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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Muffin tops are when your waist bulges out over the top of your jeans.

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.

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.

If I only had a brain...

Whale tail?

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

Whale tail?

When someone wears low-rise pants with a thong, and you can see the top of the thong....
