“Night Court”, “Cheers”, “Designing Women”, “Three’s Company”, “Family Ties” – my childhood memory is filled with shows like these, where women marched around in pantyhose. A lot. And I’m not just imagining it, they really did. It happened on “Night Court” – there was Christine Sullivan, the attorney, and then the nightly slew of hookers – and “Cheers” quite often. The sharp looking women would go into “Cheers”, and damned if they weren’t in pantyhose quite a bit. You remember that, and subconsciously, you just expect it. You think you deserve it.
And on one level, that’s fine. Hey, we DO deserve it. Seeing an attractive woman in hose is a gift from the heavens that we all do deserve. But on another level, it’s also unrealistic. Think about all the photos of Princess Diana. A beautiful, classy woman. And granted, there are plenty of nice photos of her in nylons. But if you think about it, there are also plenty of her in bare legs…it’s just what women do in the late spring and summer, and you know what, that’s natural. It’s great there are all those photos of Lady Di and Kate Middleton in nylons, but it’s not as if they go around that way 100% of the time. No woman does.
Just a thought that’s been on my mind lately and I wanted to get it down….have a good one 🙂
