So, if you have heeded my advice and read gofugyourself then you know that I stole this subject line from them. However, I think they would happily lend it to me under the circumstances: yesterday I crossed the street on my way to work and found myself walking behind a young woman who was wearing pantyhose and nothing else on her legs. seriously. I know what you are thinking: that Lizard is very out of it and is not aware of the leggings trend. but, my friends, I am very aware (though very much not in favor) of this trend. These were not leggings. These were pantyhose, clearly identified by the color change for the top portion, a feature which hose do NOT share with leggings. Not only that, everything else she was wearing was so short that you could
see her underwear through the pantyhose. Seriously? Not even a long t-shirt? If you DID decide that they were close enough to leggings, you are still supposed to wear something long on top. Now, I might have said it just rode up, but at one point she pulled down her shirt and it still did very little to cover her ass. And as if all THAT weren't enough, it was 13 degrees out, so even if you HAD decided that pantyhose were a suitable replacement for pants, they were not appropriate for the weather. Finally, you had better have a better figure than Heidi Klum if you are going to try to pull this off, and she, my friends, did not. I almost stopped her because I legitimately thought that she MUST have forgotten an article of clothing at home. But then I reasoned that if she had indeed forgotten her pants, the freezing cold draft should have reminded her as soon as she stepped outside her front door. Mercy. I told someone at work about her, and with luck she had seen her too! She said she thought she was seeing things. Ha. I am afraid not. I can only wonder how much of her day she got through before seeing the error of her ways and heading home to put some f'ing clothes on. And I also wonder how much enjoyment her classmates got out of her little spectacle.
number one in your heartsI was watching CNN last night and saw part of McCain's victory speech and all of a sudden it hit me: he sounds a LOT like Casey Kasem. I pointed this out to Mr. Lizard, who had to agree even though he likes McCain more than I do, and he said maybe he would make a long distance dedication to Mike Huckabee. HAHA. Anyway, Mr. Lizard accused me of being ageist but I think he is too old to be president. Not to mention that I think he is quite full of bad ideas. Unfortunately now when I hear him I will only think of those days long ago laying on my futon listening to the Top 40 on the radio, ready to press record when the number one song came on. Seriously, listen carefully. See if you don't agree.
