Sorry, I am therefore disabling to the comments.

Hopefully YouTube will come up with a better spam solution soon.

She shaves her legs and she is not a hippy. The video is just discussing the effect of advertising on culture.

No where in the video did she say that she is against people shaving their legs, you added that in yourself.

[bke274]

That's how I took it as well. The reality is 25 years or so ago there were pantyhose commercials all over tv and women wore pantyhose a good bit. Today they are pretty much extinct and you don't see rarely see women wearing them. That isn't a statement in favor of or against the current trend, just a statement of fact. Whether one thinks the current trend is good or bad, is a matter of opinion, and for the record I vote for bad.

[YourOasis97]

not all women who dont shave are ugly. thats a very narrow-minded view, if i ever heard one. thats what i was trying to comment about. "being a woman is to be a girl" lol yeah, right. good luck with that concept. not all girls are the same or girly. and dont come to me saying "oh, then their dykes" no their not. they just prefer pants over skirts, or are just too lazy to shave and dont bother if they never wear skirts or shorts on a regular basis.

[YourOasis97]

oh please, im beautiful enough as it is. and of course the girls are beautiful, i consider all of us to be beautiful no matter what, you just seem to be more superficial about the concept of beauty. i personally dont like pantyhose, their uncomfy, heh.

[YourOasis97]

umm, yeah then you didnt watch the vid. so do your own research, or if you rather not question things, then stick to your close-minded idea that we have to just 'cuz and just to look good. please... 0.>

[lovechild6969]

It's great that your series of video clips tell the truths avout the origins of what many,(if not most)of us take for granted as a norm or don't think about too often, just because everyone does it or says so.

[intelligenceisnot]

Baby, you know we are waiting breathlessly for you to part your ways :)

Don't be a tease dear.

Let's be having you now, what?

[crashtheface]

We are all one. Duh!

There is no 'Male' way of being just like there is no 'female' way of being.Our brains, our bodies, personalities, abilities, etc are SO SIMILAR it's ridiculous!

read up on the Willy Lynch papers, that's the guy who the named lynching after. He was a SLAVE MASTER who was enlisted to help teach others how to CONTROL SLAVES!

His main points are to divide

Male & female

Young & Old

Lighter skinned & darker skinned

[YourOasis97]

amen, i agree! :]

[crashtheface]

Realize that these 'rules' have bee applied to ALL OF US for centuries before he was born. These are NOT his inventions!

[po3a8]

Body hair is gross to me... just a personal thing I have. Especially when a guy is wearing a wifebeater or something and puts his arm around you and that huge tuft of armpit hair is like right there ugghhhhh

[AlexanderKlein]

I really like a girl's shaved legs... advertising or not. I mean, this is a VERY NARROW vision about the subject. As if US was the entire humanity... people in different times and cultures shaved before advertising, Doc. Sorry, but you should read more

[MarilynFilth]

I don't bother shaving anything. I couldn't care less what men do and don't find attractive; as far as I am concerned they can all have a circle jerk over glossy images if they want to. Me I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of me, inside or out.

[soccom8341576]

Good! We need more individuals like you.

[trumpet12345]

yes be pissed with the status quo! Don't conform to the advertising/propaganda. Now if only i could find girls around me with that mindset...

[YourOasis97]

lol

[trumpet12345]

high five

[theylive23]

Personally I don't think that an attractive woman should have any hair growing out of her body below the nape of the neck (completely shaven) but lots of hair growing from her scalp.

Certainly no facial hair.

[zutekeela]

did advertising, play a part in the popular removal of pubic hair ? , that is another area that should be void of hair

[psychetruth]

I think Penthouse magazine and the porn industry set the standard for that.

It was also affected by smaller swimsuits which require one's bikini line to shaved as well.

[crashtheface]

When I was littler I used to think that brazilian waxes were weird & disturbing. Like you want to have sex with a little girl...

Well fast forward a few years and let me tell you, it FEELS GOOD!

It actually feels the best when BOTH of you are completely hairless. You will never feel so close to him! It does look odd & he might feel funny for a 'mo (believe me, he will be RUNNING for the razor next time!)LOL

We are talking about psychology, remember people are CONSTANTLY telling you how to feel

[bretbowman]

I absolutely LOVE it when girls wear pantyhose. They make their legs LOOK breathtakingly beautiful and the way that pantyhose FEEL on a girl's legs... OH MY GOSH!!! I'd do literally ANYTHING to be able to feel that feeling for hours at a time!

[bke274]

I second that motion.

[UcanbeGOD]

I hate to jump on the bandwagon but hairy legs on a woman or hairy pits...*shivers with disgust. I dont want to even think about it! Its no more unfair I guess than saying a man should shave to look like a man or vice versa.

[SpiritualSensuality]

As a man, I say, when I want a women with clean legs, me as a man also have same hairless legs, as we live in a world where I do not want to know myself as a person who defines "male" as "hairy". So I await from every woman I like in intimacy to be hairless, completely all over her body, 100% shaved and hairless or I can't engage with a woman unless I am in such a mindless, non-thinking condition that I need sex, and as humans can decide with the own mind what to do / want, this is etiquette.

[Wishes6336]

by beholding you become changed... so true

[imLuvlee]

I guess I am lucky that I don't have to shave my legs because my legs are hairless (Asian) .. but I have to shave my underarm though ...

[trueuniverse2100]

I once dated a French girl while living in London; she was kind of hairy but I blocked out the details of where.

[trueuniverse2100]

Women need to stop shaving their legs and underarms, if they want to, but none of them will ever be my girlfriend.

[ballpark4]

thats funny

[pumpkinking422]

DAMN!!!She looks so HOT in pantyhose!!!!

[MerlotMan]

I think Sandys goal is to turn us on. I love her knee socks and pantyhose legs. She is sexy

[klonedklein]

Stockings are sexy, but why you have to wear pantyhose to work, and why you accept this, is another question never asked. Humans make me laugh cause nothing is ever questioned by the masses.. nothing!

High heels look great too, but women always complain after work, but you wear them? Who said it had to be so? maybe for a Ball, but why working as a clerk?

I guess it is so you women, and some men, can keep the corporate machine moving...daily buying another pair.

Peace.

Seek, knock, and Ask

[alex4dh]

People like you give me hope in human race - thank you for this SANE comment. Please do not change.

[imLuvlee]

I don't understand it too, in some culture. It is formal for women to wear pantyhose to work .. !??!!

[pinkviolet77]

Great video. Interesting. :-)

[margittarget]

I don't shave

[TobiIsAG00dBoy]

Modernization really ruined American society, (if it can even be called that anymore) saying woman have to be so skinny you can see their ribs, (if you can get the hot-air-balloons on her chest out of the way) and that men have to be so big and muscular that they look like if they flexed all their muscles at once they'd rip their skin off,

and then when someone escapes the medias mind control and accepts their own idea of beauty all the sudden they have a "mental disorder"

[heryazdigimbeentaken]

ur pantyhose is good too

[intactivist1]

When silk stockings were scarce during the second world war some women had seams tattooed on the backs of their legs.

[AmbientEmbrace]

ah i miss Sandy,

[dianacwolf]

An interesting video. I did wonder where this practice came from. My Mom came from Germany and did not originally shave her legs. My Dad noticed it right off, but liked it because it was different. (Mom quickly caught on and started shaving like all the American chicks.) Oddly enough, when she first taught me to shave my legs, she said to just shave to above the knee. Maybe some weird throw-back to skirts that were that length? My peer group corrected me quickly enough. :)

[todieandwither]

Is this just extra footage from Sandy's Psychology In Advertising video?

[forzacorean]

This lecture is to make a change at former time.

When can I see Shannon od Sandy?

[surfer411]

I for one am glad this advertising worked, I really like shaved legs :) they are nice

[TheActingFox]

Yay! Sandy is back!

[Alprazolam]

you know i totally did not realize that women kept their legs unshaven until that late in the late 40's...hm

[mcurren2004]

Very interesting.  Thank you for inviting me.

Mary

[moxx064]

this is a repeat, is Sandy still making vids for you?

[abstractactivist]

It was interesting how you said "objectionable hair" objectively but not about high skirts and low stockings; "otherwise you look like a slut."

[bubber25]

wheres the 2nd video to your fetish video im interested in the whole used panties thing....becuz yes im a perv

[jonnda]

WTF?!? picture went black near the end.

[jasdecoy]

"otherwise you look like a SLUT" lol, that made my laugh!

[ftmjake]

Ditto

[imLuvlee]

Yeah .. it's funny !

[wendycraig]

This was an interesting video, but I found Sandy's super-short skirt distracting, strange and, well, unflattering. It's just not a flattering length for sitting down, it makes her look like she's not wearing any skirt at all. I'm not hating on Sandy, but, girl to girl, a just slightly above-the-knee skirt would've showed off her legs just as well and looked a lot prettier, too. But otherwise, interesting stuff!

I've seriously always wondered about the origins of nail polish...

[WakeUnderMoon]

What you find distracting, the majority of youtube viewers find attracting. And thats the name of the game...

[shortwaiver]

Women with airpit hair and leg hair does not really get my mojo risin' so this is a good thing

[cobrachoppergirl]

I'm starting to wonder if Sandy doesn't have some kind of psychological fixation on sex. Too much influence of Freud in her studies, not enough Skinner. All her videos reference sex in some way and show off her legs. Oh shoot, poodle skirts & bobby sox, time for me to go back to killing boys online. Better than sex, just as messy and organic and primal.

[Heltblind]

Shaving before drinking iowaska :)

[WakeUnderMoon]

I never knew that women have to shave their legs and armpits. I know ones that dont. I also never knew that certain lengths of pantyhose are worn exclusively by "sluts" (your opinion??) with some length of clothes. I did know that advertisers prey on stupid peoples fears, and have heard that explained many better ways than this.

Where is that breeding guy? He actually talked about good shit.

[sabeansiy]

my thoughts exactly.

[WakeUnderMoon]

one could guess that videos like this serve mainly to gather some sort of youtube fame statistic, I subscribed because of breeding and i want more breeding damn it.

[sabeansiy]

yea, gotta love that John Breeding.

[Taker882006]

I know one thing, women who shave there legs make me happy

[joness105639]

hmm, which came first, the objection to the hair or the product?  Kinda like the chicken and egg thing.

[pi314too]

To quote Bette Midler:

Shave your legs...Six months later you gotta shave 'em again.

Why bother?

[Beatnuk]

EVERYBODY! You need to see "century of the Self". A documentary-series by Adam Curtis. It goes into the heart of how these type of things come into existence. How Freud's nephew Edward Bernay's used Freud's theories in order to manipulate the masses on a large scale through commercials and PR-stunts.

It'll help put all of this into perspective.

[psychetruth]

I've seen that. Yea it's amazing stuff. I highly recommend people watch it as well.

[thinkofwhy]

Common sense is dead. Long live Capitalism! :(

[JammyBtard]

5 stars and fav'd.

You should do more videos. : )

[mrzack888]

It's disgusting. The World have been brainwashed.

[SierraWolf]

I enjoy listening to this lady discuss pantyhose. Her voice is pleasant,...

I've noticed that almost all women in the same age group as the lady in this vid, NEVER wear pantyhose.

Perhaps there is a generational component to women's wearing of hose.

[stealth5976]

Very Interesting Video! 5 Star's And Favorites

Why does this video make me think of Joe Namath?
