Lack Of Eye Candy At Janney

[Anonymous]

[quote=Anonymous]OK, this is definitely not an education question, but it does have to do with a DC public school. Fellow Janney moms, is it me or is the Janney community really lacking in the Janney dad eye candy category? Love the school, but as a sahm I wish there was more to look at. I know many Janney families got started making or adopting babies late, but even so... [/quote]

Your spouse doesn't qualify?

Which a while back were all fine and good if they were supposed to be part of some specific sports regimen (but since then it's turned out that they aren't actually all that good for your feet in sports) - but they were always pretty odd as something one might consider for everyday wear (about as weird as wearing aquasox for everyday wear). But then again DC is full of people wearing things just for the sake of wearing them, like yoga pants - or, as soon as the temps drop below 50 degrees, donning the North Face extreme technical gear as though you were about to scale K2 when all you're doing is going to the office. Or, the Range Rovers that spend 95% of their lives in suburbia and have never seen an unpaved road in their entire lives.

My husband also used to wear the FiveFinger shoes a few years ago because of the supposed benefits to running nearly barefoot (he does triathlons, Crossfit, etc.), and I was also mortified. Luckily, he's since tossed them due to shin splints or something.

Here's the newest fad--fat-soled shoes. Maybe the hotties at Janney will show up in these next:

Barefoot runners, your time is up. Fat-soled running shoes are the next thing.

Anyone see the mom today with the ridiculously tight top?

The new crop of moms are younger, more stylish than the peri menopausal moms of six years ago.

I'm just imagining the typical Janney parents as Kath and Dave from Portlandia.

Thanks for reminding me that I've been reading DCUM for over ten years. I hate myself for that.

Seriously, this thread was how I first heard about DCUM. My then Janney kids are now graduating college. Let this one go.

Ooooh I never knew about this! Current Janney parent here: There are some good looking moms and 1-2 attractive dads. But on the whole it's a profoundly broken looking group of men.

And what about the women and their unplucked chin hairs?
