Hi KARLA,Just wandered in from...Hey,I haven't worn hose,nylons, pantyhose,stockings or whatever the name is now for 20 years!If I wear a dress,I just don't wear anything on my legs.Yes,you have to shave closely and hope your legs are covered enough so no one can see scars,birthmarks and acne - They itch,they sag and can cause rashes!

My last suit and tie was December 6 for my mother's funeral and sadly, Sunday will be the next time for another funeral. We've had three Alzheimer's deaths in a four month period in my family. Wearing a suit and tie has not been a happy occassion lately.

Personally, I love dresses and skirts, namely those 'gypsy' style skirts because they can be casual or they can be dressy, depending on what type of footwear you wear. But I hate pantyhose, they are so binding arrrgh! Its either thigh-highs or nothing.

If I saw Mike in a dress I might question that.....

LOL.. Ouch Karla... we now have a new term in the English language - When somebody's caught with their fly down, you'll hear everybody else around telling him/her "Hey, you gotta Magnum Mike wardrobe malfunction!"

That's probably gonna be my legacy after I'm gone, on my grave stone, these words will be written: "Michael S. &&&&&&&" "Known for the Magnum Mike Wardrobe Malfunction"

You have my condolences, Charley.
The last time I wore a skirt and all that good[?] stuff was for my son's Army Commissioning in May. Same one I wore to his high school graduation four years before-the second to last time I wore one!

Actually my "wardrobe malfunction" wasn't quite as serious as Janet Jackson's, at least mine wasn't broadcast nationwide, besides I was wearing something below the slacks!

LOL, you should see MM when he's really in a hurry.

Last suit and tie event for me was last Nov at a fund raising event.

LOL... well there's nothing to question Power Surge, because you'll never see me wearing a dress, and definitely no panty hose!

I wear a dress most Sunday's to church. I don't really like pants, so I wear dresses most of the time changing to sundresses in the Summer. I even wear a dress over my swimsuit when I go to the aquatic center and change back into it when I leave. I have had several people comment that I am very dressed up today. My answer is that this is just more comfortable to me. Most of the time it is a citiknit and they don't wrinkle when I ball them up and put them into my bag.

I wear pants when I am working in the yard and on some shopping trips, but I really prefer dresses. When I was growing up we were not allowed to wear pants, because it was thought to be sinful. I was brought up in the mountains of NC. That is why I get so amused with the books written about the South and the sinful type people. Whoever wrote the book does not have a clue. We were so clean living, we squeaked.
