I like to think of my fishnet wearage as Tank Girlish. Eh, so it may make boys think of sex more. As long as they have no expectation of getting it from me too easily.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Guys really have no idea when it comes to whether a certain trend is slutty or not. For a few years fashion mags were intent on making fishnets business formal. I know I saw them in the office, though I only wore modified forms (like argyle). I agree that flesh-toned fishnets can be chic, worn the right way.
What is everyone doing this weekend
One of Bob's friends is coming down to stay for the weekend-- he is a professor of philosophy but is the one that got Bob into performing improv, so he is a lot of fun. I am looking forward to it.
And, and, this goddamn document production that has been consuming my life with minor irritants for the last six weeks (never trust a vendor who says they can do Japanese. They will have problems.) just got finally fedexed! I am going to get wasted!
Hec, I assume you've seen this, right? And this?

Do women get to make that call, then?
I've worn black fishnets to work in scenarios where only an inch or two would be visible. Only worn the fleshtoned once, with a vintage shirtwaist dress and MJs, IIRC. Maybe ballet flats.
Oh, while I'm on the topic, Hec, I also found this in my wanderings.
I own flesh-toned fishnets (have I ever worn them? no.) because I once had a tour of Siena led by a very elegant Italian woman who was dressed all in cream, including cream-colored fishnets (and a cape.) I also own black fishnets, and similarly, not with the wearing. I don't get out much. I haven't shaved my legs since fall 2005.

I just like the way they emphasize the shapliness of my legs. It's kind of a mathy effect, really. It's the rest of the outfit that determines the sluttiness, I'd say.
Hey, we've covered both duct tape and fishnets in this very Natter, haven't we? Neat.
The last time I wore fishnets I was dressed as a pirate wench.
I am soooo sleepy. I have my sweats in the car for a treadmill workout, but have no energy to do so. I think I'm just going to go home and sleep, and then see if I can get up for a 6 am swim. Then, maybe I'll go back to the fitness center later in the afternoon for the treadmill.
This weekend I'm planning to see The Host and 300 yet again (with a date this time), and possibly attend Sunday's playoff hockey game with best friend and his devil children. I'm also hoping to get at least a bit of artwork done at home.
Alas, must forego eating at restaurant with Smoking Hot Bartender so as to avoid casting date in harsh light of comparison.
Tomorrow night I'm going to a party I'm not looking forward to, but I'm bringing a friend I haven't seen in forever, so that will be good, at least.... I also have got to do laundry and some general cleaning. We'll see.

So, last Tuesday?
This weekend will involve massive yard work. Luckily I love yard work.
