The Social Implications & Pressures Of Wearing Make-Up

Originally posted by Timber Loftis: Panty hose were invented by a woman, believe it or not. I forget exactly who, but I think it was a President's wife who, when pregnant, could not do the garter and stockings thing. So, she sewed the stockings to her underwear. And thus began a long and brutal relationship between women and their leggings.

Hey that's cool! I wonder if its true?! MagiK?

Well, I (almost) never wear trousers - always skirts or dresses. So when it's too cold to go barelegged there's no other option for me
Hate pantyhose though - either barelegged or stay ups or woolly thingies, what are they called, maillots? for when it's really cold.

Edit: yep, the face/body glitter thing is cute! Agree with Moni, looks nice on young girls [img]smile.gif[/img]

Personally, I don't really like it on a normal day. Maybe girls should wear it when nightclubbing, but I don't think it looks good on them durin the day.

Unless I am in a summer dress and my legs have sufficient color, I'll wear panty hose with dresses and skirts. I've never tried the stay-ups because I am skinnier than sizing normally allows for women in the U.S. and I am afraid they would fall down LOL.

maillots. You don't see too many of those here in the southwest! I had forgetten all about them! I used to wear them as a young girl when dress codes in school prohibited us from wearing slacks or trousers.
Then there was the thinner version...more like just thicker panty hose in colors called leotards. Those were always too big LOL I hated them.

LMAO! Moni....uh, do you have any idea how skinny I am? [img]redface.gif[/img]
Don't worry, they'll fit
Never fell down on me so far... only problem I have is I have to stretch them a fair bit because my legs are too long for them, but apart from that they're quite comfy [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dunno if I had the right word there... I think they're called maillots anyway [img]smile.gif[/img]
They're really soft and woolly, usually black. Quite nice in cold weather

LOL Well I know you look to be of a normal build, I would never have thought you to be the same skeletal kind of skinny that I am LOL.

Yes, the wooly stockings...I liked them on winter days

5'9" and 55 kilo - not skeletal, LOL! But a bit underweight, yes. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Then I am not totally alone in this world?! *whew* LOL.

My legs aren't really too skeletal (yet, I know they will be when I get older lol..I saw my grandma's) but my arms are pitifully thin if I don't work them out constantly. I can still wear the watch I got when I was 7 around my wrist, and comfortably!

Sorry Moni, Accounting Homework for next week had me too busy to dig into womens undergarments in the way that I would really like to [img]smile.gif[/img]

Bk Bk Bk BkAAACK!
Seriously, you have time to play around here in this forum, you'll need a better excuse than that lol. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
