bookmark_borderHello jean manufacturers/designers and retailers: I have a job but my ass is too fat for you…

Today I was fondling some Dondup jeans at Lileo in the Distillery District. Nice jeans — too bad they were so teeny that even new somewhat slender me didn’t have a hope in hell of getting them on.

So annoying as they were only $375.

I’d never been to this store before. They carry high end Japanese and European jeans among many other beautiful and expensive things. I was in fashion heaven.

Now I can’t afford a closet full of jeans that cost more than my first car but I can afford a pair or two. And I would buy them, too. I am a jeans slut.

But no. Not for still chubby-assed me. None of the high end jeans (with the exception of Seven which I have) come my size.

I am pretty much average sized for my age here at home and I’m downright slender in the United States but I still must compromise on jeans.

This is wrong and I won’t stand for it any longer.

I am not a Junior Trendsetter yet today I was compelled to try on some skinny-assed jeans at Winners. They were really cute — designer cute and cheap.

One one hand, they reminded of the pegged pants of my youth.

On the other hand, they also reminded me that it has been about 25 years since I belonged in this particular section of a department store.

They fit but I looked like an idiot.
