Skinny Jeans are back? This has to be a joke

First thought? This has to be a joke. Second thought... this has the potential to be both tragic AND funny. You know there is a neverending supply of fashion victims who will be buying these and will wear them even though they are EXTREMELY uncomortable. So, there should be some rules to wearing them...

  • Under 25 only please. Sorry, if you're older than this (like me) just don't bother. Unless...
  • ... you happen to have the legs of a prepubescent boy. Even then, think twice before shelling out $340 online at Barneys
  • If you're fat and you wear these, it's on. You don't get points for bravery or being uncomfortable. We're going to mercilessly rip on you. Sorry.
  • I'm sticking with a happy medium... not too skinny, not too wide. I may be out of style, but I'm 31 and I've actually got muscle on my thighs and a burning desire NOT to let the world know if I'm circumcised while walking down the street.

    I used to wear skinny jeans at school and all of the 'cool' kids in baggy trousers used to bully me for it, now they are all wearing skinny jeans and laughing at me for wearing regular mature trousers. What can I say? They need to grow up.
