Panty Hose, Anyone?

Since I am child of the 70's, and a teen ager of the 80's, panty hose were a common part of my life until the last decade.  I don't know when I realized they were disappearing, but I had mixed emotions about them slipping away into the past.  I didn't want them to go the way of hats and gloves, but since we live in the humid south, I was pleased to feel the air on my bare legs.

However, thanks to Kate Middleton, the panty hose might not die away, just yet.  It seems that those who like to mimic whatever the Duchess wears, which there are plenty, are now purchasing Leggs panty hose in mass.

So, how do you feel about this nylon come back?  Are you jumping on board...or waving good bye with a smile on your face?

Here are some commercials to make you smile.  I wish the red lipstick of the 80's would return...but that is for another post.




Memory Yarn...eh?  I could use that in my underwear and bras!  I need it to "memory" me back to about 1988.




Panty hose to the zoo?  You've got to be kidding!

God bless pantyhose. I grew up in the era and girdles and nylons with lines up the back that were nearly impossible to keep straight. How we wrestled with those seams to keep them from twirling around our legs. I don't know anyone who wasn't thrilled to toss out the girdle and say hello to pantyhose. Seemless yet. I could only imagine how earlier citizens had oohed and aahed over sliced bread. Some changes are just miraculous. And yes, I do have a drawer with pantyhose in it. Control top. I still think legs look better in hose. But then that might just be me....
Never really loved pantyhose -- but have always worn them, I guess. In recent years, living in the hot and humid deep south, I have come to appreciate bare legs and sandals with my dresses, even for church on Sunday. But, I seem to revert to pantyhose when fall and winter comes around. I love sheer black pantyhose with black skirts! Of course, the control top is a plus (especially when you wear plus-size pantyhose!!) ;) I do think legs look nice in pantyhose. And when it comes to legs, Kate Middleton sure has them!! :)
