Stirrups are, um…back?
Sorry to stir-up some bad mojo but I had to comment on one particular press release I got recently. Apparently a company has come out with removable stirrups. As much as I loved being a little kid in the 80’s, and I loved my stirrup pants – I can not condone this hideous product. Although this blog serves as free advertising for them, I don’t really mind if you go and buy them – I just had to make a point that not everyone agrees with Perez Hilton , that this creation is a positive development of any kind. This product is an obvious attempt by a somewhat skilled marketing team to market really tiny suspenders and nothing more. Blurry photo, crappy packaging, really? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen better products and presentation at the bottom of the Goodwill bins.
The things come in one horrible mixture of colors and I’m sorry – but any positive reviews for this garbage would have to be the result of selling out.
They may be functional as stated, to keep your jeans down while putting on boots, but that is not enough for any fashion conscious person. Black maybe? Have they heard of black? I still think the company somehow ended up with a huge shipment of the worlds ugliest suspenders and decided to make lemons into citric acid – then sprayed it in our eyes. Shame because there are lots of stirrup pants out there at the moment that don’t embarrass the entire 80s.
If you absolutely need a laugh, check them out – Jeanstraps.com , Like I said, I don’t care if people buy them – just know that I don’t approve.
