Oh look, it's Dietrich

Me (regarding the sweater he's tried on): It looks like Mr. Rogers and Buck Rogers had a child.

He (smiling winningly): Yeah. The question is whether that's a problem or not.

Fashionable salesgirl (passing by): Oh, I like that one. And look - the tags are still on it. Nobody's ever worn that.

Me: And it's easy to see why.

Wardrobe question here, particularly for the taller and/or bigger women in the group:

I've found that Frederick's of Hollywood, as well as the great site StockingsHQ.com, carry stockings - with or without need for garters - that suit my long-legged big-thighed self perfectly. Check it out.

What I'm looking for now are:

1. Tights, preferably very opaque, that don't itch or bind
2. Thigh-high socks (hey water_childe?) that stay up well and don't cut off circulation in the thighs or make them look like sausages
3. Thigh-high tights - if there are such a thing - which would be infinitely preferable to full length tights
4. Any other sexy options for staying warm under skirts - short or long - in the Boston winter.

Thankye, folks!
