8 Replies to “Holy Week Is No Excuse For Leggings”
Ladies! Put a skirt on over those, will ya?
So THIS is what you are talking about. Yeah, I totally agree.
And don’t even get me started on skinny jeans, especially since they are also low rise. Women were given waists for a reason. Those things make all women look bad.
I saw a woman in the grocery store today who was wearing legging shorts. To be kind…it was not a pretty sight from behind her. I do not understand why women wear such things. They show every little detail about them…none of the the details are flattering.
I used to wear things like that. Yes, I really did….
I was fourteen years old, and skinny enough to wear a girls size 6x dress over it for a top……….
Drats! I KNEW I felt a draft…;>)
How very mean spirited to take an unflattering picture of two strangers and post it. Especially under the words “Blessing of Holy Week to you.” I hope you are always at your best when you leave your home and are not the victum of someone with a cell phone camera who wants to judge your backside on thier blog. This completely contrdicts your anti-bully post for sure. And shame on the rest of you for encouraging this mean-girl, petty act. [I certainly see your point, and I wish I could have found professional models online who as perfectly illustrated the crime of leggings without pants. What, exactly, do you mean by taking an “unflattering photo of two strangers?” That isn’t an unflattering photo, it’s a straight-on representation from real life. What’s “unflattering” is that both these women are walking around in public with their tushies displayed for all to see, or to photograph. Unfortunately, we now live in a world where we can be made examples of in the positive or negative sense with the click of a button. I am sorry that you have felt entitled to conflate the posting of an anonymous photo of someone’s backside (with the neutral words, “Don’t forget your pants” – -hardly insulting!) with the phenomenon of actual bullying, in which someone is targeted for insult on a repeated basis. Call me a mean girl if you must, but I find your comment to be intellectually lazy, inaccurate and reactionary. – PB]
PB, lately is seems that just about every post you make has someone taking you to task about something. You must heave many sighs of frustration. Thank you for continuing to blog despite the finger-shakers. [Thank you, Gina. I do it all for you — and the thousands of other readers who see the value in what I write. For every hissy fit I am subject to, I get probably 100 letters of appreciation and support, so it more than evens out. Still, it’s good for you to post that comment right here in response to the finger-wagger. My response is always, “Hey, cancel your subscription if you don’t like our content.” KNOW WHAT I MEAN? 😉 – PB]
