Welcome to the Jungle



Am I the only one who has "Welcome to the Jungle" immediately play through my head whenever I see someone wearing skin tight tapered jeans? I hate this fashion that has come back because I think it looks nasty. I never thought Axl Rose (Guns-n-Roses)looked hot in his tight pants, but at least he could get away with the look. In order to pull off this fashion one must live on a diet of drugs, sex, and cigarette, or be a walking stick figure. I only know two people who can pull the latter off, my sister and her husband, because they are in fact walking stick figures. They don't look scary in their tight pants, they just look like they need to eat a good meal.



However, most of the population doesn't look this way. Men just should not wear tight pants. There are so many reasons why, but I don't go into those. It just looks wrong. It's not flattering. Yeech! The same goes for women. All I think of when I see someone sporting this fashion is "Wow. His butt is big." or "She's got some thighs goin' on there." It's like walking around with big arrows pointing at your butt and thighs. No one, unless they are in the above mentioned select few stick figure category, has a butt or legs that lets them get away with it. But that doesn't stop people from wearing the pants. Oh how I wish there was a fashion card, like an ID card to buy alcohol or cigarettes, everyone had to carry and show when making clothing purchases. "Sorry Ma'am, you say you are a size 6, but your card shows you are an 8. These pants are only made for someone who is a 6. For the good of humanity you'll have to put the clothes down." Wouldn't we all be spared some horrific sights if this policy was enforced? I wish!

So let me make myself clear, in case I haven't. I hate the tight tapered pants look. It's dorky and just plain nasty. If you wear pants like that around me, I will mock you and think about how big your butt looks.
