The pregnant look is in!

(Disclaimer: no pregnant women were harmed in the writing of this post)

I would not call myself a fashion expert but often I see fashions so bizarre that I have to question the very nature and purpose of them. One such style is the "empire waist" (see picture above) or as I call it the chest strangulation look. I am sure it may have many pros like: comfort, convenience or maybe even artists expression. That being said, the cons include: susceptibility to strong gusts of wind, the appearance of being strangled around your chest, and the pregnant look. Now those ladies of modest girth may get away with such fashion folly, but those of much more generous proportion simply take us into the dark abyss of uncertainty. Is she pregnant or not? Now regardless of the answer to that, why would you want to possibly look pregnant? Gosh, every time is see a woman wearing these outfits I feel like the next thing they will be doing is handing out baby shower invitations.Why should the burden be placed upon me to decide if you look pregnant or not? If you are that desperate there are many documented methods of achieving such a state. Some have had as many as eight at a time. So you don't have to look like it, you can be it.

Maybe there is some new screening process I am unaware of? Is the pregnant look the in thing now? Is it the new mullet? Are boys mentally telling themselves, “she looks hot, but if she is not pregnant then I'm not interested!!”

Some take it a step further and get the medieval-like chest belt worn slightly below the bosom. After all the advancements in women's rights how can we be endorsing this contemporary chastity belt. If anything, these women look oppressed by their outfit even on the most sunny and delightful of days. How does the belt even stay up there? My head hurts just thinking about it........so ladies leave the maternal look to the pregnant women you are really cramping their style!!
