No pants day

Monday (14th) morning saw the world's 12th annual "no pants subway ride" (that's trousers and the Tube to you and me).

Got her tube map if not her pants

Now it strikes Joy of Tights that just because you cannot wear trousers you should still be able to wear tights.

Preparing for no pants day

Now having tights rather than bare legs and no trousers would offer a number of advantages

• Some level of warmth
• Legs look better
• The more modest and easily embarrassed can still take part in the fun

 

Getting breakfast on no pants day?  But panties outside tights?

Staged by entertainment collective Improv Everywhere, the mission began as a prank between seven men and is now, in its own words, "an international celebration of silliness".  Now thousands of people in more than 50 cities across the globe take part.

But no one appears to wear pantyhose over their panties.  Perhaps in American pantyhose sound too much like pants. Or perhaps tights aren't really considered underwear.

No pants but prepared for a terrorist strike on the subway

Perhaps the idea of no pants day could be extended from travelling work to being at work.  Then you would have to wear tights just to look professional.

Hope the office is warm

Without pants in public

Furthermore, no pants day could be extended to socialising after work

Pint without pants

Getting down with others without pants

But remember being without pants all day may cause sexual arousal

And don't forget you spend the day without pants (trousers) not panties (knickers)
