random thoughts on genderswitch

So, I'm just wondering, how is it that so many people who write boy-turns-into-girl fics seem to think that a boy's jeans will just slide right off a girl's hips? Because, no!

I just read a (really cool) AJ-as-girl story, in which girl!AJ had to have a belt to hold up his jeans. AJ. Who practically *has* no hips. Now, if she'd been unable to pull them up over her newly-feminine hips, that would have made sense. No doubt a female version of AJ Maclean would be small and wiry and not endowed with lush curves like, say, a female Nick would be (cor!), but there are certain fundamentals, if you'll excuse my saying so, of feminine anatomy, and one is that the hips *exist*.

So, peeps. What's with the hipless wonders?

I vote no as well. Lance has buffed up and toned down, but there's no hiding that he has a great ass. JC's attributes, while many, aren't in the curvy-backside department. JC's gotta be wearing smaller pants.

But I'll volunteer to take the measurements! :D

I'm gonna have to go along with you on the great ass/flat ass differential. Also, can I go with you when you take the measurements? I can hold the tape while you examine closely to make sure the measurements are right! ;)

Yes! :D

I'll definitely need an assistant.
