Betty Duffy: Pants: a Man-fiesta!

Pants: a Man-fiesta!

I'm going to (charitably) suggest that my husband dress like this.

Can't tell you how much fun I had reading the comments on Simcha Fisher's Pants: a Manifesto.

Young Mom said...: I don't know, I kind of like the one all the way on the left. The guy on the right is wearing a denim shirt and pants. Weird.; September 15, 2010 at 5:49 PM
Darwin said...: Hmmm. But the guy on the left has his shirt unbuttoned as far as his blazer which is a little... special.

Plus the three on the left have jeans that are both slightly short and slightly tapered in the leg. I have to go with the guy on the right for fit of jeans, though I join you in questioning the denim shirt with them. I'd want to see them an inch longer and sitting lower at the hips, but one has to make allowances... :-P

[verification word is "breste"]; September 15, 2010 at 7:28 PM
mrsdarwin said...: I'd say something about this, but I'm laughing too hard at the old guy with the hair and the sunglasses. A man-fiesta, indeed.; September 15, 2010 at 7:31 PM
BettyDuffy said...: Yeah, I'm going to go with the button fly, I believe.

I'm glad, Mrs. D, that you made note of the finer points on the old dude. He's easy to overlook amid all those bare chests.; September 15, 2010 at 9:12 PM
mrsdarwin said...: Also, I will never stop laughing at "man-fiesta".; September 15, 2010 at 10:57 PM
Otepoti said...: Ah ha! NOW I get it.

"Man-fiesta" is a cryptic clue.

It's an anagram of

"Mafia nest".

Which is clearly what those guys are, if they're not auditioning for Francis Ford Coppola.

Where's my prize?; September 16, 2010 at 2:37 AM
BettyDuffy said...: Way to go Otepoti! You win all the money in these guys' pockets!; September 16, 2010 at 7:52 AM
Marie said...: My husband has the holes in his clothes, does that count? And a lot of times he doesn't shave. . . .; September 16, 2010 at 8:39 AM
Otepoti said...: Ooo-er. No thanks, I'd rather not frisk those guys for spare change. I might find their guns.

I'm certain they're not glad to see me.; September 16, 2010 at 2:08 PM
Otepoti said...: Did I go too far with that last? Did I? Did I?

I'm just trying to earn you one of those cool Simcha Fan "This blog brings shame on the Catholic Church" comments, so you can retort, no, Otepoti's Protestant, so THIS blog brings shame on the WHOLE OF CHRISTENDOM.

You'll thank me.; September 16, 2010 at 2:11 PM
mrsdarwin said...: Otepoti, you went too far: I almost woke up my sleeping baby by laughing.; September 16, 2010 at 5:27 PM
eaucoin said...: It's good that the old guy had the sense to wear a buttoned up shirt or we might be seeing cleavage. If I were his girlfriend I would tell him to stay away from the "double-breasted" jackets because they are unfortunately suggestive on him.; September 16, 2010 at 5:27 PM
BettyDuffy said...: Otepoti, One of them does sort of look glad to see...someone.; September 16, 2010 at 10:15 PM
Otepoti said...: I didn't say that, but I thought it.

So we should both go and sit on the Naughty Step.; September 17, 2010 at 1:30 AM
Emily J. said...: For a minute I thought that not only had you posted an unfortunately photo of me on someone else's blog, but that now you had posted a picture of my husband's cousins on your own blog.; September 17, 2010 at 4:58 PM

Blogs I Like

Madonna Del Cardellino

Thinking kills me.

She contemplates the Cloister

She goes to the fancy dress ball as Juliet.

She finds some consolation in her mirror

She finds that exercise does not improve her spirits.

She decides to die in spite of Dr. Bottles

She goes into colors

She is disturbed by a vision which appears to be herself

She longs for seclusion and decides to leave town for a milder climate.

She looks for relief among some of the old ones.

Some think she has remained in retirement too long, Others are surprised she is about so soon.

She is the subject of more hostile criticism

And here, winning new friends and not losing the old ones, we leave her.

"The Widow and her Friends"
