Um, thanks. I’ll be sure to make space in my closet.
Today marks the 6th anniversary of this blog and a special day for me to reflect on the meaning of pants.
Happy Anniversary! I still remember that fateful day you said the words “I’m thinking of starting a blog..” (really, I do remember it)
Thanks, b! That’s so funny that you remember me talking about it. I don’t entirely remember. Was a phone conversation? I kinda remember standing in my basement and talking about it. Was I in the basement and on the phone with you?
Happy Blog Anniversary to Little Miss Fancy Pants!
Thanks, Veronica! But it must be said that my own pants are rarely fancy. But I’ll take the title!
Happy Blogthday! Or, rather, Happy Pantsday? No, wait, Pantsy Blogthday! Hmm. None of those seem ideal, but you know what I mean.
I hope that Bizarre Pants Triangle by New Order (my laundry folding needs work, I guess) and Who Needs Pants Like That by Erasure (because skinny jeans are not actually flattering for all of us) can make it onto the playlist.
Thanks, Sally! I kinda like Pantsy Blogthday. But maybe that’s because I’m not trying to say it out loud.
I was hoping people would add to the list! So many pants songs to enjoy. I did consider New Order’s Bizarre Pants Triangle (such a great song), but it didn’t make the finished list. (The first version was crazy long. I do love my pants. But not everyone wants to read a 50-item list of pants, it would seem.)
