They Shocked The Hell Out Of Me

Tonight I walked into my local Target to buy some dog food and trash bags. While in there, I decided to buy a pair of black pantyhose. If you have read my earlier posts (here, here, here, and here), you  know for well over a year now I have been frustrated and outraged that Target [...]

Hosiery Woes

Posted in race, womanhood, tagged , , on October 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

For the past year, I have received approximately a thousand hits concerning my dilemma of being unable to find economically priced pantyhose in a flesh-colored shade suitable for women of color. See here. Although I used to work in the corporate world and was able to shell out $8-$10 per pair for a name-brand at [...]

No Nude Pantyhose Sellout

Posted in womanhood, tagged , , on February 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

This weekend while shopping at Macy’s, I gave into corporate greed and bought two pair of Hanes Ultrasheer Pantyhose in “Cocoa.”  “Java” and “Gentlebrown” were just a shade too dark.  I shelled out $14.00 for just two pair and it saddens me because if Hanes still made and Target still sold the “Honey” day sheer [...]

If you’ve read some of my past posts, you’ll know that as a woman of color, I’ve had a hard time finding affordable flesh-colored pantyhose.  So-called “Nude” hosiery and “Buff Beige,” which seems to be in abundance, just does not work for me my dose of melanin.  So I spiraled into months of passive anger, [...]

No Nude to Apply Update

So back in April, I posted about how much trouble I was having finding flesh-colored pantyhose as a woman of color in Atlanta.  Well, in protest I decided to go sans pantyhose for the summer.  It’s just too damn hot anyway.  Since browner skin is prone to dark spots I did something I thought I’d [...]

No Nude to Apply

Posted in atlanta, tagged , , , , on April 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

So, like any self-respecting woman, I hate pantyhose.  Yet they are a necessary evil of my profession when I’m all suited up and looking lawyerly.  But buying pantyhose is almost as painful as wearing them, especially as a woman of color.  I finally found a brand I like, in a shade I like, at a [...]
