The economy here in San Diego is slumping. Young women all over this sunny beachside community are struggling to get through the day without a proper, decent pair of baggy khaki pants!

Fabric is so expensive that they can barely afford enough to knit together a napkin-sized skirt.

Although I am on vacation, I cannot ignore my humanitarian principles. If not me, then who?

I hereby convene the first meeting of "The San Diego Lady Pants Project" whereby every young woman in need will receive a pair of baggy, formless khaki men's pants.

My brother-in-law says I will be assasinated within the week for my effort, but I can't let let fear stop me.

E-mail me to support the cause.
