Out of curiosity, I wear short-shorts that look basically like this:

Is that inappropriate?

Also when men wear sweat pants without underwear, and you can see… things… just bobbing around in there.

Even worse … *tights* without underwear. DUDE, *not interested* in the show.

But, then again, I’m queer, what do I know?

Furthermore, leggings and tights will lead to crotch rot because if the cunt can’t breathe it dies (or smell like it). Knee/Thigh high socks or hose are a better choice, though they have a tendency to eventually slip down. Then there is this gator thing? Ah, I forgot the name.

I just stick to wearing loose knee length skirts, and loose gym shorts underneath for the pockets, and when the wind blows up my skirt. This set up is excellent, when it gets too hot I can stick my gym shorts in my bag, or if I want to suddenly climb a tree or whatever I can roll up my skirt and put it away because I have pants underneath.

Are they carrying any of the cool attachments that come with the Hitachi? because if they’re not, you should just go to your local sex-pos sex toy shop and get the hitachi and an attachment.

Also, why would you get your vibrator at a clothing store when you could support local feminist businesses?

I own a HItachi Magic Wand, and it really does work well as a massager. I even got one for a close friend of mine for his birthday. That said, yes, the Hitachi Magic Wand may also be used as a sex toy. In my opinion, it works better as a massager. Other devices make much better sex toys. I reviewed the Hitachi Magic Wand on my blog.

That review was originally on my other blog, but I copied to my main blog so that anyone interested may read it.

Watch for American Apparel to sell the Hitachi attachments next. I bet that’s what’s in store for place now.

I also agree with all the comments about Charney being creepy. I’ve read more than enough about him on various blogs.

The only reason to cover one’s ass in pleasant weather is because you believe in supernatural god-men who tell you that the human body is icky

Why should Dov Charney get a cookie for being sweat-free when AA is known to be a horrible company to work for and deliberately gives its ads a creepy exploitative vibe? I smell a serious whiff of because-I-wanna-shop-there rationalization here.

the only reason that leggings were “OK” (and I use that term very loosely) in the ’80s was because we all wore those ridiculous oversized shirts that went down to our knees. I’m having flashbacks now just thinking about it.

…and, just to agree, Tights Are Not Pants.

I’m more with the aesthetic issue, personally. (And yes, this is a purely subjective, not-rationally-justifiable opinion.) See, my problem is that the human body tends to narrow pretty abruptly from the thighs on down to the ankles. Tights or leggings really emphasize that, drawing attention to the relative largeness of the thighs and thinness of the ankles and making the whole body look top-heavy. Pair that with (as I have often seen leggings used) a looser tunic or blouse, and people start to look like they’re about to tip over if a strong wind blows. So that’s my issue. But then, I wouldn’t take my fashion advice–with my anti-skinny-leggings-and-pants stance I’ve had trouble buying new pants the last couple of seasons, so I must be in the minority here. :P

Disclaimer: I’m British

Y’know, I was utterly confused about this whole “put some pants on” talk for a couple of minutes. I thought you were all suggesting people put some underwear on when they went out. I was all “but how can you tell if someone is wearing pants or not?!”

It has just clicked. In America, pants =/= knickers.

So yes, leggings are not pants. But they do look good under dresses!
