At the football game there was a young lass in pink pj sweats that said “born juicy”. Ugh. They were practically see through… just because you’re at a football game doesn’t mean you don’t have to get dressed for public.
Sweats are bad yeah, but I hate pajama pants even more. You couldn’t even fucking bother to change out of your pj’s before you left the house? Even better – the pj’s with teased hair and full makeup. You actually planned this as a ‘look’? GTFO.
What’s wrong with sweatpants? And why is it only wrong on a girl?
I definitely agree about the pajama pants though…sooo not right
People who wear Crocs have the fashion sense of a garden gnome.
Pajama pants are not for wearing into restaurants either.
If you’re going to wear sweatpants, makes sure they fit. Camel-toe and Ball-bulge are not fashionable and likely never will be.
Who gives a shit? Seriously do people actually walk down the street and get offended by what type of pants or shoes a stranger is wearing? Is this bitch written by a ten year old?
Sweatpants were okay in the 80’s but nowadays, you simply look like a slob. Unless you intend to wear them for their designed purpose of doing exercise, then leave them at home.
people don’t dress properly for the weather, i see them shivering all the time. i don’t give a flying fuck what folks wear
I don’t understand why these tiny teenage girls wear those ugly baggy sweat pants with the crotches at their knees all over the place. It was bad when the guys were doing it, and it is still bad when the girls do it.
I saw a girl in skin tight blue jeans with a pair of baggy sweat pants over them with the waist band just under her bum. What is the point? It looks terrible.
hey seb. don’t be dissin on garden gnomes^^^
The WORST trend? Girls wearing stretch/yoga pants. As regular pants. I don’t care what kind of shape you have — it looks ridiculous.
Young girls dressed as streetwalkers because they (or their parents) think it makes them look sophisticated and grownup when all it really does is make them look good to pervy pedos.
I agree with jdp21…..those stretchy yoga pants end up being eating by the woman’s ass. Don’t believe me. Just pray you’re not walking up the stairway to yoga class and encounter one. GAG~
What about if you wear leggings with long sweaters… is that ok?
as long as you’re warm and comfy pf why would anyone care?
I have no problem with yoga pants because they’ve brightened my day a few times. crocs piss me off and are actually bad for your feet! The fake crocs are the worst.
I saw a guy weraing pyjama pants this week on the bus. They were res and orange plaid flannel ones. I thought it was bad enough seeing girls wearing them.
Personally I can’t say much about the sweat/yoga pants. I’ve had 3 surgeries in the last year and my stitches all fall across my pant line. I throw on yoga pants and wear them for a couple weeks after my surgeries because they’re the only comfortable thing for me to wear. The thought of jeans rubbing against them makes me cringe.
I have never worn sweat pants out but I’ll throw on the yoga pants to get groceries. My only rule is that my bum is covered. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cute little bum. I just prefer to have a sweater or top that covers it.
And to think I gave up Crocs for Sketcher Shape-Ups. Well, at least I’m taller.
And think of how fit you are now, TTFN, never mind stylish, with those faboosh sneaks!
And don’t even get me started on bad tattoos, if I see one more tat telling me to live every day ___ or life is ___
You know what they say: one person’s hideous artistic expression is another person’s adorable butterfly tramp stamp.

I find the leggings + long shirt combination to be…interesting. 😉
Interesting?? haha
And by interesting I mean slightly arousing. 😉
1- Sweatpants are the shit not because im lazy or have no fashion sense. Because they are beyond comfy and warm. I usually dress nice but on those tired days, sweats are the way to go.
2- Yoga pants are my favorite. Yes they are swallowed by usually female ass. I love it. Nothing better than walking up the stairs behind a hottie whos ass has literally eaten her Lulu pants. Fantastic!! 🙂
3- Sweatpants with HOT, JUICY or BABE worn across them are a huge turnoff. Usually pink or blue with diamond lettering, they are gross. Even worse when its a 18-20 year old chick wearing them complimented by a stupid bookbag featuring Dora the Explorer or some other animated kids show.
Who gives two shits about what others have on as long as their ass is covered?
Because I’m sure everyone here criticizing the outfits of others has such impeccable style sense themselves.
anything that looks like a car, but sounds like a bad case of bean farts. and noise, thinly veiled as music. next….
My personal top 5:
1. Crocs worn in public.
2. Flip-Flops worn with jeans.
3. Sweat pants worn by folks who are obviously not on their way to or back from the gym.
4. Although least frequently seen: track pants worn with a leather jacket.
5. Quick dry, cargo, hiking-type pants worn with a tucked-in shirt on casual Fridays.
1. Yoga Pants = Lulu, and boys, you should be thanking them for making such fantastic pants because they make a girl’s ass look amazing… ask anyone. I wear them all the time, groceries, school, meeting up with friends, etc.
2. I don’t ask much, but please don’t wear pajama pants to school or to an exam. You’re in 4th year, and in a few months you will be graduating to be an industry professional. Showing up to your finance exam in the same clothes you slept in is just disrespectful. Think about it.
just yesterday, at lacewood, by the bank there, by way of macronalds. there was this young thing of maybe 15-16, pushing a stroller, with another kid of of maybe a year or so old. in p.j.’s and socks, no shoes, just fucking white socks, with a hole in the right one of the toe sticking out. what a fucking maroon.
My fashion no-no would be butt showing. Front or back, but especially the front kind.
And thank you PG for defending the garden gnome. This garden gnome dresses “business casual” every day to work and doesn’t own one pair of sweat pants anymore.
Hmm…leggings and sweater/long shirt, makes me think of Mary Tyler Moore, that’s good :>)
i worry about peoples toes when they wear flipflops on a bike (both kinds) loved that show hugo, she was a trend setter our mary
I don’t get the sweatpants-tucked-into-the-wool-socks-stuffed-into-Birkenstock-sandals look.
Truly. It baffles me.
I normally don’t give a fuck what anyone wears, however I make the exception of lycra (and its derivitives). Whether they be on bikers/joggers or overweight people. That material is just soooo wrong.
Back in my day it was stirrup pants, high-heeled sling backs and long, over-sized men’s button-downs and ties… ahhh the ’80s…
uggs in summer ; and there’s going to be alot of freakish looking older woman in 20 yrs (tats) 🙂
Stirrup pants …
:'(
My favorite outfit to wear is the silk flowered pirate shirt mom gave me when i was 12 paired up with an ex’s grey elastic-cuffed sweatpants hoisted up really high to make my legs look really long, and a little pair of red kitten heals. If it’s cold i wear a vintage tweed blazer with shoulder pads and the sleeves pushed up. Whenever i wear this outfit people ask if i am an artist and i say yes.
and btw, camel toes are cute, on the right person.
I think leggings are great paired up with a long bum- covering top; I have 2 different cattle necked tops that i practically live in because it looks like i’ve put in some effort when it in fact feels like i just rolled out of bed and left the house in pj’s. I went off jeans when i was pregnant and only wear them sometimes now. Cords are great- much softer& they don’t bag out if they’re good quality.
You miss the stirrup pants Donk?
Oh hell no br
oooh stirrup pants remind me of spandex that were black but had a line down the sides in some crazy, electric colour.
And, I had a red, silk pirate shirt… so did my two best friends haha
At least the muffin tops are gone. I mean, they’re still there, hiding, but at least they aren’t on display.
i had purple and orange jeans in grade seven. the front and back of each leg were opposite colours and the pockets too. haven’t seen those make a come back-luckily
My mom used to crimp my hair and pile half of it on the top of my head in a big scrunchy – and I had a gorgeous pair of purple cords. I hated them, but when you’re 8 in the 80s, you don’t have much choice…
Okay, okay…. I got all of this beat… How ’bout Coca-Cola sneakers, brown suede (the color of Coke) with four inch rubber brown and white striped wedge heels? Yup, I had those! They also came in flat soles AND you could get blue ones with red laces if you were a Pepsi drinker! WTF? Why did I want those so badly? Wish i could find a picture of them… Oh HEY! — The Internet…
i had enormous bangs and two giant ponytails sticking out from the side of my head. plus cat-eye glasses…that was all they had^^
Painey Longstocking? Sorry – I’ll have SOBova punch me in the shoulder when I get home. I deserve it >: (
From Grade 3 to Grade 8 I had the black Buddy Holly glasses. Neither ironic, nor hip.
Nerrrrrd! 🙂
haha, my brother had those glasses too…not much choice for eyewear in that decade. such nerds we were
Those Buddy Holly glasses are in style now!
Yes, but they’re generally popular with a certain segment of the population who shall not be named :P. Did you get my email, PF?
I haven’t checked that email in a while… I’ll look.
Ah, a take on the wayfarer. Those are on the way out.
awaiting the hammer pant trend comeback.
boy, I rocked the hammers….
there you are you fashionista you^^
Side ponytails and banana clips… slouch socks and high tops!!
happy belated zZz, you’re as old as you’ve ever been, but you’re still a baby to me. hope the long weekend was a good’un.
… what do you mean awaiting the return of the hammer pant … They’e back zZz as the ‘drop crotch pant’

There you go zZz! We’ll get you a pair for your b-day! Happy belated, by the way 🙂
hammer pants were back last summer! H&M had them. Everyone on my floor at Laval was rockin’ the “hams”…except me. I refused to buy a pair. The others were too young to remember them the first time around so they didn’t really grasp the magnitide of their decision to bring said trend back.
H&M…. ug….
that was the store with that god awful bleep radio ad…
no wonder I didn’t see them there.
That and they were in the ladies section….
unless you’re into that kinda thing, Z3 😉
yeah….. that’s just one of the things Russell Williams and I do not share in common….
though if I were forced (literally), I think I could rock that one piece better than he.
I wear an extra-medium.
Russell likes panties and other delicate unmentionables. Pretty sure he wouldn’t be into the hams.
THOUGH, I DO know of a LTWWBer who rocked some ladies panties for halloween one year *shrug*
I have a bad feeling I know who you are talking about PK. And now I have to go scourge my eyeballs with steel wool and bleach.
Men’s platforms, earth shoes and snoot boots….jesus, the 70s proved that crocs weren’t the only fugly fashion footwear in the last century. And this footwear was topped by a pair of bright plaid polyester pants with cuffs.
you mean NGF, don’t you PK? are you too really friends?
Scourge between your ears too, Ivan, that’s where the image shall lie forever! Muahahaha!
They don’t make Q-Tips long enough >: (
Uh is there a masquerade party that happens once a month here?
yep, it’s called masq. happens this weekend i think
Ok I googled it … I was expecting more masks … booo
There’s going to be a masquerade of sorts at Hal-Con…
Damn, all this talk reminds me that I have NO idea what to do for a costume this weekend – I haven’t dressed up since I was a kid, soooo not into it. Sigh. But apparently I need a costume this year.
Dressing your dog up as a Borg is, apparently, a 2-day project.
Brothel Creepers and a Teddy boy suit.
Heathro – “I don’t get the sweatpants-tucked-into-the-wool-socks-stuffed-into-Birkenstock-sandals look. “
It keeps the farts in
ewwwwwwww
http://www.alphastrike.ca/
THEY ARE OPEN THIS WEEKEND!
woot…
yes birdie they are. very funny baz. are you going to wear a costume at hal-con brendon? i have lots o candy at the shop for good little boys and girls…cackle
I wish I was creative enough to go as the chick from Avatar – I seen a pic on facebook and this chick looked amazing with the perfect makeup, hair and outfit!
Back to Smashion – I rocked the spandex with the green neon stripe….the purple, green, pink jeans…..with the matching scrunchy…and topped off with black high top Ewing sneakers. And as ashamed as I am to say I also sported the leather New York jacket as a pre-teen….hard core little middle class kid.
Oh and happy B-day there zZz…had a dream I met you Sunday night….I hope your nothing like that in person!
Thanks RC…
as others can attest to, I am nothing but sheer delight when meeting people for the first time.
quiet, calm, and a listener.
I like to analyze people a bit by their physical quirks and use of speech before I open up a bit.
I’m weird.
weird…not harf. happy day of birth ya big beast you^^^
I will indeed be dressing up for the entirety of hal-con, PG. 🙂 My costume is my avatar.
that makes you easier to spot, klingons are hard to differentiate…nerds/geeks unite
It’s going to be a gloriously great time. 🙂
sunday is the only day i have some time…maybe i’ll lurk outside and take pictures. i think it’s definitely one of the neater events to come to our little duchy
I told one of my kids to get her old Beanie Baby parrot and do the Dead Parrot Sketch complete with counter pounding. She’s fucking thrilled with the idea although the parrot’s shitting beads like a terrified hamster.
man i just realized i have a bunch of beanie babies. i ripped all the tags off when i bought them (they were for the boy). much cuter that way. “he’s pinin for the fjords”
“he’s not pinin’… he’s rolled down the curtain an joined the choir invisible…”
And dang it! I can’t find those Coke/Pepsi shoes! Nertz! (bonus points and a smooch from Monty for anyone who knows where THAT word came from)
Like most people I agree with the no leggings as pants rule. Even the skinniest/fittest women/girls look ridiculous in them. Wear a shirt/sweater that covers the bum (at least a little bit) and it looks fine..
Ugg boots of course.
MOSTLY though it’s what you’re comfortable in.
I like women who wear heels, it looks good.
I know that if I were to wear them I wouldn’t be able to walk properly so I avoid them.
Don’t wear heels if you can’t walk down the street without stumbling or making everyone feel awkward.
Uh… that’s all for now
sorry to interrupt…i feckin love that episode nerd ivan
Temba, His arms open. >; )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npjOSLCR2hE You’re welcome. 🙂
zZz…in my dream you were that dude Tyler Labine … lol. I can’t even describe it… it was so funny. I’m sure your pretty awesome in person. All my dreams have been really messed up lately.
merci brendon
If sweatpants are comfortable then wear them and fuck the snobby fashionistas!
