[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Stockings and Tights (WAS: Shoes Indoors)

[Amanda]

On behalf of all the women who hate pantyhose, please let me mention a
couple of the fabulous fringe benefits of being in a medieval group:

(1)  you, the woman, get to wear long, floor-length dresses with anything
you damn well please underneath, and him, your lord, has to struggle into
tights. You know you can laugh at him if you want because he can't move,
either, in mid-process.
(2) If they're black or white, he'll need to wear two pairs to make the
color true.
(3) (slightly unrelated) You, the woman, know perfectly well how to deal
with long skirts in the bathroom, and you get to laugh at him, your lord,
when he gripes about his houppelande dangling in the toilet, etc., etc.
(4) When they, the men, wear tights, it's generally with rather short
tunics, with the pleasant side-effect that there is a lot of well-dressed
eye candy available for casual perusal.

--Amanda, whose lord used to get requests to wear a certain tunic, after it
split a seam all the way up to his hip....
