Cammy Craze

I have to admit, the other day I bought some new camouflage Capri pants and I LOVE them! Now if I ever need to hide in the forest, I’d successfully avoid detection.

That is, unless they catch the glare off my white legs. (Not sure who the hypothetical "they" are... but you can bet they're really scary and being detected would probably be a bad thing. Take my word for it.)

It was weird though, AFTER I bought the pants I noticed that every second person is wearing camouflage!!! Dammit. (You know, kind of like how you didn't realize how many of a certain type of car are out there until you and your boyfriend break up and then you see 'his' car everywhere.) Anyways, I really didn’t mean to jump on the cammy craze bandwagon. I hate bandwagons! When it comes to fashion, I guess I'd rather folly than follow. Not saying that's a good thing...

So today I figured out why people are crazy about the cammy and it’s not because you can successfully hide in the forest. It IS because of the camouflaging nature of the garment, however. You see, everything is camouflaged by these magic pants… the mud that splattered up on my ass this morning from my bike, the chocolate I sat in on my chair, the coffee I spilled on myself after lunch…

I LOVE these pants!!!

Good point! The ass camouflage!!!

Well, I can't see myself from behind... but the pants do a look a bit like they're hanging on a hanger, camouflaging everything underneath. A large jiggly bulbous hanger, mind you...

CAn't say I've ever been into the whole camouflage look...Too much GI Joe.

I had my first camouflage pants in high school - made infamous by "The Clash" - they were great for concealing booze or snacks in the pockets

for some reason the only person who keeps thinking her butt is big is mish, i think she should quit looking at herself.

no, I think she has a big butt too.

This butt thing is becoming tiresome. I can't even talk about my new pants without someone getting on the butt brigade AGAIN. There must be something to it then. Am I right?

And it's not just the largeness I have a problem with btw... Most people would agree if they saw me neked, that my ass is floppy and misshapen.

That's all I will say about it...

Oh and by the way Nate, do you remember when I tried on the high-waisted jeans when looking for a Halloween costume? You were shocked at how bad my ass CAN look! Yes indeed folks, when you see me on a day to day basis, you have no way of knowing how many thousands of jeans I tried on before finding the ass-acceptable ones I happen to be wearing. I swear I've had 20 pair in Winners dressing room (or even American Eagle, what's with those jeans?) and not ONE looked halfway acceptable.

Anywho. I'm sure there are much better and much worse asses out there.

For now, I will just try not to look at it.
