Sexy Stockings Then and Now

I just watched a video on how women can wear stockings to look sexier. The video included how to attach the stockings with a garter belt to give a real sexy and alluring look. It is interesting to note that garter belts and stockings were the usual part of a women's apparel. Today it is only found on ads for sexy looking lingerie.

Only on their boyfriend's birthday do women wear such items of clothing anymore if even then. And forget about the husband's birthday. He has to go to the underwear ads to see stockings and garter belts. We are in the area of the panty hose not the garter belts and stockings. That era has left us for good it would seem.

Listen I know that it is a lot more convenient for a woman to wear pants and not dresses. That is I assume it would be easier to wear pants than a dress.

But can we not somehow pass a law saying women have to wear a dress at least twice a year? Is that too much to ask? And let them wear the panty hose they do not have to wear a garter belt.

But I suppose I should be quiet about such a law. With all the women in government these days it is a wonder they do not pass a law to make men wear dresses... With the garter belts. Listen there is no turning back. But I trace this slacks and blue jeans culture to the days of women's lib back in the early 1970's.

Or at least to the time I remember back in the 1970's when women on college campuses around the country carried signs and demanded equal rights. They burned their bras in trash can fires. And many a man would stand around and shout burn baby burn cheering the bra burning. But they did not see what the camera did not show. Women were burning also the dress wearing centuries old culture.

They were not burning their dresses and stockings in public, but they have been lost to the war of the sexes just the same. I remember a day when I would go to school and look forward to art class in seventh grade. Our art teacher was an old lady of about 22, hey I was all of 12 back then, and who used to wear the cutest short dresses with the nude style stockings.

When she would reach up to write on the top of the black board to illustrate her drawings we all had a good look at those beautiful stockings. I never became the artist she was but I sure enjoyed her art work. But those days are gone. Ever seen a beautiful pair of slacks on a woman lately?
