La BellaDonna, she agrees with the Sandy. The Melanie’s legs are the reason so many of the ladies who are of the 45-and-up (and more than a few of the under-45) keep wearing the tights or the pantyhose, thinking that it is all well and good for the teen or 20-something to say, “But no one wears the pantyhose! The legs, they are so much sexier without!” Well, the evidence to the contrary, it is here. These are not the sexy bare legs, are they? But they are the legs of the movie star! The movie star who is getting older like the rest of us. This is why the ladies of a certain age, they are not going to be flashing their bare legs at the rest of the world.

The Melanie’s arms seem to be in the same condition, one which owes much to the exigencies of the years of sun, the cigarette smoking and the dieting for the desired Hollywood skinny=sexy. As the ladies get older, the aggressive thinness, it has even less to recommend itself.
