Please tell women that low-rise jeans only look good on a handful of people. Whenever I go out, all I see are “girl love handles” (GLH) hanging over low-rise jeans. For the love of humanity, Dan! Someone needs to tell women who are overweight, tubby, fat, or just not properly proportioned to stop wearing jeans that show off or create rolls! Just today I saw a girl who would have been attractive had it not been for her damn low-rise jeans. GLH is never sexy, ladies! It’s revolting. No one wants to see fat rolls hanging over the tops of jeans or bulging out from under belly shirts! Seriously, women, there really are only a select few of you who look good in these jeans. If you don’t have the body for it (and if you have to think about it–even for an instant–you don’t!), do not wear low-rise jeans! –Butter With Your Rolls

I’m opening this week’s rather random, slightly scattered column (damn medical marijuana!) with your letter, BWYR, because I happen to agree with you 100 percent. Just between you, me, and everyone else, I simply can’t believe we’re headed for a third summer of low-rise jeans, high-rise shirts, and overflowing GLH. Low-rise is not a fashion statement we Americans should be making just now, what with our skyrocketing rates of obesity. If we want to flounce around in belly-and-backside-exposing pants–and apparently we do–we should get the obesity epidemic under control first.

I am sure there are other women who find the sight of their strapping lads in a diaper or, say, panties and a bra hilarious, and don’t want to be mean about it. Any advice for us?
Thanks for sharing, AC.
