Skants
Oh, this is fantastic. Really, I was getting so tired of pants with crotches in them. Sure, it gets a little drafty, but at least you can do upskirt videos in the winter.
UPDATE: This post appeared on Regretsy in January of 2010. It was so popular, it spawned one of our first contests.
We asked you to make your own Skants by putting your legs through the sleeves of a sweater or blouse. We told you to send us a photo, and reminded you that ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING.
First prize was exceedingly valuable:
Embroidered Regretsy toilet paper, from the creator of the world famous Lady Caca
Truthfully, we thought maybe a couple of you would be bored enough to do this. But we received hundreds and hundreds of entries, which was simultaneously thrilling and depressing. Kind of like the last three years.
Here then, are the the best of your entries.
Honorable Mentions:
Runners-Up:
Your 4th Place Entries
WINNERS*
*Although technically, there are no winners on Regretsy
3rd Place
2nd Place
Note: Thanksgiving Skants man was so popular, he inspired this Zazzle merchandise. The meta got even meatier when we sent him a Skants Man sweatshirt, which he modeled on his legs, upside down.
This is now widely regarded by scholars as the apex of post-modern meta meme recursive clusterfuckery.
AND THE WINNER IS…
Thanks for playing!

Skants never get old. I laugh my crotch off every time I see them.
September 29, 2012 at 10:07 am
Simultaneously fabulous and horrifying….in other words, Regretsy at its best.

The cat! I was holding it together perfectly fine until I scrolled down and saw the cat in Turkeyman’s hood. Then I started laughing. It may take medical intervention for me to stop.

I’m so jaded now, my take-away from this is “gosh, Regretsians sure have nice legs.”
And Jessica has an awesome boyfriend.

I love Skants. I can take care of embarrassing itches with an even more embarrassing scratch.

If only Prince Harry had remembered to bring his skants to Vegas…
September 29, 2012 at 10:53 am
Everyone looks great when skantily clad

Took a peek at the seller’s shop. Wow. This one in particular caught my eye.
What’s bothering me is thinking about how you’d look like you were floating in the air with mutant legs if you were standing against a dark background.

Fetish wear for penguin lovers?
September 29, 2012 at 11:19 am
Yeah, that’s pretty much it.

Her “Twilight Princess” Midna cosplay needs work.
September 29, 2012 at 12:26 pm
I like the frou frou little red ankle bows.
September 29, 2012 at 1:05 pm
THAT’S the one that caught your eye from her shop?
September 29, 2012 at 5:49 pm
Well I would buy it but seller couldn’t even be bothered to removed the grommets from the shower curtain. I’d never get through airport security.
September 29, 2012 at 3:56 pm
Looks like a button-down tooth to me.
September 29, 2012 at 11:37 am
So. You were supposed to leave, and now sit down and put together stuff on weekends as well.
We knew you’d miss us!
PS: There is no end for my love for the turkey man (along with the Lincoln steampunk guy). I’m sure they two are somewhere accomplishing great things right now.
September 29, 2012 at 12:02 pm
I don’t start my new project until Monday, but yes, I do miss you already.
September 29, 2012 at 6:57 pm
I think I speak for everyone.

…when awarding this to the previous comment.

“I keep trying to get out; and they keep pulling me back in.”

Well, any Etsian will tell you, Regretsy is exactly like the Mafia.

No TV show, no matter how good the ratings nor how much money it makes you, will ever replace the emotional satisfaction you got from running this site.
Unless it’s at least a 6 share and a $500 an episode.
September 29, 2012 at 11:58 am
Always enjoyable. And, am I crazy, or do some of those people look good in their skants?
September 29, 2012 at 12:43 pm
If you have ever been to France or Greece, Skants would be fantastic when you have to go to the toilet!
I hope Bronc bought Helen her own Zombie pic, the holidays are coming and would make a great gift!
September 29, 2012 at 6:29 pm
Funny to see France, Greece and toilet in the same sentence; greeks (along with the rest of Europe) think that nothing can surpass the french in this field
September 29, 2012 at 2:19 pm
The new skants?
SadlyScarily, I see this a lot in my neighborhood.September 29, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Sadly, since that is in fact a tank top, the resulting fashion item would be a “skank” which is a rather unfortunate name.
September 29, 2012 at 5:50 pm
Unfortunate, but accurate.
September 29, 2012 at 5:51 pm
Yet apparently quite accurate.
September 29, 2012 at 5:55 pm
Hey l.b. looks like two great minds.
November 9, 2012 at 12:54 pm
Here in NZ it’d be a singlet, so.. skinglet?
September 29, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Where is a booty buddy when you need one.
September 29, 2012 at 2:23 pm
This post made my soul feel better.
That is all.
September 29, 2012 at 5:42 pm
That’s one patient cat.
September 29, 2012 at 6:25 pm
Catherine O’Hara did this in Beetlejuice!! Which is just icing on this crotchless cake, really.

Ohdeargod is THAT what she was wearing? Never dawned on me that it was a ruddy sweater and I blocked out the image.
September 30, 2012 at 7:31 pm
Holy crabcakes, I never noticed that before! What a great eye!
Oddly, though, it just goes to show that no matter how innovative you think you are, you’re only the person with better publicity, because someone else has ALWAYS beaten you to the concept.

The hubby is wearing the sweater the scene before, which is the only reason I caught it.
Frankly it raises a lot of possibilities. A couple, with one wearing a sweater, and the other with a matching skant. Or an entire onesie type outfit made of two identical sweaters; one above and one below. The mind boggles.

We love a good skants skit in Australia. But here we call them Jumperpants.

I am destined to be single forever, because, after viewing these, no women I meet will ever measure up.
September 30, 2012 at 7:34 pm
I was wondering how “she is giving birth – to fashion” could possibly not have placed… and then, I got to the Thanksgiving Edition.
