I like them.

 

The name is dumb.

 

Some people can't help but (ha) have any jeans at all fit like this, so for them to be deliberately constructed to be comfortable is probably a boon.

Well, the first three pictures looked...ok. Then the bottom two pictures, the pockets are much smaller.

Small, high pockets = bad (for almost everyone).

 

And the high waist, no thanks, I don't need to look like I have a front butt.

Yeah, I agree the jeans in that set of pics looks too small and tight. I'm all for natural waist jeans that fit in the waist and hip, but the ones that look like they're riding up . . . no, just no.

 

I mean check out the GIF in this (though I think hers look a size too small).

They call to mind a certain song about liking big butts and not being able to lie about it.

 

On a totally unrelated note, did you notice that KUBE is not KUBE anymore and no more Sir Mix-a-Lot at lunch? Supposedly it continues on 104.9 but I didn't hear the program. Maybe I missed it. I don't care if 103.7 abruptly changed to 100% throwbacks, I still liked that lunch show.

 

I am disappointed.

OMG, that was hilarious.

And just confirmed my suspicions that they are NOT flattering. Yikes.

No. I get my, shall we say, "Mix fix" from skating and (confession time) owning every album he's ever released. Yes, even "Return of the Bumpasaurus".

 

I don't think I've listened to the KUBE since I was in high school. I will confess that my radio is basically permanently set to KUOW and only occassionally moved over to KEXP and KING when I don't like the show that is on KEXP.

 

Let's see, drawing from recent threads:

 

Fondness for old school Seattle rap.

Public radio junkie

Wannabe roller derby girl

Sarah Vowell reader

 

I am thusly a walking Seattle white liberal sterotype. If a Subaru is in my parking spot tomorrow, send in a rescue team, will you?!

This apt phrase is exactly why I don't like high waisted denim on myself. I do not, nor ever have had the flat tummy of someone who can pull these off. Even long time gone, when I was super fit and bordering on underweight, I am genetically disposed to rock a tummy.

I think it's hysterical! I would encourage my DDs NOT to wear them, and I know I won't be going anywhere near something that wants to give me a wedgie, but if that's what kids today think is cool, good for them!  I wonder if my mom thought my fashion choices were so funny? Surely not...I was awesome.

You kind of are.

 

However, you didn't wait until 45 to have children so there's that.

And I don't own a dog. So that's something. And I don't do Crossfit or (whispering) like coffee that much.

 

It is true though that having my first kid in Seattle at 23 was something that was socially the near equivalent of having your first child at 13 in other places. Some people were seriously rude about it. Well, some of the ones who realized I wasn't the nanny were rude. Most parents where we lived just assumed I was someone else's nanny. Can't say I miss Ballard.

I don't know, I think that they look a lot nicer than the saggy-butt look promoted by a blog that was popular a few years back. I don't really have a jeans body atm, but when (if :huh: ) I ever lose the baby weight I'll be looking for some nicely-fitted jeans.

They look pretty good on the models.

 

 

Did you look at the buzzfeed post with pictures of a woman who is not a model?

My partner had his first kid at 23. People look at him like he was selling pot at the 7-11. He had a degree and was working, but WHOA WHAT? I think they were stuck in a small town and ran out of condoms or something. It was unplanned but they weren't generally irresponsible people on the whole.

 

I just learned tonight that the parents of my kids' friends--I had mine at 29, respectable, I thought, and healthy for all of us--are 49 and 55!!! My mom is 60! This just amazes me. I feel much better about only just now buying a house out here. Apparently we are doing damn well.

 

I understand why people wait to have children, I do, but sometimes I wonder how sustainable this is. I know I for one am glad I had mine earlier, though I never thought in a million years that 29/31 was "early" to have children. It was the latest recommended by the WHO.

 

As for Crossfit, lord yes.

 

Coffee. What are you, magical?

We were married and I was on BCP. Our son is the result of the failure rate when used correctly. We'd not planned to have kids then...we thought we'd wait until 35ish or so (my husband and I are just a year apart in age). That's a funny thought because we are 35 and 36 now. It's also a sad thought because then my mom never would have met any kids we might have had because she died in 2009.

 

We are fairly fortunate it worked out that way because we experienced SIF and recurrent miscarriages between our sons and for awhile there it seemed he would be an only child. There's some reasons to think that had we waited until now to start, we might be out of luck. Which, had we spent that last dozen years preventing pregnancy, we would have had no reason to find out until it was perhaps too late. Our life would be very different but I can't imagine not having the sons we have. There are definitely advantages to waiting to have kids. There are also advantages to being a younger parent and perhaps younger grandparent.

 

Re coffee: I'm not magical, I just have other vices. I do drink coffee occasionally but I can live without it. I drank it a lot in high school and it proved not so great for my stomach.

I am not sure, I think I would need to try them on.

 

I'm not surprised that high waists (or higher than they were) are coming back.  With a skinny jean a very low rise can look oddly proportioned and tend to fall down on many people.

 

I don't think they are like mom jeans though.  Those had high waists, but saggy butts and often pleats in front.

I think they look good on models and reasonably high waist look way better than low- waist look at my muffin top jeans. My favs are some Ann Taylor skinny jeans that come to my belly button. Of course it depends as well as your own proportions- I'm short-waisted- I like pants higher waisted but do not wear short tops with them.

Hilarious and completely unflattering! :) I mean, of course they looked good on the size 0 photoshopped model. I'm shocked they were able to make her look good in them. :001_rolleyes:  But look how they look on a real person (and by real, I don't mean size, I just mean, not an ad). They look uncomfortable and like they fit wrong. Like she bought the wrong pair of jeans. Like I said in my first post, it looks accidental.
