Review of Girlpants


The piece starts out with a very funny introduction of some girls realizing that they own the same pair of pants worn by a guy walking by. Throughout America, guys are beginning to wear girlpants in a growing fashion trend. Katie Zager really explores this issue from every angle, going into a lot more depth than most people would have thought to do. She explains the reasons why guys wear girlpants and why they look different on guys’ bodies compared to girls. Katie says that most guys who wear girlpants are inspired by the music they listen to, mainly punk rock. I really love Katie’s voice as she narrates the piece. She is so excited and really puts some feeling behind every word. Throughout the piece there are a few weird inserts of interview clips, the over all sound of the piece is not very smooth. I definitely learned a few things from listening to Girlpants.
