OK, guys, we've gotta admit it...a nice pair of legs will definitely get our attention!

There's definitely an "art" to the crossing of the legs, too, as actress Cameron Diaz demonstrates here.

Yep, it takes years of practice to get it just right!

It's just a pair of legs, but, Oh my gosh!

Leg Crossing 101

It's bound to get a reaction from us helpless men.

Like a metronome. Look at those purple heels!

We just can't help ourselves.

We like to look at ladies' legs, and ladies, let's face it...you seem to enjoy showing them off! Hey, you know what they say: if you've got it, flaunt it!

They do catch our eye, don't they? Here's Cyd Charisse in the 1957 Romantic-Comedy musical, "Silk Stockings."

Now that's talent! It's the legs of Cyd Charisse on display again, 5 years earlier, in the 1952 musical "Singin' In the Rain," starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds.

This is why short shorts are so popular...they show more leg!

Here's legs in a box. Still peaks your interest, right? We can't even be sure if those are all girl legs, although they seem to be. (Don't wanna be gazing at any guy legs!)

Check out these gams.

Actress Sharon Stone gave a "flashy" performance in 1992's "Basic Instinct," co-starring Michael Douglas.

What's she doing, crocheting? Honestly, you girls sometimes have no clue!

If something happens to our legs, we're in a world of hurt!

We can't even see the whole girl here, but just those lower extremities keep us looking...

Here's another "partial view"

And another...

Dress 'em up with fancy stockings!

Are those frog legs still twitching? Tastes like chicken!

Crab legs, great with a little butter and lemon!

But, these are better than butter and crab legs any old day!

I don't even care that this girl is pouring oil all over her car's engine. She could pour it in the trunk, for all I care! (I'm sure you ladies know where the oil goes!)

A chorus line of legs...

"Put your legs 'round my shoulder,

Hold me in your arms...Baby,

Squeeze me oh-so-tight,

Show me that you love me, too..."

(Apologies to Paul Anka, and his 1963 hit song "Put Your Head On My Shoulder"

Athletic legs.

It's smoke and mirrors, guys...smoke and mirrors!

Ok, this is a little bit creepy! Besides, I think she's supposed to be like, Spider Woman, and arachnids have 8 legs, not 6, so that makes her an insect. Don't bug me!

She may be choking a cat, but she's showing some leg, and I forgive her!

I don't know, is she selling stools...modeling high heels...it doesn't matter, it's those long, gently swaying legs that draw you in!

The Dum Dum Girls, Rockin' Out and showing some leg!

The lower half of a Robot, going berzerk!

Legs materializing out of thin air!

Carrot legs.

Jumping legs...

Neon legs...

River Dancers...

Legs, with a barefoot bonus.

That's a long drink of water...that gal might take me to the hoop!

The slow camera pan...

Dancin' legs.

Schoolgirl outfit...

Legs, legs, legs...

The calves appear shapelier in high heels...

Ankle bracelet draws attention to the lower leg...

So, that's a whole lot of legs, and if your business "has legs," that means it will continue to be a profit producer for a long time to come.

That's a good thing!
