Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Going back to Go Fug Yourself, I find them amusing, but there is one thing they snark on that I don't get. When did pants with the waistband at the natural waist become "high-waisted"? And when did that become a bad thing? They snarked on some actress and said something to the effect of "if the zipper on your pants is longer than a man's penis, they're high waisted, and you should wear them" WTF?

Capris I don't wear, as they tend to look bad on women with short, curvy legs(ok, pudgy legs) like me.

There were snarking on the eminently snarkworthy Chloe Sevigny, and she was wearing high-waisted 70's hiphuggers that were pretty heinous.

Man, Chloe S. just bugs the shit out of me.

Sheryl, I'm with you on that. They were bagging on Chloe Sevigny, and I was just as baffled as you.

I have been told I look good in capris, and I do not have long legs. Or slim ones, for that matter.

What is even happening?

(When were "camel toes" as a fashion sin invented? I don't think anybody cared in the 1970s.)
I only became acquainted with the term within the last few years. However, I remember in the late 70s or early 80s, my best friend's mother yelled at bf's little sister, because her designer jeans were too tight, and it was the camel toe effect the mom specifically pointed out.
Other issue? capri pants and boots. If it's warm enough for capris, you don't need boots.
World of yes.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Some penises are longer than others. IJS.

Still, Chloe S. drives me bugfuck.

Pertaining to the cameltoe discussion

ARGH! My eyes!

Still, Chloe S's "high-waisted" jeans came to just below her navel. That's not high-waisted in my book.

(She did need to wash her hair and stop scowling, though)
