Yellow Bird: How low should those jeans go???
Tuesday, June 15, 2004

"So what did age have to do with the shocked look on my face when I saw plum-colored, thong-style panties peeking out - make that, staring out - three inches above a teenager's low-cut jeans?

This young woman was sitting at a table, and the sitting position tends to create a problem. That was Monday in the lunch room at UND.

Then there are the young women whose jeans slip ever so slightly, even when they are standing. When they bend, that is a girl with a different story."
