The latest hosiery trend for both men and women was wallpapered legs. TPR showed his to me. He had patched together left-over scraps of the purple tulip wallpaper to create his new look.

I wasn’t too sure about such a bizarre fashion craze. Had they not considered that some people might be allergic to wallpaper paste? And what about going out in the rain with papered legs? The entire look would be spoilt due to splattering.
