Not good. White trash. And I know white trash.

From what I've heard, it depends on the belly...;)

Back tat is WT. BBR is OK on the flats.

To appreciate a belly button ring, you have to know how to jingle it without actually touching it. And that's when they're really cool.

oh for once I actually agree with c4u,
I so don't agree with the huge floppy belly sportin it. Yuk! I can do without those images in my head.

My gorgeous, rail-thin 19 year old daughter has one. She informed me that she's pregnant about a week ago. I think that those belly rings are nothing more than an, "I am easy" signal.

I always think of that comment on "Wedding Crashers" about the tattoo on the back...same thing goes for the belly button ring...easy target. Neither item seems classy. I know class, for the most part, shows in your character and actions but still, I think they are a little on the trashy side.

BBR = double quick trash from arkansas with a lose zipper and two kids

HHL said...

assuming it is on a girl with a flat stomach, i think it is very sexy, though i prefer a bit less gaudy than the one pictured.

and unlike the "tramp stamp", it is removable.

I like the belly button ring. Kinda sexy.

mzchief said...

Like ANY other fashion item, it depends HOW it is worn and WHO wears it.

Sleazy chicks, girls over 25 and those with pudding pudge need to NOT wear belly button rings.

I prefer the belly button studs and rings to the charms.

I NEVER considered having a BBR. Not because it might be considered trashy but because I am a self-avowed (as well as publicly acclaimed) WUSS. I had my ears pierced when I was 16 and fainted during the first one. It is a bloody good thing the Dr. did the second one while I was OUT otherwise to this day I would have ONLY one pierced ear and LOOK like a pirate.

The BBR shown looks like some kind of gaudy fishing lure. I agree with art vandelay, and I know white trash too. I also know you can take the white out of the trash, but you can't always take the trash out of the white.

I think belly button rings are cute on a cute tummy.

And why does the location of a tattoo make it more or less trashy?

They suck when you are rubbing bellies and it pokes you.

TXsharon said...

It's all good. People who don't like BBRs need to remember back when they were younger and the same words came out of their parent's mouths. Things change and different doesn't = bad/trashy.

The belly button itself is disgusting and I am here to take a stand to stop the belly button. Your either with me or against me people so choose wisely.

Ah geez..."pudding pudge" made me spit some coffee...super-duper funny (censoring my mouth so I don't get banned). ;)

It is TOTALLY relative to the belly to which it is attracting attention.

Nice belly, nice look. Beer belly with fuzz in the navel, el barffo.

I think all Wise county women should come with some sort of "tramp stamp"; this is, just for those born and raised here! That way we could know ahead of time what we were getting ourselves in to!!! Maybe an ear tag like the cows!

... that is like, soooo 1997.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck....Reality is that people do form impressions by the way one grooms, dresses, speaks, writes, etc. Not being a Wise County native, I don't think Wise County women are the only ones that would agree mutilating a part of one's body that used to be part of an umbilical cord with a ring of sorts or permanently inking your skin is distasteful. I think it unfair to stereotype all the women in Wise County anyway.

June...I posted at 11:59 and I was just poking a little fun at....well I guess myself in a way! I am a native of the county, and am aware of what outsiders (or some insiders..I am really sounding like a local here)might think of Wise county folk. My signifigant other also wears the proud distinction of being Wise tattoed woman! I guess my point is that I know my comment might have came off as high horsish(not sure if that is a word, but I like it), but I am only making fun of what I is!

Strunk and White said...

Careful June fn Cleaver. That kind of sensible talk can get you into trouble. By the way, what does the "fn" stand for?

June FN Cleaver said...

Poking a little fun at myself too...the FN, let's say is ironic emphasis of how NOT like June Cleaver I am. I totally identify with the moms and the hooch. I just wait until I get around the bunko group to get it out and minus the squiddos. Being a SAHM is way harder than I thought it would be.

comment4U said...

Oooooooooooohhhhhhh, I just got the "FN" part myself. Wow...and I pride myself on having Sailor humor. ;) That's a great one, June!

Anonymous said...

I can't believe you guys are just now getting the fn part. That is so obvious and has been since she's been blogging here! It's priceless!

June FN Cleaver said...

Thank you Anon 4:42! I must show Ward your comment. He always says I don't have a sense of humor. I do but it is desert dry. But you know what harda$$ Ward can be sometimes. ;o)

Funny how Adam and Eve are usually drawn with belly buttons. Even by the great "masters" of art, and usually always in Bibles they are drawn with belly buttons. It's just so nuts.

Tramps stamps - now that is funny. I happen to have one of those tramp stamps from my younger days. I would not consider myself a tramp though. I have a college degree, work for a living, and have been married 14 years (yes, to the same man!) I always just thought of it as a tattoo but a tramp stamp does sound more interesting.

I have a Tramp Stamp on my Johnson. It looks like a little dot , but when I see a Hey Now it reads Barry S. Green Esquire 637 South Shortie Dr. Runaway Bay, Texas 12345-678
