Please Lord, no! High-waisted pants have never ever fit me. Please don't make us return to the days of the 2 foot high butt. Nobody looks good in high-waisted pants.

I'm sorry, but I'm hoping wide legs and low waists stay around for a while. Not "i need a bikini wax" low, but 2-3" below the navel low. For us girls who have long torsos, no stomachs and wide hips...that's all that will ever fit us.

Sorry, I'll go back to my corner now!

No, no, don't get me wrong, I don't want grandma jeans, just something other than those horrid superlow jeans the kids wear with their underwear hanging out and the plumber's crack and all. I have a big butt, and it's hard to find decent jeans that cover what should be out of sight. Good example of bad jeans: the ones Ana Lucia wears on Lost. They must have a 4" rise. I get nervous everytime I see her. How can she train an army when she's running around in a pair of pants she can't bend over in?

I guess what I want are called "mid-rise". Something a few inches below the belly button.

I like wide legs and flares, too. I can't stand the pencil jeans people are hawking now. I'd look like a sausage in those!

I have to agree that low rise jeans are not a sight to behold. Somehow I don't consider a rear peak at the valley to be alluring. Rather, I either want to laugh or feel a little stomach unsettling, or both. Sometimes I just think of dropping a pencil in the exposed crack. Why not go all the way and accesorize to really draw eyes on down; a simple flower to show earthyness or maybe a metal spike to really scare people. Crack with flavor.

Although, for fittingness sake and appearance around the waist I cannot give a good opinion because I count on my sweaters to cover down to around my pockets. I will say this though, exposed crack is another place for cold air to get at a person and a cold bum ain't fun.

It seems like I talk about jeans a lot. I guess it's an obsession, trying to find the perfect pair. I have a drawer full and I am still not satisfied.

I like the pencil suggestion. Very novel idea.

It's not so much the look of them, well maybe it is, but I run a teen hangout and see tons of 12 year old wearing them. I have to wonder what is more disturbing, that they are wearing them or that the parents are buying the jeans for them. And this town wonders why the pregancy rate is so high in young teens, lol
(sorry, ranting again)

I miss the hurricane washed jeans and the jeans that actually fit. Still waiting for yet another return of bellbottoms, now those were cool :D
