tight black leggings and big foofy boots

wonder if that waitress works every thursday

just a lonely guy, thinking bout leggings

lol

I like elmo's interpretation. Although for me the ponytail is more like a cartoon whale spouting water out of its blowhole.

Also, I like my ass tights (credit to Dr. Casino for that one---yes, we have talked about this IRL too) partly because they sit up at my waist unlike the horrific low-rise jeans of yore. In my defense, mine are very thick & I usually wear them with shirts long enough to mitigate crotchal awkwardness.

the closest I have to leggings is these weird skinny jeans that are I think what's classified as jeggings but I hate that word so I don't call them that

and the only time I wear them is with a huge oversize sweater that comes down to like mid thigh.

The Magical Breasts of Britney Spears
by: Ryan G. Van Cleave
Publication Date: April 2006
$16.95
ISBN: 1-59709-067-0

By writing so unabashedly about the glitter, the effluvia, the very Britney of contemporary American life, Ryan Van Cleave may have shortened the shelf-life of these poems, but few readers of today will be able to resist his supercharged language and unbound satirical exuberance.
-- Billy Collins, U.S. Poet Laureate 2001-2003

Anger, hunger, and desire power Ryan Van Cleave's excitable new poems, but their rudeboy force is always harnessed by a larger comic vision. Whether he's channeling King Kong, Bubbles the Chimp, or Counter-Terrorist Barbie, Van Cleave alternately throttles and embraces our less-than-perfect world, turning its wild inconsistencies to his own ends. Never cool, never shying away from the facts on the ground, these poems, like Michael Jackson's tortured Bubbles, adamantly refuse to be denied.
-- Rachel Loden, author of Hotel Imperium

Ryan Van Cleave's explosive riffs roll over the American pop culture landscape like a caffeined-up emcee from the dark side. Trying to keep up with his quick wit and dizzying leaps may leave you out of breath, but gasping with surprise and wonder, marveling at how -- beneath the glitz -- Van Cleave has found the sick, twisted soul of this country.
-- Jim Daniels, author of Show and Tell

In The Magical Breasts of Britney Spears, Van Cleave makes unforgettable music. Tuned to the frequency of the moment, this book brilliantly articulates the paradoxes of the postmodern American landscape. Anxieties, elations, grievings -- this book has it all.
-- Virgil Suárez, author of 90 Miles: Selected and New Poems

I own a few pairs of leggings and they're warmer and more comfortable than tights in the winter. However, I only wear them with dresses or a tunic that goes past my ass. xpost

Dang, a Billy Collins blurb!

"By writing so unabashedly about the glitter, the effluvia, the very Britney of contemporary American life..."

can't read anymore, loling

Leggings are good with the dresses that are just to short for me to wear now.

The worst use of sequins I've seen in a while were gold sequin tuxedo stripes on camouflage sweat pants.

anxieties, elations, grievings -- this book has it all

part of me wants to see these poems

the rest of me does not

they adamantly refuse to be denied

The word was selected by the American Dialect Society in January 2006 as the "most creative word" of 2005.

I dont think the Cocteau Twins'd be terrbily pleased.

I have one pair of leggings and I wear them at home but never outside. I'd feel too exposed!

"mine are very thick & I usually wear them with shirts long enough to mitigate crotchal awkwardness"

I think that if you're gonna do this the thickness is key. I see way too many ladies who don't realize that these things stretch out or wear thin and wind up just flashing their asses to the world. I get so embarrassed for them. Then again, maybe that's the look they're going for. idk.

In 2004, Louisiana, USA State Representative Derrick Shepherd proposed a bill (HB1626), also known as the Baggy Pants Bill to Louisiana House of Representatives

I just now noticed that the woman in that Wikipedia "whale tail" entry appears to be observing some kind of Mormon or Amish meeting or somesuch?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Whaletail_cropped.jpg/347px-Whaletail_cropped.jpg

Amish or Mennonite, probably more likely the latter due to them having a cooler

I think the woman in the photo has her thong on wrong.

That black shadow looks like the label which should be at the waistband.

Hahaha, I think you're right. Strap on the right seems thinner, as if it should be the one going south.

Somebody got dressed in the dark.

tbh the only look i like better than this are jeggings and high heels

so what's a whaletail if the thong is backwards

is it whaleface? lol

this look was cute on someone i saw the other day because she was totally knock-kneed

“The truth of the matter is the only way you can actually test for the issue is to put the pants on and bend over,” Day said on today’s conference call. “Just putting the pants on themselves doesn’t solve the problem. It passed all of the basic metric tests and the hand-feel is relatively the same, so it was very difficult for the factories to isolate the issue, and it wasn’t until we got in the store and started putting it on people that we could actually see the issue.”

i like how she tries to suggest that the problem is you can't bend over and see your own butt

sounds like an insane villain reveling in his dastardly plan

lmao goole
