I am weary.
I spent the last three days facilitating a meeting in my fancy business clothes trying to seem professional and knowledgeable.
Oh, the facilitator! She's in charge! She's smooth!
But, wait! What's this?
Oops!
She cheated on the stockings part of her outfit and... DOH!
Every time she stood up her knee-high hoisery dropped and pooled at her ankles.

One Way to Hold Their Attention

I kinda think if you had one of those long, bunchy, ruffly kinda corduroy wacky skirts that hose of any kind would be unnecessary. Just sayin....
OMG, I hate those things! LOL
During an "important" internship in college I was feeling all big and bad with all my "responsibility." Little did I know that after a meeting and bathroom break that I had forgotten to remove ALL the toilet paper from behind my, uhm, behind. Yeah, that about made me feel *this* small. We've all been there!
that is too funny! I hate stockings!
Dude. My thigh highs fell down at my university convocation. Smooooooth.
Nice. Verrry nice.
At least you didn't have your skirt tucked into your underwear.
Or toilet paper trailing your shoe.
There's always a bright side, lol.
....or toothpaste on your skirt (toddler height) or icecream in your hair or your underwire from your bra poking out.
3 things that I have realised AFTER a big meeting that I thought I kicked arse in....
You buy that brand of knee hi's too, huh?
LOL... this is why I no longer wear skirts
I hate skirts and hose. Nuff said!
It's hot. People probally thought they were thigh highs that had slipped down.
I hate the knee highs. Hate them
*snort* hehehe
girlfriend, really, hose are no longer necessary! it's 2008 for cryin out loud!!
Hmm knee high drooping doesn't quite conjure up the same imagine as stockings unraveling!
Cheers
And this is why I hate knee highs. Good thing my current occupation of chauffeur to taekwondo and school doesn't require that I wear those dreaded things!
I find if you fart really loud, it keeps their minds off your legwear.
rofl I hate nylons for that very reason. Oh, and getting a run in them comes in very close second.
Pardon my ignorance, but I didn't think anyone still wore knee-high stockings. Do stores still sell them? Seriously.
Oh NO....horrors! Not that that happened, but that you actually had to wear those THINGS. Remember that hideous commercial "look mommy the lady's ankles look like elephants.."
Girlfriend, you need to DO AWAY with any and all forms of 'hose... torture!
You so cool!
Nylons are a tool of the devil.
I think that happened once on an episode of Golden Girls...
It's like that Ramona Quimby book where she tells her teacher that her nylons make her look wrinkly like an elephant.
The announcement didn't go over very well for Ramona, if I recall...
Doh!
Smooth, very smooth.
heh heh
Nothing like diving hoisery to bring you back to normalacy, and remind you that you'd rather be
a) wearing them on your head
b) using them as a sling shot
c) not wearing clothing at all
d) all of the above
On Purpose? Wink wink.
Hosiery is evil. You actually made my skin crawl at the thought of having to put that on my body.
And, my former boss once went into an important meeting without realizing that her infant daughter had puked down the back of her suit jacket before she had left for work. Mmmmmmm
Agh! I hate that too.
At least the mighty wind didn't breeze through too.
LOL ooops!! I used to hostess in a pancake house where floor length wrap around skirts were the uniform. While moving briskly through the dining room one Sunday morning, my skirt flap was caught on a chair, exposing my knee highs and granny panties to the entire dining room.
well, at least the wrinkles were knee highs! You have such a way with words... thanks for the smile today...

Since I WAH (no, I am not crying, it's "Work At Home"), I usually don't fall into the clothing/appearance faux pas, but I certainly put my foot in my mouth.
A few weeks ago, I was on a conference call, and made a comment about "the Kimono being open"... in retrospect, I don't think my Asian counterparts on the call found that comment at all amusing...

Ack! The nightmare of hosiery that cost less than $18 a pair! (WHY are they SO expensive?)
OH NO!!!!
that's why i always leg warmers on top of my socks. that and i'm also a maniac
I had that happen just the other day. If it hadn't been cold and wet and snowy and yucky, I'd have just taken 'em off.
That would sooooo be me....
my sympathies. and my giggles. :)
I am sure no one noticed or maybe it just made you seem mortal and they could better relate to you?
Panty hose in any form is the devils work. I avoid them at all costs.
Oh, the joys of knee-high stockings. If it isn't causing static cling with one's pant leg, it is pulling around the ankles. Do SPANX make knee high stockings? I bet they wouldn't fall down!
Should have gone with the thigh highs with lacy tops.
I had a World History teacher in high school who wore the craziest panty hose. The toes were really thick or something. It made them look odd. Her daughter went to school there too. I felt bad for her.

OMG....those things happen to me too!!!!!
Ooh, elephant ankles. Zexy.
Hehehe. Oh J!
DEFINITELY switch from knee high to thigh high. They have the benefits (no uncomfortable panty, easier in the bathroom, one legs blows only throw one away) and they have a non slip top that stays up MUCH better than the knee high variety. I haven't done panty hose in years, but knee highs are awful when you sit down and realize your skirt wasn't quite as long as you thought and everyone on the other side of the room knows you cheated with the knee highs!
Pantyhose are evil. Thigh high, knee high...it makes no difference. They are a tool of the devil.
LMAO!!! Did I ever tell you about the time my thigh-highs wouldn't stay up (rubber stickum forSOOTH!), so I took two rubber bands and made my own garters?
Yeah, I did that.
I feel your pain.
d'oh!
Now you're like my 82 year old mother-in-law who just didn't want to bother with the elastic on her knee-highs anymore so she just cut it off!
Go glamour girl!!!!
Tell them you planned it!
But that's the latest look!
Ever since I tried to hold up a convenience store with control-top pantyhose over my head and almost suffocated, I've stuck to pants..
Your "stockings" are a symbol for what I feel like every day as a working mom -- a fraud pretending I've got it all together, when really, I'm a total mess.
I wear thigh highs to combat this. They have an elastic band so they stay up @ !
