Panty Hose:<\/span><\/strong> Image Dynamite<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\nPanty Hose. One pair can blow the whole look, the whole meeting, the whole negotiation, the whole opportunity. Can you believe something that costs so little can cost<\/em> so much?<\/p>\n

Have You Been Panty-Hosed?<\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\nPanty Hose. Two little words, so much passion. It\u2019s the most emotionally charged image subject of our time. It even beats visible thongs.<\/p>\n

There is no right or wrong. There\u2019s just what is. If you want to survive, you better be able to navigate the minefields.<\/p>\n

There Are Two Camps; The Believers And The Unwrapped<\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The Believers. They believe women can\u2019t leave the house, go to work, attend an important event, or even wear shoes without pantyhose. To them, panty hose are a sign of respect, that you take yourself seriously, you mean business, and you\u2019re \u201cdressed.\u201d If you aren\u2019t wearing panty hose, then you are seen as a slacker, unkempt, crude, an amateur, and poor-mannered. In fact, the Believers are so distracted by the absence<\/em> of panty hose that they are unable to hear what you are saying or recognize your accomplishments.<\/p>\n

The Unwrapped. They believe there is never an excuse for pantyhose. Period. If you are wearing pantyhose, you are seen as uptight, antiquated, dull, unable to keep up physically and mentally, and unworthy of their time. The Unwrapped are so distracted by the presence<\/em> of panty hose that they are unable to hear what you are saying or recognize your accomplishments.
\nFashion Rules<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The status of pantyhose is changing. We see signs of this in fashion magazines and in Corporate America. Fashion magazines have been telling us to stop wearing pantyhose for more than 5 years. In 2007, after 44 years, the conservative Mary Kay Corporation relaxed it\u2019s dress code requirement to allow the sales force to go without panty hose. This event is equivalent to a 9.5 earthquake in the beauty and corporate worlds.<\/p>\n

None of this means you necessarily have to stop wearing them. If you wear pantyhose here the rules \u2013<\/p>\n
