Boyfriend's Trouser!

GAP is running these new ads on TV, for their latest in fashion, this thing they call the 'Boyfriend Trouser'. It has a woman swiping the trousers off her boyfriend and wearing them herself. The idea of the Boyfriend Trouser is basically a pair of trousers that fit perfectly at the waist, but are cut loosely, to look as if the woman is wearing men's pants. Quite cool, I thought, as did a lot of other women I know. They all went and got themselves the 'Trouser.

I, on the other hand, got myself the Boyfriend. Yes, I have always taken things much too literally.

My partner's trousers fit me. Really. This is not a joke. I put them on, the other day, just for a lark, and they sit so beautifully at my waist. They are, of course, cut loosely in the legs, so effectively, they look quite like fashion's latest invention.

I'm still trying to figure out if the joke's on me for being too fat or on him for being too thin. Between the both of us, though, I see there might be some way of saving a fair bit of money while still being on par with the latest in clothes...

(Just for a while, as my sister points out. Up until the time I'm too fat to fit into his pants!)
