Buttcrack Blues

-
I think I may start a campaign in my state for butt crack awareness. I swear - I have never seen so much butt crack in my life as I have in the last few weeks. It's not like I'm looking for it either...it just seems to find me.

Like when I'm walking to the car lot to see a potential client... BUTT crack... or when there may be a girl leaning over cleaning cars...not caring what she's showing to the rest of the world. You guessed it!

Even driving down the road... two workmen fixing cable on the side of the road and showing ...yup, there it is! It's right out there for anyone's viewing pleasure.

But the worst is when I'm at a restaurant... sitting down for a nice meal... and the table next to us... (sigh) butt crack, hanging out for all to see. Please, people. It's not very appetizing.

Now I know I'm not the only one seeing this! Doesn't anyone else mind? And believe me, with the lower jeans I've got in my wardrobe, I know I've had a day or two when I didn't have a shirt long enough to cover. The difference is I'm aware of it and don't make any sudden moves to display myself for all to see. And if I did...then I'd apologize and cover it!

Anyone else out there have any ideas to let these people to know cover it up?

I think butt crack is here to stay until pants start heading back north.

Perhaps a deterrent would be to arm yourself with a pack of sharpened pencils and pop them into offending butt cracks??

Hahaha...I think that may be in these days...especially amongst the 18-21 crowd. I don't get it. Kind of like being arrested for DWI, all the celebrites are doing it. I agree 100%. Maybe just "try" to hide it. It's not as nice as they think it is :o}

I don't think slender peole look good with it showing. When they are fat, and it is hanging out, I want to hurl.

I saw butt crack in Hobby Lobby today. A woman was leaning over her stroller and I guess that she didn't realize that she was letting it all hang out.
Butt crack is bad, but so is front butt:o

Somehow low rise jeans got invented after thongs became popular, then going comando became the rage ( I think because of the perma-wedgies from thongs ) and ta-da...everybody's booty is on display!

I agree with you! It's never going to be cute!!!

I confess that it was intriguing for a few seconds when I was an adult returning to college a couple of years ago. But, as I now see buttcracks everywhere, AND ON PEOPLE THAT SHOULD NEVER EVER SHOW THOSE PARTS OF THEMSELVES, I am with you.

Have fun!

Oh man I can't stand this either. And for some reason it seems worse when a girl does it, like she should be more aware of these things. Maybe telling them to "just say no to crack" will get them thinking about it. I get the underwear that specifies it won't creep out of low rise pants and wear longer shirts when wearing lower pants. I'm sure plenty of people don't realize but the worst is when they know it and like it or just don't care.

I agree that crack is out there, but you highlighted the fact that it resides now not only with men, but with the ladies too. I don't know what they are thinking or if they are just larger folks trying to fit into a size that they managed themselves into 7 years ago and it shows via crack. I hate crack and find it avoidable at least and disgusting at worst.

Maybe the workmen have tool weight their pants down, to help the view a little? I still think they should wear longer shirts....ewww.

Rebecca we should make some shirts with your comment, "Just say no to crack"

I SO agree! In fact, I published an online poem on this overexposure phenomenon, which I dubbed "the inverted grin."

Funny how "fashions" change...A few years ago it was the guys wearing tight jeans and pants with the girls wearing looser fitting clothes. Now, it's the guys who are wearing stuff that looks like it came from a 70's garage sale. I agree with you that Butt Crack and Camel Toes aren't pretty. It just shows a lot of class.....all low!

I'm giggling Auntie K! I can always count on you to cut to the heart of it with wit. Yes, toes are gross...cracks of all sorts are gross!

I will absolutely join your campaign against butt crack. I refuse to believe it's not more than a sad passing trend. I mean, seriously, it's BUTT.CRACK.

Maybe someone out there will think twice now about flashing their crack. Ya think?

Yes, the crack she is EVERYWHERE. Short of gouging your eyes out I don't believe there is a plausible work around.

I like to make comments as if they didn't know, like, "oh, did you know your butt crack is showing?" Or if a woman's breasts is on display (on purpose) I like to respond this way to as if I think they accidently put it out there for all to see!

This is all funny - yet, not really! I too have felt like saying "oops, your pants are falling off" or felt like yanking em down! (I'd get in trouble for sexual harrassment, even though they are indecently exposed!) Good thoughtful topic!

Glad you stopped by and thank you for the comment. I feel like pulling them up by the belt loops!

too funny! my husband is always harping on me about letting my crack show...I assure him that I only let it show at home!!!! (recently I've been buying higher rise jeans and wearing belts!)I am not so careless in public! I figure it is sort of like walking around with your tag out or with toilet paper on your foot...I would want someone to tell me, so I figure I'll tell them!!! But of course, how???? "Yo, your butt is showing and no one wants to see it!" LOL!

hahaha! Oh how I hate the butt crack and it's systemic. When I was working at a university in Canada I was horrified about all of the students with their muffin tops and low rider jeans, butt crack in full view. Then I noticed it was common with some of the staff as well!

*shudder*

So what's wrong with it? I love to wear those ultra low rise jeans, and yes ppl obviously can see my ass hanging out when i'm sitting. When you don't like it, don't look at it!

Well, I agree with you in that I don't like seeing butt crack on guys or girls. But unfortunately, as someone who was blessed with a very high crack himself, I am constantly suffering from plumber's Butt. I know it's gross, I've tried everything to keep it from happening but somehow nothing seems to work. So I've sort of given up and realized it's just the way it's gonna be. For a while it really bothered me but then I thought to myself "So people can see my butt--there's worse things that could happen." My friends and family have learned to accept me, butt crack and all.

That said, I do feel bad for others who have to see it. And I apolgize to you personally, wornoutwoman, since I'm probably one of the people whose butt crack you've seen on the street and been grossed out by!

What is wrong with you people? Any red blooded American boy with a heart beat should love to see a women with part of her ass exposed. I know it's popular to say "I hate crack", but you know it makes something stir inside you. I love it when a women decides to share a glimpse of her behind with me! Long live the low rise.

James - no need to apologize. I wrote this in jest that day, as it just seemed to find me wherever I went. I know it is something that just happens to all of us from time to time. We all have one. LOL

It's called a S-T-O-P sign for a reason people!

You guessed it. That's my poor little Passat up there smashed in. At 3:30 CST a 20-year-old kid, driving an O'rielly's Auto Parts truck, wasn't smart enough to read those red octagonal signs that instruct you to stop. Wait let me say that louder, STOP! Today I was hit by a kid who couldn't read or follow basic traffic law. I'm drained and I want to go to sleep. I'm sure it's all the adrenaline that's now left my system, which is leaving me feeling so tired. The thing that amazed me was how cavalier this kid was. He could have cared less than he hit me. He made it seem like it was my fault that he pulled out from a stop sign and ran into the side of my car. How stupid does he think the police officer was? There was no damage to the front of my car, so when he said, "She came out of nowhere!" it wasn't a likely story. Especially when it was clear he had run into my passenger door and scraped up the side of my car. My hu

Facing Redemption

-
The sequel to Finding Kylie is called Facing Redemption. I'm twelve chapters in and am so ready to finish. When writing Finding Kylie, I would dream of different scenes or character traits and wake up, knowing what direction I needed to head with my next chapter. So far with this book, I've not dreamt as much at night but can't stop daydreaming. I need to pull my head out of the clouds and focus on my own life a little more. Lately, it seems all I eat, drink, and sometimes sleep is this sequel. I think mostly because every time I turn around I've been getting emails, phone calls, and questions from readers of 'Finding Kylie' wanting to know 'when the next book will be out.' It's exciting to know they've fallen in love with my characters so much that they're chomping at the bit to have closure on some of the things I've left open-ended with the first book. It means I'm making a difference with my writing. I've impacted

Mother's Day Surprise

I got this for Mother's Day along with a big three-ring binder of photos and artwork that my son has compiled all through PRE-K. It was the most touching gift he's given to date, in his five years. Even though his PRE-K teacher orchestrated taking all the pics through the school year and organizing all his artwork, it was still all my son's favorite pieces and shots. I loved it. I love that he thinks I'm fourteen feet tall, which he says it's all leg by the way. He even drew me that way. I love that he remembers my age and my favorite color. I love that he still loves my kisses. I hope he never outgrows that, but I know he will. After giving it to me, he told me he loved my hair put up but thought it would be prettier with more ponytails. He ran and grabbed more colorful rubber bands and asked me to put them on in the places he pointed to. "I want a pink one ... there. I want the blue one ... there." He looked at me when I'd finished a
