yikes

Not that this is a new phenomenon, but after today's failed lunchtime shopping excursion to Barnes & Noble, I can't take it anymore and I have a plea to the college and high school (and probably 20-something) women of America:

TIGHTS ARE NOT THE SAME AS PANTS.  PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PUT SOME PANTS ON.  OR AT LEAST A SKIRT.

Thank you.

hahahahaHA tights are not pants...I must admit that I've done it before, but they weren't tights per se, but more leggings than anything else; totally solidly colored, couldn't see any leg or pupick or anything.

What really kills me about the whole tights-as-pants thing is when they hike them up so high that you can, like, see the outline of the crotch and it's like, WHY DON'T YOU CARE THAT I CAN SEE THE SHAPE OF YOUR VAG RIGHT HERE, IN PUBLIC, AND SO CAN THAT CREEPY DUDE OVER THERE WHO'S STARING AT IT?!?!?!

If/when I wear leggings, I make sure to a) position them just so to insure my crotch a certain amount of ambiguity, and b) wear a long enough top that at least one-half to two-thirds of my ass is covered by overlap. Rules every tight-wearing woman should follow, but seldom do. Sad.
