For the skinny area, it depends on the program that represents the
skinny area. If it's created as a roadblock then the deckers
attempts to "squeeze" through might be represented by "stretching"
the persona.

For the sweat pants, the decker could say that his armor program
appears as sweat pants.

In the way of special effects, like stretching, sound effects,
costume changes, etc, I would let characters create personas with
those options, as long as they have no actual affect other than
roleplaying.
