You can’t touch this

by Tracy

Note, it’s Spring break for 2 of my 3 school age kids so posting is likely to be sporadic and of dubious quality. I’m still trying to find out if it’s legal or not in this state to let them help out with the chicken and pork brains in cans post.

I got this ten minutes ago in my inbox.

Oh, Anthropologie, you know I don’t know how to quit you but what the heck am I supposed to do with this?

Because they don’t so much remind me of this moment as of many moments in the early 1990s when I was young and we knew them as Hammer Pants and often joked how they looked like they were full of dookie.

And how do you iron this?

And why the heck would I put big gaping pockets at the widest part of my body? Are they for stuffing with rocks when I want to do my Virginia Woolf impersonation at the company picnic? That’s always a hit!

I think maybe this year I won’t ask for my usual Anthropologie gift card for my birthday. Which is May 30. In case you were wondering.

What fashions are you liking this year?

    Hahaha these are ridiculous.

    My kids are on break for the first half of this week due to parent-teacher conferences. I decided to post just once this week. It’s always a dilemma, isn’t it?

    Hi Tracy – Well, at least now I know where you are.

    That Virginia Woolf comment was pretty awesome.

    Guys in South Jersey still wear Hammer pants so now the women can match. They just need to make the harem pants multi-colored.

    I watched the video and have to say it’s very entertaining – I forgot that about Hammer. I can’t believe how many people are on stage – he was paying a lot of people …

    That is hilarious Tracy. I saw those Hammer trousers and thought ‘what the?’ There is only a certain typ of woman who can wear those (tall and very thin) and if your average Joe is going to start wearing them around town I may have to stay in all summer!
