(Please excuse the unabashed superficiality and bitchyness of what follows.)

Lululemon. Everyone, whether they admit it or not, has an opinion. Do you like it? Hate it? Love that half the hot girls in the city walk around in spandex? Hate that you can't fit your ass into it?

Personally? I'm a fan. Even if much blatant staring from creepy men does ensue, it seems like a small price to pay for the unbelievable comfort of such high-quality lycra hugging your body.

At the same time, I'm not always a fan of the hordes of girls in Kitsilano who wear their Lulu like a uniform while drinking Starbucks and having vapid conversations about The O.C.

I try to give them the benefit of the doubt though. After all, I'm blonde, and I do have my own moments of apparant idiocy. But tonight, I saw something that I just couldn't help but laugh out loud at: a pretty blonde girl, baguette purse under arm, Starbucks in hand, and Lululemons on inside out.

Now sweetie, I know that fancy flat seaming does make it difficult to tell one side from the other, but your size stamp goes on the inside. Unless, of course, you wore them that way on purpose so that we would all know you wear an extra small... in that case, I believe I've encountered a whole new breed of Kitsilano narcissist.

Like I said, I'm a blonde, I have my moments. Sometimes I say stupid things, and I enjoy reliving it later, which only makes it worse. But hey, you have to be able to laugh at yourself. Yes, it did take me 2 years to realize why it's called the 99 "B-Line". I'm not a total idiot, I'd just never bothered to think about it before.

You're laughing, aren't you?

That's cool. I'm okay with it. I wouldn't tell that story over and over again if I wasn't.

But let me say this:

I may live in Kitsilano,
and I may be blonde,
and I may wear my Lululemons to the gym...

But I pair them with a worn out t-shirt
that says "sleep better with an anaesthesiologist"
(not the matching Lulu top)
and, generally speaking,
I do manage to put them on right side out.
