I find that difficult to believe, since even the models had muffin tops in some of the pairs....
What is "muffin tops", please? Should I be fur it or agin it?

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I'm enchanted by the term 'muffin tops', but not so actually about the actuality of them.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Exactly! I mean, I can get that look from Old Navy for $25.
Word. I am SO TIRED of the muffin top and the uber-clingy and tight shirts that allow me to tell if a girl has an innie or an outie. It just looks sloppy. I don't care if you're obviously not caring - if you're doing laundry or whatever, but these girls are out on the town like that. Grumble.
Also, the rain can stop and those kids can get offa my lawn.

If I only had a brain...
I have a muffin top. *is sad*
Muffin tops are when your waist bulges out over the top of your jeans.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Which is worse, a muffin top or a whale tail?
Worst of all is the woman we saw riding on the back of a motorcyle - her miniskirt was blowing straight up, leaving us with a great view of ass and thong....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a sort of muffin top, since my obliques loom over my iliac crest. But it's only there, and I don't cinch below them--when my jeans rest on my hips it's pretty clear it's not a compression issue.

More precisely, it's when you're wearing low-rise jeans cinched up and a cropped shirt and there's a bulge out over your jeans. Like so. That's a fairly tame example.

Here's the page that took me to the expensive jeans. I suppose they're providing a service, because a lot of people get style cues from celebrities, but don't necessarily know what to do next.
Except, if you can afford a $300 camisole, you shouldn't need the help. Get a god-damned personal shopper.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
What gets me is that muffin-top seems to be a "look" right now. I mean, on me, I carry most of my extra weight around my stomach (grumblegrumble), but at least I'm wearing jeans that fit. On a size 2 model? There's really no excuse.

It's even been a look for a while. I really don't get it.
