Are Thigh High Socks Sexy or Skanky?

There really isn't anything that you can't apply the 'sexy vs. skanky' question to:

- Peanut Butter ... sexy or skanky?
- A visible thong ... sexy or skanky?
- A tight top paired with tight pants ... sexy or skanky?
- Being a fast typer ... sexy or skanky?
- And now, thigh high socks ... sexy or skanky?

I began considering this debate one night after I got dressed for a gig. I went out to my living room and one of my male roommates told me he loved the outfit, especially the socks. Then my female roommate asked me if I was "trying to look like a cheap prostitute." Of course, I huffed and puffed and told her no as I went back to my room to work on some routines for the evening.

Now, after dancing to a few songs, my socks started to fall down. I realized it would annoy me too much to tug them up every 30 seconds, so I decided not to wear them. That left one roommate thinking I was crazy not to wear them, while the other one thought I was more classy than I appeared 20 minutes ago. Same socks, same legs ... and two completely different views. One view was sexy, one was skanky.

My point is every person in the world will never agree that something is 100 percent either sexy or skanky. There are men out there that want to see a g-string on the woman walking in front of them. My advice is do and wear what makes you feel sexy and good about yourself. If you feel good in a tight top and tight pants (even though I consider it a fashion no-no), then wear it. But be prepared when someone says it's sexy, and also be prepared when someone says it's skanky.

Remember what's skanky to someone is sexy to another. It's kind of like "one person's trash is another's treasure."

P.S. I did wear those thigh high socks a different night!
