Holly got ready.
Ready for something she hasn’t done in years.
Holly realized that she had only
one pair of jeans that fit well. She had no choice but to go shopping for
another pair.
Why has Holly not been jean shopping for years?
Maybe because last time she went shopping for jeans she
entered the store as
a confident woman and
exited the store as
a huddled mass yearning to be free of her obvious body disfigurements.
For you see, in
non-jean-shopping-life Holly is OK with her body. She is not in love with her shape, but has accepted it and moves on…
Yet for some reason, in
jean-shopping-life all that changes.
Holly’s
non-jean-shopping THIGHS are OK, but her
jean-shopping THIGHS appear like over-stuffed, dimpled sausage.
Holly’s
non-jean-shopping WAIST is OK, but her
jean-shopping WAIST creates plumber-effect.
In
non-jean shopping-life Holly never met a tailor. In
jean-shopping-life Holly has never met a pair of jeans that didn’t require a skilled one.
Holly recruited a friend for moral support.
Holly wasn’t sure about the morality, but could really use the support.
Soon Holly was back in a dressing room with an ever-growing pile of ill-fitting jeans.
*Hold me*
Just about the time Holly was about to slip into her pre-existing Post-Traumatic Jean Shopping Syndrome, the sales clerk asked her to try on one more pair.
Holly tried on the jeans.
Holly was puzzled.
Something was different.
Very different.
The jeans fit.
*cue the angel choir*
Where did you find these jeans that fit so perfectly?
The men’s department.
Yep.
In
jean-shopping-life Holly is a
boy.

I *might* just be your body double. Sheesh. Buying jeans is a nightmare. I laughed. (I nearly cried!).
L
the only jeans i can wear are wrangler’s. original fit. nothing *full* or *relaxed* or *cowboy cut* for me. original fit…ONLY
I used to wear men’s jeans. I don’t know why…I’ve always been curvy.
I’m SO not reading all of the comments to see if someone else said this, BUT…
I wore men’s jeans for years. Okay, boys jeans if you want to know the truth. Until they came out with low waist jeans. Ultra low waist were even better!
I SO understand being built like a boy. I even have the flat chest to prove it! :O)
I can totally relate to Holly. My body is not the “perfect” shape either and I have tried and tried to find some jeans that really fit. Great story and the pictures were good too!
its really funny
i love jeans….where ever i go i always wearing jeans
Haha..funny stuff! So I was wondering! I added you on FB over a month ago and you have yet to accept me,but everyday I see you accepting new people? Why is that? So confused. Can’t be something I did or said cause I don’t know you. Maybe it’s the way I look?? Am I not good looking enough..eek. I shall work on it. Confused?!?!? MJ
I have the same problem…tiny waist and curvy *ahem* thighs. The closest I’ve come to the perfect jean is the skinny jean from Gap. I did’t think I could rock them but they’re actually pretty flattering and they don’t fall down to my knees at the end of the day. Bonus? They come in long lengths! (I don’t know if you’re tall, but for me at 5’10” long jeans are a must!)
I see that the man of Viagra felt like you needed something else male-oriented. Silly spammers. I love animated Holly, she makes me smile, men’s jeans and all. 🙂
