Skinny jeans humor on the Disney Channel?

Okay, I know skinny jeans are in, but seriously, why do we pressure ourselves into them? Yes, I have a pair, but I can actually breathe in them and they aren’t ultra tight. I do not have to lie down to zip them up. I refuse to wear anything that requires that much work! And really, the ultra tight fitting jeans can only be worn by a limited few. So, who is dictating this fashion pain?

Last night, as I was pondering what to blog about, my daughter couldn’t miss what was supposed to be the big cliff hanger for Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel. I watch the Disney Channel for two reasons. First, I want to make sure what my daughter is watching is appropriate, and two, some of the shows are pretty clever. Now, you would think Hannah Montana and other teen pop stars would wear and promote the hottest fashion, but on the show after Hannah Montana, called Sonny with a Chance, they totally made fun of skinny jeans and it was hilarious!

Sonny, who is played by Demi Lovato can pull off physical comedy that’s reminiscent of Gilda Radner from SNL. Her co-star Tiffany Thornton who plays the self-centered Tawni Hart decides in this episode to launch her own line of “extreme skinny jeans”.

In order for all the cast members to participate in a fundraiser, Tawni makes them wear her new jeans that require a “butt horn” to get into them. Barely being able to walk or sit, they all came down with a condition called “SPS” skinny pant syndrome. One by one, they fell to the ground with leg paralysis. All were taken to the hospital where the jeans had to be cut off of them. They ended the show with a song which included the lyrics, “Time to stop the hate and let your legs circulate,” while sporting loose fitting pants. Even my husband was laughing.

So, think about it. The next time you’re lying on the floor trying to get in or out of your jeans, remember, there may be teens out there with more common sense and a better sense of style. Isn’t that scary? Check out what's new at myXjeans.com.
