I'm down with any item of clothing that lets you carry a 12 pack of beer

There’s no good way to say this, but some men like wearing pantyhose.

I'm suprised she didn't mention MANTIES

[LongElegantLegs]

Wow, I think that's my most replied to post all week! :-)
Guess I should have rephrased it.
I'm afraid the actual article would be a little disappointing, though. No lace, no foo-foo stuff, and it's not black.

Very utilitarian.

Well Johnathan Ross DID host a documentary about Ed Wood, the transvetite director behind Plan 9 From Outer Space.

And wear tights? Sheesh, most women don’t wear them if we can get away with it!

And (at least where I live) the majority who do....shouldn't. ;-)

[Mr. Silverback]

Stay tuned for more TALES...OF...INTEREST!!

[envisio]

How did I know I would find you here?

We lost an Eagel Scout up here over the weekend. I don't know if there was alcohol involved, but there was speeding involved. The crash was so violent that both people in the car were ejected despite wearing their seatbelts. Such a bloody waste.

To be expected when Garter Belt Imagery is invoked , which is equivalent to putting jet fuel into a Hummvee...the thread now goes everywhere at breakneck speed  :-)

Men with sufficiently fertile imaginations can derive amusement and stimulation from surprisingly mundane sources, given a properly supercharged context.....

I made the costumes for my son's high school drama club production of Romeo & Juliet - all based on the Italian renaissance

You are a tremendously talented lady, and all concerned are lucky to have you on hand.

If this were to be cited as the primary reason why Islam is at war with the West, I don't think I'd be able to argue the point......

[absolootezer0]

we know why i’m here.
the REAL question is, why do YOU keep coming to these threads? :D

[texmexis best]

so you’re sayin’ they’re in canvas, green with US Army stenciled on them?

[Stoat]

For home, that is just so wrong.

I would wish to politely suggest that it is wrong anyplace and everyplace.

What happened to all the manly men?

We're here at Free Republic making fun of the sissies  :-)

I loathe metrosexuals. Grrrr....

That's because you're healthy.

And wear tights? Sheesh, most women don’t wear them if we can get away with it!

Ladies should be allowed to get away with pretty much anything they like, in my view....

I don’t really mind tights, cause they let me get away with skirts that are a little shorter than I could otherwise get away with, and they’re the only thing that can help keep my legs warm that will fit under my skinny jeans. Pantyhose, on the other hand, snags so easily and only comes in skin colors or colors you can already get tights in, so I’d just shave instead if I couldn’t find an excuse to wear pants in the first place.

The one thing that I really HATE about such things, whether it’s tights or pantyhose or those little ‘dance shorts’ that girls wear under cheerleading uniforms and such, is the presence of ‘control panels’ in even the tiniest sizes. A girl who wears XS is NOT looking to be made any smaller than she already is...

[LongElegantLegs]

Darn, you guessed it!
But the stencil is USMC. ;-P
