Nothing Beats A Great Pair Of Leggs!

I remember the tag line from the television commercials when Leggs pantyhose were still sold in their white plastic eggs. “Nothing beats a great pair of Leggs!”

My sentiments exactly.

I do so enjoy gazing at the objects of my affection and nothing draws the attention of my eyes quicker than a pair of legs wrapped in nylon. Whenever I leave home I always take note when I notice a woman wearing a skirt or dress accessorized with pantyhose. As I go about my travels I count them and split them into categories in my head: 5 women wearing them, 2 pairs of black, 1 opaque and 2 skin-tone. I might add “Hot!” as a category if the outfit is particularly striking. For example, the other evening in Times Square I saw a woman in a short black dress, black heels and black nylons with a leaf and vine pattern running up the back of her legs.

I do like the current fashion of leggings worn beneath a skirt, dress or pair of short shorts but prefer the transparency of nylon rather than the opaque cotton Lycra™ blends.

Often when walking down the street I notice a nice pair of hose clad legs in front of me and slow my pace to better enjoy the view. Occasionally I’ll even alter my walking course to keep a pair in sight for a few minutes more viewing pleasure. On several occasions I’ve spotted some good looking stems and when I caught up to the walker I’m surprised to discovered they belong to a older woman who doesn’t seem to match up with what’s below her hem line.

These days as summer seems to linger I find myself acting as the fashion police (in my head anyway). I’ll notice a woman wearing a skirt or dress and gaze down at her bare legs and think, You’d look so much better if you were wearing pantyhose. I won’t even get started on what I think of the trend of wearing cheap flip-flops everywhere.

I’ll be the first to admit that it would be murder to wear pantyhose and high heels all the time but bless the women who brave the streets of Manhattan so clad and provide visual delights.

Nothing beats a great pair of legs!

CORRECTION: Regarding my last post, I went by the Disney store and the poster in the window actually says, "Dream It Be It"
