The "Stomach Butt" Blues

Lucky Brand jeans tend to fit curvy women like myself in a very flattering manner. As Steph noted some time ago, the jeans have a front panel practically made of Kevlar, and the lower gut jut is more or less eliminated as a result. However, I find their prices totally unreasonable (I think their cheapest pairs are $76! Gut jut reduction comes at a price.) Fortunately, the Lucky Brand store is currently having their biannual 50% off sale, plus an additional 25% off the sale price. Since there were potential bargains to be had, I decided to poke my head in the store on Saturday morning and see what deals I might unroot.

I tried on a couple of pairs of jeans. One was way too tight, resulting in the dreaded “stomach butt.” “Stomach butt” is my term for the unfortunate reaction that my body has to jeans that are too tight. Basically, as the jeans smoosh my gut together, a “crack” appears as the result of the two folds of fat meeting in the front. It looks like a butt. Charming, isn’t it? Sorry, no pictures available….

  1. I need some flattering jeans. Where is this store?

    I don't need no stomach butt or butt stomach though. I have enough, thank you.

  2. Hi there Suzanne- First, thanks for the empathy regarding the corporate disgust I have been lately feeling (PGCW.blogspot comment).

    Also- loved your profile recap:
    "While I'm a do-gooder by training and profession, I sort of also loathe people." HAHAHAHAHAHA.

    Love your blog- yes- women are people too. And we have brains! By the way- Tom Delay is a known douchebag. The fact that he would engage in a public endorsement of beaver ANYTHING (something I suspect he knows NOTHING about)- proves this fact. Big Hugs-
    J.Y.N.

  3. LOL! I know what you mean-- I can't find any jeans right now that fit me in a good way in either direction. Either too tight around waist if they fit my butt and thighs, or too baggy if my waist fits. Where do they get the models for their patterns anyway?

  4. this condition is also called the vajomach, the vagina/stomach combo. also when jeans are too tight and your fat hangs over the top, it is called a muffin top. as mean as both sond, kinda funny too.
