Pants

[destinie21]

Is ass crack the new cleavage?
I'm noticing that the "waist" of pants is sitting increasingly lower it's almost impossible to get a pair of bootleg pants that aren't low rise. Also I notice thongs are becoming an accesory instead of an under garment. Being tall it's getting so I can't wear pants at all I refuse to get a bikini wax to wear jeans

Dear Des,
And the low rise pants are always worn with high rise tops by girls with blubber around the middle. It always looks like they're trying to emphasize their least attractive features. Give me overalls and a baseball cap anytime.
Fashionably,
MG

Aww I bet you look cute as a button.
However overalls are not made for the tall girls
I'll just stick to skirts I guess and the occasional well made cargo pants.

To you perhaps. A slight midriff excess, even to the extent of 'love handles' is so much more preferable.
How the hell are you going to keep the babies warm with a six-pack.
Fuck fashion, baby-makeable is intrinsically more attractive.

Personal note: I wouldn't call my childbearing belly blubber though of course per attitudes like MGs and the fashion industry I am forced to wish I didn't have it. Some men actually find it sexy.

Other than that I have no interest in fashion for the masses, Dest. Don't take offense, please, but this and too many of the topics on the AH lately are vapid and inconsequential to authors. Just my frank and strong opinion.

Dear Perdita,
I think you deliberately misconstrued what I said about waistlines. My point was that deliberately calling attention to an anatomical imperfection is a poor choice in clothing. I did not express the "attitude" that said imperfection should not exist.

I agree that female fashion is a poor subject for this otherwise cerebral site. A review of recent subject matter on here would show that vapid and inconsequential topics are entirely out of place.

MG: thanks for the clarification. But I did not 'deliberately' misconstrue you, it was a natural misconstruction.

midriff sensitive, Perdita


p.s. very happy to note Gauche's nearly simultaneous expression.

I haven't taken offence, and I wouldn't yes it mat be vapid but just a passing thought in anycase. BTW I find woman sexy in all forms weight doesn't matter over much as long as it's not excessive enough to cause health prblems. It's the presentation I like and damn if that post pregnancy Buddha isn't sexy as all get out

Inappropriate topics or not, that's a great attitude. You rock, Mrs Dest.

Besides, I kinda figured the AH is exactly that, a place for Authors to Hangout .. Sure, we talk shop, what other group of professionals (or even amateurs) with a common interest doesn't, but I don't think that means every single conversation should be weighty, meaningful and earth-shattering..

I think my brain would explode if that were the case.

Raph, naturally voluble..

 

[Icingsugar]

Raph, I agree. Let's yap fashion

Who cares about buttcracks and lovehandles? I want legs.

What I wanna know is who the demon was that made short skirts fall out of fashion for the morepart of my puberty and up until now. I look back at -88 to -92 (-ish) and I see a forest of my favourite body part (legs, duh) shamelessly exposed. It's only until this summer again that tight ass-deforming jeans finally gave way and let the flaunting of calve, knee and thigh in their natural shape made a comback. And now I'm spoken for, and not supposed to ogle. Thank you god.

I guess fashion also varies depending on where you live, but over here (and by chance everywhere else 've lived those years), there have been too much pants and too few skirts for way too long.

Good years, Iceman .. That's when rock chicks really knew how to dress.

Raph, unashamedly an 80s rock 'n roller.

Ice, got first interrested when rock chicks were no more. Oh well..

 

[Guest]

Ice and Raff, you won me over, you fine wooers, you.

I rarely wear pants, trousers to some, and my long skirts have long slits. I'm not trendy about it, I just like the feel and flow of fabric when I walk.

Also have a new bra that forces me to show cleavage, otherwise I'd wear a sportsbra (yuk).

dressed for herself, Perdita

 

[destinie21]

even if ass crack is the new clevage I'm sytill going to keep my money in grandma's purse.

 

[Icingsugar]

Perdita, how many AVs have you got? Yer confusing me.

There are too occasions when I will wear a skirt: when I watch the Chippendales, and when all my trousers are in the wash...

I like showing off my legs, atleast my calves, 'cause I think they look good, and so do other people. I've been told I have "cute legs". Cute? A puppy is cute. A kitten is cute. A sleeping child is cute. How can legs be cute?
Whatever. I have cute legs.

Unfortunately, they are also fat legs. My thighs are very chubby, so every time I walk around with bare legs, I have to walk like John Wayne or my thighs will rub against each other, and the friction will create burn marks on the inside of my thighs - very painful!

I try to wear pantyhose, to take the worst of the friction away. Did you know that pantyhose-clad legs that rub together make a noise very much like that of a cricket? Very annoying. And very persistent. No matter how noisy the world is around you, that pantyhose-noise goes right through your spine, up to your ears. After walking around a whole day listening to your own legs, you're back to John Wayne.

And after a few times of wearing them, the damned things break! And we're not talking about getting an itsy-bitsy run. We're talking about the friciton burning a whole through your pantyhose, leaving the sensitive skin of the inside of your thighs bare, to rub against the broken nylon stockings... Voilá! Your burn has become twice as effective.

I wear trousers. Anyone who wants to see my legs can come and watch me on the beach.

Cute is good. 'Cute' is often much sexier than 'beautiful'. However, I'm told I have cute feet. That's not very...manly.

Time and place?

Flicka, you made me grin wide. I haven't worn pantyhose since the 80s. Living where it's usually cool enough I wear real tights under skirtt, and sometimes light trousers under a skirt or other frock. We layer our wraps in SF and peel them off and on if the weather changes, which it often does throughout one day or from one neighborhood to another.

You're a goddess, babe, nothing cute about that.

Perdita

 

[Icingsugar]

two hole button
four hole button
shank button?

belly button
duh

/Ice - unbuttoned
