Keeps pants from riding up while sitting or becoming uncomfortable after a big meal.

Elastic only goes so far and it tends to hurt the skin. Plus, pants with elastic waistbands are kind of tacky.

Wear a python. It operates the same way.

Well - an anaconda, if you prefer.

Aren't there already belts with elastic built in? If that's not fashionable enough, perhaps it could be camouflaged.

Missed opportunity (neelandan): "Wear a boa."

Wouldn't this take the fun out of wearing those hot new superlow jeans? I mean, we wear them precisely *for* the possibility of giving our hind-side viewers an occasional dose of plumber's butt ...

I can't good in good conscience croissant anything that might reduce the sheer pleasure of being a girl.

I think those low jeans look goofy anyway, like 'My mommy couldn't afford to buy me new clothes'.

are they what we used to call hipsters?

what are those silly trousers that have the crotch (nearly said crutch) around the knees?
-- po, Dec 08 2001


'Hipsters', yes.

The 'crotch at the knees' thing is called 'house'...as I understand it <which may be wrong; caveat emptor>, it's short for '<in the> big house', ie jail, where they take your belt away and your pants slip down. Manages to look even more dumb than the hipsters...

In her latest crappy video, Britney Spears wears a pair of hot-pink undies *over* her own superlow leather jeans. It's a look ... more or less.

I'm fairly certain that Britney's mommy can afford to buy her a few new things; whether or not anyone could call them 'clothing' is another matter.

She bought herself a couple of new 'things' too...Keep wanting to stick a pin in her jahoobies and see if they'll pop...

snuggling is good,

the snuggle belt is a good idea
-- 0_owaffleo_0, Mar 20 2003


I like it. It should easily adjust to your changing dimensions... kinda like a belt with more than one buckle hole.
