Shanika....A Curious Accessory

I was smitten by this pretty, saucy young lady--and that was before I noticed her fascinating legwear. I don't believe I've ever seen a knee brace worn better. Her brace, combined with the boots, brought back fond memories of the Bionic Woman, complete with dramatic sound effects.

As though a Jaime Sommers flashback were not treat enough, Shanika provided yet another delight: she is a student of anthropology! My, we had so much to discuss. She also writes a blog called "Life is Pichey".

PS: I attempted to trace the origins of the knee brace, to no avail. I did, however, discover that Earl Dickson invented the Band-Aid (reputedly to aid his accident-prone bride).
