Why, oh why, did I listen to Julie when she said that we must all go to the Gap and try on pants called Long and Lean?
But, lemming that I am, I did.
I dragged Janna and Jonah with me to the Gap this morning and tried the jeans on. Waist? Too big. Huge gap. Hanging. Thighs? Too tight. Camelfoot occurred. Rise? Too short. My underpants were sticking out the back like I was some minivan driving rap star. Length? Well, let's just say that the sales people were giving me the hairy eyeball as I wore them out into the store to get a different pair of pants to try on.
See, this, in a nutshell is what's wrong with me...Janna told me today (in maybe the nicest thing that anyone has said to me all day all year ever) that she thinks I have a body image problem because I think I'm fat. No! I have a body image problem because I think that I should be trying on pants called Long and Lean! It's the same body image problem that leads me to try on pastel pink empire waist spaghetti strap sundresses at Ann Taylor.
Now, who wants to sell me a pair of jeans called Short and Squat?
Posted by volfie at May 22, 2003 03:24 PMOk, I just had to demo the concept of 'camelfoot'. Apparently some men do not know that one. I actually tried on low rise jeans the other day and they're not that bad, I just have to find the right pair. It was not the disaster I expected.

Posted by: delegatrix on May 22, 2003 11:38 PMLow rise is fine, because it offers the illusion that we actually have some space between the bottom of our breasts and the top of our waists. But long and lean is Not For Us.
