When did sweat pants become a fashion statement? News flash! It never did. There seems to be a misconception about Halifax fashion. Halifax does have the free spirit inspired fashion style but sweat pants is and never will be included in that style. Sweat pants wearing people look bummish and sloppy that won’t be taken seriously. The just got out of bed look is outdated and something you did in high school. Please wear your sweat pants in the comfort of your home and not out in public. Even walking around with a school name written on your ass is no exception. —A conscious Haligonian

Maybe you should consider that not everyone is fashion conscious. Sometimes, people are sheerly comfort conscious.
Similar bitch about two weeks ago. I’ll wear what I want, if you don’t like it, either stay home or look away : )
I AGREE 1000% OP! Sweat pants are the devil! As are people that use crosswalks, those that say please and thank you, people that put down the toilet seat and flush when they are done making pee pee, pet owners that pick up their dogs’ crap and dispose of it properly and pretty much ANYONE who has ever performed an act of kindness “just because”……..
I’ll say it again…. THE DEVIL!
You realize, jonno, OP’s probably gonna take you seriously, right?
You know what was huge when I was at acadia? Hospital pants.
Those things were fucking COMFY.
Who gives a flying fuck about “fashion style”? Certainly not I.
I mean, granny-panties and boxers may be unsightly, but I’m not going to wear a string in my crack just to get your nod of approval.
Sweat pants make the person wearing them look like they shit themselves. If you can’t at least look presentable, stay home on your sofa and get fat.
Jonno are you ok today??
I have to say that it all depends on the person…I myself would never wear jogging pants out of the house unless I’m literally running to the convenience store 1 min down the road. I would back in the day but now I just feel like I should always be presentable in public. Which is funny because my BF will go anywhere in jogging pants. But that’s another bitch… 🙂
Also Halifax is a few years behind fashion….like those Canada Goose coats everywhere…they were everywhere in Toronto 2 years ago. But I still like them….just sayin
I love easy offs, makes life so much easier than unbuttoning jeans.
Glad to see we even recycle bitches here. Saving the world, people!
It’s funny because the whole “bench” thing is big in halifax, yet, people I know in Toronto asked me what the hell “bench” was when I brought it up a bit ago.
heh.
But remember people, we JUST got an H&M and MAC’s only been around here for a couple years!
…and we *still* don’t have a Sephora….which IS truly a whole other bitch in itself.
Haha….. RC, it’s called sarcasm… 🙂
Personally, I say whatever makes you comfortable- have at’er!
you like them like a hole in your purse….
at least they don’t have BENCH written on the back of the stupid popped collar.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
PS op, if you’re so urked by what others look like, you’re in for a rough life….
and dear GOD stay away from Fairview.
I LOVE Sarcasm!! that’s awesome Jonno
I MISS MY SEXY BLUE BOOTS WITH THE FAKE BLUE FUR AROUND THEM.
SORRY ‘BOUT THE CAPS GUYS…SPILLED ORANGE JUICE ON MY KEYBOARD AND THE SHIFT KEY KEEPS STICKING.
ITSS IS GOIN’ BE MAD AT ME!

Ivan, you can be in the orgy of awesome too.
Aww… poor kitty, Ivan
As far as the OB, I agree with tee on this one. You don’t fucking like it… don’t fucking look bitch!

I don’t understand why it bothers people so much what other people wear.
If you feel enough rage at seeing someone in sweat pants walking down the street, to get on a computer and bitch about it, you must be a really angry person. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather chill with someone wearing sweat pants over an egotistical person with serious anger issues.
Not surprised to see the responses you’re getting OP…I guess I’ll be the only one to agree with you. There is a difference between “comfort” and not having any pride in your personal appearance. Many, many people cross that line, sadly. No one looks good and/or smart in baggy sweat pants or pajamas.
i hear we’re getting a sephora in about two months.
WHAT? REALLY? WHERE? HOOOOLY.
My lovah’s coming to town, guys!!!
ok, not two months, but close, August 11th, at the Halifax Shopping Center
OH. EM. GEE.
You have just made my entire year!
You can be in the orgy of awesome too!
🙂
Even walking around with a school name written on your ass is no exception. … yeah I don’t get the writing on the bottom either. It is what it is OP. That’s why I wear hater blockers everywhere, to hide my disgust, lol
o.p., this has already been done before, and just a waste of our time to rehash this inane bullshit.
le gasp* there’s someone in sweatpants right next to me.
I have a pair of lulus in my bag sitting next to me….do you know how HARD it is to resist putting them on?
Brand new pair too….
Sometimes, I wish I could just go to work pantsless. *sigh*
Anyway, who gives a shit what others wear? I look at it this way: people who wear jammie pants in public just make everyone else NOT wearing them look good. Gotta have SOMEONE slumming it to make the rest of us look top notch *shrug*
Screw LuLu. I’m so over that shit.
If you were truly conscious op you’d accept other people’s personal taste. arguing opinions seems kind of pointless and if you’re not inclined to let others have theirs you should at least keep it to yourself, but of course I’m not hypocrite so I’ll let you have your poor opinion of others opinions, but that’s just my opinion.
You know what is even better than sweatpants? Sweatpants that you can wear to work and no one knows! Hehe! I have a pair of dress pants that are just as comfy and stretchy as my lulus. Sounds awful, I know, but they truly are and look like dress pants. Even bought them in an “office wear” store that don’t sell sweats haha.
Judge me, I don’t care, because I can at the office in über comfy pants and no one has a clue : )
frenchie…
something tells me you haven’t google image searched ‘hot sweat pants’ have you?
if no-one looked good in them, no-one would buy them.
You don’t go out shopping saying, “holy shit those look horrible…. let me try them on”
sweeping comments make you look like an idiot
You sound kind of….cranky and disgruntled, these days, Donk.
Tee: reitman’s ‘comfort fit’ pants? I’ll admit, those are pretty darn comfy.
The thing I really like about my lulus (and srsly it’s not a name brand thing for me — they’re just really fucking comfy and stand up really well) is that they never ride up my butt. Ever. They just stay put no matter what I’m doing. I never have to pull them up or adjust them, and it honestly feels like I’m wearing nothing. And they push my ass up like a push up bra and damn it all to hell if I’m not going to take delight in having a pair of pants make my ass look hot. And this is the last time I’m defending my love of lulu.
Hahah, actually no, I got these like 3 years ago before Reitman’s started their comfort fit, mine are from Ricky’s, they have a zipper and a gazillion bottons but are so stretchy that you don’t even need to undo them, you just pull them up like sweats haha.
And the lulus are good for not riding up but I can’t get away with wearing them to work : (
Ooooh I have a few pants/skirts from there…the skirt is a tulip cut denim skirt and it doesn’t need to be undone either to get on/off.
Confuses the boys though *blush*
Heheh! Doesn’t take much when it comes to women’s clothing to be fair 😛
They all seem to handle taking a bra off just fine! 😛
…No comment. 😛
Spend all you want ladies, women’s fashions are at their best when tossed casually over the back of a chair. >; )
In the absence of our Paingirl I will compliment you on your kitteh Tee.
“Nice Kitteh”
Hahah! That they manage, it’s getting to the bra that sometimes proves to be a challenge : P
Thanks Ivan : )
Painey usually takes point on pet avatars but I’m pretty sure she would pronounce him/her “Sa-weet” >: )
Sometimes it’s fun to leave said bra where it is. It’s fun working around/over/in it etc. Dirty, dirty, *dirty*! Mm, mm, mmmmmmmm!
Giving away all my secrets here…
I always keep one handy in case they have a triple clasp….
http://kotv.images.worldnow.com/images/103…
Have to agree with you Wheeliep. Working “around” is pretty fun too! And zzz, just wow..
Man, I can’t believe how much sex talk there is on LTWWB these days… youse guys is gonna make it NSFW 🙂
I have a pair of jeans that are a little big and the zipper kept coming down, so I just sewed it up, and they still slide off… well, the first time the bf rain into those he was so baffled, the look on his face was priceless, like, “WTF, let me in!” I’ll never forget it and still tease him over it! ha ha.
And it’s true what you say Ivan, I’m done spending $ on lingerie, it’s on for 30 secs then the chair is modeling it. Forget it if nudity is what you want, nudity is what you’ll get!
*Yeesh*…. I am definitely not getting involved in this discussion. This must be the aforementioned circle jerk referenced by the Annoyances OP.
what?
I tried a welding torch but … well let’s just say immolation, even in small amounts, can get a little stinky. Ruins the mood when you have to stop to put her out too….
“*Yeesh*…. I am definitely not getting involved in this discussion. This must be the aforementioned circle jerk referenced by the Annoyances OP.”
WIMP!
heehee
Sweat pants are comfortable.
=====Sweat pants are comfortable.=====
A POX ON YOUR HOUSE, GOOD SIR OR MADAM!
SWEATPANTS ARE AN ABOMNA-, AN ADOMIMA-, THEY SUCK!
Like, totally and literally.
OmJesus I am loving that pussy tee. Pretty kitteh.
Thanks Donk, he sure is darn photogenic eh?
He is he is.
I feel like this should be shared

I love the richard sharpe novels, i’m selling a few right now if anyones interested.
Sean bean made a great bond villian, love that movie.
Sweat pants can be comfortable. That’s cool. But I had a guy come into my office to hand me a resume today dressed in fucking sweatpants. Are you kidding me? I don’t care how good your resume is, if you don’t know how to look professional, work at MacDonald’s.
Fuck you OP. I wear what is comfortable, and yes I wear sweatpants in public because going to the grocery store is not, I repeat *not* the same as meeting the queen of England you arrogant twat.
Gee Triple-Zed, I was way out of line – thanks for calling me back to order. Next time I feel like expressing an opinion on a purely subjective matter such as art, music, or fashion, I’ll disregard any personal belief, preference or first-hand experience I may have and consult Google to see what I should really think on the subject. And it’s true that the correct answer always lies in numbers: so many people are doing it, it can’t be wrong, right? (therefore I’m not allowed to think it looks bad). Not to mention that pictures of hot asses in skin-tight gym pants that your suggested Google search would most likely return is totally relevant to a comment about baggy sweat pants and pajamas.
excellent. thanks.
Glad you’re catching on.
Can’t we all just be friends? 🙁
Hope all my fellow bitchers/lovers are staying warm today 🙂 It’s brrr-cold out there!
Is the orgy of awesome going to be at the same time as the circle-jerk of sarcasm?
No. Circle jerk on Friday, Orgy on Saturday…nice way to cap off a weekend.
Smart Kitty – two different mind-sets. Might get confusing.
Anglo – are your Sharpe’s paperback or hardcover? Good condition? Give JWD a call. If he’s in a buying frame of mind you could make a couple of bucks. But phone ahead first. Alec Trevelyn was cool, but Sean Miller was truly bad-ass.
i am sitting in a chair…it’s very exciting^^
PAINEY! RAWK!, SCREEE!, SNORT!, HEE-HAW! GRRRRRR!, CACKLE! & ROOOOOOOOO!.
*sniff* Missed ya buddy.
You’re alive, PG!
NGF: that’s cause you live in Assfuck, NS.
Wait…was that a homophobic remark?
…waits for sebastard to bitch about comment and have it removed in 5…4…..3…..2…..
ALSO: PG! <3s! How ya feelin', lady?
hurty but less hurty than before…trying not to wallow in a puddle of feeling sorry for myself^^
At least people aren’t talking about jammie bottoms.
My sharpe novels are paperback with the fancy art covers of battles.
Oh heavens Miss Pain…I’ve been so worried! back injuries are so terrible! I hope you enjoy sitting upright today for a bit! I’m sending lots of good thoughts your way!
I’ve been there, Painey! I almost snapped my tailbone a couple years back (pushed it all the way in instead — just on the verge of snapping) and it still hurts sometimes to sit. Yesterday when I got off the bus to walk over to the gym my tailbone was radiating pain and it usually never hurts when I’m standing and not putting pressure on it 🙁
So I know how ya feel 🙁 I hope you get better REALLY soon! Take advantage of physio if you can!!! Works wonders!
*hugs*
Also, RC: I think I know who you are…I creeped a certain someone’s friends list on FB and kind of narrowed down the search (because I’m creepy like that! haha — no no curiousity got the better of me since YOU know what I look like! hee) 😛 So, if you are who I think you are, you’re gorgeous, hon! 🙂
Why is no one creeping Zoidberg? *cries and hides in the corner*
Anglo – unless you already have a buyer, or are selling them in the interwebz, definitely try JWD. He’ll give a fair percentage of the original Canadian cover price and they always need Sharpes.
Alright, 195 — I’ve created a PK email acct: I get the impression you’re feeling a bit left out here 😛
So email me (this goes out to anyone else on here who wants to chat with ms PK/add PK to FB) at prettykittylady@gmail.com and we’ll see what we can do 🙂
Hurray! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_WI0VI7aIw
What if your just out walking or jogging or something? You don’t always have to be dressed to impress just because your going outside. This bitch is stupid. I bet it takes you 45 minutes to get ready for a trip to the local corner store. Its winter and cold , jogging pants are warm and comfortable get over it.
PK…I think you were creeping the wrong gal…but if not then Thanks!!!
Also I think after that post you may no longer be able to continue to bug Jonno for his creepiness…. 🙂 JK
I meant to add you last night. Mine is my real profile with pictures of my little guy so don’t give out my info just in case. Not that I don’t trust people but when kids are involved you always have to have your radar up. You look adorably safe so I’m pretty sure I’m good…and it took a few months before Z and I became FB friends. (His pics make him look kinda scary – sorry Z).
No worries: I treat everyone the way I’d like to be treated and I keep all my LTWWBer buddies’ info top secret 🙂 …it’s my OWN secrets I’m not so grand at keeping. hahaha
And it’s not my fault about the creepiness! It’s jonno’s bad influence! MAN that guy’s a creep! heehee
Plus, if anything, zed’s bark is worse than his bite! 😛
I sended you an email, PK.
Hee got it!
Added to FB 🙂
Huzzah! I must say you are quite the looker. 😉
why whatever do you mean?
http://www.funnyzone.org/wp-content/upload…
Aww thanks, 195 🙂
And frig you, zed.
…I can’t believe I said you were dreamy! You’re just a mean mean man! *sob*
“almost snapped my tailbone”
Worst pain pf my life!
Speaking of pain. Paingirl pgpgpgpgpgp pg. Yayayay yayay yayay
Life’s mean kitty… I’m just preparing you.
have a brawndo and chillax

oh, and I’ll be enjoying scott skins tomorrow too….
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
maybe if you’re nice, I’ll bring you back some.
Scott skins suck.
Potato skins from Paddy’s? Yeah THOSE would be AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA worthy, but scott skins? No thanks.
They’re all bitter and gross and half cooked and burnt around the edges, generally.
Fuck that restaurant sucks.
Also: I’m going to ‘vegas on Saturday so I could theoritically get my own scott skins. I don’t need you or your attempts to bribe niceness out of me! I’ve been plenty nice and all I get is meanness and ignore-ness. 🙁
I miss Joe’s and Paddy’s and even the Kings Arm.
You know. I think a Paddy’s lunch is DEFINITELY in order for Saturday with my maternal parental unit. Mmm bangers and mash! Not like I get back to ‘vegas….well, ever, these days. And maybe a New Minas trip….haven’t been there in — get this: 6 years. SIX YEARS. Frig.
Paddy’s/Rosie’s has rather excellent brunch.
I need to figure out what the curry-mustard sauce paddy’s uses has in it….
It’s delicious with the cheese cubes
Mayo, curry, sugar, honey mustard.
There. The mystery is solved.
I can’t say I’ve ever heard of scotts skins?
It’s no big loss, FA.
They’re overrated.
Basically potato skins with cheese and bacon and sour cream. They’re bitter as hell, burnt around the edges, generally and undercooked in the centre.
Don’t let zed tell you otherwise, either! Go for Paddy’s potato skins if you’re in the wolfville area! MUCH better (and very yummy!!!).
mmm, I sometimes will make stuffed potatos. So good.
That just made me want to make some.
Isn’t that kind of the point of style and free will? So that everyone has their own style and not everybody dresses the same? Things might get a little boring.
Did I miss the Orgy and the CJ? Bet I did! Waaaaah!
Hey PG, how are the drugs? Feel better Chiquita!
No Orgy. No Circle Jerk. Just a long day in the book trenches. The high point was leaving the store @ 9:00 to see some dumb cooze in a cream-colored hatchback going the wrong way down Prince St, while texting. FML.
Oh, by the way. Which one of my Bitchin’-Babes ambushed the lad I work with in the middle of the week by asking him “Are You Ivan”? He thought it was a hoot >: )
Speaking of “Are You Ivan”? , I noticed last Saturday when I visited, that a couple of people were paying you considerable attention 🙂
Oh Man – I was totally oblivious >: ( Stupid maturity and wisdom of age
http://www.popartuk.com/g/l/lgmp0163+homer…
keeping ahead of the pain nerdman…it’s my only goal these days^^mornin gentlemans
No shot yet pg? 🙁
I realized the pain was bad when you were looking forward to a block.
I have no idea if this is viable or just snake oil.
