Except those are cigarette pants, not clamdiggers. But you're right, you have to be really thin.

What really bugs me is the conflation of capris, clam-diggers and pedal-pushers. Those used to all mean different things.

Can you get a blumpkin in the forest? Yes. Yes you can. And if that holds, you can get one on Hank's desk.

every friday when I take "I quit your fucking job" meetings there are opportunities.

Together in short succession it sounds like a stream of outdated lingo describing a lesbian swingers party.

last timei was in tokyo I ran in yoyogi every morning. the "western style" had a homeless guy living in it, so I was forced to use the traditional- I actually prefer it.

She could wear a burlap sack on each leg, and I would still hump the bejeezus out of her.

I wear capri pants quite a lot. I like them for the temps here (60-70) when shorts wouldn't be quite warm enough and pants are too warm (or I'm riding my bike). I think you have to have reasonably long legs to carry them off (otherwise they make your legs look even shorter than they are), but I don't think they are unflattering. Clamdiggers are the ones that hit right below the knees, right? Those are definitely hard to pull off, even for the long-legged.

I ask each of you to consider your own post counts, and to ask yourself: "Am I giving Penske enough things to respond to? Could I be doing more to fill the gaping maw of his need to reply to things?"

Thank you.

woman's fashion is simple- it's mostly about balance, like if you expose the calf with the clam diggers, then you simply have to pick a less blousey top and voila! the look comes together.

Who - the woman on the couch in the background? From the blurry video I think she's making my point.

I'm not sure of the difference between clam diggers and pedal pushers, but this is approximately the length I'm talking about:

I think I contribute plenty to the effort, but, what I find amzing, is that Penske_Account has only just passed Penske Account. How can this be?

I also don't think this is the full report of assets. Dig deeper.

I think it's obvious that Flower can pull those off. No one else, but they're fine for Flower.

Well, burlap is probably about the right description of the texture of what you'd be humping at this point.
