It's reptile season

As shown below, it's now the time for the scales to come out.
Mid-winter. When pants, tights, boots and anything used to cover legs become essential. Us girls get so used to just throwing on pants that when the time comes for us to wear a skirt, we take one short glance at our legs, cringe, then hide them beneath pantyhose. And forget lotion. The appearance of our shins and lower thighs become a thought on the backburner of our minds and we simply forget. Shorts? Heavens no. Try sweatpants.
Then we forget, while our legs go into hiding for these freezing months, that when it becomes time for them to shine, they shine a little too much. The pasty look becomes in again.
Cavemen legs are also acceptable during this time of year. Why pull out the razor when putting on pants is so much easier. Our legs begin to look like hairy alligators. It's ravishing.
