YES! Pantyhose are back!

Funny how things happen.  The last few days I SWEAR I've been thinking of blogging about how I miss seeing stockings on women's legs.  How I just think bare legs look awful sticking out under a dressy dress.  Not to mention the bare feet stuffed into those long pointy toe high heels.  AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW, just last night I saw an article on Yahoo! News (and as we all  know, Yahoo! News is our most trusted source in global news, followed closely only by the Associated Press and Reuters) proclaiming that Kate Middleton, Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cambridge herself, has put an end to the bare leg trend by wearing pantyhose!  Hooray!

Of course I, for one, never stopped wearing them.  And in fact, only noticed recently that I seem to be the only hold-out.  When did pantyhose go OUT anyway?  Which fashionista fart-head declared the ban?  I slowly began to notice that NOBODY was wearing them anymore.  Apparently it was 'SO EIGHTIES' to wear them.  So 'last millenium'.  On the two or three occasions that I have actually worn a dress in the last decade, I could feel the pity and scorn as people glanced at my hosed legs and quickly looked away. 

Well that's all over now!!  Thank you Kate for bringing reason and civility back to our appendages.  PLUS you may have noticed that her bra straps do not show.  Thank you!!  And Prince William keeps his boxers discreetly hidden beneath his trousers, which by the way seem to sit elegantly at his waist, not his crotch.  Thank you!!

So it seems the royal family has a purpose after all.  Keep up the good work, Your Highnesses.
