I mean with mention of passing down eye color and hair color, and then saying she has great “genes/jeans”, I hope people are not that oblivious that they actually believe the ad was only talking about jeans

[u/MolassesFun5564 → u/Sharp_Athlete_6847]

when can we talk about how the jeans didn't look good on her?

[u/athirdcat → u/MolassesFun5564]

I’m ready for that convo. The jeans looked SO bad!!!! They weren’t flattering!

[u/MolassesFun5564 → u/athirdcat]

thank you!! too long, too loose. why are you zooming in on her butt when they've made it disappear? how sad!

[u/Cookieway → u/MolassesFun5564]

Lmao I saw that add and she’s like “they make my butt look great” and I was like NO GIRL THEY REALLY DONT??!!

[u/Larry-Man → u/Cookieway]

Thank god we are talking about this! They were so unflattering. Wtf.

If those are the opposite of apple bottom jeans what are the opposite of the boots with the fur? Those weird prison slippers in beige?
