I figured out that I have procrastinated way too long, even by my standards, in preparing for an important work event that rhymes with "plaudit". So, I did what anyone in my situation would do under these circumstances and went to get something to eat.
On the way there, I had two separate encounters with guys (separate encounters) in manpris. No, not just long shorts or highwater pants (though quite possible since I do work at an institution of higher learning), but, real live manpris. I haven't seen too many manpris out in the wild, so, I'm sure I was staring.
Sadly, though, I think my gawking may have fueled their respective fires and they walked away standing just a little taller.
What do people who wear these things think before they leave the house in the morning?
"Heeeyyyy, I'm lookin' good today. The chicks will think I'm all hot and European and stuff." (perhaps you may be from a part of Europe devoid of fashion sense?)
or
"Yo. People will think I'm a famous hip hop rapper. I'm cool wit' dat." (Logic alert: where I work is not really known for producing hip hop artists)
or
"I really admire the fashion stylings of Kevin Federline. I shall emulate the way he dresses immediately." (no explanation needed)
I pondered this, got my food and am still not ready for the thing that rhymes with "plaudit".
So, there you go. Back to my "plaudit reparation".

Whether it is manpris or Gauchos (who the hell thought it was a good idea to bring THOSE back?) or the newest bizzro-world thing I have encountered lately... Jeans that have a faux waistline and then a real elastic waist so that it appears that your underwear is hanging out... but it is really just the top of the jeans.
I don't know what scares me more... that somebody actually wears these things... or that they are the "leaders of tomorrow" {{shudder}}
Didn't y'all JUST have a plaudit? Geez, how many can one handle in a lifetime, much less a year!?!?!
Did the guys wearing the manpris carry a man-purse to go along with the look?
Manpris! That cracked me up. I think I've only seen that once in person. And I, like you, stopped in my tracks and thought 'WTF'?!
I'm a virgin...well at least my eyes are. I have yet to see manpris in action.
I am a happy girl.
Toddlers look adorable in manpris.
But anyone older than 5 should ix nay them.
MANPRIS? Other than the aforementioned hip-hop style of really long baggy shorts, I don't believe I've ever witnessed manpris. I must google image this term. After I get done with work since I realize there is the chance that I'll need to scrub my brain after seeing such a thing.
But were there Man Necklaces with the Manpris? Or Man Clogs? I must know.
What do they wear on their feet with manpris?
Manpris, eh? I must be living in a cave. I thought we were still wearing leg warmers and headbands! Where's Olivia Newton-John when you need her???
Were they "sagging" too? Ha! LOL. :-)
A lot of women are wearing those Capri things now and I think they are hideous. Not tidebound by dictates of fashion, but please, bring back the sharp, short skirts.
As for gay guys - who the hell cares? They'll probably get their own "Survivor."
I wear 'em, I like 'em. They are like high-water pants without being, well, high-wather pants. I wear Crocs as footwear with them, mostly. I'm beyond caring what anyone thinks of my fashion sense. Another (is their another?) advantage of being an aging Boomer.
LOL. I have to forward this on to my Husband's best friend who can't even stand women in capris. LOL.
