Ponchos, (though I haven't seen crotched ones, so I can't be totally sure) also back on the west coast.

G-stringed ponchos are what I'm waiting for.

High heels on me would be questionable. Crotchless ponchos equally so.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 00:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Now, see, I can sorta understand a crotchless poncho on a guy...on a cold day at the Folsom Street Fair, say.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 00:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Heels are classic because the alternatives are hemming, stapling, or rolling up the hems of my pants (buying pants that fit is wonderful but very, very rare with the small selection of stores I've got access to). Also I know they're not fashionable, and certainly not sexy on me, but I love huge clunky platform boots. With lots of laces or buckles, preferably.

I like the idea of ponchos but the ones I see in stores are always kind of drab looking. If you're not going to have a really soft or warm or otherwise lovely poncho, you could at least make one with pretty colors, right?

There's nothing like high heels to say to a man, "I abuse myself in public. Come join the fun."

― Aimless (Aimless), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 01:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I know, I know, I feel the same about men who wear ties. I mean, talk about parading your asphyxiation fantasies in public. No wonder so many men get strangled.

I want Marilyn's clear-colored heels:

I can't believe I let a shoe thread go this long without posting.

I've gotta jump in and define the one acceptable and really hot way of tucking your jeans into your boots: they must be motorcycle boots, and you should be wearing a motorcycle jacket.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:30 (nineteen years ago) link

And the jeans must not be bootcut. They must be slim fit people, pencil legs, tapered!!!!

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:31 (nineteen years ago) link

tapered jeans must die a horribly fiery death.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Ewww, tapered jeans are just nasty. Unless you're one of the few women with no hips- on most people they look horrible.

Heels 2" or shorter I'm fine with- no problems wearing them. It's the ones that are taller than that which I refuse to wear for more than a few hours every once in a while.

― lyra (lyra), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:46 (nineteen years ago) link

id wear a crotch poncho before id wear tapered jeans.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:53 (nineteen years ago) link

if i wore tapered jeans i'd look like i was wearing a barrel around my hips. lyra is right, they look good on women with no hips, on everyone else... pearshape-city

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I think Ally's point was tapered jeans if they're going into the boots. I mean come on, shovelling flares into boots is like tucking your jumper into your undies.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:09 (nineteen years ago) link

See now this is why a crotched poncho would be ok - you could tuck that into your undies and k now I really will get me coat.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Crotch ponchos are everywhere in the Midwest this Christmas. I blame Jessica "My daddy's the best kisser in the world" Simpson.
I don't agree with high heels with velour tracksuit bottoms though. Declasse high.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:10 (nineteen years ago) link

there are lots of crotch ponchos here in WA too, including in the shop i work in at weekends. how am i going to keep a straight face when customers ask for a crochet poncho now?? inappropriate laughter will be all your fault trayce!

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, dudes, don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating the wearing of tapered jeans under any circumstances besides ones I've already said are actually at least vaguely abbhorent to me. Please, let's all have a hug.

I personally won't even put on straight legged jeans for fear of BUM HEAVINESS.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes. I have huge hips anyway I don't need to look like I'm about to go fox hunting.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:17 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah my hips are on the curvy side too, i care not for making them any bigger

those little turnup cuff ones that are all the rage here at the moment are tapered i think? i would like to ban them, they are not bumflattering on most girls

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:18 (nineteen years ago) link

not saying i'm in favor of the pants-tucked-into-boots look, but what's wrong with big hips?

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:25 (nineteen years ago) link

surface noise to thread!!!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I am proud of my round arse, I'll have you all know.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:50 (nineteen years ago) link

hmmm... when i have a boyfriend i am usually proud of my curves too since boys dig curves i find. i lose confidence in it when i'm solo though, and then my hips seem so much bigger than my waist and it all feels horribly out of proportion.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:53 (nineteen years ago) link

I hate my belleh, but it really is preggers-huge at the moment and out of all proportion with the rest of me, and I cant do up my pants :(

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:54 (nineteen years ago) link

we are all so different aren't we, even when i gave up smoking and got pudgy i still always had a flat belly. the weight goes straight to my bottom for me. maybe that's why i'm self-conscious about it.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:57 (nineteen years ago) link

seriously, hasn't Sir Mix-a-lot taught us anything?
xpost hips much bigger than waist? that's how it's supposed to be!

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Exactly! And my waist is bigger than everything :( I'm like a freakin biafran, Ive always had a pot. WHYYYEEE?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 06:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Erm sorry, I've rather derailed from shoes here havent I.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 06:08 (nineteen years ago) link

haha biafran derailer

oops whoever learned anything from sir mixalot it wasn't jeans and trousers manufacturers, i can never get ones that fit my hips that aren't miles too big around the waist.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 06:09 (nineteen years ago) link

gem I'll swap you some of my gut, I'll take some of yer butt.

(ooer matron that sounds a bit rude!)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 06:12 (nineteen years ago) link

deal trayce!

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 06:13 (nineteen years ago) link

ugg boots=white trash britney going to the 7-11 half asleep to buy marlboro reds

i like that look. i'm not going to adopt it myself, necessarily, but i do find it charming in its own way.

Ponchos with high heels - Welcome To London.

― Anna (Anna), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 11:53 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm confused by the hatred for straight-legged/tapered jeans. they might be the best kind.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 11:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Straight legs - good, tappered legs - bad. (The thighs the limit)

― Anna (Anna), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 12:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Lauren, I finally got my ass in Sergio Valente jeans (when Loehmanns was carrying a shitload) and love love love. I never thought I would love tapered jeans so much, but due to the 2% lycra content they are comfortable and they seem to make my legs look much longer. This is why we love boys in tight jeans.

― S!monB!rch (Carey), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 13:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I can understand hating tapered jeans, because most brands make you look like a paunchy penguin because of the cut or the quality of the denim.

― S!monB!rch (Carey), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 13:28 (nineteen years ago) link

yes! best jeans ever, right? i'm really worried... my only remaining pair are starting to wear out after like 3 years of near-constant use.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 13:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, after trying them on I almost bought all the remaining ones in my size (only $40! Loehmanns luv luv luv) They had like 5 different styles too. I feel ashamed that the ones that I loved were the DIVA style. I can be your jean bitch and be on the lookout for when more pop up there. I think they also had Yanuk, Chip and Peppers and Earls for about $50. I can't seem to get those jeans over my ass though because of the lowrise.

― S!monB!rch (Carey), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 13:36 (nineteen years ago) link

I have seen some women, who look damn good in crocheted ponchos. Not many though.
I like high heels, and wish I cd find a pair in size 11.

there's one type of earl that goes over more voluptuous derrieres. i don't know the name, unfortunately, but they're almost as good as the sergios.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 13:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Argh. (thx stevem)

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 13:43 (nineteen years ago) link

I hate shopping for jeans - it takes ages to find any that will go over my thighs and when I do, they're really baggy around the waist. I managed to get some in Warehouse a couple of weeks ago that were called LA Wide Leg. That's shopspeak for 1ucy 4lder Fat Thighs.
