Compression Hose And “Using” Your Legs

Yesterday while cruising around with the radio on ZZ Top’s “Legs” came on the radio. “She’s got legs,” the classic rock gem goes. “She knows how to use them.” It is truly a rock and roll sentiment. The ability to own and operate a body part to one’s own ends, be they towards power, money, or sexual fulfillment. Back when the song was released many of us thought we would be able to own and operate hot legs until the end of time. We never dreamed we would be looking for ways to counteract or cover up varicose veins.

Yet here we are. We have legs and we know how to use them but they are no longer up to former operating standards. It is not that their power has been neutralized, far from it. Those legs can still turn heads and get things going but they need a little extra help from science and stylists working together. That collaboration that is a great boon to the generation we come from which loves its long legs are compression stockings and varicose vein stockings. These items will make all of us look several years younger from the waist down and that is a great service. We’ve got legs after all. Shouldn’t we be able to use them like we’ve always known how?
