Leggings do not equal pants

Unless you've been in a fashion coma for the past several years, I'm sure you have noticed the leggings trend. The unfortunate thing about trends is that some people do not understand that they are not for everyone, or shall I say, every "body". Take leggings, for example. While they are all fine and dandy on a girl who's skinny, skinny, and skinny, they are quite the opposite for the rest of the population. (And by "rest of the population" I mean those who eat Ho Ho's for breakfast.) It always seems that these particular people enjoy donning this garment as PANTS! Don't people look in the mirror after they get ready?!?!?! What is it about "two hamhocks wrapped in spandex" that makes the wearer think they look like a supermodel? Let me set the record straight, LEGGINGS DO NOT EQUAL PANTS! EVER! I'm doing you a favor by not including an image of this horror of a fashion statement because we've all seen it one too many times!
