Girl gear

I now live in Spokane, where I have resided for the last 3 months. I always knew it was cold in Spokane, and it is, with night temperatures into the teens and sure to get colder as winter goes on. These frigid temperatures have led me to make an important discovery however. Women's garments, specifically “leggings” are warm and comfortable. These are the long underwear that women wear. I think they call them “tights”, and they certainly are. Regardless of what they are called, they are cozy. I’ll admit I was a little hesitant to slap these things on. I've always fancied myself as something of a man's man: rough exterior, lots of foul language, infrequent bathing, excessive television, those sorts of things.The whole idea of wearing women’s clothing set me back, not that there is anything wrong with men wearing women’s clothing. I’m a pretty open-minded guy. It was just never my thing. It was only at my wife’s urging that I gave these a try. These tights are not like men’s longjohns, which are thick and bag in some really uncomfortable places, and have a really complicated fly arrangement that is ridiculous for the purpose intended. These girl tights don’t bag, and…no fly. I imagine they have no fly because of the difference between male and female plumbing, but regardless, women’s tights give a sleek, streamlined appearance. I squeeze into these babies and look like a regular ballet dancer, albeit an overweight, 61 year old one. And so, as winter deepens, you'll find me shopping in the ladies department, thank you very much. That's just the way it is.
