The Hairy Stockings (Legs?) Photo is Trending! But, is it for Real?

It's a universal truth for most women that once temperatures rise, more skin is shown. If your milkshake is bringing all the boys to the yard (included unwanted pervs), take a note from China and put on a pair of super hairy stockings.

No, seriously.

This photo was first posted by HappyZhangJiang on Sina Weibo, a Chinese website much like Twitter, along with the caption:


"Super sexy, summertime anti-pervert full-leg-of-hair stocking, essential for all young girls going out."

Since posting, the picture has gone viral and is listed as one of the most popular posts on Sina Weibo, according to chinasmack.com.

But, are these hairy leggings or just hairy legs? No links to the actual product have yet to be published, according to several sites such as The Atlantic Wire and Mashable.

"What it adds up to is that these wonderful pervert repellents are probably not for sale, taking some of the air out of the joke," wrote author Alexander Abad-Santos for The Atlantic Wire. "And that no one was really driven to create a pair of ugly stockings to get their neighborhood leech to stop leering, could possibly mean that (hopefully) the Chinese cat-calling hasn't [reached] the point of terrible no return (yet)."
Perhaps this is even a nod to the fashion world that hairy clothing may soon become a trend? There was the time that J. Crew sold these tights that looked a lot like hairy legs, even though they were marketed in stores as "lace tights." If you're really into the look, you can always go without shaving or waxing for months. In the meantime, maybe women in China should just resort to wearing pants to thwart attention away from their legs.
