PH ladies, chill with the tight, tapered pants

I'm just glad you're still talking to me. :oops: :oops: :oops:
p.s. I don't really have any tevos. (it's just funny to pretend you wear disgusting things, I think - amuses me, anyway.) tevos would be a whole other thread, but we really don't need to go there. I'm not sure if anyone wears them anymore, do they? G**chos, on the other hand, are a relatively new and offensive "fashion" item.
I'm just waiting for someone else to come up with something else ghastly. I'm on the lookout.

You're heading to the gym... who cares? I would be more likely to scoff if you were obviously done-up and heading to the gym...
i guess i was thinking how i always put a skirt over the booty exposing pants and my gym clothes are somewhat make shift... so i might look like i am trying to be haute couture. -

those look pretty snug. like, one might have to wear a thong with them to avoid a visible panty line. not sure I can handle it.

They're fabulous. Truly. As lovely as gauchos.
you could always try the "back of thong showing over waistband of pants with some bumcheek hanging out" look. that'd be hot. with velcro shoes. -

Only if the scrunchy matches the velcro shoes. Or, better yet, the thong. -
Kind of upset they are sold out of this little number:

I'd like to wear it around the neighborhood and see how wide of a berth I get... -
This is just cruel and unusual:

Subject: back to the subject at hand!
attention all::: this going to totally blow your minds... i saw in the last few days... not one, but two fine looking behinds sporting tight, tapered pants. one lady had an average sized ass of perfect proportion... albeit, a bit on the small side. but the winner would be the lady i spotted today with the big, round booty rocking these forementioned pants - no joke, she looked GOOD. i could hardly believe it.. -

in the meantime, I will shamefully admit that I tried on a pair of these bastions of hipsterdom and noted trouble whilst tugging them over my ample, yet flat, behind. yes. they were caught on my calves. after some deft manipulation of spandex-infused denim, I coaxed the little buggers over the "big part" and did a little jump to hoist the waist of the pants to my vaguely middlin area. I couldn't stop, you see. I had to know if, over 20 years after the first craze (of my knowledge), the stupid things still looked awful on me.
guess what? y'all will NEVER believe it ... they DID! my booty looked even FLATTER. and WIDER. and SQUARER. my legs? more MUSCULAR. in a not-so-feminine way. with adult-eyes I could finally analyze the travesty of tapered/pegged skinny jeans on my body and conclude ... I was never meant to wear them!!!
yes, that will be me buying low-rise, boot-leg deadstock on ebay in a year. le sigh. -

One of my favorites lines ever.
And before three kids, I could get away with them, but no more. Everything's a little bit too round, I think. But if anyone knows where to get black jeans that I can actually try on rather than order online, I'm eager for a new source. I wonder if Modest Apparel would make black denim culottes? -
so someone on the street -- two people, actually -- insulted my outfit, loudly, last night.
it was very middle school.
it wasn't any of you, right?
(no gauchos or stovepipes were invloved.) -
wasn't me. I keep waiting for someone to say some shit to me, but I think I look so resolutely angry when I walk around that no one's got the balls.

okay. here's the scene:
corner of underhill and prospect, around, I don't know 10 or so.
i am looking pretty gap-py (coming home from post-work drinking, not clubbing, mind you): grey shirt, white zippy jacket, orange full skirt, and -- here's the trouble, apparently -- stripped rain boots. oh, and, critically, carrying an umbrella, a sign that i had left for work during the morning monsoon.
i am talking to the gf, taking no notice of the two women coming towards us, talking loudly, and hence didn't realize at first that they were talking about me. here is what i tuned in for:
woman 1: "rainboots? is that supposed to be FASHION? Please."
woman 2: "please. that's just STUPID."
it continued, but that's the gist.
commentary: i know rain boots are hipster-ish (although i've always loved them, so their sudden popularity rankles me a little), but IT WAS RAINING when i left the house. hard. -
Bah! Bitches...

I got some nice (men's) black jeans at Urban Outfitters a few months ago. I know- the place is overpriced and lame. But I liked the jeans... :oops: :? -

Did you respond with a witty retort? Or beat the crap out of her? Or, better, ignore her? And how dare you wear those boots for their intended purpose? Who the hell do you think you are?
And thanks for the tip, Carnivore. -

try Target. they got some black jeans for cheap
i think they're Levis, or Wranglers...
but they're priced something crazy like $15
i just bought a pair of blue jeans for $12 there... -
Thanks! I will. And maybe I'll buy a pair of stripey rainboots to wear in solidarity with sweet tea. Folks concerned about the weather gotta stick together.

we can have a little dry-footed posse.
and maybe you can help my think of witty comebacks. the best i could manage was a loud "good evening". it was only after they rounded the corner that i thought of everything wrong with their cheap stretch jeans and shellacked hair.... -
A resounding "f**king a**holes" probably isn't so witty, but certainly apt. I never think of witty retorts until it's too late, to tell you the truth. Although if you ever see them again, you can mock them for anything that strikes your fancy. That will probably piss them off and confuse them, since they probably do it so much they won't remember you.

FASHION CRISIS
okay. so I'm going to this mineFIELD and Haujobb show on Saturday night (which you're all welcome to attend should you feel some bizarro industrial urge) and I realize that the only vaguely gothy thing I own in the pant varietal is STRETCHY VELOUR PALAZZO PANTS from like 1995.
not only do I have no clue what to wear, I've found something potentially scarring in my closet. someone please help.
oh, and I don't really want to wear a skirt and was hoping to look cooler than just wearing jeans. -

The solution to your problem appears upthread, and the name of said solution is ZUBAZ. Either that or those khaki things Gap kept talking about a few years ago...

thanks. I just remembered I have some black z. cav's. I'm set. -
z cavs? Refresh my memory...did they come with their own belt or something?
-
ZCavaricci brand pants were known as the "guido" style to us when we were teens. We were wearing Girbauds and certain kids from certain neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens, and Staten Island were wearing Cavariccis. They were horribly tapered, pleated, and came with a metal tipped belt. Hilarious, really. If you check out the ZC site now, you can see why we looked poked fun at those clothes then.
Howdy, Stranger!
