"A tiny town in South Florida is making news today because its ban on sagging pants--backed by 70% of the population last summer--is facing some legal battles. Turns out we might all be entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of baring our bums, after all. Since the ordinance passed, 20 young men have been charged with &amp;quot;wearing trousers low enough to reveal skin or underwear.&amp;quot; Now a couple of public defenders are trying to argue that sagging pants are all part of freedom of expression, and things are starting to get ugly. Reading the New York Times article about it this morning made me wonder...if in fact the ordinance holds up and the law can tell us how to wear our pants, what other fashion faux pas would I love to see punished by someone other than the fashion police!? THE MUFFIN TOP: The only (only!) instance I want to see anything called a muffin top is when it&amp;#x27;s 9am, I&amp;#x27;m at Sarabeth&amp;#x27;s Kitchen, and a fresh batch of blueberry pecan has just emerged from the oven. Otherwise, I&amp;#x27;d happily vote to slap anyone caught with theirs hanging out with a hefty fine. THE WHALE TAIL: I hate pesky panty lines as much as the next girl but please...keep it in your pants! I think instead of being fined, offenders of the anti-exposed-thong law should have to attend fashion school where they&amp;#x27;re introduced to such innovative new items as...the belt! Maybe we could get Tim Gunn to teach it? What other hideous fashion mistakes would you like to see outlawed? Let the list begin... And check out more fashion faux pas here, here, and here!
