A Woman's gripe about shopping for panty hose

OK, I know, this is not something normally discussed on message boards. It is more commonly discussed in women's restrooms and locker rooms, etc. Why is it so hard to find panty hose that are the right size and color? I have to attend a hoity toity cocktail party this weekend to celebrate my father in law's upcoming wedding. It is bad enough that I have to wear a dress instead of my Buffett shirts and umbros, but pantyhose, gees! I am a small petite female. I need size A pantyhose in off black preferably with control top ability. There are a myriad of colors and types available in size Q. A smaller but adequate selection in size B. Then, there are like two types and colors of size A. WHY???? Is this a result of the fast food generation? Am I the only size A pantyhose buyer left? If so, that would explain the lack of selection seeing as how I only purchase maybe two pair a year. Sorry to bother y'all with this but I feel much better now.

Whatever you do, buy an extra pair and put them in your purse/car. Nothing more embarrassing than blowing out your pantyhose with a long fingernail and not having a spare pair.
Can you try using self-tanner and going barelegged? It is summer, after all.

That's why I keep my fingernails short.

I'm 5'4" and like 115 on a bad day- on the rare occasion that I wear hose, I wear the B size just because they're not as constricting, and I get fewer runs.

Appreciation like "Wow!" or like jewelry?

which story would you like to hear?
Maybe throw in a corset for good measure. 
I passed size "A" about two decades ago, but there is nothing about them that is NOT a PAIN!
