Sometimes being the girl next door isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Sure, you’re good for a shoulder to cry on, killer advice, and brewskis with the boys. But breaking out of the good-girl persona can be a challenge.

Time to bust out the tried-and-true weapon of every major sex kitten: stockings. Where to turn? The last person you saw wearing L’eggs was holding up a convenience store. Your new mecca: StockinGirl.com. The assortment is like a couture wardrobe for your legs, featuring everything from vintage-style seamed stockings to art-nouveau-print pantyhose. Best of all, the folks at SG understand that bombshells come in all shapes and sizes, which means there are styles for curvaceous or extra-leggy ladies. Knock ’em dead in the bedroom or keep a sexy secret at the office. The choice is yours.

And you can bet your next date won’t involve Pabst Blue Ribbon or fart jokes.
