When shorts aren’t shorts

While I was in Sydney en route to the airport a few months ago I found myself standing on an escalator chatting away and when I turned around I found this young ladies butt in my face.

I joked about the matter to suger and we giggled and I quickly snapped a picture of her butt hoping she wouldn’t notice and turn around and bitch slap me.

As I stood there I thought to myself..really when did shorts change so much. This trend is kinda huge at the moment and I just don’t get it. What’s so cool about having your pockets {and butt} hang out, don’t they get cold and what if you don’t have a perfectly toned arse, I mean seriously I can almost see what she had for breakfast..how is that attractive?

    Hahaha! Imagine if she turned around mid-photo. I am no prude, but I cringe when I see girls in SHORT shorts (well, let’s be honest, undies). Especially when the girls we’re talking about are well…girls! They’re like 12!!!

    I’ve forwarded this to my eldest stepdaughter who is tall and gorgeous but being a young girl who lives by the beach is challenged to wear alternatives when it’s such a trend with her peers to sport ‘the belt’!

    II don’t mind it. I think it can look quite good if they cover up on top. Cleavage and short shorts can look like a ho. The only problem I see with this trend is it won’t suit most body types and there’s nothing worse than having your flab hanging out along with your pockets, plus it can look skanky if the right top is not worn.

    Ewww! LOL
    I hate seeing the pockets (and yes, but cheeks!) hanging out, I don’t understand it either, I mean what’s the point of wearing pants that don’t actually cover the parts they are meant to?

    I also hate seeing shorts that are low waisted and seeing the g-string 3 inches above it. Blughhhhh! So tacky! If they are trying to look ‘sexy’, they are only going to be sexy to the wrong type of guys!

    Haha! I am so glad someone wrote a post about this. It’s one of my pet hates. And not only are they unattractive but they look so uncomfortable? I feel like they would ride up ALL the time.

    The pockets hanging down always make me think of rogue panty liners making an escape bid! Ewwwwww!

    I am not a fan of the ubiquitous denim underpants. If you have to wax to wear a pair of pants that is not swimwear, then I think that’s a problem.

    I’m also over seeing so much buttock. Whether it is firm, toned, taut and terrific flesh, or, um, ahem, something that looks a bit more like flesh coloured orange peel jelly. Put it away!

    I hate it! And what’s worse is those select few women that have forgotten their age like the over 50 something lady my hubby so lovingly pointed out at the market with her bum cheeks actually hanging out that get around in this.

    What happened to leaving something up to the imagination.
