Raincoats and Elastic Waistbands
Posted By AmyD. on April 5, 2010
“It all started with a simple black raincoat” back in 1910 and a catalog business was born. 100 years later, Blair is still in business and these days that really says something. Today Blair.Com encompasses not only raincoats but a wide selection of, well, just about everything. It’s like an old-school department store online. Think less trendy more tried and true.
I have to admit that I was a little concerned since I was asked to be “creative” if at all possible. One look at a wide selection that included slacks with elastic waists and all I could envision were the legions of men out there who push back their chair after Thanksgiving dinner and unbutton the top button on their pants with a loud, satisfied sigh. That, of course, reminded me of the “Friends” episode where Joey (and where is Matt LeBlanc anyway? He just got douche-y and disappeared, didn’t he?) wears Phoebe’s maternity pants so he has room for all the food at Thanksgiving.
Which left me with as much creativity as a pair of loud, plaid, maternity pants can muster. In short, not much. Back away from that rabbit trail, Amy.
Blair’s prices are fair especially in this economy. The selection in men’s shorts is a tad limited for my taste, but I can certainly see where a lot of guys would find their all-purpose stand-by pants and shorts here.
Men’s pants & jeans by Blair here.
Men’s shorts and swimwear by Blair here.
Blair.Com – men’s shorts, although that links to women’s pants but since this is PPP I have to have the exact link in there. 
I’d love to tie this up a little neater than that but it’s all I have since I’m suffering from massive Easter chocolate hangover and still hanging around in my own elastic waist pajama pants this morning.

Amy is a flaming twatwad.
Do your own words hurt?
Nope. Don’t you know that when you are an originator of an insult you get instant immunity from said insult? Since imitation is the greatest form of flattery I think I owe you a thank you.
I’m just soooo disappointed you won’t be coming back to get your thank you.
Allison…you forgot the smiley flaming twatwad…..that was the great part of that original comment…or maybe it was the 2 girls and 1 cup? Can’t remember since it was so long ago. And yes Dooce sucks but Chuck is really cool!!

Well, hopefully you got my email.
Allison, would you care to elaborate on that? I’m unsure which words should hurt her but I am all over net drama and today is boring so please, do tell.
You are so good!! **bowing to the master*

I almost bought some elastic waist pants the other night but decided that I was delusional and tire. Good call.
And I’m a flaming twatwad on a *good* day. Fried cunt when I’m being mean.
