costumes of the day

3. A woman in stirrup pants, a red t-shirt, and red slouchy socks pulled over the pants. I suspect, unfortunately, that hers was not meant to be a Hallowe'en get-up. Agh! The horror of the dual inverted isosceles triangle pants - and when I'm feeling so crappy, too

The only thing worse than matching your slouchy red socks with your red t-shirt is wearing stirrup pants in between them. Stirrup pants?!? Do they even still make those? I guess with skinny jeans in the forefront, stirrup pants can't be far behind.

Ha! You said "behind"--on the subject of jeans--behind, get it?

Clearly I have no life.

Oh my, next year we'll be contemplating the stirrup. Do you remember how they were never quite the right length, so that when you tried to actually wear the stirrups on your feet, as they appeared to be intended, walking kinda pulled your pants down? The only viable option was to yank them up above the slouch socks.

No. Stirrup. Pants. The Butt Stops Here (like that one, PP?)

An excellent point. Walking totally kinda pulled my pants down in those things. Of course, being the style maven I was in those days, I just added a belt to the top of the pants. Usually the wide plastic belt that came with my pleasingly pleated jeans.

Despite these fuzzy, nostalgic trips down fashion memory lane, I, too, protest the return - or re-emergence - of these horrible butt-baring pants.

And speaking of baring: one of my students recently wrote that a woman's job is to bare children.
