According to Associated Press, a Belleville, Il. man whose hankering for women’s hosiery has landed him in prison is in trouble again — once more for his apparent lust for leggings.

St. Clair County prosecutors charged James Dowdy on Friday with felony attempted burglary for his uninvited visit of a parked car. He also was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct for dropping socks in a neighborhood where witnesses say they saw him slinking.

Dowdy has been sentenced to prison in 2004, 1997 and 1994 for various periods, all reportedly for burglary-related charges tied to his efforts to get women’s socks. Belleville police Captain Don Sax says there’s been no evidence Dowdy is threatening, and that he seems to be only after women’s socks.

In an entry entitled “The A-to-D Guide for Interning at Teen Vogue”, Jossip bloggers (The celebrity+media+Manhattan people. We read ‘em all…) report that an career intern has revealed the secret.

We stopped at letter “A”, where among other things, it is recommended to wear “…T-shirts, leggings, and leotards in as many colors as a Crayola crayon box.”

Glad you asked. Crayola? Wow! we have a spandex fabric named that very same name! Actually, it’s pretty much like wearing the 144-size box!
We also have loads of exciting fabrics to help you build your crayon box of clothes. Prints, solids, that famous gold lame from what’stheirname, animal, and in the risque category, some pretty meshy stuff.

As for the choice of leotards, leggings, and T-Shirts, what can we say… And, contrary to what’stheirname, we have it in your size. From XS to XL in standard measurements, or made to measure up to 8XL. Take your measurements with our easy instructions, and we will make it to fit, guaranteed!

New York Post’s Brian Niemietz writes “I count myself among [men in tights] now, a true fashion trailblazer. This week in Milan, menswear designer Marni inspired me, sending models down the runway in suits and leggings. By fall, the industry promises, no Wall Street trader will be complete without a pair of man hose. ”

Well, Brian, good for you! Hope we can help this fashion trend spread like the brushfire you anticipate!

OK, so looking at the picture there on your right, you have what has been described as the $100,000 Balenciaga Leggings”.”As a trend, leggings aren’t going out of style just yet. Instead, they’re getting more sophisticated. Balenciaga featured this particular pair in their S/S 2007 runway collection. They look metallic, but it is more likely that they are made of some sort of metallic fabric than actual gold. Then again, they are made only at request and cost roughly $100,000 per pair, which is pretty steep for what amounts to what is little more than long underwear.”Well, we think of ourselves as sophisticated enough, thank you very much. Now, we won’t even pretend that we can replicate those for under $40, but we can try. First, we have a great selection of metallic fabrics. Not as much texture and details than the Balenciaga, but hey, you have a choice of colors (Balenciaga: gold only…). And you’ll get to keep both arms and both legs…!You can then order a pair of leggings which we will make especially for you “on request”, just like if you were shopping at Balenciaga! Who says you have to mortgage your chateau to get this kind of attention?Adding to the feeling of luxury, you can pick your choice of either full length, capri, or pedal pusher. Standard sizes from XS to XL, or even made to measure, if you need. Voila! Leotards.ca has just saved you $99,950.00 and some change.
