Leg Music

Last week I accompanied my 13 year old nephew to a concert at Carnegie Hall in which his cousin was performing an oboe solo with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.   I enjoy music, but I am not a connoisseur.  In fact, I have been accused of being tone deaf.   Music has never been an art form that has generated a visceral reaction from me.  I am a devotee of silence and the visual, which for me, has a greater power to inspire creative thought.  However, beautiful music is a soothing antidote to a feverish mind and there is nothing like composing oneself beneath the famous white and gold vaulted ceiling of this prestigious salon.  I listened intently to the extraordinary playing of the talented performers, but it was not until after intermission when the entire ensemble gathered to play Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op.52, that my world was literally rocked.  I have no doubt that this Grammy winning company delivered this masterpiece at the highest form of perfection, but there is no denying the genius of Beethoven’s musical  design.  Without any technical knowledge of the intricacies that brilliant symphonic composition demands, I was caught in a tsunami of sound that flooded my entire being with a life affirming spirit of freedom.  I was transformed to a place of sublime joy by one of the greatest symphonies ever written.  I knew I was in the presence of greatness.

Knowing that one is witnessing excellence is often a similar matter of instinct.  A superior product triggers a moment of desire.  This is exactly how I responded when I saw the ultra-sheer Lunelle 08 stay-ups from the Falke brand.  This bestselling hosiery style is a legwear phenomenon developed by the Falke brand with the technology of four generations of family innovation.  Composed with flat seams, reciprocal heals, an invisible ladder guard at the toes and a silicone coating at the top to prevent slipping, these fine 8 denier stay-ups are constructed to endure. Knitted with super soft yarns in 3 sizes, they are gently tinted with a pearly luster providing a sensual glimmer of cosmetics for a woman’s legs.  But the crescendo of this style is the gorgeous peacock feather lace band that places these sexy nylons in a unique cadre of creative design and begs the wearer to “strut her stuff”.
