Poshdeluxe

today, i have a really important question for you guys.

and i have the feeling that it’s going to generate a LOT of discussion. like, more than that entry about that twee article or whatever.

so i was browsing through jezebel when i came across this photo:

ok, nevermind who those people are (if you care, it’s a dude from the strokes and a model that, as mugatu would say, “is so hot right now”), cos my question has nothing to do with hipsters.

the first thing that came to mind when i saw this photo, the ABSOLUTE FIRST THING, was:

GARRRRWHITEPANTSWTFAAAAAUUGHH

basically, this picture led me to the stunning realization that, out of all the pants in the world, the one type, ABOVE ALL OTHERS, that i would never wear are white pants.

now, i might get some hate mail for saying that, but john told me that i should write more controversial things so HERE YOU GO, HATERS. comment bombs away!

seriously, though. i really hate white pants. here is why:

1) if you spill something on white pants, everyone will be able to see it (this is why my camo pants are my favorite, shh). and i’d rather spend my time fully enjoying my pizza/spaghetti/wine/chocolate pie than worrying about my stupid white pants.

2) white pants totally attract dirt, and so if you’re a germphobe like me, you will FREAK OUT when you realize all of the nastiness yr ankles and bum have been exposed to. I WOULD RATHER LIVE IN IGNORANCE VIA DARK DENIM THANK YOU.

3) since white is so, well, white, it makes everything stand out– so, if you don’t, say, like yr legs yr thighs or yr butt, the white pants will MOCK YOU WITH THEIR WHITE PANTNESS.

4) white pants take over every ensemble. it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing yr favorite shirt or hat, NO ONE WILL CARE cos white pants are an attention hog.

5) you guys, white pants are fugly.

i rest my case.

my second least favorite pants are animal print, unless i’m in vegas. then, i am all over that leopard action, unless gold lamé is an option.

and now i turn this hard hitting question to you: what are YR least favorite pants? THINK HARD. and PLEASE PROVIDE EVIDENCE to back up yr claim.

p.s. i honestly cannot believe i’ve never written a post about this before.

p.p.s. i’m doing a book club entry in the next few days, so get yr reviews ready!

LINKS

i have a new favorite internet child… she’s no pearl, granted, and she probably wouldn’t kick a monster’s ass, but she’s still amazing, nonetheless. prepared to be amazed by this three year old summarizing “star wars” (special thanks to meredith for the link!):

so apparently the new ghostbusters video game has voices from the entire cast.. except rick moranis. he apparently made enough money off of “honey i shrunk the kids” to retire. and no, i am not kididng.

ok, so i went to a few debate tournaments back in the day, but i have NEVER seen ANYTHING like this. apparently, it’s the new style of debating. personally, i think i would get the hiccups after about 30 seconds.

especially in these days of drought, it’s nice to see some green grass… esp. artsy grass!!

squee of the day: ducklings in a bathtub!
