Thigh high...

I was buying some sheer black stockings to wear with my gothic vampire dress. As I searched through the sizes and possible shades of black and style – shine, matt, lace, fishnet…nearly bought fishnet but decided the slutty vampire look wasn’t me…not this week anyway...I listened to a woman and her boyfriend beside me. It’s not often you see a man in the lingerie section of a store. He was trying to ‘help’ her buy stockings. His idea of helping was to keep suggesting over and over and over again that she buy either the thigh high lace topped stockings or the ones with garters. She kept saying things like ‘uh-huh’ and nodding vaguely as she searched through the stockings on display. He was not deterred. He kept persisting in his attempts. It was kinda funny and sweet. Men. Simple creatures. In the end I said to him “Kudos for trying but you’d have more chance of wearing them yourself.” His response? “I’ll wear her down.” I expect he will.
