Well they’re finally here — Levi’s iPod Enabled Pants. You know what this means, don’t you? We get to add another pair of pants to the Ugly Pants File — that figurative circular metal bin you throw old clothes into like on What Not to Wear.
What, may I ask, was wrong with keeping your iPod in your, er, regular pocket? Isn’t that why gadget manufacturers are constantly clamoring to create ever-smaller devices in the first place? That’s what we mean by “pocket-sized,” people.
But rather than agree with all the of negative bashing going out there in the blogosphere, I don’t think the pants are all that bad. In fact, I might actually go grab myself a pair. That way, not only am I digitally connected, but any would-be boyfriend can keep me on a short leash.

I do not know if they are ugly as I haven’t been able to find an image, but these pants certainly deserve mention in the pants section of my site. It looks like Apple once again revolutionizes not just music but fashion as well…

(No, it’s not an allusion to some sexual innuendo)
Too bad it’s not happening around Father’s Day, because the Ugly Pants Open would make the perfect father-daughter event. My dad could play the sport while I sported today’s entry of Ugly Pants.
How apropos that the tournament benefits Goodwill.
I suppose at some point, when one gets tired of ugly pants all together, one just takes them off.

It has come to my attention that there is very serious void in Ugly Pants Tracking. We have all seen them — ugly pants. But not until now have I realized the extent of the problem, nor the complete lack of keeping tabs on their proliferation. Someone must keep tabs, and I am that someone. Thus, behold: a new category on my still-nascent blog — the Ugly Pants Category.
Today’s entry is the undeniably charming DKNY Men’s Leather Pants found on Ebay complete with apology (“I unfortunately own”), a narrative (“I bought them many, many years ago under the spell of a woman…”) and a tagline (“Stylish. Expensive. Very much a bad purchase for me”) with is always appreciated by this copywriter. I advise acting quickly — a deal like this doesn’t last long in San Francisco.
It’s a good read, to boot.

What the hell is J. Crew thinking? They have, in their online catalog, courduroy dress pants, “each leg panel is a different color (navy, tiger lily, pine & maize).” Yes, it is from the current Winter 2005 catalog. No, I will not be ordering a pair.
Although I’m sure many will visit this site for bleeding-edge trend coverage (God knows I was on top of that metallic shoe trend that — despite misconceptions — started in the Tenderloin, San Francisco, not from Aldo fashionistas), I suspect I would wear out the ole RSS reader before I could even cover half of the trends that interest me. My NewsFire, in fact, is currently bogged down with 365 unread feeds. If only I could be a professional news junkie. Alas, I will instead redirect those interested parties to a site that I find does a pretty fair job: Agenda Inc. as I do want try and develop *somewhat* original material instead of going link-happy (see this paragraph).
But the pants were too good to be missed. Thank you J. Crew for another insightful foray into Fashion 2006
