Wordpress Post - On Pants and Fat Shaming

[ecto_gammat]

New WP post. I believe the title says it all, but if you believe this post deserves a trigger warning, please let me know and I'll add one.

*Hugs* Way to go for telling your mum off. I've never had a problem with my body, but a whole lot of other people apparently have. And I have this weird paranoia that other people think I don't look good - not that I don't look good, just that other people are judging me. Blegh. World needs less people.

Also: fucking thigh seams. I destroy those all the freaking time. You would think that areas of friction would be reinforced in some way.

Amen to the thigh seams. My pants last about a year before holes start wearing, and that should be at least double that >

Mine are getting to about that life, though it was worse back when I was addicted to wearing cargo pants - denim just holds up so much better. Though, a friend who knows too much about clothing once told me that jeans are only designed to last about four months. Balls to that.

Maybe four months when we were riding horses, rustling cattle, and herding sheep. Jeeze. I always thought denim was designed to be worn repeatedly without washing and still hold up well. I don't know, but I feel like if i google it, I'll end up in a sea of links o___O

I guess there's a difference between working jeans and fashion jeans. I've also heard that jeans are only meant to be washed once a week (which suits me fine, because I am so lazy at washing things), because they stretch over the week and washing them shrinks them back down to size each time. Jeans were also one of the gifts given to the baby Jesus by the three wise men, but he never wore them because Jesus was a free-baller.
