@radi0j0hn When I first read this I thought “oooh, 71 inches! His wife is tall like me. Those are gonna be way too short for her.” 20 years into being married I had to put a moritorium on my husband buying clothing for me. His taste runs too much towards the Peg Bundy goes on safari after shopping at Frederick’s of Hollywood trashy side of things. There’s a time & place for leopard and zebra prints, and red lace; however, preferably not together, and not on a bra.
@ThunderChicken Hm. If they weren’t for tall ladies only I’d buy them and fabric paint them with Elvis. Seriously. I’d totally do that. Or I’d have someone else paint them because I can’t draw or paint. But still. Stellar idea!
@Gypsigirl213@ThunderChicken I can promise you without a doubt, a 29" inseam is not for tall ladies. At 5’10" and a 35" inseam, those suckers wouldn’t come any where close to my ankle. HOWEVER, I’d wear them as a pair of 7/8 length leggings if they had Elvis painted all over them. Elvises? Elvis’? Elvii? What does one call more than one Elvis? Or maybe just settle for a large full length white jumpsuited Elvis running down one leg?
OH! Idea!! I wonder if those print-your-own-iron-on transfers would work?!
@lichme@phendrick and all their other, um, parts are identical also! And none of them cast a shadow or a reflection on the brightly lit, shiny wood floor - what witchcraft is this?
@phendrick Even we old ones had to take a beat and think what the hell does the Velvet Fog have to do with…ohhhh.
Too bad the inseam is so darned short. They would be the perfect pants of mass distraction at my house. “Uh, yes, I did buy myself another pair of boots…Hey, wanna pet my butt?”
@robson He was nicknamed the “Velvet Fog” because of the timber of his voice. (But I don’t believe he was known for wearing velvet leggings; of course things were different back them.)
His best known individual work was “The Christmas Song” (“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…”) – he wrote the music and co-wrote the lyrics for it. He was also an actor and a drummer.
@robson If you like jazz, this video is probably better to show off his “velvet fog” voice. He kinda lost the “v f” aspect as he got older; his voice kinda “un-mellowed”.
I remember watching him on TV when I was a teen-ager, and appreciated him then, though I was a confirmed rock-and-roll fan.
No pockets = no. What is it with lack o pocket in women’s clothing. “Breaks the line/makes you look hip-y” is negated when there were no pockets in lots of my maternity clothes too. The line is gone, big hips might pull attention to something smaller than my huge belly.
@mollama So they can sell women bags. Tell women they should only use bags through perpetuated stereotypes and manipulative marketing, sell the bags at rediculous prices, remove all pockets, and then profit of course.
I want to be rich enough to be able to afford several pairs of these. I would then commission artists to paint their interpretations of Elvis on them turning them into wearable black velvet Elvis paintings. It’d basically be a clickbait excuse to give money to meh and to random artists.
I bought these for myself and i’m a man since I didn’t know any better. I got the right size and I have to say they are kind of nice and snuggly! I wouldn’t wear them out in the world since they don’t adequately hide my thunder, but they are quite nice for at home watching netflix, etc.
Oh good. My velour sweatpants from ~2004 are really beat up, I could use more cozy around the house pants. Would prefer if they had a proper size chart, but if it’s anything like those, there’s about a 50lb stretch to them.
@tinamarie1974 I feel your pain shorty sister. I saw these leggings and I was all ‘yes—something I actually need’. I saw velvety and I was all ‘yes—I love soft stuff & my puppers will love snuggling on velvety legs’. But then I saw 29 inch inseam and I was all…
@ThunderChicken@tinamarie1974 Actually, not a bad idea. Damn, Thunderbird you’re like a good idea machine today. Go forth into the day and change the world.
@Gypsigirl213 IKR, they must think we are all giants around here!
And no folding, it will look odd. I thought about getting them and taking them to my seamstress to shorten, but when you add in the cost of alterations, well, MEH…
@PooltoyWolf The money amount is $1776
“The Declaration of Independence, 1776. By issuing the Declaration of Independence, adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, the 13 American colonies severed their political connections to Great Britain. The Declaration summarized the colonists’ motivations for seeking independence.”

@PooltoyWolf Oh, durh, you meant for the gif. I answered that question thinking it someone else asking about the 1776 (was half asleep when I answered). As for the gif, it’s a light poke about it being a nerdy observation, which is a poke at myself too since I knew what you were referring to.
2x Marc New York Performance Velvet Leggings in color of your choice
Here’s a Fun Fact for You
While “Stormy Night” is one of the color choices for this deal, it also conveys to me a deep apprehension stemming from my past. And when I say past, I specifically mean last night. Because last night was a stormy one, indeed. The thunder boomed in the skies and lightning shot overhead, lighting up my countenance just enough for a sheriff to spot me. My face was one that was not inconspicuous, as it had been displayed across all news channels with a bold WANTED underneath it. The military man’s body was found in a creek near his house. An APB was placed. The sheriff, after a crackle of energy lit the sky, had spotted me and placed me under arrest. I must be going now. I passed on a phone call and have written this in its stead. The Fun Facts may be dead. Peace.
@RiotDemon not the way I saw it when I first opened the page, but then I realized I was using the meh stalker app, so maybe it was their fault, and not a change by meh to clarify the initial posting (?)
I wish I’d noticed the inseam was so short. I’m not tall, but I have a 34" inseam, and these do not work for my body type because of it. Though I guess it’ll be ok with a long sweater in winter.
Did anyone actually get a 2 pack ?? I ordered & paid for 2 (2 packs) and got 1 pr of each. Response was that was a 2 pack - must be the new math. Not sure if NY Attorney General will agree. I am not arguing with the value but be honest in your offers.
@carolchap it’s pick your own two pack. When you put the items in the cart, they are half the price that is shown on the front page. When you add two then you get the two pack for the full price shown on the front page.
@carolchap the front page stated $18 for the two pair. When you go into the buy menu it splits it for each piece so you get the colors you want, then they list each piece at $9 each.
@RiotDemon That’s what I have been trying to explain - when I went in the front page said 2 pr/$9.00- if I knew how to post a picture I would post it. Not losing any sleep but annoyed.
Sigh… No men’s 4XL
@rmeden would not want to see that, thanks for the mental image
@rmeden
Bro!
@rmeden you talking waist size?
@swarthytype yes… but @robson hit the nail on the head.
My wife is in shape, cute and 71. In for 2. [I got lucky].

@LaVikinga @radi0j0hn I’m still crying after reading your comment to my wife. Thank you!!!
@tinamarie1974 this is what i was looking for in here, thank you
@jerk_nugget this is ALWAYS my first thought when I hear the word VELVET
I bought a pair but I think they were used. I turned them inside out and there was a painting of Elvis.
@ThunderChicken Hm. If they weren’t for tall ladies only I’d buy them and fabric paint them with Elvis. Seriously. I’d totally do that. Or I’d have someone else paint them because I can’t draw or paint. But still. Stellar idea!

Probably the first item in my many years of VMP that has seriously made me consider cancelling altogether
@pat4ever I did last month, and part of me still regrets it. It really does almost feel like this is their goal though lately.
Stay strong.
@pat4ever But are you prepared to be
on when you cancel?
The amazon review (yup, there is one and only one) is nothing short of spectacular: “Quality material beautiful color and ecredably soft.”
@osiris3mc
/giphy underrated comment
@osiris3mc well, it was “icredibly soft”, but Apple sued them…
I find it odd that all 3 women have the exact same belly button.
@lichme And I bet your previous fantasies were on twins, but now, triplets?
@lichme @phendrick and all their other, um, parts are identical also! And none of them cast a shadow or a reflection on the brightly lit, shiny wood floor - what witchcraft is this?
@phendrick You young’uns won’t know the connection…
@phendrick perhaps the fog will lift?
@phendrick I guess that means I’m officially old! Dang.
@phendrick Even we old ones had to take a beat and think what the hell does the Velvet Fog have to do with…ohhhh.
Too bad the inseam is so darned short. They would be the perfect pants of mass distraction at my house. “Uh, yes, I did buy myself another pair of boots…Hey, wanna pet my butt?”
@phendrick ? don’t get the mel torme connection
@robson He was nicknamed the “Velvet Fog” because of the timber of his voice. (But I don’t believe he was known for wearing velvet leggings; of course things were different back them.)
His best known individual work was “The Christmas Song” (“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…”) – he wrote the music and co-wrote the lyrics for it. He was also an actor and a drummer.

@robson More jazz, Mel on drums:
No pockets = no. What is it with lack o pocket in women’s clothing. “Breaks the line/makes you look hip-y” is negated when there were no pockets in lots of my maternity clothes too. The line is gone, big hips might pull attention to something smaller than my huge belly.
Plus no to velvet exercise clothes. But the pockets thing is actually my number 1 look for. 2 is machine washable.
@mollama So they can sell women bags. Tell women they should only use bags through perpetuated stereotypes and manipulative marketing, sell the bags at rediculous prices, remove all pockets, and then profit of course.
Cat hair magnets… nope.
Why u no have sparkly man meggings
@sleepyjoey Don’t wanna hear it dude. I couldn’t buy the skull socks because they were men sized. It’s our turn.
@Gypsigirl213 but were there sparkles.
@sleepyjoey My sparkles come from the inside bro!
@sleepyjoey I want a man purse too
@robson looks like you have your shot they’re on sale today

#firstworldproblems
@Gypsigirl213 @ThunderChicken @tinamarie1974 roll them up and wear with boots. No one will know at all.
@tinamarie1974 I don’t think the material would even hold a hem.
@Gypsigirl213 of course it will silly, how do you think they made the leggings
Great idea but too late. @Gypsigirl213 and I already have this covered.
I can’t even begin to believe that KK wore each and every pair of these as claimed. Just sayin’
I love them, are they still available I want more!!!
@NildaAlanis Check out morningsave.com. This is Meh’s sister site – the leggings will probably cost you a more than what you paid here.
(Click on the picture and you will be taken to the sale.)
Even though these are for women and I accidentally bought 2 for a man, I like them a lot! They are comfy in the wintertime!
Since there here on Meh, in 2019, I’m guessing People magazine’s prediction was a little…optimistic
@ybmuG Meh, where fashion goes to die.
Would these make me look skinny, or like a blanched cauliflower?
@hchavers They would make you look clueless.
My winter uniform!
How patriotic!

@Gypsigirl213 All good c:
“Kim Kardashian wore them once”
Was going to ask if they came big enough to fit a men’s 2XL but this answered that question.
Will these chafe my baby smooth buttocks? BEcause that would be AWESOME!
I got two pairs and they are FREAKING AWESOME!!! Wish I had bought more!
Rebecca
These are surprisingly awesome. Went and bought a 3rd pair on morning save for way more.

@fastharrydotcom My God. Those. Should. Not. Exist.
Seriously thinking about it for my daughter, but she’s not THAT tall…
Meh editors, please publish sales totals by size. Asking for a friend, but he says you will sell four times as many extra large as small.
Pick your 2 pack
$9
Push order button
Price $18 for 2
Nope… Not gonna happen…
@chienfou they are $9 each. You pick the colors/sizes too make the two pack.
@RiotDemon not the way I saw it when I first opened the page, but then I realized I was using the meh stalker app, so maybe it was their fault, and not a change by meh to clarify the initial posting (?)
these are way too small for me, but i already have a pair i bought last year. i love them. (and they’re from f21 so they were cheap, too.)
I’m always a sucker for leggings.

Well if Kim wore velvet leggings… it’s a no go for me. Meh.
What part of polyester + spandex = velvet?!?
If Kim Kardashian wore these, think of the cost of all the antibiotics you’re going to need.
@Woody1
/giphy ewww
So much potential swass…Wear both at once…double the swass…
Anybody else’s package going from Dallas to IN back to Dallas? Velvet will be worn out before it gets to my door!
/image worn velvet
@looseneck mine always seem to go back and forth between IN and NJ. The meh tracking is entertaining at least, if not actually informative.
@ybmuG I think it’s finally in NJ. It WAS in my local PO but it went for a joyride 30 miles away.
@looseneck @ybmuG Mine went from Tx to IN to NY (home) to Tx then IN, NJ now PA - they will be worn out if they ever get here
I wish I’d noticed the inseam was so short. I’m not tall, but I have a 34" inseam, and these do not work for my body type because of it. Though I guess it’ll be ok with a long sweater in winter.

If you have a problem, the Meh folks will make it right. They have for me.
@RiotDemon Thats ok but I paid for 2 - 2packs/4 pr
got 2 single pair
@pmcgrane So far I got an email explaining what a pair is - ok but I ordered and paid for 2 - 2 packs- nothing yet
@carolchap @pmcgrane Here you go- if you paid $18 you got what you paid for. If you paid $36 they owe you another 2-pack.
When I ordered them they were pick your 2 pr $9.00 - If that was an error, I expect a disclaimer.
@carolchap the front page stated $18 for the two pair. When you go into the buy menu it splits it for each piece so you get the colors you want, then they list each piece at $9 each.
