Actually I kinda like the pants, but it would be interesting trying to find a place to wear them! Also, good GOD, that model is skinny! I mean, REALLY!
…. That is all ……

I’m not gonna lie…I actually really like these pants. I think they’re cute and they look good.

And honestly? Who’s to say they’re sexist or demeaning in any way? I think they’re interesting and they look good on the model. I don’t see why it’s tacky to show skin. I’m sure people were saying the same thing about tank tops and shorts at some point.

The belly piercing really ties the whole outfit together, but apparently a ‘tramp stamp’ is now out of vogue.

Whether they’re hot or not is up to the beholder, but being attracted to the pants instead of the person wearing them is a recipe for disappointment (as the current divorce rate can attest). She’s gonna have to take her hot pants off at some point and will probably ultimately prefer to wear some comfortable sweats or something, at which point her presumed mate will grow disgusted and leave in search of newer, tighter, smaller pants. Or something.

I want to see them on a–ahem–”full figured” woman… oh wait–No, I really wouldn’t. But it’s bound to happen. Remember all those muffin topped women wearing crop tops a few years ago? Yuck…

Women can be (and dress) hot without looking cheap and tacky

What’s wrong with being “cheap and tacky”?
Is this about sexism or is this about class markers? “Women aren’t cheap whores, they’re expensive.”

I spit out my cereal…this may have been the funniest thing I have seen in quite some time. Takes the “whale tail” to a completely different level.

Tacky as hell.

Dear Joe,

Women can be (and dress) hot without looking cheap and tacky.

hot. simply hot.

and I mean that with all due respect to the problematics of women’s bodies becoming colonized and exploited terrain.

HOT!

Not just Japan. I saw something like this for sale in Atlanta at least a year ago. I don’t think the thong part was as extreme, though. Not as much skin showing. Still, tacky.

And yeah, actually I would hope they would be tight enough that you have to zip them up to get them halfway up the thigh. Can you imagine those pants staying on if the legs weren’t tight? There’s no real waistband to speak of…

I thought that peekaboo thong bit was Way out of style.

I don’t know anyone who does that anymore, and who isn’t embarrassed if they once did.

I think this episode of Achewood is all that need be said on the subject.

Wow. These are the ugliest pair of pants I have ever seen, and that’s saying a lot, since I live in a backwater hick town in rural Idaho. People really will buy just about anything.
