Too Much is Never Enough
Its not enough that I owe Bloomingdale's my first born child. No, the addiction continues and I have to feed the beast. So, I'm wandering through the sale racks getting some "fresh air" on my lunch break and whoah, Chip & Pepper in my size. Cool, I'll scan 'em.
$66. ($198 retail, for those of you who wouldn't ever DREAM of spending $66 on jeans.)
Damn, I'm tryin' these on.
So I get to the dressing room. Throw on the jeans.
These jeans are so low waisted the pockets are on the backs of my thighs.
No, I'm not kidding.
I'm serious.
And no, my ass is in proportion with the jeans. This is how they're supposed to fit.
I'm scared.
I mean, these jeans are borderline offensive, and they fit perfectly. The rise on them is about 3 inches, maybe. I mean, that's really low waisted. And, the fact that only one pair is on the sale rack tells me that they sold out of the other sizes. Women all over are wearing these vaguely offensive pants. And, to add to my experience, I did the unthinkable: the sitting test. Wow. As much as I'm in love with my own ass, that's not a view that anyone wants to see.
So yeah, I put those pants back.
I really hope Alexander McQueen is crying right now, because this whole low waisted revolution is his fault. All of you who can't find a pair of pants cut like a pair of pants, and don't have perfectly flat abs to match, you can send your hate mail to him. I understand he was doing something new. And on 5'9" models weighing about 102lbs, the pants were actually intersting. "Bumsters" is what they were orignally nicknamed since they were so low. Some of the pants even had cut outs on the sides, which Gucci also did, in case you ever saw those and were wondering where that brilliant idea came from. But, the women who wore the mall version of those pants were never the women you wanted to see in those pants. So, yeah, send that hate mail over to Tom Ford. Thankfully, I haven't seen those in about 4 years so I don't think that trend will return.
Anyways, those pants took me back about 4 years, and I wanted to share my journey with you. Not that I don't own jeans that low, they just don't have pockets on my thighs.
