Would you believe it: this afternoon I encountered a young woman wearing exactly those "Middle-Earth map -leggings" (combined with a short red coat and black highheeled boots). And it looked exactly the way Lalwendė feared! When I saw the girl approaching from far away I had the impression of bare legs with varicous veins or bruises, and thought "what the heck??" until she war near enough to see the details. (I read your post only afterwards)
