I was out at the movies last Friday with Pam, Yvonne and Lori when I saw something that kinda thew me. It was a teenage kid with the usual get up; baggie pants around the knees, black hoodie, baseball cap crooked to the side. That's not unusual. What amazed me was that he pulled out a lint roller and went to work on his hoodie. Turns out that this look of total slovenliness, a look that forces the wearer to literally waddle as the pants are so low that full leg movement is not possible, is actually refined. I found myself wanting to walk up to the guy and say, "Dude, you look like shit and a lint roller isn't going to help. Pull up your damn pants."
Honestly, the Cavarrici pants that used to be all the rage when I was in High School were bad, but this baggy jeans stuff is way worse. Someone should take pictures of these kids and show the pictures to them when their are in their 30s. They'll blanch and just shake their heads at their own stupidity. At least Cavvaricis you could walk around in. When you find yourself the victim of fashion where all you can do is waddle, wouldn't you have to think twice about that?
Inquiring minds want to know; are these special types of jeans that actually go around the waste, but only start at the knees? Or are these regular jeans that they just low ride several inches below the ass?
BTW, I note that at the same location while all the boys were fashion handicapping themselves with baggy jeans all of the women were dressed in the usual slutty but functional gear.
Reminds me of that great line from Aliens; "Did IQs suddenly drop while I was away?"
