#8  Ahem! I assume you are referring to limbs, sir.

Indeed. Dear Jane Austin's last writings were about the change in the concept of refinement among the gentry and petit bourgeoisie in the early 19th century, a false refinement of which she did not approve. Thank goodness she didn't live to see the explosion of tableware toward the end of the Victorian age -- she would have laughed herself silly, which would not have helped the sales of the novels upon which she depended.

#6  I won't describe the popular opinion of the 1840's and 1850's was concerning the showing of any leg whatsoever, stockings or no.

#5  That black strip is called a seam. It looks so '50s because the lack of seam line on a leg was associated with bare legs and bare legs in the 40s and 50s were considered undignified and common. Maybe those were the words you were searching for. Interesting how the impression has changed with time.

#4  There is something about those type of stockings (Bottoms up!) with the thin black strip running down the back of the leg that just looks so...so...I dunno, '50's maybe? Or even '40's? That and the leopard skin, the black panties and too much eye makeup...not a nice look, Demi, not what you'd call respectable anyway, I'm trying to avoid a certain word here, but certainly some would find it intriguing.

#3  My youngest daughter bunked with Ms. Moore's oldest daughter a few years back (post-Willis and pre-Kutcher) at a summer camp in upstate New York. I became smoking buddies with her since out of the 100 or so family present on visiting day we were the only smokers. I was shocked that she is a tiny thing, thin as a rail, shy and very sweet. Goes to show the magic of photography and cinemantography.
