Lindsay Lohan's got leggings

Lindsay Lohan really has something against pants. The girl is rarely seen sporting a pair of skinny jeans, preferring instead the super-ultra skinny look of her trademark piece of clothing: leggings.

When she launched her own line of leggings for Nordstrom, 6126, we got it. She's so into leggings, she needs to make her own for other people to buy. Fine. But, photos for her Spring 2010 ad campaign for 6126 Leggings have just started popping up online and they are confusing, to say the least.

The photos themselves, shot by celeb photographers Indrani and Markus Klinko (who will star in Bravo's new reality show Double Exposure) are hot, as most non-tabloid-y snapshots of LiLo are. But the leggings themselves really make no sense.

In one photo, it looks as though Linds is only wearing some biker shorts, with sheer leggings possibly attached. She's apparently going for the "Spandex shorts with tights underneath are totes in, guys!" look. It's not working.

Another campaign photo features her leaning against what may or may not be a stripper pole in a basic long black pair with gratuitous gaping slits down the sides. Someone call Brett Michaels and tell him his pants from 1985 were found. The rest of her outfit is straight out of Poison video. Lindsay, the groupie look doesn't work for you.

Then, there's the wannabe high-waisted skinny jeans but are really just high-waisted leggings meant to maybe sorta look like high-waisted skinny jeans pair. Too much effort! Just suck it up and wear some denim already!

I don't even have words for the all-lace-in-back pair that shows off her underwear. While these all make for attention-getting photos of Lindsay Lohan not looking crazy, it's hard to believe they're supposed to be selling an actual product. What do you think? Could you see yourself (or anyone you know for that matter) painting on a pair if 6126?

Thank you for reminding me

I'd forgotten, I had such a crush on her in that movie. I believe her character's name was loolee something...lulu...lahloo? Anyway I was like nine when it came out and we owned it on VHS. She didn't have any lines in the whole movie, just walked around being mysterious and I was utterly fascinated, haha. Also: Bruce Willis´s character was cool. God knows how many times I saw it, that tape is probably broken wherever it is.

Meh...

They aren't awful, but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable in them. You have to have a kickass body to wear 'em, obviously, and I'm pretty sure they'd make normal people look like an overstuffed sausage.

I'm rooting for Lindsey though.

She needs something good to happen to her.

I'm a fan

hmm!  as a child, I admired and LOVED Lindsay Lohan because she represented the "success" for every American girl of my age.  If you Google about her, you'll find that she was model at the age of 3, she was fashion model for Abercombie Kids and MANY other very popular brands, she played in movies like Parent Traps and the Disney movie Herbie: fully loaded.  I envied her and admired her.   That girl wasted her youth at acting like a grown up and now Ppl whine because she should grow up a little?  C'mon girls, Give her a break.. she's 23 yo.  I was a fan as a child, I'm still a fan as a teenager and I will always see what she did good first.  

I love what she was;

I love her leggings

I support and still love her today, whatever she did or didn't do

And yes, she's .. very sexy ^^

is it me

or are people having a difficult time separating her as a person from her leggings? a critique on her line does not equal a personal attack on her- por ejemplo: i kind of hate tom ford as a person AND YET love a lot of his stuff and will be seeing his film. in the same vein, i like marc jacobs as a person but the majority of his work i detest.

voice of reason

thank you!  zomg i dont like the leggings so i must hate lindsay lohan right?
dollparts's picture

umm ok ive been oblivious to the discussion going on here XD

i am not a lindsay fan as in i watch all her movies and stuff but i like some of them and like her style most of the time she seemslike a cool person but i dont know her personally so i cant make an informed decision. i dress like a candy raver most of the time and grungy punk the rest of the time and when people say they dont like my clothes or appearance i say meh whatever and when people say they dont like me i say FUCK YOU! lmao jk jk ....well sometimes i do XD, but i know the difference between the way a person feels about someones fashion choices and someones personality and life choices.  

 

Bottomline if you dont like her products duly noted no skin off her back shes got her line in many big stores, a few people dont represent everyone so time will tell if her line is what people want until then take a chill pill its not that serious its only clothes in question not lindsay herself who i think just needs a good long hug.......from me......and maybe a massage..... >.> umm ok now im pervying out (blame my redhead fetish :D) lmao g2g.

Nice leggings

Quite frankly, I didn't really read the article. XD I was too distracted by the pictures. I appreciate the clothing. I'd buy a pair of those anyday--more specifically the one's with the lacing on the sides.

Count me in sister! I just

Count me in sister! I just glanced at the pictures and read across a supposed 'rant'. I didn't see ranting, just a bunch of mumble jumble. I would never buy something like that though, but I can appreciate the art of picture fashion. Regardless of how I feel about the person, I have no place to say those things here, because it should be all about those smexy leggings!
strict machine's picture

ah

the always divisive and controversial issue of leggings.

All I have to say

All I have to say is...Lindsay is gorgeous. I'm not a fan of the leggings in and of themselves but plastered onto her perfect body they look pretty good.
