Man leggings?

Are you fucking kidding me? Should I be gracious and feel excited that the menz will be sharing my devotional and unwaning love for soon-to-be-passé-but-I-won't-give-a-damn-because-they're-God's-most-perfect-chub-rub-cure leggings?

In other fashion news, I've been really down about the fact that I have a giant bin full of pretty, and neglected high heels that I haven't even looked at, much less worn, since I've lived in New York. I can't walk in them outside, (see: The Great And Terrible High Heel At Work Experiment Of 2004) it's a pain in the ass to cram a spare pair of shoes into my already overstuffed purse, and I just don't have the heart to say goodbye to them either, because that would be admitting defeat.

Also, I hate all my clothes right now and if I could, I'd throw them all away and trade for a few new and exciting pieces, but maybe that is just the PMS talking.

I definitely just posted this to the local men's roller derby e-mail list, because those guys? Totally already wear man-leggings. They are sporty Under Armour man leggings, designed for jockish purposes, but they are man leggings nonetheless!

I've generally only seen black, but it's not that far off from the first look pictured.

I'm having a hard time imagining them in a non-sporty context.

But in roller derby context, those are awesome!

Just say no to man leggings. Didn't we already go through this with biking/running pants?

Well, certain men didn't listen to fashion advisories like:

* no socks with sandals
* no ironic mustaches/facial hair
* no shorts so short that we see the twig and berry twins

I fear that these same ill-advised men will fall into the legging pit, too!

Well at least that would take care of problem #3?

I'm now picturing Lemmy from Motorhead wearing bright blue leggings, green gym shorts, white tube socks, and Tevas.

I'm not sure that seeing the outline of the junk is that much better than seeing the actual junk!

Still, that is a hilarious thing to imagine.

Leggings rule, I don't care what anyone says.

And oh honey, that sucks about the heels. Have you tried stacked wedges?

Stacked wedges don't work for the same reason that heels are hard for me - the incline *really* hurts the ball of my foot. I've even tried those pads for just the ball of feet, but they don't do much for me. Boo!

I don't know if I ever wrote about this, but I got to see Kelly live! She did the shoes song and it was OMGFANTASTIC!

OMG! YES! I saw her at Folsom last year and she was totally fabulous! Actually, she and her alter ego perform down the street from me all the time and I am always too busy with other stuff to go. I should make it a point to take time out for Kelly.

That would be SO AWESOME if we could do a Wardrobe Freaky Friday!

*ponders*

I definitely browse the cheapie shops, but nothing is catching my eye there. And thrifting in NYC is nearly impossible because the prices are so jacked! I'm visiting my parents in August, though, and I plan to go to some of the awesome thrift places there!
