Otto, Otto, Otto... thigh-highs are so called because they come up to the thighs. Lacy is wearing knee-highs.

Otherwise known as FMB's or "Fuck Me Boots", due to the fact that certainly early adopters of said footwear were generally on the market for a bit of action.

And actually, if I'm perfectly honest, I probably would.

They've tried to make a presenter of a show for men sexy, big deal.

There's a reason why Ryan Seacrest presents American Idol and E etc and it has nothing to do with talent. Women just don't find naked flesh attractive in the same way men do.

But it's because we are starved of decent ladies in our day-to-day jobs that we become so intrigued by the slightest flash of flesh. It's a vicious circle.....honest.

I do however agree with Phil that she probably look better on a slightly fuzzy and not particularly close-up camera shot. Soft focus I think they call it :)
