Over at Buddah’s Den they’re talking about, um, “super-sized” people wearing tight clothing. It reminded me of a wee little phrase I coined the other day while talking to Heidi about that very subject.

Regarding the phenomenon of McWomen who wear the tiny tiny halter tops with tight low rise jeans and the accompanying bulge it creates which overlaps said low risers:

It is… are you ready for it?

THE FANNYPACK O’ FAT.

Yes, children. Whether you’ve stared in amazement or attempted to divert your eyes- you’ve noticed it. And now it’s most likely burned into your memory banks- the FannyPack O’ Fat. A not-so-subtle tribute to horrible fashion. Similar to an inside out kangaroo pouch, it sits in defiance of modern standards of both beauty and decency.

Who could have guessed that today’s trend of show-your-unmentionables style jeans would spawn a monument to what some have considered the reason the 80’s had to end- those horrible butt-purses that no one could decide where to put. Front, back, or brazenly slung to the side? Who cares- they look ridiculous and make people think of MC Hammer.

Anyway, I digress. You guys just chew on that celu-lovley mental picture I’ve created.

You’re welcome.

Ok fat women, here’s the deal. I have the legs of a 90 year old malnourished Ethopian woman with scurvy, therefore I don’t go around wearing spandex bicycle shorts. In return, if you have what I would categorize as anywhere from an FO-DD body type (Fat Oprah-Dom DeLuise), you are restricted from wearing any of the following clothing: cut off shirts, tank tops (or any other overly tight or see through shirts/sweaters), shirts/sweaters with plunging necklines, cut off shorts, open toe shoes, excessive make-up, or low rise jeans. Appropriate clothing includes, but is not limited to: specially made oversized turtlenecks, moo-moos, ankle-length dresses, snow boots, and only when absolutely necessary, shorts at least 1 1/2 feet in length (depending on height). If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
