"Shake a Leg"

Male Interview on Textured Hose

By Sue Morley, Sue Knight, Bobbi Pincus

(From In General, Vol.1, No. 4, December 1964)

Having interviewed our P.H.S. boys, the general viewpoint was that those "funny lookin' stockings" do not belong on girls. They consider them ridiculous and believe they will prove to be nothing more than a quick-passing fad. If we girls do go along with this fad, we must face the ominous threat of being stared at in amazement and worse still, being banished from the halls of P.H.S. for leprosy.

Some typical replies from our male "critics" were:

Joe Kellar --
"I don't like them on any girl, but I think they'd look great on Daryl Bustic."
Dennis Capitanio --
"Take 'em or leave 'em ... after this article is printed, they won't last."
Gene Curletti --
"What you might call cultured bacteria."
Anonymous --
"You mean sprayed-on sea weed?"
Bill Broderick --
"They look like ripped-off drapes."
Bobby Bates --
"They'd be cool in summer, because they're air conditioned."
Rob Mayer --
"They look like cancerous growths on their legs."
Bill McCauley --
"What do they do with the rest of the cheese cloth?"
Brian Kellogg --
"Gee, we don't have anything like that in Richmond!"
