Pantyhose

Glorious Hats, this is for you...

As you can see from the photos below, Muddear was well put together and absolutely adorable for the funeral. Hey...we've got to make the best out of difficult situations.

Nevertheless, Muddear had a pretty dress, wig, and complimentary jewelry. The only thing missing was pantyhose. Knowing that Muddear ABHORS anything that fits snug, I dreaded both purchasing and making her wear them. To save myself from the emotional pain and suffering, I left Muddear at home and set out on Monday to purchase the pantyhose. Yes...it was last minute. Yes...I struggled with what color to purchase - cream to match the lace on her dress, black to match the body of the dress, suntan to match her skin tone, black because it was a funeral....you get the picture. As though that were not enough, I struggled with what style - thigh highs or control top or re-inforced toe or control top with re-inforced toe, sheer, ultra sheer... the list goes on and on. And finally - What size? While Muddear is petite in stature - "baby got back!" (Are you having Sir Mixalot flashbacks?)

Anyway...I ended up purchasing two pair of Suntan pantyhose with the re-enforced toe - one size A and another size B. In addition I purchased two pair of black knee highs. I simply thanked the good Lord that Sharon had the responsibility of getting Muddear dressed! On Tuesday morning (the day of the funeral) Sharon came downstairs looking exhuausted about 45 minutes prior to leaving.

If looks could kill, I'd be a dead woman! Sharon simply stated...

"Nick...I got the pantyhose on her, but she was pissed! When she comes downstairs DON'T even mention them or you'll be startin a fight!

Just know this...we are N-E-V-E-R doing that again!"
