The "Khakis Refresh"
Since we were unable to play our first softball game due to the lack of female participation, I decided it was finally time to do the yearly "khakis refresh". All you cube-dwellers and techno-geeks of corporate america know what I'm talking about. They only last so long.
And, the ultimate cube-dwellers only go for the classic, no-wrinkle, pleated, Levis Dockers. Yes, you heard me correctly: pleated.
So I went to the nearest generic-but-not-quite-ghetto-yet mall where they have a JCPenny's. Unfortuately, I had to bump up the waistline by an inch this year. Although dark colors are prefered, I am at the mercy of availability. So the three pairs that I bought are in the three colors that they had in my size. Us cube-dweller geeks do not especially care about color, just pleats.
There are a few of my fellow cubies that try to break the mold and go with the stylish flat-front. These guys also tend to buy shirts with stripes that go diagonally or use hair product. Sell-outs. They are denying who they are. Be proud! wear plaid! be PLEATED!!!

i think pleats can be sexy
although the falt-front makes me look a bit fatter, i cannot bring myslef to by pleated pants.
i can't hold out any longer. i have to comment.
please say no to pleats.
although i do not think less of men who wear pleats.
but let's just say the pleated skirt went out of style for a reason. even girls won't wear pleats anymore....
hmmm, sexy huh?
I know you are not going to believe this, but in my mad rush to leave the store, one of the pairs I bought was actually flat-front instead of pleated. It's not worth the trip back to the mall so I guess I'll try them out.
My problem with flat front is not that it makes me look fatter, but that it makes me look skinnier. And, apparently, less sexy.
NO! flat front is sexy!!
embrace flat.
i'm visibly shaken... i'm having trouble typing. i can't continue.
