Countries, observations, discoveries, girls and pantyhose

While travelling (this is why I was not here for a couple of weeks) I noticed several interesting things:

… just a very-very few women/girls wear pantyhose. In two weeks and in 3 countries I saw less than 10…
… I think that the most popular pantyhose are from supermarkets…
… some big shopping centres do not have supermarkets…
… some big supermarkets do not sell pantyhose…
… French pantyhose in France cost more than in Spain or Belgium…
… typical pantyhose colours vary per country. I prefer Germany and France…
… typical pantyhose types worn “on streets” are opaque black and shiny sheer skin coloured. Usually with holes and ladders…
… in Portugal I saw mannequins, that are made according to the local typical leg shape (strange, but the typical figures in Portugal are different from other neighbour countries)…
… if you are looking for beautiful women – go to Portugal (oooohhh…. I think I can look at them forever….), if you are looking for beautiful legs – look elsewhere…
… see the photo with easily the best legs in Northern Portugal…
… low-waisted jeans and shorts are being “replaced” with “medium” or “high”-waisted ones…
… Lycra is a trademark of Invista and not DuPont as I thought (it was written on a pantyhose pack)…

  1. It is summer time.. Here in California, when it’s warm, there is little leg wear.. As it starts to cool, the leg wear comes out..

  2. Hi Ra – good to hear from you again, hope the break has re-charged your passion and inventiveness.

    Pantyhose wearing in the UK this summer (Ha, summer! What summer?) has been restricted to women wearing short denim shorts (Daisy Duke style – for those who remember!) with opaque black tights. It’s not a bad look, but I’m more drawn to skirts myself 🙂

    Lycra and DuPont/ Invista – actually you’re very nearly right. DuPont created Invista a few years ago and only recently sold the subsidiary off (along with the trademark Lycra)
