You Won't Believe What's Wrong With This Newly-Released Item Of Women's Clothing!
(Is it overpriced, impractical and extremely uncomfortable, justifying these undesirable attributes by claiming that it will make the wearer look hot?)
Oh, OK, Maybe You Will Believe It Then. Sorry To Bother You.
Il faut souffrir pour être belle.
"belle" s/b "bootylicious"
Why would you make something like this and not make it at least somewhat stretchy? That seems like an own-goal, in regard to both appearance and comfort. Or would that conflict with the Levi's brand too much?
4: Maybe substantially more expensive to source stretch denims, whether from their traditional supplier Cone or other makers?
i think all Levi's denim has been at least somewhat stretchy for a while.
The author of the Buzzfeed post claims that these are "100% cotton with no stretch," leading to various reasonable motions causing her "entire vag [to] light on fire."
That basic shape, very high waist, very butt-hugging is pretty much the default younger female person's style here. Levi have chosen a cute/silly name but the basic cut is everywhere.
Extra douchebaggery points to Levi's for making it clear in so many words that they're literally charging you for a wedgie. I can't wait for their classic "Stop Hitting Yourself, Poindexter" jeans next year.
An article of women's clothing that prioritizes appearance over comfort? I am shocked, shocked!
There are other more positive reviews and I think the name is getting more attention for it than the cut. I wish there were more women's jeans that didn't have so much stretch, but I'm also not going to pay enough for jeans to even try something like this and so it doesn't really matter.
It looks rather as though the darkest wash has stretch and the other two do not. I dunno, I was trying on some "vintage" jeans, meaning jeans that prove how I'm an Old now because they are the kind I wore when I was a Young, and honestly, denim with a little stretch is totally to be preferred. I had forgotten how uncomfortable 100% cotton jeans were, how difficult it was to bike in them or indeed to do anything that involved any significant motion, etc. Admittedly, I'm fatter now...or wait, no, I was fatter in my early teens, then thinner, now fat but slightly less fat than in the original state, so it can't be just that I'm a fat person and require stretchy fabric.
Actually, I put up with a lot more uncomfortable clothes in my youth than I do now - easily until my early thirties, I pretty much accepted that the process of breaking in shoes was really the process of "my feet will blister, then bleed, then scar, and the scar tissue will prevent the shoes from hurting". (My feet are a mess now, of course.) And I wore lots of things that didn't fit in the shoulders and so on. I think I was so used to being uncomfortable in my clothes that I didn't even really think about it.
The trouble with those high-waisted jeans is that they do not look that great on the not-extremely-slim. My high school French textbooks had photos of French eighties teens dressed in very high-waisted French eighties jeans, and I remember how (only a few years later, when styles had shifted but slightly) I was surprised by how even these tiny French girls appears to have tiny potbellies because of the fit.
I like jeans without lycra, because the stretchy ones seem to wear out so fast. But I fear high-waist jeans will be momjeans on me.
I pretty much accepted that the process of breaking in shoes was really the process of "my feet will blister, then bleed, then scar, and the scar tissue will prevent the shoes from hurting".
Holy shit but I went through decades of that with shoes till I realized it didn't have to be that way. I think it was when I bought an almost $500 pair of Asolo hiking boots that fit me amazingly and then I wore those things every day for about 7 or 8 years.
Putting duct tape on your feet works pretty well too!

When looking for this I found a 1988 skit on climate change and the federal election. I feel old.

I totally love high waist jeans and have gotten rid of all my jeans that give me a muffin-top, of which I am prone.
I am eagerly anticipating being able to wear regular clothes again, such that even the wedgie jeans are looking appealing.
Wait! Did I miss that a congratulations are in order??
I guess it hasn't come up? RoundTwo is due in (oh jesus) seven weeks.
Congratulations!! Wait a minute, are you going to have babies with the same birthday?
Hah, I did that -- twenty-ninth of one month, and then the fourth of the next month. It makes for a kind of overwhelming birthday event in later years.
We've got it too - the girls are both the same week as the Calababies, and the boys are the same week in November.
The Calabat was a week late, so chances are good that their birth days won't be that close. Still, massive joint birthday parties!
Yay, Cala! Birthdays in my family are of course not the same as if the same person had given birth, but Lee and Nia are exactly six months apart and Selah and I one day away from that. Mara thinks this is evidence I should have a carefully timed baby for the sake of symmetry and fairness, but I don't think that's how it works.
Somebody must make amends for Uggs.
That would be Tom Brady, in this year's AFC championship game.
Yay Cala indeed! But I'm not convinced those wedgie jeans count as normal. More cruel and unusual.
My Dad, Mum, sister and me, are all born in the same week. In my wife's family, she's born on the same day as her sister, and the day after her Mum. I think. Might be same day as her Mum and day after her sister. I think her brother is also the same week. Clustering, definitely, though.
