men of the world, you can now breathe a sigh of relief: the technology that has kept womens’ breasts so perky for decades is now being applied to men’s jeans. behold, the calvin klein jeans Body line, offering a “body-defining fit for an enhanced profile”:

for just $79 you can fool the world into thinking you were born with the sort of package that is barely confined by the oppression of pants. as exclaimed by one of the many supporters of the junk supporters:
“When I first tried them on, it was like, ‘Whoa! Do other people notice this?…You feel more confident…You have people who wear the skinny jean, and the only thing you see is the bulge. These work with the whole body.”
it’s so adorable how the whole concept of lifting, shaping, supporting, enhancing and/or otherwise defying gravity is just making its way into the male fashion terminology. but will this usher in an era of pretending to be a man you are woefully not with the help of a strategically placed gelatinous pouch? i can only hope so—it’s about time the body image issues were equally distributed between the sexes.
