an inconvenient truth

I've been meaning to watch An Inconvenient Truth, the film by Al Gore for awhile now, and I finally had the chance to complete it today. Sure it was a bit lecture-esque, but the point he makes is inspirational (to me atleast).







Even if global warming is a hoax, which I beleive it isn't, Al Gore makes a valid point that this is a problem of morality. It is immoral of us to keep living as if we haven't been warned. It's immoral to be ignorant.

Anywhoo, I recommend this film to everyone. It's very enlightening to how urgent this situation is. Enjoy.

emory's crime: tights and skirts.


Disclaimer: I am NO fashion police. However I've seen a little too much ass lately so I feel as if  need to share my thoughts to keep a few from embarr-ASS-ing themselves. 

#1~ Tights are NOT pants. Period.
You see how her ass is visible? Well that means these stirrups should be considered 'tights'. Tights were meant to be worn underneath a dress, shorts, or tunics. Tip: Your ass should be covered.

#2 Tights vs. Leggings


Yessss ladies, there are footless tights. Not to be confused with leggings. If your leggings look 'sheer'/'opaque' (see-through) they're most likely footless tights. They should NEVER be worn without a skirt, shorts, dress, or a tunic. OR ELSE.... your bare ass will be on display for the whole world to see. Going commando... even worse.
I'm sure everyone has their own definition of what leggings are, but as long as you CANNOT see through the leggings it is okay to wear sparing a tiny ounce of booty. Leggings come in all colors, textures, fabrics and styles. I know most aren't a fan of Lindsay Lohan, as myself, but here she does it well.
 
This is leggings done the right way. The model to the left doesn't have an extremely long top but I'm sure enough of her derriere is covered.

#3 No VPLs. (visible panty lines)
Please, thongs were created for a reason. If your bootay isn't going to be covered by a top please wear a thong. I don't suggest going commando just in case ;).

OK.. enough with that.. now onto our next problem

#4 If you're going to wear a skirt..
Okay, so today I saw a girl wearing a pleated skirt and her back pack kept raising up her skirt. Sure this wouldn't have been a problem if she were wearing panties, leggings or tights. BUT NO... surely her ass was hanging out of her teeny tiny school girl skirt. I felt bad but she pulled it down (thinking nothing too much was showing). OH.. but unfortunately her ass was in my line of vision.
Moral of the story.
PLEASE, boy shorts were created for a reason ladies.




I mean... if you're going to embarrass yourself, do it with some cute panties.
Honestly there's nothing wrong with wearing a thong but come on...
If your skirt hits one inch under your ass, the LEAST you could do is put on some panties/ boyshorts.
*Also, if you're going to double your tube top as a dress make sure you wear panties or keep your shirt down at the club while you're dancing. 
BACKPACKS + MINI SKIRTS + TUBE TOP DRESSES+ NO UNDIES = NO NO BRITNEY SPEARS.

A cute way to wear skirts this season is to pair it with stylish leggings or tights.


#5 If you're wearing a nice outfit...
As Blair Waldorf put it nicely on Gossip Girl, "Sandals are not shoes."
If you're going to dress super nice, keep the flip flops at home. Flats are a great alternative.

Yes there are exceptions. We are in college and we don't care what the hell we look like going to class 8:30 in the morning. All I'm asking is for asses to be covered or panties to not be flashing.
BTW: Lace panties coming out of your pants as a part of your outfit aren't cute either.
I love leggings and flip flops. I wear 'em to class for comfort, but let's not look crazy.
