I loved those low-risers when I was a skinny 14 year old and it was the early 70's. However, now that I'm more... ahem, mature, I utterly HATE it that every damn store, even the "large size" stores have made all their damn jeals have lower waistlines. What are they thinking?

One thing I notice with my young neice is that she is a little overweight and is unafraid to wear things that show off her body a little. I think that's so much more of a healthy attitude than what I grew up with where you didn't dare reveal any skin unless it were perfectly thin.
