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.

Nope, I have NO interest in casting my gaze on any woman’s behind. I do understand the male mind though.

...in other words, I had no idea if you were M or F, based solely on that one comment (You need an internet interruption after that picture).

Don't worry about it... I cannot imagine even a ‘male’ considers the first a glamor shot.. but one never knows.. Only when the catalog of women's backside appeared, figured I had to let you know, I had no interest in any images.

Perhaps there should be a small notation besides a freeper’s screen name to indicate M or F.

And in this crazy day and age we’re living, a ‘T’! Lol!

At least yoga pants are better than lower back tattoos.

His plan is working perfectly. Those girls don’t suspect a thing!


LOL! He should next write a letter condemning low cut blouses.

What no one will mention: it is s obvious that the author of the letter is a gay man.

It’s all a cleaver ruse, he actually loves yoga pants and was just trying to provoke all the women in town to wear them in a protest parade. He’s going to be in yoga pants heaven real soon.

There are three things that never lie; children, people drinking Tequila and yoga pants.
