Here's something I don't understand: sagging.
Isn't the idea, generally, behind "being dressed" that one has clothes covering one's underthings? And if one has to, say, grasp at one's trousers when running, else find said trousers at one's ankles, isn't that, kinda like, not really convenient?
And then there's sagging, part two: when a gal sits and exposes fancy strappy underthings (aka whale tail) this is not desirable. Trust me here, I've been on the observing and being observed side of this one. It's just many kinds of not good. --So, do we have (yet another) gender inequity? --or, is sagging kinda' like the anti-plumber butt, therefore not the same thing at all?
I dunno. Just throwing a random musing/cultural observation/sign of the times piece out there...

I am always amazed from pictures taken during the depression of people in bread lines waiting for food and a good portion of the men are in suits and ties.
Fortunately, we have Julie Bennett and Stowe to improve our fashion standards downtown in the near future. Its going to be the most anticipated fashion event downtown this year and will hopefully address many of your fashion concerns you raise.
I can't wait to see the ad campaign. |

When Madonna started wearing her underwear on the outside she was buff and perky. While this look worked on her it definately loses its appeal when the wearer is middle-aged and morbidly obese |

The whale tail is gross... what's even worse is the full on butt crack. BUT... I do have to say that it's very hard to keep these 'low rider' jeans in place. I have a pair that are horribble and I'm always pulling them up... and yes I can hear my mom now... "Wear a belt"...
