What’s with the high pants?

I know you ladies may like them and I’m sure they’re the “in” winter fashion, but I’m not liking what I’m seeing with these high pants out here.

(Ok, her’s actually look decent, but we all know why Keyes needs that. She’s one ham sammich away yall, just one)

It’s just an epidemic.

They are not sexy to me, and isn’t that all the really matters? Hmm, don’t get me wrong, some people make it work. Look at Kim Kardashian working these joints:

Lovely. But they don’t come off nearly as nice on others. Ole Ms. Can’t dance Rihanna goes to it all the time and I’m just not impressed.

So does Kelly Rowland.

See, I like my Kelly Ro with as low rise as the rise can go. Now tell me she doesn’t look better here than she did before:

Hard to argue with that. How about lower.. definitely gotta take it low!

Silky smooth yall, silkay smoove! At any rate, I guess they’re kind of novel on yall, but it’s just like everything else the look will be high jacked by terrible broads and turned into a cover up for chicks who are trying to get over:

(Umm well, in this shot it’s ok, but I can tell that she just didn’t make it with this get up in person.  How do I know she didn’t?  Believe me, I know, I know.)

Or worse, because we all know it will lead to the inevitable.

(Ah-ha, hush that fuss, errybody move to the back of the bus, Geez)

Bottom line, tight is right. If you’re big, you need to keep the clothes as close to your body as possible, lest you end up looking like a mack truck walking up into the club. If you’re thin, you just look like you’re lost up in that outfit when you go high pants or baggy dress. Take it from Christina Milian:

Now that’s how you rock a dress. Love ya babe.

The fellas here at Us Versus Them don’t like to make broad generalizations, but when we see trends we like to point them out. I’ve seen a new one and need to bring it to everyone’s attention. Now usually this occurs during the winter, when people are all wrapped up and you can get away with the extra chili on the fries. It is the beginning of summer and people need to keep their game tight.

Exhibit 1:

Ms. Kelly Clarkson. She was one of the inaugural admittees into the thick white chick hall of fame with her soaking wet performance of “Since you been gone” a few years ago. Now she is muffin toppin’ up out of those tight jeans. She is doing her angle work on the right to try to keep it tight, but Lake isn’t going to like seeing one of his favorites go out like this.

Exhibit 2:

Lil Kim at the BET Awards last night. This actually isn’t a bad picture if you saw it live, it was actually much worse than what was here. Just because you pull the shirt down enough and the pants up high enough to create a flat part of your stomach, it doesn’t mean it is flat babydoll. You still nasty though, I’ll just remember the XXL cover a few years back when I think about you.
