Muffin Tops
// April 13th, 2007 // My Stuff
I was recently reading a blog post that used the phrase “muffin tops” while criticizing current American fashion and sexiness in defense of hajib wearing Arabian women. The blogger said: “I’d rather get an eyeful of one of them walking down the street than any of the garden variety trolls who parades their muffin-topped under-dressed corpulence through the typical American mall.”
I loved the sentence but was sadly ignorant to the term, which Wikipedia defines as:
I love this term, it has officially entered my daily vocabulary. This fashion trend is horrible. Many of the women (or men) who end up with muffin tops would otherwise be very attractive. Unfortunately, squeezing the midsection can make one look fatter than they actually are. Hopefully this term becomes ubiquitous and the trend is reversed.
