Oh- a testament to how bored I am...

I spent my entire bus ride contemplating boys in the very low (under the butt) pants, how they keep them up, and what is going on in the front. Like, do the pants ride over or under the penis? What happens if they (as many are hormonal teenagers) get an unfortunate erection? If I were costuming someone in these pants how would I ensure they actually stay up, since they seem to be held in place mostly by posture and a hand on the belt buckle? These are the burning questions in my life!

Thank you! Now I want to feed the turtles-- but I cannot snorkle!

Yeah, I don't know. I had a crisis of tights the other night walking home, and they were starting to slip past my ass, and there was no way they wouldn't have kept going to my knees after that. I decided it was better to just hike them up on the street.

Sophia, I ask myself those same questions! (Well, not the costuming one, but...) I also often wonder what would happen if they actually had to run, and how funny it would be if I just depantsed them and ran away.

I once had a crisis of the tights and a crisis of my period all at the same time at the theatre, and when running to the bathroom was stopped by a girl hysterically in tears about the most minor part of her costume (she was wearing a longline strapless bra which she wasn't used to, and felt exposed. I ended up having to talk to her/try to comfort her while both my underpants and tights were slowly creeping down my thighs (the elastic in both had simultaneously given up the ghost). By the end of the conversation I was actually holding up both bloody garments by pressing my knees together, and I so wanted to get cranky with her and run to the bathroom!

For some reason, the pants style reminds me of the Cavalier Period, which I hate. [link]

I think it is because everything seems so droopy, and yet so fancy.

I just imagined urban kids wearing a get-up like that and got a mighty laugh...

(Timberland could make a version of those boots! I don't know if it would be awesome or frightening, though...)

You totally should have! OMG.

When my pants got to the falling off stage, I perfected walking down the hall with my elbows pressed to my hipbones to keep from walking out of them.

There's a slowly frying bug in one of the lamps that is making me and the cats jumpy. Well, when they were awake.

MK and Loki are passed out behind my knees. Loki's got his head jammed into MK's butt. Whoops, woke the kitten up when I reached for the camera. No more passed out kitten.
