tights, day 16

I have a confession to make: I'm starting to get tired of the tights project. Some days I am just in no mood to get dressed up and take a photo of my legs. I've already done the tights that I like to wear; now I'm down to the ones that hang on in my closet for some obscure reason. Well, at least I only have 8 pairs to go after this one.

Anyway, today's pair of tights. These were a gift many years ago. I think I've only worn them once. They're cute, but they don't really go with my clothes and they don't stay up very well. Still, I can't get rid of them because they're in perfect condition. Because I never wear them. It's one of those vicious things.

I think the writing on the tights says "peace." You'd think I would know that, having studied two years of college level Mandarin. Well it was a long time ago, cut me some slack. I can barely remember how to write my own name at this point.

Note Thirteen in the background of the photo. She looks vaguely disturbed, like she's trying to figure out whether I'm going to do something that will require her to get up and hide. Life is difficult when you are a dog whose laziness is only matched by your neuroses.

ah, but you CAN get rid of them! that's what thrift stores are for. pass them along to someone who will love them and wear them-- all the better if they are in perfect condition for that person.

Nothing worse than tights that don't stay up very well. :( The worst are the ones that just keep bunching at the ankles no matter what you do!

That is so true! I hate that feeling of the tights slowly sliding down, & trying to find a discreet way to hike them back up. The bunching at the ankles is why I almost never wear my favorite pair anymore (day 5: http://www.ovenall.com/diary/archives/000652.php ).

Sarah, I changed my ex-boyfriend into a pair of tights. He fits great and never bunches up. Sometimes, I can hear him whining. lol. He was a real bastard. He used to hit me and cheat on me and call me names. He thinks women are less human than men and just there for sex.

Should I change him back? Would you like to borrow him?

there are so many pantyhose and tights haters out there. so if you dont think you wear them anymore just save a few up and make a point by burning them while taking pictures. make a little wood fire and start throwing in pair for pair. i like to see them burn.
