@cassah: Not all of them do. Both the tights and the underwear I have don't have the crotch gaps...because I can't handle that shit. I'm not peeing through a hole. Even dudes don't use the hole in their underwear... #trends
I can't decide if this trend is convenient, in that it does the body-shaping work for me, or if this means it's finally the season where I have to get serious about fitting in clothes again. If it's the latter, I HATE YOU STUPID NEW TRENDS!
I was totally fine with blousey tops and empire-waist dresses, which camouflage all manner of "sins" (by which I mean "my body"), but now you're trying to tell me that fitted clothes--fitted to the point of being constricting--are the next big thing??
I wish fashion would get off my Goddamn lawn. #trends
OK, the "more about trends" box to the right of the post inadvertently has two posts that make it so the Family Guy is wearing womans jeans, and I find it really funny. #trends
It appears that I am WAY ahead of this trend. And, luckily, it happens to be Saturday, giving me the perfect opportunity to break out either of my two ragged and abused pairs of Spanx and get my groove on. Score! #trends
Spanx as outerwear has been the. coolest. thing. at my school for probably the last three years. Now that it's mainstream, we are going to have to find something else to wear with our flannel and shiny American Apparel undergarments! Drat! #trends
I went to Paris last weekend and every 3rd person was wearing shorts over (always black) tights. I'm not even kidding. Even formally. It scared me. #trends
I just got back from a trip to DSW. For the last 7 years, I have been trying to find a pair of boots I like. Every year, I search far and wide for a pair of boots that don't look ridiculous on me. You see, I have large feet and tiny calves which always results in 4 inches of extra boot around the calves. I do this search every year and then I find nothing and I walk away being like "ugh, boots are stupid anyway and girls who wear them are dumb".
The next day I see women wearing boots and I want them again. #trends
@Jetgirly: I was just going to say the same thing. Get thee to a cobbler. (And probably spend a bit on the boots themselves so that they last - because you're going to spend an extra $50+ or so taking in the calves.) #trends
@Zombies make the heart grow fonder: I have the opposite problem, thick calves. I find boots that I like, but I can only zip them half way. I think a cobbler could help me too, but I'm always afraid that it won't actually work and then I'm stuck with stretched-out boots that I can't return but that I also can't fit in. #trends
@PixieSparkle: I'm exactly the same way- every year there are adorable ones and I'm either left staring at the pathetic section of "wide shaft" boots or praying for a flattering, cute ankle boot.
Never happens. I've about given up on leather and have settled for stretchy fabrics (which fall down and give me that oh-so-stylish baggy ankle boot look anyway) #trends
@SparklyTempest: I am so with you. I don't even have big legs! I think it's because I was a ballet dancer for so long that my calves are just really muscular, but they aren't big. I'm happy with them actually. So, WTF! Why don't they make boots so girls with muscles in their legs can wear them!!!???
@PixieSparkle: I have the same problem. I found that in cheaper stores like Payless, they have some sort of fake leather abomination that's stretchy. #trends
@BytheSea: Would you believe that I live somewhere that there is no Payless?? Shopping is a desolate wasteland and I thank heavens for the internet. Which is too bad - I'd love to spend $60, rather than 160 POUNDS like at Duo! #trends
Why assume that hipsters aren't hitting the gym? They probably are, just balancing it out with extra vegan protein shakes, so that they are healthy and have some "meat on their bones", as a 1950's grandma would say. People can be be "pudgy" (to use another grandma-ism) and still be hitting the gym.

It's wonderful to cuddle on, sleep on, poke at, tickle...
He's been losing weight. I'm worried.
