From the newspaper

I saw an article today, written by Kim Ode for the Minneapolis Star Tribune, about “muffin tops… the nickname for the roll of flesh that swells over” low-rise jeans. I love the way she put it:

“The low-rise trend has hung tough for about five years – longer than the fashion industry imagined or many parents wished. The phenomenon isn’t limited to girls, of course. Some women also like jeans that hug a spot that, for many, doesn’t benefit from scrutiny, much less bakery imagery.”

Isn’t that the truth?
