Yeah, okay, I'll admit it: I own a pair of "trophy jeans."
Or two.
One is a Playboy brand: It was when I was at my skinniest, eons (prior to birth of second child) ago.
The other was purchased a couple of years ago. I wanted a pair of tight white jeans for summer, just to say I had them.
That didn't mean I fit in them.
But I do, sort of: if that little pouf of tummy fat over the waistline doesn't count.
Or the fact that my arse looks like two pounds of salami in a one-pound bag.
Gives new meaning to the term "tighty whitey", doesn't it?
Still, I can zip up, so bugger off. And there's not a bit of Spandex in them, just 100% cotton.
Can you say the same, about any pair of jeans you own?
Ha. Thought not. So there.
According to the release below, I'm not the only woman who finds wearing her trophy jeans orgasmic . . .
I mean, for all the RIGHT reasons.
Squeezin' is pleasin' (ouchouchouch),

Women find fitting into old pair of jeans better than sex
A rather bizarre study reveals that women may derive a more pleasurable feeling by slipping into a pair of old jeans than indulging in a sexual intercourse.
A poll of 2200 British women carried out by serial brand Special K revealed that slimming down and fitting into an old pair of jeans again may be a woman’s ultimate fantasy.
Findings of the survey revealed that more than a quarter (35 percent) of women confessed to owning a pair of ‘trophy’ jeans they used to wear, kept in a hope to fit in again.
On an average, the participants owned at least five pairs of jeans. Nearly 10 percent of the women even claimed that their jeans outlived their longest relationship regardless of whether it fits them or not.
When asked on how they would feel to fit into old jeans, 29.1 percent of women averred that it would feel better than sex, 28.9 per cent said it would beat a promotion, 20.6 percent thought it would top a best friend's wedding.
Furthermore, 20.3 percent said it would feel better than a lottery win, and 11.1 percent thought it would beat a marriage proposal.
Woman’s fantasies
The poll also revealed that nearly 30 percent of women fantasized more about slimming back into their ''trophy'' jeans than daydreaming about the Hollywood heartthrobs such as George Clooney or Brad Pitt.Laura Bryant, from Special K, said, ''Women hold a deep attachment to that one pair of jeans which they know they look and feel great in. They use them as a benchmark and a great motivational tool when slimming and it doesn't matter how old the pair is.
"This research shows the sense of euphoria and the endorphin rush women get when they achieve their goal of fitting back into that one special pair of jeans is even better or on a par with some of the other great pleasures in life."
