Trending..
A trend used to be something that you felt in your throat and stomach, elevating the wearer to a little invisible floating pedestal carried on a cloud of desire. These days things seem a lot more transient, celebrity/media driven..and now they call it trending…
One trend I have never got my head round is guys wearing their trousers round their thighs aping inmates in US prisons. What is that all about? I understand, nay appreciate the glimpse of a band of a mens underwear (clean, not y-fronts) but your whole bottom? Too much information..and why would anyone want to make their body longer and legs shorter to increase their ability to walk like a penguin? Darwin would not be amused.
Of course this has come back to bite me in my own proverbial as my youngest, Charlie aged 3 (birthday next week) is incapable of keeping his trousers up. In fact I was a spectator in the episode below.. I hope it comes across as to quite how much he was playing to his audience.. like a strutting peacock…
The man walking down the road is a neighbour. His eyes nearly popped out. By the time we got to his friend’s house a few more doors down they were down by his ankles. And he still didn’t pull them up!

Ha, adorable young man:D
He’s certainly a character..
Perhaps Charlie has a future as a rapper?
A rapper..or a porn star. Should I be worried?
Try reciting that old standby:
“I see London, I see France.
I see Charlie’s underpants!”
Maybe I can get him to rap it..!
One of my daughters spent the best part of a year wearing nothing but a lilac tutu and red wellies.
On that basis I should be very grateful!..good job Charlie can’t read…
I think this is hilariously true!! No one wants to see that!! But I think I have some reasoning on why men do this.
We all have heard of “ideal” body proportions (I know, I hate to be summed up as measurements), and while for women it is to aim for shorter torsos and longer legs, it is actually the opposite for boys. Apparently the ideal leg percentage is to be around 40-ish% and under for men.
Weird right? I know. I guess society thinks shorter legs are masculine… -.-x
This is not to say people are unattractive if they don’t have these ratios! I think people should love their bodies no matter what!
So we haven’t moved on from apes?!…it’s nothing to do with penguins..and ‘man-hunter he can run through forest on long masculine legs to kill food for woman’ is not attractive..he can – but only in little tiny steps. But very fast… I’m going to need a little time to digest this..
HAHA! yes! He has to move his short legs super fast!! maybe he can use his arms too…. I’m just kidding.
It really is a strange concept…
here’s the link where I learned about leg-length ratios a while back:

I had a look..interesting reading! I’ve come to the conclusion that statistics can be made to prove anything and that I will take my man big and long. All over. !!!
As a mother of two boys I totally loved {and chuckled} reading about Charlie’s little escapade}…
in true “boy” fashion he was doing his part to live out the words of that little quote…
“Mischief, giggles, fun + love–that’s what little boys are made of.”…
and of course, he was doing his best {as most boys do}…
at the mischief + fun part—enjoy 😉
PS Thanks so much for the evening smile~ xo
xxx mischief is his middle name…
Adorable
