There is not much commentary that needs to accompany this picture I managed to snap in Hollywood other than a. These are unquestionably the skinniest legs on a man I have ever seen and b. If you did in fact have legs of such a shockingly small circumference, why would you choose black (a naturally slimming color) skinny jeans?
Now that I'm on the topic of jeans, I need to express a little of the culture shock I have experienced since living in LA this summer. I have to say that though it was not easy, I had just begun to adjust to the commonality of boys in Wranglers (see photo below) since my move to Austin, Texas in 2006. This alone probably deserves its own blog post, but I'll save that for a rainy day. Very quickly, I want to pose the question of how a place roughly 1,300 miles from another can yield such a different style of pant?
Lastly, being a frequenter of this style of jean myself, I was a bit startled a few weeks back when discovering that a condition known as "tingling thigh syndrome" exists. CNN claims this nerve condition can happen when constant pressure — in this case, from the skin-tight denim — cuts off the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, causing a numb, tingling or burning sensation along the thigh. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30870617/
Maybe Wranglers aren't so bad after all...
*Side-note- This photo was taken the morning after one of my roommates sleepovers sophomore year. How the jeans resulted in this position is an unsolved mystery,
It's like the man in those pants just disappeared. It's like that Left Behind shit.
