Condi: 'I knew my black belt training would come in handy someday'

[Capriole]

if it is a formal enough event that I'll feel guilty about not wearing hose, I wear a really long flowy skirt so just the tops of my feet and MAYBE my ankles show.

I like that solution myself! I have several ankle-length skirts that allow a lot of air circulation underneath and don't oblige me to wear hose. Worn with a small heel, the long linen or silk skirts are good for church, meetings, or going out to dinner at a good restaurant, depending on one's choice of top and jewelry. And they're cool because, you're right, with this deal my legs aren't sticking out and I don't have to put on hose.

Can't stand pants unless I'm breaking a horse or doing heavy carpentry. Too hot and confining. Skirts give you more freedom.

I think if men knew how "restricting" pants really are, the kilt would make a big comeback. Yowza! I'd love it.

[Mr. K]

OK this is a tough one... the two most beautiful women in the world side-by-side


(dont bug me about politics right now....I am enjoying the photo)

[Capriole]

Kilts are certainly very convenient for all concerned, and they look great, too. The fact that they look great contributes to a woman's willingness to take advantage of the convenience factor, if you know what I mean and I think you do.
