I am all for people being who they are, all for folks flying their freak flags, all for everyone finding a special place on the wonderful and rich continuum of gender identities. But I am going to tell you to pull up your goddamn pants no matter how you identify.
This person's sag is not terribly egregious, but still -- I can see your drawers. Pull 'em up.

Summer is winding down, but the weather is still plenty warm enough for young men to display their assets (heh). Here are two gents on their way down to the train. I particularly like the fellow on the left, with his muffin top on steroids and his multicolored tank top, which is actually tucked into those jeans. The bright blue ball cap really makes the outfit pop! The fellow on the right, meanwhile, takes a more monochromatic approach with his black drawers and grey-and-black shirt.

They say good things come in threes and I had proof of it last Friday afternoon.
Yes indeedy! In the short walk from the subway station to the bus stop, I was able to photograph not one, not two, but THREE droopy-drawered dudes -- a trifecta of sagitude!
First up, a moderately saggy-pantsed fellow. I think this guy just has pants that are too large for him, as opposed to the guys making bold fashion statements. Then again... well, you be the judge.

Next up, a White Rasta Wannabe Vampire Guy. Honestly, it was a very warm afternoon. So I really don't get the knit hat.

Finally, a bold fashion statement indeed. I particularly like the hint of colorful underwear; if you look closely, you can see of it through the semi-transparent wifebeater. And the black socks with shower shoes? Classic. That look never goes out of style!
It really is worth a closer look, just so you can see the chic curve of the belt along the cheek line and the contrasting pattern of the underwear versus the camo.

Last weekend I went to my grandnephew's first birthday! He is a little ball of fire, and evidently quite in tune with the clothing trends for young men. However, his mom was right on top of things and did not allow this Fashion Faux Pas to continue for long.
I also decided that, in deference to his baby status, that the title should be G-rated. Hence the "gosh darn."

Well, I kinda fell down on the job with the Photo-A-Day posts; I blame the bronchitis and a trip to Wisconsin for partying. (More -- much more -- on that later.)
But for now, I cannot resist showing you this fellow in his colorful striped shirt, plaid boxers, and droopy drawers.

One problem with stealth photography is the fact that you oftentimes have to shoot while moving. I saw the subject of this edition of PUYGP on the corner of 7th and G Street, right across from the Chinatown arch. I actually saw him as I was walking down the sidewalk and knew I couldn't let this one get away. I grabbed my phone.
Then I had to unlock it, tap the camera app, wait for the camera app to fire up, switch it picture taking mode, aim, and finally shoot, all while keeping up with him as he walked his long lanky self across the street.
But here he is, totally fuzzy and definitely droopy.

My great good friend Judy sent me this photo, taken by her lovely and talented granddaughter Hannah. It's proof that women, too, need to pull up their goddamn pants.

Saggy pants are not just for teens anymore! Believe me when I tell that the owners of these garments are well past young adulthood. In fact, I would actually refer to them as grown-ass men. Unfortunately, they still do not know how to buy pants that fit.

Really dude; do not besmirch the number of our new coach Dale Hunter!
In honor of my Washington Capitals beating the Detroit Red Wings to remain undefeated, I present a trio of saggy pantsed Caps fans. None of these are particularly horrendous, given a few that I've posted already, but they were saggy enough for me to take a picture.
First, this fellow. I had to act fast as we were getting on the escalator. And, the sag-sation was worse than this shot shows -- shooting down does not give one the full effect. Alas.

Second, we have a fellow shuffling down the Verizon Center concourse. This one's a little blurred because I had to keep walking while I took it so that he wouldn't get away. The risks I take! Again, I must point out that his pants begin exactly where his red shirt ends.

Finally, the mark of a true fan. It's hard to tell from the photo -- another one taken at a bad angle on the escalator -- but this fellow is actually wearing Caps boxer shorts. He shoots, he scores!

Let's brighten up this dreary Saturday morning with another contribution from the lovely and talented Measi! This fella has a very curvaceous heinder, which is only emphasized by the belt on his low-lying jeans. I wonder if his pal is laughing with or at him.
