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.

I have a muffin top. *is sad*

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....

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.

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.

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.

I know she's in shape, so yeah.

I wish I were big.

You're still big, bon. It's the pictures that got smaller.
