Except those of us with really short legs and really short waists. They are a godsend to us since they don't come up to our belly buttons.
Regular low-rise, yes. Ultra low-rise where you have to have a bikini wax to wear it in public? No.
I accidentally have wound up (online ordering of used things) with pants where the rise was low enough that I couldn't wear my ultra low rise panties without them showing.
Those would be the kind of pants in question.
Ooo, Teppy, you may have given me a reason to go back into Target. I am not a fan of things that bring attention to my tits, but that shirt may work.
It's flattering and is totally comfortable. Machine-washable, and $16. LOVE.

Exactly. Low-rise is a godsend to me, because of the whole no-torso thing. Ultra low rise of the kind Plei speaks of is what draws my hate.
But her post made me giggle, since, superficially, I *am* wearing that kind of shirt, and it *does* go over my hips.
You just gotta be difficult, dont'cha?? (Hee!)
I think low-rise pants have gotten lower over the past couple of years. The last time I bought jeans, I tried on what I thought were the exact same style I was replacing, but they only came about halfway up my hips so I ended up going with what was then being called "natural waist" or something.
Fatty McMe likes to have higher jeans for the pseudo-girdle effect it gives me. I may have muffin top, but at least I don't have a camel toe.

Yeah. I finally had to replace my one pair of jeans (from 1997!), and I had to find them in the men's department. Low-rise bootcut Levi's, baybee, for $16.99 at Target. I love Target.
BECAUSE WE BROKE UP.
Best part? NEVER DATED. I didn't even get *sex* out of this trainwreck of a man boy.
Also, word on the ultra-low-rise. Though I must say I like the regular low-rise, cause it means my pants don't cut me funny round the abdomen. I'm a fan of sitting comfortably.
Not familiar with the Chinese sandals.
I'm a little weirded out by the "shave off your eyebrows and draw on a tiny little line" thing I see on teenagers around here. It looks cool if you are doing a whole retro thing and have the proper hair, but by itself it can give an odd impression. Quite popular with the Hispanic kids, though.

One of our lunch ladies did that. I was afraid of her.
She was an odd, tense, woman. Her
daughter
was a haemophiliac. (I suppose that's enough to make you tense)
