Hey thanks to everyone who posted on the Eurotard thread and thanks to the professor and Insty for the links. Who knew that humor and "meataphors" had to take a back seat to fashion stuff. It's funny that the stuff I think is really good never even gets a comment but something out of left field gets noticed.
The absolutely best thing about the whole post is that sanctimonious liberal blowhards like Eli Blake immediately get all politically correct without even checking out the post to see that Eurotard is the actual name of a product! These guys just don't have a sense of humor at all. Jeeeez what a bunch of douches.
Anyway the wife has a new post on Never Say Diet about Jean Mutation which talks about the new pastel jeans from Svoboda Jeans. Svoboda is the pest plus size premium jean company out there. They make this high waisted trouser jean that is perfect for "Casual Fridays." That's how we market it though I always add my little touch. I call it the "No plumbers crack jean." And no Eli, that has nothing to do with Joe the plumber you sanctimonious twit.
Anyway check out her post and leave a comment if you can. Thanks.

And "douche" is the actual name of that product too!
I shall now complain about high-waisted trouser jeans. Although now that it comes down to actually writing, I have little to say except that they are hateful.
Pants should never, never, never come up higher than your waist in front. Never. Particularly jeans, which usually have a narrow waistband that is several layers of thick fabric. There is no place for the extra fabric to go. You can either pull the waistband all the way up, in which case it sits just below your ribs and makes a nice picturesque bulge, or you can put the waistband at your waist, in which case you get a fold of fabric hanging somewhere around your crotch. The extra has to go somewhere.
(I make a partial exception for pants with a wide cummerbund waistband, because these will actually stay up and look kind of stylish with a tucked-in shirt. But jeans cut with a high waist? No no a thousand times no.)
This is particularly horrifying in the case of jeans made for the larger woman, more so for the woman who is pear-shaped, and even more for the woman who is generous of butt. In this case, you will end up with a waistband that pulls below the waist in the back, that goes far above the waist in front (or creates a flap of loose fabric, see above), and that is altogether just wrong. Terribly wrong. (Lane Bryant has a trouser jean that does this, and if the waist had just been lower in front, I swear I would have bought ten pairs. The fit was excellent otherwise but the pants were impossible with this flaw.)
The contoured waist - lower in front, high in back - is a popular fashion for a reason. It is flattering. With a deliberately high-waisted pant you tend to get a reverse-contoured waist - high in front and low in back - which, logically, is the opposite of flattering. No no a thousand times no.
Don't ask me why I'm ranting about this here. I have tried and failed to find good jeans lately and I have to rant to someone.
OK, I left a comment on the blog for your wife. Seeeesh, you are one insufferable promoter. :)
And no Eli, that has nothing to do with Joe the plumber you sanctimonious twit.Really. Talk about a wet blanket.
Jaed you really have to check out the Svoboda high waisted jean because it does have the cummberbund band and is made especially for plus sized women. It is one of the most popular jeans in our store because the quailty of the demin mades it perfect for casual Friday. I think you should check it out and you will be very pleastently surprised.
