Soft circuit light-up skirts

It looks like my friend Meredith just officially became Internet Famous:

She made a cool skirt with integrated LEDs that follow the compass direction north.

That thing was cool. If I wore skirts I'd totally wear one like that. Next step would be directional pants. A line of lights down the front, back and side of each leg. I don't know how to do cool stuff like that, or I would do it. But I'd absolutely wear those pants.

This has some great concepts hidden in it. What about Festive Christmas Pants? Red and green blinky lights on them that light up when facing North, and possibly that also play a tinkly Christmas carol? Could be adapted for any holiday or time of year, or any sort of theme or mood. The possibilities is endless.
