Pantyhose

bigdoglover · 10-02-2005, 07:00 PM

Ok, I'm what you might call a "redneck", or even "tomboy"....I don't wear dresses, heck, I don't even own one.

So now I have to wear this "thing" in my sister's wedding, you can imagine my excitement. The deal is, I have no reason to wear a dress. Jeans and shirts...that's it. I don't go anywhere requiring a dress, and haven't for over 10 years.

Ok, now I'm in WalMart, because, well, I just assumed that if you wear a dress, you MUST wear pantyhose. The last time I bought them, they came in that "egg". So there I am, in the pantyhose section, staring at the 200 different cartons, and not seeing one single egg!!

Then, do you think I could find the style I wanted? NO!!! Lace panty top, control top, low rise top, re-enforced toe, sheer toe, and all combinations of the above!! And the colors?? JEEZ!!!

After 10 minutes of standing and staring at all of the cartons, and wishing I was out of that section, I finally find the pair I want. I get home, proud of myself, and promptly tell my husband of my ordeal. He then asks..."Why are you wearing pantyhose when the dress goes to the floor?"" AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

It never even crossed my mind.

Anyway, hope you all get a good laugh, my sister was laughing so hard she was in tears and couldn't breath.

ROFLOL!!!!!

That sounded like Andy Rooney. LOL.

What a kick. Well, even if your dress goes to the floor, panty hose are still good if you need any smoothing out...eh-hem, (I sure do) and for your shoes. Unless you're wearing tennis shoes or hiking boots, you probably need those or at least the knee high ones.

You're so funny!!! I wear jeans mostly too....all week long and even lots of times when I go out. BUT....I LOVE getting snazzed up every other week or so, for something...even the redneck bars around here. LOL. And when I go visit my daughter in Seattle and we go out on the town, we have so much fun dressing up and putting make up on together. Lyric is always with me and so are the Chi's. Lyric stands in the bathroom and watches us through the mirror putting on our makeup...he just watches and watches....fascinated, just like a little kid. LOL. And all the dogs know when we're going out and leaving them behind. They say, "Oh no.....they're standing and staring at that wall again." LOL We crack up over that one.

Anyhow, have a wonderful time at the wedding and enjoy your feminine side. LOL.

Yes, pantyhose not only are a pain to wear, but a huge pain to buy. I used to have to wear them to work, and woe betide the poor receptionist-on-a-budget who has to buy the saggy Target-brand pantyhose, LOL. I used to stock up and be so careful because they always ran out of my size. And then the color -- nude? Not my nude! Maybe if I spent three hours in a tanning bed I might be that color.

Winston has totally learned that if we cross the babygate into the guest room and stand on the other side of the bed (looking at the full-length mirror), it means we're leaving. And that naturally means, bark as loud as you can in protest.

LOL!!! The only time I dress up is for the dogs shows, still no pantyhose, it's a slack suit and dressy boots, thank you!! I have a dress though, I bought it four years ago at the mall of America while on vacation. It's gorgeous. I've never worn it. I have a dress from one of those.... things... weddings. Which I think if you're getting married, it's wonderful, If you're being required to stand up in it, it's torture. The groomsmen I got paired up with tried to stare down the front of my dress the entire time, stepped on my painfully worn feet at least a dozen, and tried to grope me through the entire march/dance crap (I don't dance!!) And where is my husband, darn him if he isn't the best man, required to be with the bride's oldest sister, about 20 years his senior, who is a perfect angel. Oh yeah, I love dresses, they remind me of such joyful times... blaaahhh!!!

***Cassiepeia*** · 10-02-2005, 07:47 PM

I'm not laughing. The only time I've worn a dress was as a child when I had no choice and as a teenager when I was bridesmaid at my mother & stepfather's wedding.
I HATE dresses and refuse to wear them. I'd never wear pantyhose either and wouldn't know where to begin looking for them. LOL

Hmm... can you tell I'm not a 'girly' girl?

I feel for you, I really do.

Cass.

princessjodi · 10-02-2005, 08:19 PM

ROTFL!!! I HATE pantyhose!!! I used to be a bank teller and had to wear them most everyday...so glad I don't have to do that anymore. I buy nice slacks...mostly dark colors so you can't see any 'lumps' that hose used to smooth out.

calgal · 10-02-2005, 08:38 PM

Well I'm the odd one here I suppose. I love wearing dresses and skirts. I have always loved looking and feeling feminine. Occasionaly I wear jeans, but mostly long or capri pants. I alway have my hair looking nice and never leave home without make-up and cologne.

minpinsrock · 10-02-2005, 08:42 PM

Oh poor you...i'm the same way about dresses..just not my thing..unless its to a formal thing then i must like pretty darn spiffy! hehe

kazkirkpatrick · 10-02-2005, 10:09 PM

I never wear pantyhose with a dress! That stuff is AWFUL!

bigdoglover · 10-03-2005, 06:55 AM

WOW!! I didn't know this was such a popular subject! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who isn't a "girly" girl!! I just had to tell my story....I live out in the country, and have no reason to wear that stuff....since my hubby trucks, he's not home enough to go out, plus, we don't have any place to go that requires "dressing up". Around here, dressing up is washing your John Deere tractor and wearing jeans with no stains!! LOL

theGOOCH · 10-03-2005, 07:06 AM

As a man let me say that I hate the look of pantyhose. I think its a left over from more puritanical times when if you were going to show your legs you at least had to obscure the image of your sinful bare flesh!

Shadowkins · 10-03-2005, 07:30 AM

Nice to see I'm not the only one who hates pantyhose! They are useful for one thing though...they get the bug guts of the front of the car

They're also great for getting little deodorant marks off shirts, etc.

fireworksinjuly · 10-03-2005, 08:11 AM

shadow, kade- how does that work?

yea I hate them too, I dont wear dresses much but when I do they are long and cover my legs so I dont need them. As for my wedding I have too mnay other things to think about then pantyhose so im not going to think about them at all.

How does it work on a scientific level? I don't have a clue, LOL.

On a non-scientific level, it works like: go to guest room. Find drawer full of old pantyhose. Take one out, rub it on your deodorant spot.

I think it has something to do with the way the fibers contract. But I'm making that up.
