When those things first came out in the 60's, all us working women thought, "what the ---??! How the h--- are we supposed to work in these things!" If we got a run up one leg, we were doomed to throw the damn things out. We all fought to keep our stockings and garter belts. For one thing, they were MUCH sexier, much cooler, and if you got a run in one leg, you still had the other. All us gals kept a second stocking in our desk drawer for such emergencies.
Also, the men loved 'em! (I won't go into that though, not here.)
We never believed, back then, that these stupid idiotic things would really catch on. The men wouldn't allow it! But, guess what.....
