"Dunlap Syndrome"



So, lets think about this for a minute.. anyone? Can you guess what horrible tragedy that this is?........ If you watched Oprah a while back you would have heard about it too....DUNLAP SYNDROME!!
The "official" definition of "Dunlap Syndrome" is when your stomach done laps over your jeans! :)
You might also refer to it as "Muffin Top"
Seriously though people, this is something that is so horrible, and not EVEN kind of flattering on ANYONE! I know you're thinking, "well those pictures are trashy girls, and I would never show my skin like that, or look like that.. no my friend, you can look like that even with your shirt covering it all up.. its now just a muffin top with fabric on top! (even better!)
Lets get some pants that actually fit you, and stop trying to wear your jeans so low that your stomach and back fat pop over the sides... "No, not me, I would NEVER do that.." have you looked at yourself from behind?? Because if you notice these pictures are of women from behind, because its an angle that we rarely see.. but guess what, EVERYONE else does!!!
You're trying to fit every inch of you into these jeans, whether they are the size you want to be, or the size you've convinced yourself that you are because they zip up, and that's really all that matters right? Or you've been shopping at stores that all the 15 yr olds shop at, and you just need to move on! Its so crazy how contradicting this is, here women are wanting to be hot, sexy, young, certain size, whatever your thing may be.. and its actually making you look the COMPLETE opposite! You could have an adorable outfit, look fabulous, hair's in place, makeups looking great, no bloating going on.. but THEN you scan down, and see the dreaded stomach hanging out of your pants, and the whole outfit is hideous!
So girls, lets stop these shenanigans and be real about our size, and be real about the fact that maybe, just maybe we should get a good look from behind before we walk out the door today, and save the muffin tops for Panera. :)

  1. As a straight guy, can I say something here? Stop wearing jeans. Just stop. They are cool, they can be sexy, but I would love to see jeans become the exception. Dresses - flowy, pretty, flirty, feminine dresses - can NEVER be the wrong thing to wear as long as it fits.

    Well, OK, if you have to ride a horse or do something that might compromise the relationship your dress has with gravity, then wear jeans. But otherwise, you know...
