I saw how the worm inherited the wonders of the eye and brain. I paused, examining and analyzing all the minutiae of causation, as exemplified in the change from life to death, and death to life, until from the midst of this darkness a sudden light broke in upon me- a light so brilliant and wondrous, yet so simple, that while I became dizzy with the immensity of the prospect which it illustrated, I was surprised, that among so many men of genius who had directed their inquiries toward the same science, that I alone should be reserved to discover so astonishing a secret.” - Mary Shelley<BR/><BR/>p.s. I dig the thigh highs.

As usual. <BR/><BR/>I would recommend against the buttons because the advantage of those snaps is that you can reposition them as the stockings stretch, either over time or just during the course of the day. With buttons, you'd have (gasp!) sagginess potentially all the way down the leg, especially at the knee and the ankle. ...THAT's why those vintage lingerie pieces always have snaps!<BR/><BR/>If you're having trouble finding them, just cut them out of an inexpensive vintage garter off eBay. You can sometimes find garter findings by themselves for sale on eBay as well. <BR/><BR/>Let us know how it turns out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292173.post-1157147203219540982006-09-01T14:46:00.000-07:002006-09-01T14:46:00.000-07:00eeeee, I'm loving the tall socks! they are going ...eeeee, I'm loving the tall socks! they are going to be so amazing!
