BARRINGTON, R.I. (WPRI) — In just a short amount of time, more than 100 women have made plans to wear yoga pants and march in a parade down a street in Barrington.
The parade comes in response to a Barrington Times letter to the editor written by a town man about his dislike for yoga pants.
The backlash to Barrington resident Alan Sorrentino’s letter came almost immediately, with many women taking offense and sharing their feelings on social media and the Barrington Times website.
WPRI’s news partners at The Providence Journal spoke to the woman who organized the event and she said she was half-joking when she first mentioned a parade.
“As a joke, I said I have extra pairs everyone can borrow. Let’s go have a parade,” Erin Johnson said in an interview with the Journal. “I thought it would be funny if everyone went and protested in yoga pants, everyone over 20.”
The “Yoga Pants Parade” is planned for Sunday at 2 p.m. on Sorrentino’s street.
Like spandex, they should be sold with a weight limit.
Close — cooking, wine, ponytail are all me ... but gotta substitute a cat (or 3) for the dog!
Yay Moose Knuckle! Be Loud Be Proud

i LOVE that picture!
I had several bassets (God rest their souls) but now have a cat as of last weekend! She is a rag doll cat that was part of a huge puppy mill bust a few weeks ago She is about 1-2 years old and has never really had human touch but is coming out of her shell by leaps and bounds! Poor baby - no telling how many litters she had.

There are some silly folk in this country. Do these over 20 women have nothing better to do with their time than worry about what some aging man thinks of their yoga pants? Not to mention that he is right on a certain level. Let’s face it no one wants to watch a 200lb woman walk around the grocery store in her yoga pants or tights.
I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t want to see my 60yo butt in bicycle pants either.
Even though I’ve lost 70 pounds, things just aren’t where they used to be when I was a strapping(and quite handsome, irresistable and charming) younger man..

Dear editor,
I’m deeply offended when women aged 18-30 wear thongs and V string penalties in public.
Please notify me when the protest march is planned.
LOL! You left out humble. Enjoy, one of my favourite songs.
I dont know, the last line suggests that hes jelously gay. Then again, it could be the best real usage of reverse psychology Ive ever seen.
Is that some kind of womens hockey league thing? Sounds like a sport I might take time to watch.
Can you imagine looking in the mirror and saying to yourself “Dayum, girl. You look gooood in that”
(Can’t remember the comedian who used that line)
Oh no, please tell me that is photoshopped!
He would be correct in objecting to both. 99% of the filthy skanks who parade naked down the streets are old fat lesbians. But, if that's your thing.
You guys sound like a law firm: Digger and Ditter
