whither the slut stamp?

In a thoroughly discouraging turn of events for the ink blotted twentysomething masses countrywide, it appears that the fashion industry is moving away from hip huggers:

"Hipbone-hugging styles still dominate mall racks and high school hallways. But the fashion-forward flock is donning pants and jeans that graze the ribcage, as paraded on recent Fashion Week runways. And the rest of us are realizing that pant choice shouldn't have to dictate underwear choice.


Retailers are responding, not just because higher waists are fashionable but also because consumers are demanding them."

Who, exactly, is demanding them? Forty year old non- cougars? Why would the fashionistas deprive us of such catchy slogans as "place your hands here" and "I belong to Earl". Will we forget about flowers and asian characters? Prepare for an onslaught of acid washed mom jeans.

Color me unimpressed. What say you?
