So I've heard.......but I've lived without setting foot in one for all these years, so as I said, I'm obviously not missing anything.

Hey, I see you're Brownwater.

I will buy your book. I am writing mine now.

69/70 Vung Tau LST Beach and DeLong Pier, Long Tau and Saigon.

I was Navy however. There were more Army guys in the Brownwater Navy than there were actual squids!

>>Who the hell is selling this crap?<<

Its the new "hot thing" - almost 50,000 hits on google for "pimpfants." I told my wife "did you see this crap for kids?" And she said "Isn't it cute, my brother would think its funny, I'm was shopping that site for my nephew (<1 year old) :(

http://www.pimpfants.com/

And BTW, I didn't show the ones that really bothered me - 3 year olds girls with slutty slogans.

69/70 Vung Tau LST Beach and DeLong Pier…

Yep! We saw them on occasion. You’re right – few people know we had more brownwater (and a lot of blue water) people, and a heck of a lot of boats and ships.
And – I thank you for the purchase.

Pity poor rock chick Gwen Stefani (of "No Doubt"). 36 years old and still having to dress like a mall rat for the concerts and videos. Poor kid. And she looks like she was just born to model big band/swing-era outfits.

Her jeans are, obviously...low of waist.

Even in the Misses' dept, where most 30-something women should be doing their clothes shopping, sell the lower waist jeans. Quite frankly, as long as they are just below the waist rather than grazing the crotch, they are actually more flattering than the regular waisted jeans.

Having said that, I have a lot of links on my links page to places where one can buy longer undershirts to nicely and attractively cover up the backside which longs to be exposed in the lower waist jeans.

I think the person who wrote this article would prefer if all post-college age women dressed more like dowagers than women who still have a decent figure.

I have a 21 year old son. Every so often I'll say to him some particular girl seems nice, and he'll say "Mom, I'm not going out with any girl who has 'spoiled rotten' written across her chest".

It sounds like your son will be a keeper for some nice, decent girl someday. Good job on raising him to know the difference between women and girls.

This actually scares me and I don't find it humorous on even the tiniest level (I have a pretty dark sense of humor too). I see NBC Dateline catching pedophiles left and right in those stings and they are everywhere - I read stories in the paper of men raping infants (literally infants) and I can't wrap my mind around it - how does one sexualize infants, toddlers and children?

We are degrading faster and faster, I'm afraid. Now I know why the Bible says the "love of money" is the root of a lot of evil.

My wife (reluctantly) bought some low (not 'ho) rise jeans and couldn't believe how comfortable they were.

They are more comfortable and more flattering than the regular waisted jeans. However, you can overcome the "ho" look if you can find longer shirts to wear with them so you're still covered.

Don't forget Chico's. :)

Their sizing system never makes any sense to me.

Staying out of the sun will help you look younger, not baring your midriff.

She has been looking like crazy for a pair of jeans that aren't low rise, but isn't having any luck.

Look in the men's department. There's no difference in men's and women's jeans, except that women's are cut much, much lower.

I also have a dark sense of humor, enjoy sexual humor and am not uptight about what teens do (with each other) - but these are 5 year olds or even two year olds - it makes me very unhappy.

There's a group of women in San Diego called the "Pink Thong" club. They are all over 50. They just got a big write up in the newspaper. They think it's cute. I saw their pictures. It's not.

I might add that I often find my Ralph Lauren jeans at Marshalls, TJ Maxx or Ross and pay much less for them than at the mall. I really hate to pay more than $20 for a pair of jeans.

Trying to look 20 at 50 never works. It just makes a woman look desperate to be young again. It only makes em look silly.

Good point. I guess it is better to derogatorily complement than to just be plain derogatory.

At least we get it.
