Wait, her pants aren't that low???

[Gurndigarn]

Not sucky, but definitely one that made me pause.

I was heading through one of the places I frequent for work. It had a few small rides for the kids, all of them being fenced off so that young kids don't accidentally get splatted and parents can look on as junior enjoys himself.

Well, Young Mom is leaning on the fence... and it looked like she had a butt crack that went up her lower back.

Well, I'm headed past her anyway, so I get a closer look. Turns out that it was a narrow black tattoo running straight up her lower back. Hopefully there's more to the design that I didn't see, but wow, lady, didn't you think before chosing that design? And please, for the sake of the rest of us, could you put on more modest clothes? Pretty please?

You know that style where the guys wear their pants down below their boxers, sometimes belted at the butt? One summer I had a guy in wearing that same style, very low pants. Problem is, he wasn't wearing boxers. Or any type of underwear. In fact, I didn't even want to think about what was holding up his pants.

I second that brain bleach...

I had a teenage girl in once wearing a cropped t-shirt and so-low-cut-you-hafta-wax jeans. She was with her mother and little brother. My mother would never have let me out of the house in those. (Actually, I wouldn't let me out of the house in those haha.)

Ok, I used to have a pair of low pants, and they fit like a dream (my bum is nice enough as is, but these things were like a second skin and definitely did wonders) but I always made sure that nothing was peeking over... no dunlaps disease. Once the trunk got too big I let em go. Sometimes you just gotta accept that you can no longer wear those types of things.

Agreed. The 'muffin effect' is only attractive on actual muffins.

My mum had an operation on her lower back recently and the scar runs straight up from her bum crack.. so yes it looks like she has a ridiculous shaped arse. She doesn't wear low cut jeans (bit old for that now) but when she bends over it sometimes shows..my does she get some very odd looks!

mmmm...muffins...

I just don't get the whole "jeans cut so low you need a brazillian just to wear them" thing. That cannot be comfortable. Jeans look good a few inches below your waist, but geez, at some point they stop looking like low jeans and start looking like high socks.

I also don't get the whole "baggy trousers worn so low they look like you are wearing a poopy diaper" look. Since when did dragging a soggy load around become sexy? Dude. I'm sorry. A grown man dressing like Charlie Brown took a dump in his drawers? That's cool?

I guess I'm just too uncool to get it.

On the other hand, a guy wearing a Charlie Brown shirt is fucking awesome! I got a guy in my Web Design class and he's got the coolest shirt. It's the yellow shirt with black zigzag that Charlie Brown wears.

hehe...OT...I was watching Funniest Home Videos one night and there was one with a little boy wearing the Charlie Brown yellow and black shirt. He was at most a year and a half, probably younger, and was still mostly bald, and what little hair he had was so blonde you could barely see it. They took some kind of dark paint and drew Charlie Brown's swirl of hair on the back of his head and filmed it. It was so cute. (and ya ever notice you can't just call him Charlie?)

Just like you can't call Samuel L. Jackson "Sam," "Sammy," or "Mr. Jackson." It just doesn't fit otherwise.

I am SO glad I just finished dinner, otherwise I would be spending the evening cleaning off the keyboard & screen on my laptop. I have often wondered what is so cool with that look.

I am happy to be too uncool to get it.

I think guys that wear those super baggy pants at their knees look like they have "midget legs". Their legs look short and stumpy.

I had a supervisor that used to wear a shirt just like that! We bought him a football for Christmas one year.

And now the flip-side to the "jeans so low and baggy it looks like you shat your undies for a week without changing them" look--the "tight pants pulled up to your nipples" look.

This is the look favored by one of our department supervisors. I swear if he were a black man, he'd look like Steve Urkel all grown up.

His summertime version of this look is even more hilarious--jean shorts that would probably come down to his knees if he wore them around his waist like he's supposed to, but because he wears them so high they look more like neatly hemmed Daisy Dukes. He completes the look with white socks pulled up to his knees and black sneakers, and tucks his shirt into his shorts. Ooh la la!
