You've seen them...
I know you have...
Everywhere...
In stores, in your neighborhood, on the street, maybe even in your own home...
***
They are sweet things really.
Often kind, respectful, and loving...
But oh PUHLEEEEZE... someone buy them a full length mirror...
PLEASE!

Don't know who I'm talking about yet?

I'm talking about those lovely girls out there, that have that "something extra" around the middle that wear entirely TOO tight of a shirt, and then pair that miniscule shirt with
HIP HUGGER jeans...
Muffin top does not begin to describe some of these girls.
What gets me? They walk around with their arms folded around their middle the entire day, to cover up their obvious "spillage".
It is just sad.
Don't get me wrong... I'm not putting down their weight... Lord knows I live in a HUGE glass house when it comes to that...
I'm more upset at the Mama's and friends that don't say something to those poor girls...
The shirt SHOWS EVERYTHING... and it looks so awful!
***
I'm a big girl...
I don't wear sleeveless or tight clothing FOR A REASON!
I also don't/can't tuck anything in... it's just a travesty if I even entertain that kind of thing...
I may even get arrested... LOL!
***
But those voluptuous girls need to be taught that they aren't a size 2, 4, 8 or even 10's.
After that... unless one is 6 feet tall... hip huggers and tight tops just aren't appropriate!!!
As I was walking past a couple of ladies wearing such clothing, I overheard a few young men make nasty comments about them as they walked past...
It broke my heart...
The boys should have had their butts kicked... but the girls got even more self conscious.
They wrapped both their arms around their mid sections, hiding the bulge, and making it even more obvious... Their Mama's and friends should be slapped...
***
Some girls, I know this because their Mama's tell me... just refuse to buy clothes that are a little looser. They call themselves "curvy"... and in the mean time, their entire belly is overlapped over their jeans and sways to and fro...
It's only curvy if that stuff is tamed and tightly bound... and clothed with something that doesn't accentuate every stretch mark and bulge and the indentation of the belly button.
Yikes...
Curvy... if that's curvy... then I must be a freaking loop de loop or a corkscrew!

On to boys clothes...
I was shopping for my boys today.. and call me old school... but I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the boys and girls section today...
The colors, and skinny jeans, and feminine silhouettes had me baffled!
I just want my men to look like men.
I'm not into dressing my sons androgenously.
When you look at my boys... I want people to see... BOY!
***
From all the V necks out there now... and in pink, purple, peach and such...
Does everyone think that boys WANT to look like Simon Cowell in AI?
Because he looks wimpy... and just not attractive in his too tight v necked "athletic" cut shirts...
Just my opinion...
And really?
The name "Athletic" cut, really means... "Too tight".
I know... I know... lots of boys wear pink and yellow and such... fine...
but in a polo shirt or long sleeve shirt... not some v necked, slinky fabric that "clings" to them...
Yuck!!!
Boys clothes have gotten a little too
"Drag Queen" for me...
What next? Boas and heels as men's wear across the board?
Ugh...
I'd better do check my calendar and see what day it is...
It might just be my time for my least favorite visitor...
Call me a taxi...
I'm outta here...
I couldn't have said it better. You forgot little girl clothing with words on their ass. Hello! I'm not buying anything with words on the ass let alone for my 10 year or 8 year old!
ReplyDeleteWhen a girls pants are too tight and their skin is hanging over they call that a muffin top...lol It really does look like one. I just find it hard to believe that someone doesn't tell them that they look like that when they walk out the door.
ReplyDeleteI could not POSSIBLY agree with you more!!! I have a 15 year old niece who is stuck in this group. I've tried to tell her, over and over, in the nicest way possible, that the look is not very attractive, but it hasn't sunk in yet.
ReplyDeleteAnd, as far as the boys thing...I literally, just this morning, heard someone on the radio talking about how the newest thing this season for men are plunging, low-cut, V-neck shirts. WTF?! Um...hello...are the 70s back? Yikes!
I can always depend on you for a good laugh. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAmen, sister. Muffin Toppers, Unite!
ReplyDeleteLOL - I'm a big girl and you wouldn't catch me dead like that. When I lost a bunch of weight a few years ago - sure, but now that I gained it back via 2 pregnancies and an Italian husband who loves to cook in culinary school making fattening foods... well... yeah - that went out the window REAL fast.
ReplyDeleteWhat pisses me off about boys clothes is the LACK of them. I'm so tired of going to the store and not finding something cute or what I'm looking for. Little boys want to be cute too (and not look like girls) ... ugh!
Hey! It's not always the mother's or friends' failure. I am, ummm... blessed (?) with one of those 'curvy' daughters who simply refuses to see herself as anything other than sexy hot. I have even gone so far as to sneak a picture of her with her top off to show her how unattractive all that stuff is hanging over the too-tight pants. No use. I refuse to buy ill-fitting clothing, but she has a job and friends to borrow from so I have little say in her wardrobe choices. It hurts my heart to see it, but she's 18 now and if I thought I had no control before... HA! LOL! I guess the best I can hope for is that she'll get the hots for some guy and decide to get in shape to get his attention. If not, she's in for a very hard -- not to mention fashionally challenged -- future.
