Greetings persons of quality!
So today at lunch we found ourselves talking yet again about something that has puzzled us all for what seems like an age. Yes, we were once again discussing the crime against humanity that is the phenomenon of "leggings as pants." We know that this is not a new problem. And we know that we are not the only ones talking about it. But, as we continued to discuss how shocking it is that so many people still fall victim to this so called look we started to laugh about how funny it would be to start a blog dedicated to this very issue. A place to track this phenomenon as it persists in our culture. Because as of right now, it sure doesn't seem to be going anywhere. And so here it is. Our blog dedicated to spreading the word that leggings (as much as some of you may try) are NOT pants.
To start us off I thought I would include this picture of Lindsay
Lohan. Because let's face it she is the long reigning queen of trying to wear leggings as pants. This picture comes to us thanks to ladies at the fabulous blog
Go Fug Yourself, who have long been fighting this battle.
I should also make a side note here about the word leggings, because when I talk about them I drop the last "g" and say "
leggins." I have been made fun of for this, but I have met others who also drop the "g." Maybe I should take a poll?
On another note, I would like to clarify before we get too far into this thing that we do not hate leggings themselves. In fact, we own leggings and wear them. Go leggings! BUT! We wear our leggings with dresses, skirts, or long shirts that are too short to be a dress. Really the only people who can get away with wearing leggings as pants are under the age of seven. If you are a small child then leggings as pants is totally
ok. There are a lot of things that are socially and fashionably acceptable as a child that should not be worn by adults. Just because it works on your four year old cousin does not mean you should try.
Because when walking down the street the
passersby should not be able to see your crotch. No one needs to see your crotch. At least not in public. I mean, what you do in the privacy of your own home is your own business. But, we do not need to be a part of that business. Because of any "pants" out there just waiting to create the dreaded "camel toe" ladies, it's leggings. So throw on a pair with that short skirt or that cute t-shirt dress. Just make sure all your junk is carefully tucked away.
