And there are way more stores in general for women’s clothing; but from what I understand, a lot of women’s clothing is not made well enough to last more than one and a half to two seasons because what lady in their right mind would wear clothing from more than two seasons ago? [i.e., fashion cycle seasons, right?] Whereas men’s clothing, slightly more expensive and less available due to the ratio of floor space in retail, is generally expected to last several seasons. For instance, I could buy a suit today, have it tailored to fit me, and pretty much expect that I could have it re-cut to fit my corpse and get buried in it, and not outrage that many with my sartorial shroud.

What I want to know is, did The Rapper buy any yoga pants from La Senza? And if so, what do they look like? These are the real questions that need to be answered, people.

Thank you, Andrea. I was waiting for someone to question that. Yes. He bought yoga pants. A couple dozen pairs. Sadly, they weren’t for him. They were black. They were for a marketing event.

But it’s fun to imagine that they were for him, and try to figure out what for.

I dunno Andrew, I kind of shop like a dude, but without the suits. So basically, I shop like a dude who is also a slob. And then I wear my clothes until they’re practically see through, even in places where they were never meant to be see-through. And then I replace them with even plainer, more basic clothes than I started out with.It’s true that women’s clothes are not designed for that kind of prologned wear, as any girl who’s ever experienced the sensation of an American Apparel t-shirt melting off her back mid dance-class (sometime around fashion season 3.5, is when this will generally start to occur) will surely agree.Also: pockets: totally inadequate in 95% of ladies’ pants.

Funny, the Globe and Mail in the last edition I had the luxury to read, in the “Globe Life Section” had a section on how pockets just ruin the lines of good clothes.
It was right beside the story on how long waiting times are for abortions.
It clearly illustrated to me why there is now a “Globe Life Section” - apparently they are going head to head with Chatelaine for the female readers. Now the front section is for boys, along with sports and business,(why should I worry my fuzzy female brain about these things), and I get “Globe Life”! Along with realestate… clearly there is no clear sex bias for review.
Just saying… pockets. Decisions of our times.

I was going to mention the “ruin the lines” thing, but decided not to because I can’t roll my eyes visibly on here. Just give me some damn pockets. The other reason they cheat us is to save fabric. They’d do it to mens pants too, except that what guy is going to buy pants without pockets?

I have bought pants without pockets, but it wasn’t intentional. I am as I type this making an amazing pair of slacks ugly by stuffing my wallet, my keys, my cellphone, and a lighter into the front pockets. Ruint!

My current jeans have pockets so small, I ruin the lines by sticking in a tube of Chapstick.
