Some Fashions Can Be Misleading

I just saw this lady walking past me as I bought a soda from one of the street vendors near my building. When I saw her legs, I thought to myself “Poor woman…She must be some kind of burn victim or something.”
Then, upon closer inspection, I saw that she was wearing pantyhose with these intricate Chinese dragon designs in them. The design looked great, but as I mentioned earlier, from a distance, it’s horribly misleading.
Let this be a lesson, ladies: Sometimes a little too much style can be disasterous. I’m sure guys wanted to holler at her, then saw her legs and ran away, thinking she was on the 3rd stage of the ebola virus or something along those lines. It’s a fine line between cool pantyhose, and appearing to suffer from Foot & Ass disease.

It’s bad enough I was staring at this woman’s legs on the street! A picture would have been extra-creepy. I’ll do a search later on and ses if I can find a photo.

I just bought 4 pairs of fancy stockings and I’m glad I kept the receipt.

@ Zen, wear them at night when you’re going somewhere dressy, and you should be fine. It didn’t work for the lady in the entry because it looked wierd from a distance, like scarring. In somewhere like a resturant, club, or even a dinner party, they’ll probably be eye-catching for the right reasons.

Leon, what is this world coming to when you are giving fashion advice to women. Your last comment, while quite wise, reeked of Antwaun n ‘em. I can smell the jokes coming. But. again, great advice.

@ Common Share, I know what makes me horny, and what turns me off. You’re acting like I gave her tampon suggestions!
By Hustleman on Mar 10, 2008
I never commit but always laugh, I had to leave a quick response b/c:
1) I loved the advice and as I was reading it I was like hum look Leon’s got some fashion sense cool.
2) I am dying at your response to The Common Share
LOVE IT and the Site

Testy!! Testy!! Did I rile you up? I was just making an observation. Damn!!
By The Common Share on Mar 10, 2008
I’m not testy @ Common Share…You know me better than that. You should have known a comeback was on the way, too! How you ‘gon talk sh*t to a sh*t-talker, and not expect him to talk sh*t back?! ;)
@ G.Mo, it was pantyhose. I took a close look at the embroidered design, just to be sure.
@ Lil Trina, thanks for commenting!

hey whats up leon just stopping by to show sum love! haven’t been here in a while. anyway i can’t see how stockings that make your legs look the same as a burn victims can be even close to being stylish in any way.

LOL!
But Foot & Ass disease aside, at least the woman in question was trying. DC all too often just settles for poly-cotton pleated Dockers.

Never even heard of those types of stockings before, but they sound awful.
By T. on Mar 11, 2008
OMG! reading what i wrote i sound soo illiterate. lol
@ T…they are very awful.Well to me they are. Picture embellished stockings with like a funky design on it…not cool!

I think you should take your camera everywhere you go, and then tell ppl you write a blog and want to take their picture for it. Just don’t tell them it’s a humor blog.
Sure, you might slowly build a small population of people that hate your guts for making them look stupid in front of millions, but you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet. You think Sacha Baron Cohen doesn’t get a little hate mail?

What’s funny is that I saw a woman wearing those “tatoo-like” pantyhose in Target and thought that she had a serious case of vericose veins. A longer glance revealed that it was actually her tacky ass stockings. They should only be worn on Halloween.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Some Fashions Can Be Misleading, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
