OK, so I have this beloved pair of very old, very tight jeans. Months ago, a small frayed tear appeared in the crotch, about where you would expect one to appear given normal wear and tear. I didn't mind this, because you'd have to really look closely to see it, and because I enjoyed poking my finger through it during class and, well, making class time go more quickly!
That had the result, however, of enlarging the hole, to the point that even latent-exhibitionist me was reluctant to wear these jeans in public, except over swimsuits at the beach. I still wore them at home, and normal wear and tear kept making the rip bigger.
This week, after pulling the jeans out of the wash, I was forced to admit that the whole crotch of the jeans is now pretty much open to anyone who wants to look, or feel, or insert something. Intriguing as that is, I decided it was time to retire this pair, tear 'em up into household rags or something.
But before I do that, I thought I'd ask all you sexy people whether there's a better option. Don't say, "make cutoffs out of 'em" ... even the tightest, shortest cutoffs imaginable would have denim exactly where these jeans do NOT have denim. If I cut off the legs of these jeans, and wore them, I'd be bottomless.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks for reading. -- Gwen, 22/f/Alabama
