Hipster jeans and g-strings go out of fashion

[Fenris]

That bare belly is no longer hip
July 12, 2004

THE belly and g-string baring combination of hipster jeans and cut-off top has had its day.

"When it first became popular four or five years ago, everything was a bit looser. But then it has all become cropped and tighter and it's gone from being cool to overtly sexy and a turn-off," he said.

The look turned a bad corner when it was worn by the likes of pop star Christina Aguilera, often at the top of the worst-dressed lists, he said.

"Last summer we reached saturation point when you would walk into various stores and there would be 12-year-olds with their mothers buying the look, along with their mothers.

[trumad]

5. Stellaaaaaa!@!!!!!!!!! Stella!!!!!!!!! Say it ain't true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mstrsplinter326]

2. Bull.

That picture is HOT.

Hot will never go out of fashion.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. i agree

[Worst Username Ever]

41. I agree

That picture is smokin.

[curse10]

4. I hope so

it's trashy

[GOPisEvil]

6. I'm with you. I don't mind a little midriff...but showing your drawers is

downright tacky.

[Fenris]

7. Tacky, unless it's in a private setting

Then I'm all for it. :D

[curse10]

9. oh yes

underwear viewing is a-ok at home :-) My boyfriend would be sorely disappointed otherwise!

[GOPisEvil]

11. Very true, PDA's (public displays of ass) are tacky.

PRIVATE displays are encouraged! :D

[Blue-Jay]

8. Good. I'm tired of looking at people's undewear.

Unless its someone's that I'm interested in seeing, that is.

[supernova]

10. Same here

I don't care about seeing people's underwear in public. I do like seeing the underwear of someone I care about. :D

I didn't mind the hiphugger jeans though. That was around with I was a teen.

[Red State Rebel]

28. Me too but my hubby has terminal plumbers butt.....n/m

[Piperay]

59. Yeah, me too

and most of the time it is the 'butt uglies' who nobody would want anyway that 'sport' the look. :puke:

[StClone]

12. Lower Back tattoo too?

the combo Hip-hugger/G-String/Tattoo may be fading from what I hear.

[Fenris]

13. Nonsensical Chinese characters on the back should never be hip.

Research, people! Your stupid back tattoos make no sense!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

24. Almost all of them read 'Ginger Malevolent Cheesecakes'

according to my Chinese source.

[Fenris]

25. That ginger cheesecake was looking quite malevolent...

Maybe it's a warning.

[regularguy]

29. My man says they say "All your ass are belong to us"

[Bunny]

54. **snarf**

That's a good one! :D

[drumwolf]

14. Underwear and tattoos

I don't EVER want to see the underwear of ANYONE in public. If it's someone I care about, I don't mind seeing her underwear -- in private, and without pants hanging from it. :)

As for Chinese tattoos, I'm thinking about getting a tat, and I'm Asian so I actually have an excuse to get Chinese characters tattooed on my skin. :evilgrin:

[bushisanidiot]

15. Yay! the "I'm a whore!" look is FINALLY going away..

not soon enough for me.

my ex used to dress like that. I tried hinting to her that I didn't like it by pointing out that I could see her g-string when she sat down. heh.. I don't think she like that. ;)

[belladonna]

43. Or maybe she didn't like being called a whore, just a guess N/T

[bushisanidiot]

47. Oh, I would have never called her that.

I know when to keep my mouth shut. ;)

[belladonna]

52. C'mon, with that attitude?

The mere fact that you let a simple thing like the way she dressed bother you THAT much says it all...

[bushisanidiot]

60. No, I've never called anyone I've dated a demeaning name

..doesn't mean I'm not thinking it.

If my daughter tried to dress like that I'd do the same thing.. tell her I can see her underwear over her pants and try to discourage her from wearing such an outfit. I'd never call her a whore.

[Kali]

16. meh when I was your age...

I always feel sort of hypocritical ripping kids fashions, cause we looked pretty sleazy/ratty/strange when we were young too, its part of the process.


But this pants thing - HOW THE HELL DO THEY WALK? I have unintentional pants like that and I can't walk, they fall off - gotta wear a belt. How do they do that? In physics and calculus there are some rules about the lower parts of curves and gravity or something - how can pants hang on below the 90 degree quarter there?

[realisticphish]

30. I DESPISE this fashion

but my fellow youth insist on it. A lot of them actually wear belts, but just tighten them lower

[chicaloca]

48. I actually like them (without the g-strings hanging out)

Most other women's jeans cut into my stomach when I sit down, and even though I sometimes have to wear belts with hip-huggers, they're still more comfortable than any other jeans I've worn.

[Kali]

55. hee hee

I'm that old that when I was in 8th grade I got hauled down to the pricipal's office for my hip huggers that was in the 70's, man! - actually I was refering to the guys droopy baggy thing going on there - even the lowest cut girl's pants I've seen were above the 45 degrees from top dead center of the circle, know what I mean?

)- that would be 45 degrees

) normal


)_ against the laws of gravity

[flamingyouth]

17. I posted awhile ago that the sexy librarian look will be big this fall

Personally, that's a look I can and do sport with pride. Finally, at long last, I'll be in style! :D

[GOPisEvil]

19. I reiterate my "hubba hubba" from that thread!

[Fenris]

26. Sexy librarian NEVER goes out of style!

:D

[GOPisEvil]

27. Especially when the look is sported by a sexy librarian!

:D

[flamingyouth]

40. Now, now, you two!

I'm blushing!!! :D

[GOPisEvil]

42. Anytime you need an ego-boost, just let us know!

We aim to please! :D

[flamingyouth]

44. I need that ego-boost 24/7

I'm sure between the two of you, you can work out a reasonable time table.:D

[GOPisEvil]

45. We'll get to work building that altar.

When Fenris gets back to school, we'll only be about 45 minutes from each other. We can coordinate our ego-boost activities.

[flamingyouth]

46. LOL - I couldn't be more flattered

You know I adore the both of you.:loveya:

[GOPisEvil]

50. The adoration is mutual.

:loveya:

[Taverner]

18. Sigh...I'll miss it

of course what I'm worried about is that every fashion creates a backlash in the opposite direction.

Expect to see modesty as the new direction of fashion. Fuck modesty.

[VelmaD]

49. I'm with you

FUCK MODESTY!

Goddammit I worked TOO FUCKING HARD to lose weight for "modesty" to be fashoinable. I'm a wearin' my hiphuggers dammit. :)

[MissMillie]

20. Clothes are sexier

when they leave something to the imagination.

[HEyHEY]

35. I agree,

The most "Taken" I've ever been was when I went to see a friend in the hospital. Her sister came at the same time. She was wearing a dark red turtleneck sweater and an ankle long black dress with a slit up the one side.... man it took me awhile to stop comparing every girl to that image.

[JVS]

38. Hence the appeal of the TV show "The flying nun"

mmmmm habit.

[Guy Fawkes]

21. Hallelujah!

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. Now, if we can only get the guys to pull their pants back up over

their CK underwear...

[rene moon]

23. Good!

Such a tacky look. UGH

[Angelus]

31. That's bullshit.

How can seeing some chick's thong be "overtly sexy and a turnoff"????

That shit turns me on, actually.

[bloodyjack]

58. some people can appreciate subtlety!

other people like having the cruder parts of the female anatomy shoved in their faces! to each his own, right!

[LynneSin]

32. You can't find anything but the hiphuggers at Old Navy....

...mind you they sell normal waisted stuff but it's all sold out or the sizes are picked over. But they have tons of the low waisted stuff because no one wants that style anymore. I'm a size 16 ass, you don't want me wearing hip huggers - trust me on that one!

[Reverend_Smitty]

33. Will somebody please think of the whores??

Some comedian said something along those lines in reference to this fashion...I mean think about it. If every girl paraded around town looking like this, how are we supposed to know who the hookers are?

but I may just be jealous cause I don't have the bod to wear them, oh well

[HEyHEY]

34. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Actually Yes, I'm tired of seeing cute girls then instinctivley thinking they're tramps once I've seen their undies

[YellowRubberDuckie]

36. Thank GOD!!

It's trashy and icky. But that's just my opinion.
Duckie

[m-jean03]

37. It better not!!

I'm just getting started on my lifetime of ogling provocatively dressed ladies!!
:evilgrin:

And what I want to know is, since when was "overtly sexy" a "turn-off??? :wtf:
:evilgrin:

[name not needed]

39. That's in Australia. Here, overt sexuality shall never die!

:)

[VoteDemocratic2004]

51. That's nasty looking

:puke:

[Xithras]

53. The Under-Dressed Look: Out. The Naked Look: In.

A man can hope can't he? ;)

[scarlet_owl]

56. Good.

I'm sick of looking at other people's butt floss. Pull up your damn pants!

[WindRavenX]

57. good

Personally, I like clothes that show only a *tiny* bit of skin...it's more of a tease that way. I mean, if I see a dude's undies because his pants are so damn loose- what's the mystery? I'd already know if he prefers boxers or briefs :(
I like a mystery. And from experience, it's always showing just the right amount of skin that leads to intriguement. Like some clevage, but nothing else ya know?
