Good grief, no. I never said that. If you like the pants, great - buy them and wear them in great health and super fantasticness, as our hostesses say. But don’t give the man any credit for doing women some great, amazing favor.

” If he’s creating clothes for women, it’s because he wants their money”

And all those other companies are out to sell stuff and make a profit because they’re great humanitarians?

I don’t understand why Nelly’s efforts to do anything for women are laudable. Seriously, have you seen his videos? This man HATES women. If he’s creating clothes for women, it’s because he wants their money, or wants the satisfaction of seeing women clamor for his product, not because he’s in any way benevolent or thoughtful.

(I’m a size 16 with a 10 inch waist/hip difference, too, and I suffer badly from the dreaded waistband gap. I’m a leeeeettle too small for Right Fit blues, but Eddie Bauer Shaped jeans fit really well. The waist is a pants size smaller than the hip and they are glorious.)

Not a fan of Nelly, but I do applaud his efforts in trying to create stylish clothing for the curvier women out there. What I do not applaud is that all of the “intimates” are modeled by thinner, more visually appealing women. What…big girls can’t wear silly metallic ruffle thongs too? ;)

I disagree that Sonnet 43 is tired - the first line have become cliched, but in the context of the entire poem, it’s beautiful.

I’m not sure it’s possible to separate clothing from in provenance (in this case, Nelly) so I don’t think I’d buy these. Unless I find a pair that fits really, really well . . .

I have a couple pears of AB jeans and I love them! They have a great fit and they make my ass look good! Baby Phat’s, AB’s, and Levis boot cuts are my fave denims.

I have 4 or 5 pair of Apple Bottom jeans - with the purchase of these jeans I not only received good fit but they also included a bum with them - so for this flat a@@ girl I dont care what kind of writing is on the back as long as they continue to send the bum included with the jeans!!

Several years ago I watched a documentary of sorts involving Nelly and his search for the perfect Miss Apple Bottom. I was not impressed by it, and it bothered me so much that there’s just no way I’d purchase any of those jeans. Not even if I were Bonita Applebaum.

That style is a definite pass. I applaud Nelly’s effort, but my taste is much more conservative than that.
