In Those Jeans

Posted by Tony Micelli 20 August 2009


Well I'm back with another one. I was having a chit chat with one of my twitter buddy the other day. Within this convo she told me her nephew was searching for tiger stripe skinny jeans. Now don't get me wrong I'm a older person (27 to be exact) but I still see my person that still connect with younger people or maybe that's a old man trying to hold on. This whole jerk movement I get it great but where I get lost is the whole skinny jean thing. Those that are lost jerkin is a dance movement from the west coast. The kids in the video are wearing crazy colored jeans that are painted on and dancing around. Baggy jeans are out and its the smaller clothes are the better. Really? I understand that fashion cycles over and over and there was a time frame where spandex on a male was a OK thing. Are we re-visiting that era? I hope not. What is being misunderstood is that they wore spandex, these kids wearing denim. Denim is a harder fabric and retain shape so how the hell are y'all getting in those jeans? I wont flex i don't wear baggy jeans I wear fitted jeans, Levis 514s to be exact (I'm a skinny nigga) . Anyone that really knows me I went away and lost a lot of weight so I threw on some Levi 511 jeans that was ordered by mistake and I must say OMG them joints hurt my meat something awful. That's where I get lost cause 511s ain't the skinniest you can get. What the hell going on? I blame Jim Jones. Believe it or not when Dip Set said they we're trend setters it was true. They started the whole rock star ed hardy thing that I despise by the way. I have to assume that the west grabbed it and was like how can we can take it to the next level? Hmmmm I know lets get extra colorful and make our jeans tighter. Get the heck out of here! Y'all niggas look like queers real talk. Like real question how can you carry a wallet or a iPhone or sidekick? If y'all could get a yest infection you'd have severe cases. It may seem like I'm bitching/hating if so oh well. The thing is niggas that's into this fad start to create this image of coolness then the females starting to think its cute. I'm sorry male camel toes is not where it's at. Am I wrong? Let me know.

    I feel you on where you're coming from. As a woman, I'm not really into looking at a man who's jeans fit tighter than mine...and I wear some skinny jeans, lemme tell u. I do like a man who can wear a closer fit and still have room to move around in. I've never been a fan of baggy jeans and sagging down to your ankles. Not cute. I'm not too much younger than you are so I understand what you mean, I look at some teenagers now-a-days like, "what are you wearing??" However, we have to think about it too, NWA and a slew of other 80's very early 90's rappers wore the very fitted jean, then baggy jeans took over with a vengance and now we're kinda back where it started. It's a cycle...let's just hope it runs full circle soon.
