Did any other silly child like myself NOT get the joke in Mary Poppins where Mr. Dawes laughs himself to death over a joke about a wooden leg. Or maybe I got it but didn't quite understand why a man had killed himself over it. Or Joey in Friends who threw a woman's wooden leg into the fire. I think I missed the joke in that one too. But still, canned laughter ensued.
Anyhow, if wooden legs are to be happy, joyous and smiling occurrences, I'd much rather don these tights by Dutch label EnD by Eva and Delia and share my glee with these kind of wooden legs. Actually their whole hoisery collection in their S/S 10 show is wholly covetable. Tights fetishists like myself will rejoice in parquet floor patterns, growing shrubs and wooden growth rings sprawling all over their legs. Together with their chunky wooden and suede shoes, it's a tights and footwear happy marriage.
The whole collection was a lot simpler than I had imagined given that print features quite heavily in EnD's previous collections.
