I knew it! I’ve long wondered who in their right mind invented the fashion convenience that is pantyhose. Thanks to the internet, which is never wrong, I now know that I’ve got a man to thank for it. A Mr. Glen Raven Mills in 1965 came up with the idea around the time hemlines were moving upward. Guess that makes sense – in a business opportunity sort of way.
Still, those of us who have worn pantyhose know what a pain they are to wear. Men, imagine your fingers are webbed together like a duck. Now, imagine that your legs are webbed. Got that, now add 3-inch heels and try to walk. No, not like that – like a lady is supposed to walk. Can’t do it? That’s what I thought.
Women were wearing stocking long before Mr. Mills came along, so I guess it isn’t entirely his fault. Which was worse – stockings and a garter belt or one-piece pantyhose? It’s a tough call. Yes, I know that many women today prefer to opt for bare legs, sans stocking altogether. Heaven knows this is more comfortable than webbing, but there still are situations where this more casual style isn’t appropriate.
We blame all this on men. Men expect us to look sexy. Men like to see our legs. Men like heels. Right, but who is it that puts them on everyday? It’s us, ladies. It is amazing what we’ll do unto ourselves in the name of fashion. Though I know this, I still shake my fist at the fashion gods and pray for the next trend to me sweat pants and athletic shoes.
Who am I? I’m just a broad with a blog.

Pantyhose are a beautiful thing. If you women only new how many men, ( in including myself) live to see women in Pantyhose, Pantyhose are the sexiest thing on the planet. The look, the touch, the smell of a womens legs and feet in pantyhose is just fantastic!!! there is nothing better. Maybe you can post a picture of yourself in pantyhose???
I love wearing Pantyhose. I wear them everyday Hot or Cold. In the summer I wear them with shorts, and yes, men do love to see hose on women. My husband loves it, and I like the way they make my legs look and feel. I have received comments from men and from some ladies on how nice my legs look in hose. Why would you not want to look sexy, we are women, and we should look our best. We exspect our guys to look good so why not show then the same .
With all the new yarns and fabrics today, they are even more confortable to wear now than in the 70′s & 80′s.
Show your legs in hose, bare is just not the way to go.
