Too much female crack on display (sharismom)

 I think Laura Bush looks....medicated? tranquilized?...most of the time so she might be up for it.  

Geez.  If I had to live with Dubya I'd stay medicated, too.  Back to topic - low rise jeans can look pretty cool with body shirts and all cracks stay covered.

But not enough to not eat my eggplant parmesania.

Jan - you are killing me LMAO

What really gets me is those girls that wear their thongs with jeans that are super low.  You can see the whole top of the thong and butt.  It's sad that a lot of parents let their daughters go out dressed like that. 

If the phrase "crack kills" reminds you to pull your pants up, you might be a redneck.

I must be getting old.  The low-cut jean fashion is causing me a problem and I don't know how to deal with it.  Female butt-crack is worse than "camel toe".

Oh, goody a subject I have a lot in common with!  I read this to my husband and he busted his gut!   LOL  You know, I have a problem with this too.  My problem however, is you can't buy new fad jeans that aren't so low cut...it's the style.  I just had on a pair of jeans today, I had to take off, because they are a lower cut, and they kept pulling my underwear down.  I have to say too, when I wear them, I also wear a long t-shirt, to cover my bottom, in case I run into the plumber crack situation.  But, it is so hard to find jeans in the styles I like without them being so low cut.  Heck, I'm thin, no real hips and all jeans anymore have that stupid spandex in them, that causes me the same problems.  I hate the fact I sit down, and my pants feel like their falling down, then I stand up and have to keep pulling up my pants!!!   Arrrggghhh!  I have to buy 100% cotton, so I don't have that problem, but I like the flared legs, and they're hard to find!  You know when you see people like that, well at least when I do, I actually say "Just say NO to crack!"  My daughters always get embarrassed!

I'm just longing for fashion to change yet again ... back to baggy styles that are *comfortable* (Sorry ... Brit Spears has a LOT to account for!!)

I pretty much wear what I want and what's comfortable and if I don't like the slacks in style today I just go a few years (I hate to shop anyway) -- but it just absolutely cracks me up to see women everywhere trying to pull, tug, adjust, move, pull up, pull down, and generally contort themselves just to walk down the street because their clothing is SO uncomfortable and won't stay in place. 

But at the same time we're rearing a generation of little girls who won't wear slacks but want to wear dresses/skirts ALL the time but they're allowed to sit with their legs fully apart, their underwear askew and their private parts in full view ... and people wonder why kids are in danger from pedophiles. 

I didn't wear short skirts when they were in style the FIRST time because my legs were ugly then. 

 Fashion will 'go round' again and men won't be bald all the time and women will get to wear comfy clothes again for a while!

Ron - LOL!! 

Janet808: yes, I find myself with the similar dilemma, too.  It's hard to find stuff that isn't low-cut or with spandex.  I'm an average build, but because I accept the way I'm shaped, I know low-rise does not suit my figure at all.  And I had the same problem as you with the spandex in the pants.  They fit like a glove for about five seconds, then they bag out in the wrong places and are forever sliding down and around.  I like my 100% cotton.

Callie: like you, I hate to shop and will wear my clothes forever, hoping by the time I need to replace them, the styles will swing back around.  That is why there is something to be said for buying well-made clothing - a person can get a lot more wear out of it.

As for all the body parts hanging out, one of the few things that my ex ever said that was true: it's not how you reveal it, it's how you conceal it.

That's so weird, I have exactly the opposite problem. If my jeans don't have spandex in them, they get baggy after ten minutes. Actually, I guess it's not just the spandex. I have this favorite brand and style of jeans, and a couple months ago I bought a pair online. They came in the mail and the fiber blend is different, they're 97% cotton, 3% spandex. My old ones are like 70% cotton, 27% polyester, and 3% spandex. They fit me ridiculously well, and stay where they're supposed to stay. The cotton/spandex ones are huge and baggy after 10 minutes. So I quick jumped on eBay and bought every pair of the old blend I could find.

But anyway, as a general rule, I won't buy jeans without spandex. They just don't fit my butt or thighs right.

Crack...I used to fear it when it was simply the drug, but now  icccccck !!  camel toe happens when you least expect it . pick up 5 pounds and yep there it is, but YOU know you have a crack problem when you buy the dumb jeans. I look through a rack and when I see mid rise I ignore that pair, my crack won't show But after losing over 60 pounds I have a little tummy and there is nothing attractive about that bulge hanging over your waistband!!  I am not a prude either, but I appreciate class and there is nothing classy about dressing like your stuff is for sale or just letting it hang out for every one to see...

I'm way too old to wear jeans that fall off my butt, but I'm so happy that I can now find jeans and even work pants that are cut below the waist. I have a very short waist and long legs, so pants that are supposed to fit AT the waist are somewhere up around my rib cage. Except they're too small to button up there, so instead, they're all low in crotch and saggy in the rear. Ugh! And don't even talk to me about finding pants that are  long enough, that's another rant.

Levi's 505s fit below the waist, so they're cut bigger around to fit other women's hips, which means they actually fit MY waist. Basically, my ribs sit practically on top of my hip bones - even if I weighed 98 pounds I couldn't have a tiny little waist, it's just not physically possible. These are my new favs:  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UU86B0/ref=nosim/?tag=dealtime-app-20&creative=380333&creativeASIN=B000UU86B0&linkCode=asn

They have a bit of spandex too, and I've found that because of the slight give in the material and the fact that they actually FIT me I can wear an entire size smaller than I usually buy, and yet they are SO comfortable!  

My daughters used to call me the Mom from Hell, I stood by the front door as they went out to catch the bus with a wet washcloth and  if make up was over done or poorly applied it was washed off at the door , purses were checked to make sure they hadn't stashed thier make up in them to reapply on the bus.  Clothes that didn't fit didn't get out the door either. Thank fully our local schools have gone to uniforms, but when the time comes I know the washcloth will come back out !!   my youngest girl (28) is in rebellion, and wears some awful faddish clothes, sorry but I no longer worry about protecting her self esteem I point out the early signs of cellulite when the shorts or skirt are way too short, the tummy buldge when pants are too low etc...  she scowls and stomps off but normally changes a bit fro a day or two...

Hmmm...I'm not up on these terms I must admit...but what pray-tell is "camel toe" ?

Wow....er...I hope this was sarcastic because that's rather cruel.....if my mother, or anyone really, kept pointing out body imperfections to me, showing me where I was starting to "get fat" etc....wait a minute, that's what started my eating disorder...

Hahaha...it's when a girl's pants are hiked up a bit to far in the front.

I live in Levi's 519's...PERFECT fit for me.

I agree about the spandex.  Levi's something or others are the ones I buy.  They sit nicely just below my waist (otherwise I look like I'm all leg and no, it's not a good thing) but give around my butt and thighs.  They are boot cut, so not hugely wide at the bottom, but not tapered either.  I have 3 or 4 pairs of these and wear them almost exclusively.  I save my Old Navy, low rise, hitching up the back ones to dog class where I don't care if they get slobbered on or torn from claws.  :D
