Mini Skirt Monday #81: Leg X-ing
One common complaint of the mini was the annoyance of having to constantly be mindful of you were sitting. Unlike pants and long dresses, sitting with legs akimbo could result in a glorious or embarrassing eyeful (depending on your perspective). Thus, high school yearbooks and family albums from the early seventies are full to the brim with girls with legs crossed and strategically placed hands for cover. I'm sure it became almost reflexive for the women, but still something to be cognizant of nonetheless.
Anthony Quinn, you sly dog. So, in a constant effort to milk the Mini Skirt Monday for all it's worth, this post shall hereby be devoted to The Crossing of the Legs. Enjoy.

As a boy, I owned one of those classic G.I. Joe action figures. Nowadays, I’d much prefer to have the private eye Jim Rockford figure shown above. It’s not a perfect likeness of James Garner, star of The Rockford Files (1974-1980), but the effort is certainly worthy of praise. And it even comes with a miniature replica of Rockford’s kitchen cookie jar (right), in which the L.A. sleuth hid his gun.
Unfortunately, this item from the “World’s Greatest Super-Sleuths” collection “is not available in stores,” according to Facebook’s Official James Garner Fan Page. Instead, it “was made by a fan of the show.”
For fans of Jim Rockford!
