Now & Then: High Waist Pants

May 19, 2007

The toughest pants to pull off this summer are the ‘mommy pants’, as coined by a PDI 2Bu columnist. It makes even the most skinny stars of Hollywood frumpy. So girls, unless you are a stick, you better stay away from this cruel pair.

Hm, well, what’s the problem with high waist pants?

I really love women wearing them because they emphasize the woman’s behind and the contrast of hip and waist.

I never understood the long lastng fashion of low-rise jens/pants/skirts, making average legs look short and even the skinniest woman a little overweight due to cutting into the upper part of the hip instead of surrounding it.

Not convinced? Try the Google Image-search and look for pictures of Marilyn Monroe in “The Misfits” wearing a white blouse and Blue denims.
Never tell me “avoid hi waist unless you are a stick” – MM was a Size 42!

You have a point Hilo. I wrote the article after reading a pretty convincing article from the PDI. Some women can pull it off while some can’t. Maybe I was making a hasty generalization and I was just writing in the spirit of fun.

These pants are awesome. I have a similar pair as the picture but blue jean material, I have never had a pair of jeans that looked so good on me. you don’t have to be a stick. just not a very thick low waist or a very a super big butt. That looks good in everything but these.imo

Return of the Nineties by Kidswereus

Kidswereus Recalls (and ambitiously recommends) March 4, 2008
It’s been a year since we’ve begun this blog. Wahoo! It’s time to bring back the love to the next batch of SEO experts, bloggers, and internet marketers! This year’s theme is more social-oriented. I guess this idea came from our professor who thinks that the Internet is more than an all-in-one medium that integrates the [...]

Pop Swatch! November 1, 2007
They were funky, overly large, and well cute. The Pop Swatch was born in the 80’s but it got to Manila during the nineties. My cousin was obsessed with collecting all the straps that would match. We would always pass by Gift Gate in the Greenhills Shopping Arcade so that we would see the new [...]

Oh Tokyo! October 29, 2007
The show’s goal was simple: to give the Pinoys an overview of the Japanese culture. We love it for the host’s flawless translation of Japanese to Filipino. It also helps that she speaks in a sing-song voice while she asks the Tokyo-dwellers about their day-to-day living. Sad to say, this show stopped airing in RJ [...]

For kicks: Guess this 90s Telenovela October 27, 2007
The year was 1998 and we, as a nation, have just recovered from the Thalia telenovela avalanche. We needed a change of pace so here’s a soap whose heroine is a child. Her height is as tiny as her voice! I love her show-gum smile and lengthy lashes. The story was interesting in the beginning: [...]
