Eventually, I gave up. I did get some to draw lines down the back of their legs with eyebrow pencil, and spray it with hairspray, before they put on their pantyhose, though.<br /><br />Sometimes it helps to know some history, too. I always try and explain flappers to women wearing 20s clothes. They have to realize that flappers<br /><br />a) were the cutting edge of their day, equivalent to the Goth styles of today, and<br /><br />b) had just come out from under tons of corsets and petticoats, and other restrictions, like long hair.<br /><br />c) just got the vote and had a new independence that their mothers never dreamed of.Ronnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062796442588373271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15417436.post-76441590799080998752009-06-14T12:50:44.114-05:002009-06-14T12:50:44.114-05:00Pretty in pink!
