Pyjama ”Pants”
Okay, I dont fucking care what they’re called, I can NOT stand when people leave their house in those god damned PJ pants! They are meant for sleeping, and lounging around in your house, not shopping at Mic Mac Mall, or Sobeys. C’mon people, they dont ev

Agreed. when are people going to start taking pride in their appearance.
Hear hear. Of course the legions will soon start responding and saying how it’s shallow to care how you present yourself to the world, and how we should judge people for what’s inside and not on the outside. I say people who wear PJs in public must be pretty lazy, depressed, self-absorbed, and maybe even a little angry inside. Based on the outside. 🙂
Now, now why pick on us PJ pants fans when you have asshats walking about with pants that have crotches drooping to their knees and shirts that are waaaaaaay too big? How about the dumbos walking about in shorts in a snowstorm? Please! And not to mention those who have spray-on pants and thongs showing? Ugh!
I get a kick out of the knee-crotch pants and huge shirts. If it keeps going, in a few years they will be indistinguishable from traditional Muslim dress.
I think the solution is to make pyjama pants that look like jeans. Problem solved.
If you rock the PJ’s with a nice pair of 2 1/2 year old Uggs that are wore out to the point where you are walking on the innerankle portion of the boots you can get away with it. But to that successfuly you can’t forget that Columbia jacket your mom bought you in Grade 11. Also, don’t even think about stepping out the door properly accessorised with knockoff D&G sunglasses (the B-I-G ones) and a counterfeit Chanel or Louis Vuitton handbag.
Ahh, but the ensemble isn’t complete without the hair pulled up into a high ponytail complete with scrunchie.Gum chewing and snapping, however, is optional.
Hangover-breath also seems appropriate. Maybe the scent of stale sex too.
And if you find that your ‘good’ pair of PJ’s are (somehow) in the wash, feel free to sub those with a pair of grey sweatpants with D-A-L on the ass. The way to make it “your” style is to roll down the waistband past your hip bones.
I actually kinda dig it when chicks roll the waist down. Nothing worse than high-waisted pants on a sweet young thing. Anyhoodle, the next order of business is the sk8r style hoodie with skulls, preferable drawn up over the head and almost covering the over-sized faux-DG glasses.And generally, there will be a need for a “venti” cup from a well-known coffee chain, or at least a large MEC stainless travel mug in one hand and a bedazzled pink KRAZR and set of Toyota keys in the other.
I want to gather some people for an old-timey UGG burning posse. UGGs and any of those goddamn flower-print galoshes I see all the time these days but were actually cute when only a few girls wore them like two years ago but are stupid and unoriginal now and I want to dump a glass of water into them just so I don’t have to see what was once pretty cool made into something thats now very hackneyed. YEEHAW!
I wonder what it is so special about everyone here that they think their opinion of what someone elses wears is so important that someone should change how they dress just for them.
Uh oh.It has begun.
Don’t forget those who pair PJs with Crocs, or anything with Crocs for that matter. Oh yeah, I went there!
While we’re beating dead horses:I’m a fan of neither, but better PJ bottoms than tights worn as pants. At least in PJ bottoms (usually) you can’t see (as my nan used to say) what the person had for breakfast.Optimus Prime Rib and Plastic Diver Guy- Croc *and* UGGs bonfire? Goodtimes to be had by all!PS- did you know they make high heeled Crocs?! They sell them in one of the snootty shoe stores in Park Lane. I saw someone buy some once. Special.
High-heeled Crocs make me say “ugg”. Ugg boots make me say “sweet Jesus on a flatbread”. Tights that look like denim may be worse than pyjama pants in public, but anything with a message written on the ass renders me speechless.And it might be just me, but seeing one person booting it alone in PJ pants is okay. I figure she has pressing shit that needs to be done.
High heeled Crocs? Wouldn’t the heels bend over on their sides?
Well, I searched the interweb for info on the heeled Crocs, TTFN.It’s worse than I thought.http://shop.crocs.com/c-4-footwear.aspx?navcategories=3,123
Plastic Diver Guy- I have a lab with two fumehoods! It’d be the perfect spot, wouldn’t even need the protective masks, you’d just pull the sash all the way down. 🙂
If we’re going to bitch about pajama pants, can we bitch about teeny boppers dressed like ho’s? Who lets them out of the house dressed like a $5 hooker?
I’m all for a crocs and UGGs bonfire. All we need are some protective masks for the fumes and a location and we’re all set to keep warm for the night.
Just yesterday I saw a young woman walking down the street and I swear she only had on a dress shirt *JUST* long enough to cover herself, and then tights, but they were see through like panty hose. I did a double take because she looked like a business woman who lost her skirt somewhere.
How about those thick grey sweatpants- perfect with a shiny, wrinkled, stained ass and filthy shredded bottoms dragging on the sidewalk. I havent seen pj’s outside in awhile, but where I live there’s a tracksuit for every occassion!
How about the fact that all the guys who wear these things (pajama pants, jogging pants, frighten spandex pants) are all showcasing their tiny, TINY penises…and the women who do the same all seem to suffer from cringe-worthy camel toe? No matter how it looked when you left the house, material shifts and clings and rides up…and never looks good on men OR women. Stop and think needledick. Look in the mirror hatchsnatch.
