You've heard of hotpants
By Monty Siekerman
You've heard of hotpants, well, how about frozen pants?
This scene of jeanswear was found adorning the sign at the entrance to King-Horn Gym on Wednesday morning.
A few inquiries about who put them there and why went unanswered. It was a clandestine effort, one to make you smile.
Perhaps a window dresser plied his trade, or a fashion geek decided to pull a stunt.
In any case, here is how Wikipedia describes hotpants, in case you don't know because you've had your head buried in the snow since the 1970s:
"Hotpants, hot pants, or booty shorts describe extremely short shorts, which may be worn by women and, to a lesser extent, by men."
Maybe ONU will start a new jeans trend: frozen pants.
