    It is a casual apparel thigh that has struggled since the late 90's due to being sandwiched between a lower and higher sister company, those companies being Thigh Banana Republic and Thigh Old Navy.

    hilarious!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Ha-This is actually a rather funny thread.

    In all seriousness though I just wanted to add that I have a small gap and I
    1. am not bowlegged
    2. am not anorexic
    3. do not have very wide hips
    I just tend to have skinny legs and lose weight in my legs quick that's all--its genetic. I also carry more fat on my belly than anywhere else and find I tend to look bad (too thin overall) when I lose the required weight to make my abs visible---that's genetic too :)

    the pen test is where you lie on your back with a pen perpidicular to the floor- if your stomach rises above the pen, you fail.

    That's funny. In my day, the "pen test" was how you checked for saggy boobs. If you put a pen or pencil under your boob and it fell out, you were 'perky'! Or just plain flat chested.

    I cant help but think some of the sudden obsession over thigh gaps is due to a particular website....

    ETA: I hope not cuz that site promotes extremely unhealthy and unrealistic body image.

    I first encountered the concept of thigh gap in the book "Something Blue", sequel to "Something Borrowed" by Emily Giffin. It came out in 2006 and was quite popular I believe. A movie was made of the first book that came out in 2011.

    Good Gawd. No wonder kids these days are so unhappy with their bodies. No matter what, they will never feel secure because it's impossible to ever be perfect. And perfect does not exist. :sick:

    I'm 23 and that's what I thought it meant, too...
