Emilio Cavallini giraffe tights

The legs aren't worthy of a giraffe. I'd be more of a hippo if my soul were to be transmigrated into an appropriate African animal receptacle.

At least the shoes aren't muddy this time. Oh, and I bet hippos have loads more fun than giraffes.

On the subject of tights look at this UK designer. Tiffany Quinn. Just look at the image. The model does not have improbably long legs. She looks like she might be almost human. Almost.

Check out her stuff on uk tights. And they are made in the UK!! I am just waiting for the end of the month and I am going to get some. Reptile, Argyle, Pearl Spiral, Blue Hollywood. And then some...

If you DO go on uk tights PLEASE tell me if you like any of her designs. I'd hazard a guess that they may not be for absolutely everyone so let me know about that too, if you would be so kind.

Aristoc tights

A friend, knowing that I am fond of them, always gives me tights. Marvellous. I believe she gets them from TK Maxx. Again - excellent. I don't need them to be full price. I just need them to be patterned or highly coloured.

(Oh, no! I just grabbed these shoes out of the cupboard and realised they are muddy. I was wearing flats today for work.)

My legs look a bit odd as a result of the camera angle. I normally do shots like this in one of the only 2 mirrors we have in the house. But I asked the wife to take the pic this afternoon (much to her bewilderment) and didn't like to keep badgering until I got a shot I could really live with so this will have to do. I really like these tights. Well done, Pamela (friend)!

The reason I have so many tights is that I always wear shorts. Trousers are too long and flappy and get mud-spattered. Skirts? Well, I tend to favour indecently short ones that aren't appropriate for a chalk-pusher. So shorts are the answer.

These are the ones I really want but the wife says they are too snakeskin and she has a complete screaming heebie-jeebie phobia of snakes so that's a no-go. They are Emilio Cavallini which is a brand John Lewis stocks. These are on ebay though......Maybe I should get them to wear when she's working away?

Phobias? Dare you share?
