Errbody Wearin’ Tights

Last semester, I was frequently the only person on campus in tights.

Being as I leave the house at 8 in the morning on a bike and proceed to run around on the bike all day and then head to ballet class, it just makes sense to live my life in tights (jogging tights, usually; capri-length if it’s hot out).

This semester, tights have asploded all over campus. As far as I know, I’m still the only dude in tights (because not everyone can be as cool as Robin Hook, ‘k?), but there are all kinds of girls wearing tights — and I really do mean all kinds. All shapes, sizes, and colors. And I think that’s pretty awesome.

I would like to think that this means that Health At Every Size is starting to make a really visible impact. Hard to say. But, anyway, lots of people are wearing tights, and it’s not just the skinny little societally-approved-image people. And everyone looks pretty great in them.

Personally, I prefer “workout clothes” to regular clothes — as I’ve often said, it’s like you get to wear your pajamas all day! — so I’m down with this.

So that’s it for now. More later.
