"It never fails, I rummage through my favorite stores at the mall, and low and behold, there they are on the rack, nicely folded, all in a row according to size and style, Jeans! Should I shop juniors or misses, I don't know let me just try to find my size. 1 short , 3 Regular, 5 long no, no, no... Ah there we go 9 Long or Tall (whatever) Yes, I'll take these, and these, oh and i'll try these skinny jeans. Hmmm where the dressing room. ah here.
O.K. here we go, the hard part, one leg, two leg, ok that wasn't so bad. Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, jump and wiggle, jump and wiggle. Whew, a little tight. hmmm they look good on my legs nice, ok now alittle more, Stop... wait...did my thighs grow 10 inches what is going on, Well these won't work lets try the other ones( see I always bring more than one pair in). These seem a little looser (even though they are the same size). up up and away, alrighty lets try to button breath in, hold it, hold it, almost there,and...snap I got it, breath out. Now lets look at the full 360. Panic! is that crackage I see, ooh horrible. Im done, im out of here, you have just lost my service, and I don't even want to think about a cute top. Im just going to wipe the sweat off my brow and walk out with what little dignity I have left. PAUSE....
You see this is my life, i'm 5'9", and im African American,a double negative when it comes to jeans. Im 25 years old , a mother of two, and I only weigh about 145lbs.(quite an accomplishment if I do say so myself) Yet there are no jeans out there for me. I just want to cry. The problem is my booty, and my height. Now this may not sound like a problem to the untrained eye, or ear, but walk a mile im my jeans, and discover a world of dissapointment and dismay. I don't have alot of money for the boutiques and high end stores so im forced to shop retail, and department stores. I belive I own 3 pair of jeans and only two of them fit. Its a crime. HELP!!!!!"

I feel your pain. I too have spent hours trying on pair after pair, only to leave the store jeanless and frustrated. As a new mother myself, I have just about given up on finding the perfect pair of jeans. I have lost most of the baby weight, except 5 lbs. My problem, new post-baby hips that just look wide in everything. Keep searching for that perfect pair of jeans I'm sure they are out there, somewhere... Keep hope alive and represent for all of us 20 something mothers!

Don't fret, it will get better as time goes on. Your booty will get smaller and everything will slide off. Now lets think about it, which is better?

I'd be willing to bet there are people out there who wish they had your "problem"! :-) Hope you're able to find some great jeans that fit just right!

Oh Elisa,
I'm your mom and I didn't know you had such issues... just like me, no wonder. I hope you find your true jeans by winning this contest and get jeans that fit that booty of yours. You are alright in my book, booty and all.
