Pantyhose Craft Week: Part II
For those who travel a lot or have a “black thumb” – it’s…. a Fantasy Fern!
Later, you can gaze at the fern and fantasize about getting back all the hours you spend dying your old stockings green and making a stupid Fantasy Fern.
Oh, but it’s not all room dividers and faux houseplants…. you can also use your old nylons to create a vibrant pantyhose quilt.
So colorful!
So unusual!
A perfect gift for your good friend Frank…. you know, the one with a pantyhose fetish?

Say, Inky. I think it's about time you water that weird fern of yours, it's developing a brownish patch.
Oh, that's supposed to be there -- its just it's beathable cotton panel...

What!? Two Inky's!? There can be only ONE INKY!!
Clearly this situation requires a Thunderdome-type scenario involving a duel-to-the-death where two Inky's enter -- yet only one Inky leaves.
The Thunderdome, of course, will be tastefully crafted from a mesh of colorful discarded nylons and embroidery hoops. The arena will be strewn with various weapons for the combatants to use: macramé hooks, knitting needles, the odd chainsaw or two...

Well, ladies, I think your snarkfest backfired. Here you were trying to belittle Pantyhose Crafts, and already we've gotten 10 good ideas for using old pairs. Didn't see that coming, dija?
NEVER underestimate the power of creativity that worn-out pantyhose inspires...

That weird, gray, dead fern is the creepiest thing I've ever seen. Just looking at it could suck the life out of you.
Will that Inky-thing be on pay-per-view?

I'm still waiting to see the world famous Pantyhose Doll. You remember those, don't you? They were all the rage for the poor kids who couldn't afford a real Cabbage Patch Kid. My mom had one and it freaked me out. She called it "Martha". Funny, we never found dear old "Martha" after Mommy Dearest died. It probably crawled off on it's own accord.

That quilt wouldn't be half bad if it was fabric. But how long would something like that last? Not only is it hideous, it's about as impractical as possible!
I remember the pantyhose dolls, too. I had a 'granny' one. She gave me the creeps.

hmmm, inky-tac-ular cage match on ppv, cool and in the finest tradition of mexican wrestlers, they can wear tiedyed pantyhose on their heads!

i'm actually imagining the inky-tacky-ular cage match with us in an entire tie-dyed pantyhose ensemble. and knowing what I look like....ooo scary.
i hope inky version 2.0 looks better :)

Frank....you mean, Dr. Furter? Yes, he *does* have a rather deep interest in pantyhose. Although he seems to go with fishnets more than anything else...

Will someone out there PLEASE take a pantyhose Thunderdome to the Burning Man this year? Pretty please? I'd do it but I am not in the USA....and by the wya a big heart THANK you for reminding us long-term expats just what American culture is all about: a bunch of folks with Too Much Time and Too Much Money on their hands...

This reminds me of a party game I was forced to play as a kid. You divide the party into two teams. You then shoved a grapefruit all the way down into the toe of one pantyhose leg, and tied the other leg around your waist, so that the grapefruit-stuffed hose hung down between your legs. You then placed an orange on the floor and swiveled your hips back and forth in your best Elvis imitation to try to knock the orange into the goal before the other team.
A better game would have been to swing the grapefruit-pantyhose contraption at the host who forced us to play this game. A grapefruit-in-pantyhose would make a great weapon to whip around due to the large grapefruit mass and stretchy pantyhose. This would be my weapon of choice if I had to fight a cage match in a pantyhose Thunderdome!

I was just picturing pantyhose dolls made out of fishnet stockings instead.
That was wrong.

"Dude! Why does your fern smell like feet?"
Posted by: severina | Apr 8, 2006 9:36:00 PM
Pantyhose doesn't even feel good to *wear*, I'd hate to cuddle up to a whole blanket make of the things!
