Seeing that one of the science fiction tv series uses a Holodeck to create any scenery or time period I thought I'd use it to go back to 1967 but use today's digital camera technology to capture what was missed (for instance all the stockings on display due to the nature of the fashion with everyday women).
So I programmed the Holodeck to take place at a daytime art society meeting in the year 1967. This meeting was held in the spring of a nice warm day after Easter so women would be wearing some of their latest additions to their wardrobe. Being that it was the late 60's the miniskirt era was in full swing and all these women wore as short of a skirt or dress that they dared given that they had stockings on.
Many of the well to do, artsy, and influential married women took part in such social events such as art museums, charities etc. They did this in the 1960's as their husbands worked and they stayed home to manage the household. Many of the women did their shopping in skirts and dresses with nylons as part of their daily public appearance. You can imagine the added fashion appearance that those women attending a daytime social event would have as they were dressed to impress other women. This story will explain what it would be like to have been at one of these events but using digital cameras (some hidden) to capture the many views of stockings and girdles that were part of that era in everyday situations.
There was a monthly meeting of a major city art social event that was typically attended by all women mostly of the society class. This was attended by women and some brought their adult daughters with them also to such events. This was a way to improve their social status and network among one another and further enhance their husband's career by belonging to the right society clubs etc. Being that it was a social event all these women got dressed up for the event. This Holodeck scenario took place before pantyhose was mainstream in public.
So today the monthly meeting was a combination of art gallery business as well as a guest speaker to discuss and demonstrate a new modern concept called meditation, guided meditation to be exact. Meditation was an Eastern medicine approach to relaxation and awareness and something that would be of interest to expose society's well-to-do women to this new mind/body technique that was an upcoming thing.
So the usual women attended and many brought with them a friend or daughter to listen to this speaker as well. Today the meeting will be attended by about 30 women. Ranging from the mid and upper 20's to into the early 60's.
As the doors opened into the meeting room the guests could see that the customary rows of individual chairs were replaced with long tables all facing the front of the room and the podium. There were four tables in each row, each table would sit two people. So each row sat eight people and there were four rows of tables. These tables were of the laminate type with a wood look to the top of them and they had chrome legs at each corner and a slight three inch perimeter tan colored top edge supporting the table top. Basically a common conference table at the time. Padded chairs were neatly located for sitting at these tables to take notes on etc.
The women all filed into the room among much social talk. Such comments could be heard as: Hello, hugs of hello, love your outfit, you look great, love your purse, what is your husband doing, what are your kids doing, etc.
The women all filed into the room among all the greeting and they began to find a seat at each table. Sitting in front of the room was the host, the designated head of the art society, Mrs. Hall. So the right of her was the guest speaker on meditation, Cindy Flowers. Cindy was Mrs. Hall's niece from California and she was dressed unlike the others attending in blue jeans and a tie-dyed shirt.
Mrs. Hall quickly called everyone in to sit down and called the meeting to order. Mrs. Hall's staff was seated in the front row with all the other guests behind them. Mrs. Hall, so you know was a very reserved and proper woman, always perfectly dressed and today was no exception. Rumor had it that she just turned 50 but had no birthday party and would not admit to beign now 50. She was of average height, five foot six inches or so, and a size 8. She maybe was between an 8 and a size 10 but she wore a firm fitting girdle that made her a perfect size 8.
Unknown to everyone was that I set up the table layouts and chose the tables carefully and I ordered 36 mini digital video cameras from the 21st century to secretly record this meeting, or more importantly the voyeur fashion show that was to unknowing to take place at the meeting. I had mounted two mini cameras discretely under each table, one in front of each chair. The camera was mounted underneath the table top behind the front facing edge (that concealed it), and facing the seated person. In other words each camera had a perfect discrete view under the table looking directly at a person sitting in the chair. And was less that two feet away from each seated woman. Since the fashion in the 60's was all dresses and skirts I figured the camera would capture many lovely leggy views as this meeting progressed.
I also had four cameras discretely placed on the side and front and back walls of the room as well the 32 cameras under the table ones facing the seated women. Since these cameras were miniature and never having been invented in the 60's no one had a clue what to look for. So their small size was ideal to conceal in the surroundings of the room. And only if one was to get on the floor and look up under the table would anyone see a little black box, but without any technology like that in the 60's no one would ever think it was a camera, but just part of the table. The camera in the front of the room was located in an almost visible location as it sat on top of a potted artificial tree, hidden behind some ground cover at the base of the potted tree. Still not visible to the eye but I knew where it was.
The four cameras around the room could be used to sync each table camera location with who was seated there so that you knew who's legs and skirt you were looking at. All these cameras had SD cards to record the entire event. These cameras would finally provide the young men of today with the documentation of what the older guys saw in the 60's when they said stockings and girdle views were an everyday sight.
The cameras were all turned on before the doors opened and as planned the cameras captured the women from the time they sat down to the end of the meeting.
What was captured was amazing! There was even more upskirts than I could have imagined. With the safety of being only women in the room and sitting at a table, the leg crossing, skirt or dress siding higher and higher over time and even some women sitting without their legs crossed provided more upskirts and leggy views than likely most of all the online pics of today.
Oh how nice the views were in the 60's. These videos made me recall those days where if you watched a woman long enough, getting in or out of a car, sitting on a sofa at a holiday get together, having a women play on the floor with a little kid, grocery shopping and watching them reach high or low for an item on a shelf all of those scenarios would almost guarantee one of a stocking top view or even luckier the view or a girdle or garter too.
Tan stockings were the typical well dressed code then, with just some minor shade differences in the color of the hose. Some stockings were longer or shorter depending on the style and the size, thickness and length, of the woman's legs.
So what was some of the observations and views? Well I will share a few here now.
So as Mrs. Bev Hall conducted the monthly business a variety of views were seen from under the tables. The women in the front row, being Mrs. Hall's staff were all engaged in the meeting and not aware of how all their skirts or dresses kept hiking upward as time went on. They crossed or uncrossed their legs as they took notes, or discussed things. The views under the tables were perfect. The other guests, meaning not staff, were less engaged but polite to let the business at hand be discussed. Since the guests were less engaged they did fidget at times with many leg crossings, skirt tugging down and sometimes leaning to the side to get their purse off the floor etc.
Needless to say they all had stockings on. I can attest that each camera did pick up a stocking top or more at each seated woman. Some showed more than stocking tops, some much more. So a combination of girdles were worn, from panty girdles, to long leg panty girdles, to open bottom girdles, to even a garter belt. Not all of these were obvious as to which woman wore what until the meditation started.
Any man would have just enjoyed the under table pleasure of seeing these well to do women unknowingly showing off their legs, and hose and more.
So the business part was over and Mrs. Hall announced that now her niece Cindy will take over and introduce us to meditation. Cindy explained that she would first talk about what it is and what benefits it has and then everyone will take part in a meditation with her help and guidance.
All the women perked up as many of them never heard of meditation and none of them ever tried it. So there was much interest shown, as they all became focused on Cindy.
Cindy got all of their attention and began by going over what meditation was and what it wasn't. She went through the benefits and then she came to the point where she said that she was going to take them all thought a guided meditation. The group was all keenly interested in this.
So Cindy told them all to push their chairs back a little to give them more room between them and the table. She then told them to sit upright and make sure that their butt was back in the chair as well to get the right posture. Then she showed them the classic pose as she sat upright in her chair, slipped off her sandals, parted her legs, placed her feet flatly on the ground, rested her hands on her knees with the fingers pointed up and lightly touched her thumb and index fingers.
So now that they pushed back a bit their legs were all in the light and not in the shadows of the table and the cameras under the tables got even better lighting to see their legs and what was under their outfits.
Cindy then instructed, "Make sure you take off your shoes and put your feet flat on the floor. Taking off your shoes will help ground you properly to the earth."
For those women that were in pumps they easily took off their shoes. Some slipped them off with one foot and left them under their table, others slipped them off with their foot or hand and neatly picked them up and placed them adjacent to their chairs. The women that leaned over to pick their shoes up all gave a nice leggy stocking top view as the leaned over to one side.
I will find out that as the meditation went on that the views captured by the cameras just got better and better.
The women that had heels that had a strap were initially hesitant to take them off as they did not slide off neatly as the women wearing pumps.
Cindy sensed some hesitation and reiterated the need to take the shoes off and said it was okay to take a minute or two for them to take off their shoes. Several women in strap like shoes looked around and found others unstrapping their shoes so the rest of them did likewise.
The cameras captured perfectly these women undoing the straps and taking off their shoes. Some women slipped their one leg to the side of the chair and reached down to undo the strap, some women crossed their legs to lean over and undo them and others crossed their legs with their ankle at their knee (legs widely parted, oh my the views) and they gave some of the best views. Needless to say undoing a strap heel was another good way for women to accidently show their stocking tops and girdles.
So with the women now bare foot, well they had nylons on, and feet on the floor and sitting up straight, Cindy issued the next step.
Cindy said, "Okay now with you sitting upright and feet on the floor you will now part your legs so your knees are in line with your shoulders."
The women looked around since that would mean no longer keeping their knees together. Mrs. Hill was the first one to say something.
