But then some like a big old white boot setting off a mini flamenco outfit. I'm not sure what I think. Long and lumpy or short and stumpy?

And some clever clogs wear over-the-boot tights in practice to keep their boots clean for competitions. Or indeed it could just be a huge money-making venture on the part of skating tights manufacturers (except I heard on the 'vine that the most well-known co has gone under.... so maybe crimes against parents' purses doesn't pay!) <br /><br />Ask me another.MadameSmokinGunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369302102195138989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588974102939585635.post-63241874916881060552010-06-15T03:57:07.080-07:002010-06-15T03:57:07.080-07:00Why do they wear the tights OVER the skates, Madam...Why do they wear the tights OVER the skates, Madame?
