“Are You Even Wearing Pants???” Gasparilla Recap
January 27, 2014Another Gasparilla in the books for the pirates of Tampa Bay. Each year gets a little more tame due to limiting drinking to “designated wet zones”, increased police presence and a heck of a lot more porta potties. Nothing leads to more chaos then not having plenty of opportunities for people drinking alcohol all day aka a diuretic for places to relieve themselves. The million dollar homes around Bayshore were getting fed up with people using their lawns in the same manner that their dogs would. This year in my opinion the parade looked well organized and I saw less public arrests.
With that said. I am starting to feel old. Well maybe not old but at the point in my life where I feel it is inappropriate for girls to dress up in lingerie and call themselves a pirate.
As we were walking around the invasion I asked about 5 different girls if they were wearing pants. Apparently I didn’t get the memo this year the dress code was a shirt and boy shorts underwear. Don’t worry I captured some evidence for you.
Oh my! No pants, really? Lol
XO, Gina
oh, so pirate day is like halloween where everyone can dress like a ho and you can’t judge? LOL

I already told you, Gary and I are in for next year!! Get ready for your own invasion…haha that came out wrong!! Loved your outfit and I can’t believe you were actually productive on Sunday…shows you how much has changed since college! I could barely function the next day!!
hahah OMG. this recap was hilarious (bonus points for the title). hoooray for wearing pants! haha and OMG, i wouldnt go into a portapotty to do my makeup! what was that girl thinking (i guess insert a LOT of alcohol there). xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Oh my!! I can’t believe people were wearing that!! And to go in one of those bathrooms for makeup?! I only go in there if I am dying to go. Ew!

Love your stripes and scarf!
she went in there to do her makeup!? like what!! i would rather do my makeup without a mirror than go in one of those hahaha
Wow! I could not just walk around in boy shorts like that. “There are youths everywhere” is one of my favorite lines from New Girl and extremely applicable in this situation. Sounds like fun though!
Haha love the title of this post. That girl is definitely wearing underwear as pants….WOW. I’ve seen some pretty short shorts/dresses in my day but not someone literally leaving the house with only her undergarments on (oh the youths….)
Glad you had fun!!

A coworker of mine has been to Gasparilla and I always found the concept kind of strange! I’m sure it’s a blast but crazy!! How can those girls feel comfortable wearing boy shorts out?! I’d be having to adjust it every second! And it looks like there’s a condom next to that girls shoe!!
Ha! So much fun! I love your gifs :)
Oh my gosh, love the girl with a large pizza not sharing -that is hilarious!!
I am having a healthy giveaway on my blog, please check it out!

Any time there’s a costume-theme and alcohol, minimum clothing seems to be another common theme. Way to stay classy out there ha. And if you’re going to eat a whole pizza by yourself, it’s called delivery :)
pirate theme! i must come some day. and can we talk about how i legit have those boyshort undies but would never dream of wearing them on their own.
nice post :)

Truly sounds like a crazy day adventure! I would be giving crazy looks to all the pant-less girls! I don’t know how they dress like that. “There are youths everywhere” is exactly what I would be saying! One of my favorite lines from New Girl, and so appropriate in this situation haha!
Sounds like a crazy day! This is starting to be how I feel about Halloween as well.. just an excuse for drunk girls to wear zero clothes haha. And those cupcakes.. YUM.

Aww it’s a sad day when you have to ask yourself if you’re too old to wear something. If you’re asking, the answer is probably yes (a Juicy purse was my first brush with reality. apparently I’m not 16). That said, I’m glad I leave the house fully dressed. Those don’t look like pants to me :)
haha Oh Gasparilla.. its totally a drunk fest! Love the New Girl reference.. I would feel the same way if I went nowadays! You look so cute!!
I’ve never heard of this… looks like a lot of fun!!!!! Those shorts are def questionable! haha
Oh dear, no pants? Haha, I’d like to see those girls do that here in Scotland at this time of year :P Mind you, I’ve seen all sorts on a Saturday night here, even in snow haha. Good on you for keeping it classy! Those cupcakes look delicious :)
Oh wow! Looks like a good time! I have always wondered what Gasperilla was like, now I know lol! I wish it was warm enough here to walk around with no pants :( haha
Looks like this was a really fun tine! A friend on Instagram was there and that was the first time we had heard of Gasparilla. Love that you got a pic of the girl running around in her underwear acting they they were pants. :-)
