Okay, not “people.” Women. Girls. Females. That’s who I’m talking to. About hosiery, as in pantyhose or stockings or nylons or whatever you want to call them. You know—that transparent (or sometimes opaque), even-toned, reliable, dutiful stuff made of nylon and lycra that’s been around for, oh, only most of the 20th century in some shape or form, only now it’s better made, more good-looking, and more durable than ever.
Hosiery.
Wear it!
I don’t know when this hideous trend of not wearing hose with skirts and dresses began, but it’s gone on far too long. In the summertime is one thing. But the rest of the year? And especially with short skirts or other leg-baring, knee-baring apparel?? Come on!
News flash—99% of women don’t have legs that look good without hose. Every single one of the women in the following photos looks horrible and half-dressed because she’s not wearing hosiery. And if you don’t believe me because the photos here are so small, go look at them at the original link.
Anna Kendrick:
Alicia Witt:
Paz Vega:
Sienna Miller:
And here’s Lisa Rhinna, channeling that ridiculous Angelina Jolie pose from a couple of years ago:
Aaaargh!
That scream you hear reverberating throughout the city? That’s Glamour Girl, spying yet another bright young (or not so young) thing parading her naked gams and looking awful.
