting rid of all my hose, except my tights. (I wear them underneath pants in wintertime since we continue our market all year 'round.) The last time I wore hose was, I think, four years ago. Maybe longer, just before I quit working for someone else. I don't think I ever want to wear pantyhose again! But why do I hang onto them? _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

keyholes Registered: 09/08/06 Posts: 178 Loc: Ohio the heart of it all	I forgot about that one LOL!! I googled manihose and only found one decent hit, but it's a pay site. It does have an image of an advertisement for manihose: http://tinyurl.com/6eosa4 Personally, it might be a good thing for someone like John Edwards. More difficult to... Makes me want to pop in my DVD of Monty Python's Men In Tights!!!!
