Teen fashion gets Rube Goldberg-like results
by Leah Garchik

Spy L.A. reports on the results of teen fashions during allergy season:

In an East Bay public library on Tuesday, a young man about 17 years old and 6 feet 5, wearing baggy jeans and a grill on his teeth, strolled in with a bunch of pals. He suddenly produced a sneeze so huge that his jeans fell down and his grill flew out of his mouth, landing on the floor. “While he struggled to pull up his pants and put the grill back in his mouth, the crowd in the library struggled not to laugh,” says L.A.

    I would SO not be struggling to laugh – I’m a laugh-out-loud kinda girl. As the mother of a teenager, please know my son owns a belt and knows the locks will be changed if he wore those kind of pants. I don’t get it.

      And it seems like the longest-running stupid fashion statement, doesn’t it? The baggy pants JUST WON’T DIE!
