I was just on a cruise where a guy was wearing these. Can you imagine the nerve to lie outside in the sun trying to fake the realness?

zaky - Yup, Gaultier did this more like 10, maybe 12 years ago. I remember my grandmother and I laughing at the leggings, at something like $150- a pop. Even my 80 year old grandmother could see how fake they were and how idotic it would be waste money like that.

Why don't people just get their own sheer leggings, pantyhose, some permanent markers and have at it? At least if you made it yourself you might have a little credibilty.

@cdmunch: Your question suggests that there are Gawker posts not written in gay bars. Which I doubt.

@xavierk: Cuz the more I think about this, the less difference I can see between wearing tattoo sleeve-hose and, um, getting sleeves of purty pictures tattooed on your arm. But maybe that's just me.

That has got to be the ultimate in pussiness. Talk about wearing your fashion slave status (not to mention your fear of pain and commitment) on your sleeve.

What a douche.

Or you could do what the rich who want to look like rock stars do in LA and go in for "sleeve sugery." They put you under and then two tattoo artists go to work on both of your arms at the same time. When you wake, you're instantly "Indie."

Why am I dressed in black, you ask? Oh, I'm on my way to a funeral. For whom, you ask? Oh, just the death of anything that was actually progressive and anti-conformity as opposed to, say, aping the trappings of counter-culture fashion while actually embodying everything about superficiality and conspicuous consumerism! Wanna come with? Should be a blast!
