From the archives, these shorts, with different shoes and blouse, and no purse:
A lady and her male friend were walking behind me in a nearby park (I could hear their footsteps as they approached at a slightly faster speed). But it's a decent area...so no safety worries. As they drew up alongside me, the lady looked over and said "excuse me, Ma'am, but are those dance tights you're wearing?"
Wow, here I am, with no way to escape having a legitimate discussion with a lady about my pantyhose, and her boyfriend/husband/significant other is right there beside her. I put my voice up a few octaves, hoping it wouldn't crack. "Thanks for the compliment, hon, but no, they're just sheer pantyhose." "As good as those look on you, I need to start wearing them when I exercise...are they comfortable?" "Yes, Ma'am, very comfortable - they fit like a dream." "Where did you get them, if I might ask?" "They're 'Just My Style' day sheers, and you can find them at Justmysize.com. Maybe other places on line, too. I hope when you get them, you enjoy wearing them as much as I do." "I'm sure I will - your legs look wonderful. Thanks, for the info, Ma'am." "Thank you for the kind words, Ma'am."
The male with her just kept on walking straight ahead...and didn't so much as look to either side. You could almost hear him thinking: "OMG - women and their girl talk...I really don't care where they buy their pantyhose."
While there haven't been many Mandy moments lately, this one really made my day...or week...or maybe month. Can't wait for the next moment!
Nice to hear isn't it Mandy? Super
ReplyDeleteYes, it was both surprising and thrilling at the same time.
DeleteI wasn't truly in "Mandy" mode, just going about my everyday routine. So I must be emitting sufficient feminine vibes "without makeup and other clues" to be identified as female, particularly by a woman.
I'm sure hoping it continues...

What a pleasant and uplifting post. I am so glad that you had that encounter with that lady. While I wear pantyhose all the time I try to pick and choose when I wear them with shorts out of the house and I always try to make it at places where the fact that I am wearing hose will not be noticed. You once again proved the truest fact of life that legs look best when encased in hose.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and a good time out.

Thanks - glad you liked it!
DeleteI typically wear pantyhose - with capri-type pants, or shorts, unless there's a reason "not to." With the recent fluctuations in temperatures (I set the thermostat was set to "heat" at 68 degrees the other night but the inside didn't drop that low), I've worn them a number of times lately. Once the weather warms into the 90's every day, they most likely will stay in the lingerie drawer.
But I do enjoy wearing them! And encounters like that one help a lot!

Maybe the guy was wondering where he could get a pair of the panty hose in his size? :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Thanks! Glad you liked my post.
DeleteYou could be right... The only view that the got of me was from the back was my shorts, long tee, pantyhose and long hair. "Girl stuff."
As he/they walked by, and moved on ahead, his overall appearance and demeanor didn't lead me to believe he had any interest in pantyhose. But as we so well know, appearances can be deceiving.

Wow! What a lovely thing to happen. We do worry about the negative reactions we might get and then when they are so positive it's a joy. Sue x
ReplyDeleteYes, it was wonderful. And affirmations such as that are not often experienced. I enjoyed it...
DeleteThanks, hon!
