I feel like thigh highs and/or garter belts would lead to the dreaded "chub rub" situation.

I have never found a thigh high anything that stayed up without garter help. I hate it. Hate it.

I want to be Take Tiffany Montague

Is Take part of her name?

Oo, now I want a new garter belt!

Franny's school is definitely going through a lice outbreak right now. I suspect that some parents aren't checking their kids, and hell, I was having DH check me weekly and he kept finding bupkis. So regular checking is only so useful.

Oh, lice. Never any fun at all.

Some thigh-highs stay up without needing a garter belt. And I'm not repeating hype; I have several pairs that stay up all day without a garter belt

Don't they roll, too, or get too tight? That's what I don't like -- feeling like I have a rubber band around my thighs.

Also, I'm with Tim! Garter belts are sex-ay.

I get back "Of course I didn't mean *every*, I meant *many*. Can't you use your common sense when you read?"

Ah, yes. The people who believe their writing includes telepathic signals indicating what they really meant, as opposed to what they wrote.

They don't roll, and they're not *tight* like control-top hose (or Spanx) are tight. They have 3 bands of rubber (but not, like, rubber bands, like you can shoot off your finger) around the inside of the tops of the stockings, and the rubber is what grips and keeps everything from sliding (or rolling) down. They're brilliant.

t edit Not rubber; silicone bands. Either way, they hang on tight.

Hey all! An entire day without work-place shooting! It's an improvement since yesterday. Anyway, on to a different matter: I got an invite to join Google+ yesterday from someone named [name redacted] and I went, "... who?" and was about to delete the email, then I realized that he might be a Buffista (there are some Buffista-sounding people in his circle). I only have, like 3 people in my Google+ circle and don't even know if I would ever use it (ETA: actually, I just realized this is the email through which I do my fannish stuff, not my RL email -- I don't even have a Google+ account with this email), but I didn't want a nice Buffista I know by some other handle to feel I was ignoring him.

(Once I get an answer, I'll edit out the RL name from the post.)

ETA: Thanks, -t! And thanks for the invite, dcp. For now I'm holding off joining Google+ with this email -- Google's done some ishy stuff with the privacy policy recently so I'm being a bit ginger with what to do with the accounts I have, especially with the extra one I established with a pseudonym. Wasn't there a big kerfuffle a few months ago as to how pseudonymity was not allowed with Google or something, or am I remembering that wrong?

I think that's dcp, Vonnie.

They do sound good. Mostly, though, I just try to avoid stockings when possible. ::sheepish::
