hehe, love this: “…wear a sweet pair of knickers along with the low rise. They’ll stick out above the waistband, covering the cleavage, and adding an interesting textural dimension to your ensemble.”

April Fool!

Hilarious, Angie! Thanks for making me smile this morning. ( :

You get me every year! Just when I think you’ve lost it, the little lightbulb in my head goes off. Very funny.

He he, what an entertaining April 1st joke It is thanks to your article that I have realized what date it is today.

haha! Good one! (Too bad we actually see this in everyday life!)

I had no idea this was a joke until I noticed the date. I was horrified to think that this was actually going to be a fashion and that we would all grow accustomed to the look and sport with attitude. I was waiting for suggestions as to wherea to get the underwear. You are funny Angie, my first YLF April fools!

I almost forgot what day it was… I was about to write “oh, Angie, how could you.” April Fools!

whew! thanks goodness it’s just April Fools!!! I was ready to go to battle :)

haha, i thought this would have to be the first time i’d get mean on the forum! phewwww. thank goodness. good one angie! almost as good as the great crocs prank of ‘08

I didn’t understand that you were joking until I read “…when I model my outfits and post them next week.” It would be an amusing post, though!

Thanks for the laugh Angie.

Snort! It took me until the second paragraph to remember it was April Fool’s Day. What a lovely photo – I have spewed coffee all over my computer.

“Sporting it with sass” made me laugh out loud! Thanks, Angie!

I totally fell for the joke! I kept rereading the part where you endorse the look. Great joke!!!

*Snorting and chuckling* Thanks for the day brightener. The picture is a scream!

Angie, I thought you had lost your mind, especially when I saw the picture! I couldn’t even imagine that you would wear this! Then I remembered the date! Good one!

Nice!

OMG!!!! if there was a camera here to see my face…I was disgusted! shoot! happy April Fool’s Day!

Phew, was scared there for a minute until I remembered what day it is. Thanks for the laugh.

Only you could come up with this!! Totally laughing! Have a great day!

Ha! Well done, Angie! You got me.

It took me a second to realize this was an April Fool’s joke b/c I could see something like this actually happening. But then my brain kicked in, and I realized that you had way too much class to be promoting such a thing, even if it was a real fad.

Thanks for the smile!

HAHAHAHA! I was just going OH MY GOSH she’s gone round the bend! This was great!

Man I SERIOUSLY bought this. So gullible! Well played, Miss Angie.

This has to be the best April Fool’s post so far! You made my day

I had to remember what day this is as I was reading. You almost made me have an apoplexy or whatever it is you always say

I was rolling out of my chair with this one. You modeling the new look really takes the cake! After last year I have been trying to guess since last night what you would come up with this year. I wasn’t even close but nothing I thought of was this hilarious.

You got me!!

Sporting bottom cleavage with sass and loads of confidence — now that will be the day! Thanks for the chuckle, you have brightened my day

Thank goodness today is April 1! I almost fell out of my chair. This was a great start to the day! Thanks so much for the great laugh!!! I would pay good money to see you sport this look with sass!

You had me for a second! That is so funny

Whew! I thought I was in bizarro world. Too funny!

You had me ’til “cute”

HAHAHAHAHA. Oh yeah, you got me.

The picture is especially perfect.

april fools to you too Angie! he he

Happy April 1st to you too!

But Angie – you didn’t mention if this was “age-appropriate” for us gals over 40.

I think the woman in the picture looks adorable! I myself like to sport a little bottom cleavage from time to time. Why do you guys think it’s a joke?

Angie, I’m looking forward to your post. I’m sure we’ll all learn loads and the rest of us won’t be far behind. Bottoms up!

Tara – it is only age-appropriate if you wear knickers that match the rest of your outfit

Another idea: bottom cleavage with dark-rinse jeans will soon become work-appropriate!

Happy April Fool day! I love this post as much as loved the crocs’ one in 2008!

Thanks Angie!

You had me going there- I had a dropped jaw, thinking nooooooo! Can you imagine trying to make this “age appropriate”?
Good one, Angie.

Happy April Fools!

Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh Angie. You have a wicked sense of humor.
I already realized it was April Fool’s Day when I woke up to SNOW falling here on the penninsula.

Oh goodness! I was just NOT awake yet when I read this post. I spent several moments trying to get my head around Angie loving this look. April Fools indeed!

Plumbers will be especially popular during this trend… !

Thank goodness this is a joke! While this trend was in [and this is no joke] I was in the grocery store and the 20-something gal in front of me was wearing low jeans with lots of sequins on the pockets, a complicated braided belt, a visible lacey thong, and had a lower back tatoo. Quite frankly, it was everything I could do not to shout out “Nice A** Art!”

oh you COMPLETELY had me for a minute, and i was shocked…. thank you for making me laugh so hard!

You didn’t get me this time…your crocs joke is still too fresh. But the picture is priceless…who did you get to pose for it?

Great joke!!

You got me this year, Angie! Last year I was ready, but this year I was caught completely off guard. A co-worker and I read your blog faithfully and she just sent me an instant message to ask me if I’d read today’s entry. After I picked my jaw up off the floor I sent her a message back saying “Is she nuts???” Then she told me it was April Fools and we laughed. Hilarious!!

This article compelled me to post for the first time ever and I was all ready to ask you if you were off your rocker Angie! Thank god it’s April 1. You definitely got me LOL!

OH! Angie, you got me until you said “Personally, I like the look of super low rise pants because bottom cleavage is cute and alluring.” Tricky, clever you!

You are too funny! I loved the line that the modest would be wearing knickers above the waistband.

Make sure your knickers are thongs to really elevate the look!

Happy April Fools everyone. Thanks for making us giggle, Angie.

If my bottom looked anything like her’s in the photo, I might be down with this trend.

Great AFD post!

Love it! Angie, you have the BEST April fools blogs! I especially liked that part where you said you would model it next week. What tops do you wear to take advantage of the bottom cleavage?

I was horrified until I realized it was April 1 I actually gasped “NO!” outloud and my baby girl laughed at me Good one.

Oh perfect! Angie, you helped answer a question I posted on the forum: What should I knit or crochet? I think I’ll make myself a nice pair of knickers to stick out of my jeans!

Don’t forget about the front too: Forget the “girdling effect.” A bit of tum spilling out over the waistband will keep that alluring look going from back to front.

Hope you’ll do a model post for us soon!

I thought – ” WHAT!!!!!!?????????????? I don’t think so!

and then I saw the picture and had a great big laugh –

Hilarious! That picture is classic

You totally got me. Just started reading again after a hiatus, and my first thought was:

“She’s lost her freaking mind. Ass with class. I remember her having taste!!”

I still didn’t clue in until I read the comments. Genius.

I didn’t realize the date, so ??????!!!!!!!???? was my first thought as well. The post just got more outrageous with every sentence and by the time I read ‘with sass and loads of confidence’ I almost fell off my chair.

You’re priceless!!

Hilarious Angie! You had me until the second paragraph. The sad thing is that the article you linked to is actually serious. And that it does follow that a 90’s revival might come next. I do not want to ever see those 90’s muffin tops again, let alone wear the look. Hopefully it stays a blast from the past.

You must have had so much fun writing this post! Happy April 1st!

You got me!

I couldn’t believe this when I saw it in the email box this morning! Gives new meaning to wanting a “muffin” this morning – Thanks for the April Fool’s laugh, you had us all going – but I am going to keep an eye out for new “cute” knickers, just in case ;^) Thanks Angie!

Angie, I was thinking you might have something up your sleeve for an April Fools post, and this was perfect!

I’m 51 , do you think it would be OK if my thong showed as well?? Since I don’t have front cleavage this is a great alternative for me!!

Very clever Angie!! Well done for April 1st

hah!! took me halfway through the 2nd paragraph to figure out it was a joke.

The whole time I was telling myself, I’m not going for this look! LOL

Oh Angie,

You got me hook, line and sinker.

Luckily, I wrote an e-mail to a fellow YLF member first, before I thought to respond. I did not even read the response from all the savvy members, I was so appalled.

In my defense, today is the birthday of my old dog Danee, that I put down at the end of August. She was a rescue dog . I picked April Fools Day as it was a close estimate to when she was born, and I would be sure to not forget the day and get caught.

She helped me with that for 14 years.
But not this year and I think we are both laughing,in our own way,now.

Best April Fool’s joke ever!

I almost had a heart attack from this!

“This entry was posted on Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 at 6:40 am and is filed under April Fool. ” Hehe nice way to give it away.

Oh my god I almost had a heart attack. I am so bad at April Fool’s Day.

HILLARIOUS! I had to send a link to DH at work today even! He loathes the look!!

YIKES!!! Here I am reading a long thinking “NO WAY!!!”. I am so thankful today is April Fools day, oh yes I am!

Oh, my goodness! You so got me this year!! Ha, I was not ready at all. I thought, “Wow, what happened to her “class”? I was speechless til I read the blog below!
Hee hee–good one!

LOL! I thought this was a “real” post for a sec!

I totally fell for it and was about to post that I’m a total prude and will never change…

I am so relieved ….

Angie, you are good at this If I wasn’t a regular reader of your blog, I would totally fall for such a well written post. Very funny!

great April 1st post. Must admit for a brief moment I thought you had fallen off your rocker, but since my kid’s have been “April Fooling” all day I quickly realized it was a joke. WHEW!

Sad thing is, this is a sight we see WAY to much. EWWW

Heheh – awesome!

Oh thank god it’s a prank! I was horrified!

Very funny! It took me until you were talking about knickers sticking out above the waistband to think, no, this can’t be for real. I also had to tell my husband about it — he was getting cross to think I may wake the children with my laughing. Very good, Angie. Well done!

I was so shocked…no, horrified…until I glanced down and saw the category this was posted under. Ha ha. Good one Angie.

*very big chuckle*

What a great April Fools Day entry! “…bottom cleavage is cute and alluring”…ROTFL

Even though it was an April fools joke my 64 year old husband said if that is the trend then shopping at the mall will become the next male sport!

I didn’t read this until April 11, so I didn’t initially get the joke. I had started reading at the March entries and this entry did seem incongruous. I’m pleased I learned about the hoax, because if you were serious, I would be writing the blog off the reading list.

but wait! have you seen these: http://inventorspot.com/articl.....ikin_12675
