Very Short Skirt Disadvantages

By Jan Smith, Guest Writer

Once upon a time, a long time ago back in the 60’s, very short skirts became the fashion rage. Jean Shrimpton was hotly debated as to whether she should be allowed into Australia for the Melbourne cup because she was known as ‘the legs’ in short skirts. Naturally, Jean arrived amid much publicity.

Australians pretended shock horror and rage and Jean Shrimpton was not remotely disadvantaged by all the publicity. But for the average woman, very short skirts have many disadvantages.

Not least of which is our legs. Many women simply do not have shapely enough legs that can carry off the wearing of a very short skirt gracefully.

Legs have to be more than shapely they also have to be attractive. Nylon stockings make legs more attractive but this is where personal choice and beauty appreciation meets practicality.

Not only are our legs not elegant or sexy enough to show off in a very short skirt but our posture isn’t observed enough to NOT show off more than we intended. How many times have your eyes been drawn to the sudden hiking of a skirt thigh high? More times than many men would like their wives or partners to know about anyway, I’ll bet.

The sudden hiking of a skirt thigh high can be improved upon if the woman is wearing pantyhose nylon stockings. At least these look a bit sexier than the sudden appearance of fish-belly white thighs. But then again, I’m not a male so maybe I’m wrong on that.

But from this woman’s perspective, another of the disadvantages of wearing a very short skirt is the breeze factor. Don’t laugh, but getting a sudden gust of cold wind up bare legs is cold and disconcerting, to be polite.

Very short Skirts leave a lot of bare leg open to the elements and this is very disadvantageous as far as most women are concerned.

Ladies Stockings are more than a sensual garment. Some women are allergic to nylon. Do you know someone who is? For great up-to-the-minute styles visit Jan Smith’s web site at http://mumsdomain.com/womensstockings/

Four Reasons to Eat Apples to Feel and Look Fabulous

 By Irina Wardas, Guest Writer

Do you remember an old saying about eating an apple a day to keep the doctors away? A lot of people underestimate the value of good old apples. The apple is one of the best whole fruits, a super food we must eat every day if we want to feel a.

Well, all whole fruits contain valuable minerals, vitamins, enzymes and fiber. You are wondering why apples?

1. Fiber.

Apples are rich in fiber pectin, which we, ladies, need a lot to have clear complexion, metabolic balance, low blood pressure. Pectin (soluble fiber) lowersnot only cholesterol but also body fats. How great is that?!! Apples improve indigestion, and also help with some digestive concerns (for example, if you have a diarrhea - have an apple; if you have a constipation-have an apple!).

2. Antioxidants.

Apple is full of antioxidants to fight free radicals (which, we know,can cause illnesses) and support our immune system, heart and brain.

3. Detox.

Apples and their juice are perfect detox/cleanse food which is beneficial for the liver. They cleanse intestinal tract with fiber which is also very helpful if you want to maintain a healthy weight or to loose extra pounds. The pectin in apples not only reduces cholesterol, but also removes toxic metals, such as lead and mercury, and the residues of radiation.

4. Energy booster.

It is also a perfect healthy snack and natural energy booster. Apples low blood sugar and make us happier and less stressful which benefit emotional depression. Nature gives us apples in the fall, when the nights get longer and seasonal depression might occur. Why is that?

But we have to remember that apples contain natural sugars, so we have to do some exercises to maintain the same weight if we decide to eat as many apples a day as we can.

And, unfortunately, apples contain the highest level of pesticides (along with peaches), and it means that we have to buy them organic (local only if you know the farmers and which fertilizer they use).

Let us remember about healing properties of apples and eat them with the seasons to feel and look fabulous.
