Spring Fashion statements

In a further schism from my running background; from now on all running shorts will called 'diapers' on this blog. Tri shorts are so much more slimming.

It is a given that triathlon clothing is tight. From heretoforth it shall be called "Second Skin" on this blog.

Metrosexuals are not all triathletes though many triathletes are metrosexual. I think a man should only shave his his face, his back and his golf score on a regular basis. No man should ever shave his legs bare unless he lost a bet or Ironman is week away.

Thank God that the fashion houses have brought back thick, funky belts for spring. I no longer have to see size 12 girls wearing size 8 low rider jeans, so that their fat guts hang over their jeans and look like the tops of muffins which gave way to me labeling them "Muffin Guts' and being forever banned from the Express store near my house.

I want to end this post with a great link to a video from Pink. Its about 3 minutes long. Its a great message about female role models in society. I wish more people would preach this kind of upbringing for young women instead of trying to tell us things like Demi Moore looking fabulous for her age and not mentioning she had $325,000 of plastic surgery for Charlies Angels 2.

great video.

disagree with you on the shaved legs thing. One bad bike wreck on shaved legs and you'll be sold. Huge difference in skin damage.

Of course, I like the way it looks...maybe I am a metrosexual. My wife digs it too.

Muffin gut is good. That's it exactly!

I'm not in with the shaving unless you're getting many massages. That's why the pro's do it. And one can always shave the area after injury and have the same benefit.

LOL, I love the muffin guts thing... Too true.

And I *just* downloaded this song last week, and listened to it this morning on my run! Very cool.

mipper said...

love that song. never heard before, but definately going onto my mp3 players very soon. so true. i always liked Pink. she has always thumbed her nose at the projection of what hollywood says women should be.

I just heard muffin tops last weekend-like when the muffin spills out of the top of the muffin cup-If you read the WSJ opinion page, Peggy Noonan has a great article on the difficulty of being a lady in today's society-preach on there Comm.

Bridget said...

I had never heard muffin guts before but it is just so perfect. Thanks for the laugh.

I'm off to listen to the song now.

P.s. great job on your No Limits training!

Raising hand for shaved legs. 1. because a shaved leg is easier to massage. 2. it's just hot on an endurance athlete.

Oldman said...

"Muffin Guts" is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. Gold.

I have a entire rant about just such girls...I will save it and let everyone enjoy this funny post.

Keryn said...

Okay...muffin guts has officially become my new favorite phrase.

And that video is great. Thanks for sharing. My mom always told me I'd be happier in the long run being the smart girl than being the popular one. She was right. :)
