steam them with you in the shower....maybe find something else warm to press them with? how badly wrinkled are they?
you can buy some crazy wrinkle-free spray at travel shops...

Shower may help if you get the bathroom super steamy and fold them just so but it ain't gonna be perfect.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:30 (twenty-two years ago)

travel shops i got no time for travel shops!! should i actually take the fuckers into the shower with me? heat stones on the stove and make a crude iron!? ARGHHh

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Put them under you mattress and get an elephant to lie down for a bit.

― penelope_11, Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:33 (twenty-two years ago)

don't take the pants in the shower with you. that's bad. but REALLY hot water, closed bathroom doors...make it all steamy. hang the pants on the towel rack or something. you might have to pull the fabric with your hands once it's been exposed to lots of steam to kind of pull the wrinkles out...that might work. it won't be perfect. m. white is right.

you=your

― penelope_11, Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:33 (twenty-two years ago)

ok i will try that!! thanks kelsey and michael!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:34 (twenty-two years ago)

(i didn't think i'd actually have to take them into the shower with me, but who knows?!!)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Is the problem just that you don't have an iron?

― Broheems (diamond), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

The steam will help some, but don't expect miracles.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I take it I won't be clearing a space on my mantlepiece then.

― penelope_11, Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I once made a makeshift iron out of mildly heating a medium-sized frying pan on the stove, then using the underside of that to press the pants. Be sure the pan isn't too hot, and spray or sprinkle some water on the pants first.

― Broheems (diamond), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

And make sure the pan is bloody clean!

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Am I even in the running? An outside chance?

― penelope_11, Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm fucked

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:49 (twenty-two years ago)

What's the rush s1ocki?

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

The gorilla ate him for having wrinkled trousers.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 23 April 2004 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I vaguely remember you having this same problem a few months ago?

― |OBEY|EYE|BO| (deangulberry), Friday, 23 April 2004 17:10 (twenty-two years ago)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, so you didn't even press the pants?

― mcd (mcd), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

i tried shower-steaming them and pulling them and everything but no dice. they are VERY wrinkled.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 23 April 2004 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Why the lack of iron, s1ocki?

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

That is awesome that you tried.

― mcd (mcd), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

What are these 'irons' that you speak of?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't be ironic.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Basic irons are fairly inexpensive, you should get one. And you can make grilled cheese sandwiches with them.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 23 April 2004 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah i don't have an iron because i rarely have cause to use one, and when i do have cause (as you can see) i probably wouldn't use one anyway!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 23 April 2004 20:35 (twenty-two years ago)

do you not own a single shirt that isn't a t-shirt?

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 23 April 2004 20:50 (twenty-two years ago)

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 23 April 2004 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Do a Google search on "wrinkle-free pants" and "spork".

― Aimless (Aimless), Saturday, 24 April 2004 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Look up your local theatre company in the phone book. Theatre companies have costume departments, and costume departments have these totally amazing portable steam press machines. Volunteer to be an usher and/or ticket seller. Then, take all of your wrinkled clothes and ask to use the steam press. Also, borrow fabulous period costumes and wigs. As a ticket seller/usher you will not be able to arrive at your nocturnal destination until after the show - 10 pm? - but you will be sober, and wearing a fabulous ensemble. DO NOT, however, accept invitations to "hang out" with the cast, as your fabulousness will be totally ignored.
otherwise, buy new trousers.
