My wife loves hers, and she looks great in them. The problem is, way too many women who shouldn’t wear something that tight wear them.. :->

I wonder if Obama will run an ad saying that those women don’t know how to use a computer.

Did they just escape from a concentration camp?

They have that “look” that you see on skinny drug addicts.

Something unhealthy about them. All I can say is “yuck”.

""The middle one is not guilty."

The one in that first pic looks like she just found out the camera man shot her mother. The one in the third pic looks like the camera man could be holding up a pic of Helen Thomas.

And yes, I agree that the one in the middle couldn't have ever possibly committed any crimes.

Man o man! When I see women like that all I want to do is throw them to the ground and......force feed them a sandwich.

Meh...not that they don’t look good, but I like ladies who wear skirts and dresses. Sadly, it’s a quality that’s tough to find these days.

I’m game as long as they aren’t ultra-low-rise like most skinny fit jeans. I hate applying for a plummer’s license every time I sit down or bend over...

a) I’m not fond of any “Goth”; didn’t know there was an “’80s” version.

b) Some of these aren’t as bad because they have more ‘80s look, generally (not “goth”).

c) What comes down the line in fashion shows is not the same as mainstream reality, so this really doesn’t count as telling us anything.

The middle 1 looks nasty. Especially considering she’s NOT wearing serious make-up.

Anyway, LOL at Helen Thomas - who has a pix, please? LOL
