Trend alert: butt crack couture

Not all that long ago, butt crack fashion was only popular among hip hop circles, prison gangs, and members of a certain profession dealing with pipes and drains. Now, butt cleavage is apparently working its way to the top of the female fashion hierarchy -- right next to traditional cleavage. So, move over whale-tail, the next big movement in 21st century raunchy couture is all about the beauty of the extreme lower back.

As low rise jean keep migrating down the hips, it seems that lingerie designers are starting to explore the cheap thrill of assless fashion. More and more, we're starting to see panties with these risqué butt windows. From Alexander McQueen's expeditions into uncharted low-rise territory, to Heidi Klum's butt-crack dress last winter-- it seems that the fashion world has become addicted to crack. You might even call it the fashion fetish of our time, but we think it's a little too early to tell.

The title just drew me in. Yet another reason to give my "seat cushions" a work out.

Ah, finally, something for those college girls in the hip-huggers with their thongs and butt cracks hanging out in full view of everyone behind them...(Memo gals--most of us don't want to see your tush cleavage.)
They should make something similar for guys. Then the boys at the inner-city schools I work at with the saggy pants and the "crack problem" can bare even more of their "assets" than they already do LOL. Not that anyone over the age of 15 is looking...
My question...what's the point of wearing something like this if you're going to cover it up with pants or a skirt? Wouldn't the whole concept work better as the bottom of a bikini?
And I'm not sure you'd want to wear the ones with the big cut-outs or ribbons and bow detail under a pair of jeans--the denim might chafe your butt cheeks!
