Jeans

I am a woman and I came across this site. I must say that I was very upset by what the summary of the site said about women's jeans. It said that women have an option in jeans, but that is absolutely not true! I have been searching everywhere on the internet and in stores to find a somewhat baggy pair of women's jeans and still haven't been successful. I think it was wrong for whomever said that to assume that women have a choice in jeans. Although I do understand men being upset about their jeans, but trust me, women have the exact same problem, except we can't get a pair of jeans that are not skin tight and show every curve that you can possibly show.

You know, it's like one thing when people complain mildly about not easily being able to find clothes that fit properly, cause, you know, join the fucking club, whatever -- but I get like genuinely annoyed when people go on in some kind of sobby-ass way about how the whole world is unfair and it's all so fucking unconstitutional that they can't find any jeans they approve of. The western world is like one giant teeming pile of trillions of dollars of consumer economics and fashion bullshit; you can buy a fucking furry outfit if that's really what you're looking for; and so ATTENTION EVERYONE: you can find jeans that fit you. There have got to be about six fucking billion pairs of jeans in North America, and unless you have some sort of weird medical implants that turn your ass into a cone shape, there's a pair in your town that fits you. Just chill the fuck out. I mean, you can't find baggy jeans for women? There are like 400 pound women walking around wearing jeans, aren't there? There are like whole segments of the jean industry devoted to pleat-crotched elastic-waist unsexy jeans for suburban mothers, aren't there? So what you're really saying is this: boo hoo I can't find jeans that fit me and yet simultaneously make my lower body look as fashionable as it would look if I could fit into the jeans everyone else wears. Which is a perfectly fine thing to complain about, but let's not go pretending there's some kind of fucking phallocentric military-industrial conspiracy trying to deprive people of jeans they can even fit into. I mean, fuck, do you know what most people on Earth wear? They wear whatever the hell fits reasonably well. They don't spent huge portions of their lives trembling and raving about how they can't squeeze themselves into shit that makes them look like models -- they just throw on some loose khaki pants and get the fuck on with it.

Okay sorry.

There were some lesbians in my local tonight who were definitely expressing their options in jeans.

I only have one pair of jeans, they cost $30. Nabisco, while you're in this mood can you go to the Josie and the pussycats thread?

oh come on. the only jeans lesbian wear are their denim jackets.

Costco seems to have lots of baggy jeans.

Also, Nitsuh, wow!

You're like me on the pizza thread.

I am a throwback. Look up 'old school' in the dictionary and you'll see a blank square where my photo should be, except that nobody succeeded in locating one that was suitable for public display. I wear Levi's shrink-to-fit, button-fly jeans and nothing but.

This means I shall soon be under a taxidermist's knife, in anticipation of my own personal diorama in the Natural History Museum.

However, they fit me fine. My manhood is not discommoded.

Yeah, I like XXs too. They are my favorites (esp. the 1944-47 period, in terms of vintage clothing).

Being square's okay.

Also I find that on the ILX jeans threads that people don't know where or how to shop for clothes, it's really funny!

The button fly is the greatest clothes invention ever.

Denim is the infantile uniform of a nation in which entertainment frequently features childlike adults ("Seinfeld," "Two and a Half Men") and cartoons for adults ("King of the Hill"). Seventy-five percent of American "gamers" -- people who play video games -- are older than 18 and nevertheless are allowed to vote. In their undifferentiated dress, children and their childish parents become undifferentiated audiences for juvenilized movies (the six -- so far -- "Batman" adventures and "Indiana Jones and the Credit-Default Swaps," coming soon to a cineplex near you). Denim is the clerical vestment for the priesthood of all believers in democracy's catechism of leveling -- thou shalt not dress better than society's most slovenly. To do so would be to commit the sin of lookism -- of believing that appearance matters. That heresy leads to denying the universal appropriateness of everything, and then to the elitist assertion that there is good and bad taste.

undifferentiated?? take heart, george will - people are more likely to be snobby and elitist about denim than they are about a suit!

in re george will article upthread

This is not complicated. For men, sartorial good taste can be reduced to one rule: If Fred Astaire would not have worn it, don't wear it. For women, substitute Grace Kelly.
