Website Mantyhose.net believes that nylon leg coverings shouldn’t just be for women. After all, men have legs too, and they just may want the same benefits women attain from wearing them, such as support or warmth. And what about athletics?

Julia Child, the woman who almost single-handedly led Americans out of the hell of soggy green beans and Jello molds and into the Paradise of perfectly roasted chicken with butter-enriched pan sauce, would have been 100 today. She deserves every accolade she gets.
Without Julia Child, I might never have learned to cook. I was a Modern Young Woman, hungry to make my way in the great wide world and determined never to serve in any man’s kitchen.

If this labor dispute continues into the regular season, you are going to see important games changed by bad calls and coaches out of challenges by the end of the first quarter. Continue reading
CBS News: Robert Pattinson kicked off his Tuesday ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange…accompanied by David Cronenberg, the director of his new film Cosmopolis. (Emphasis added.)
