Alright, so yesterday I found myself doing some behind the scenes updates on TrendDoll, when I overheard the weatherman state that this weekend will be approximately 82 degrees in the city. With that in mind, I got flashbacks of this past weekend, when women were spotted rocking hotpants in the middle of April without a care in the world. Not only did I sweat my brains out aimlessly in a T-shirt and light hooded sweater while taking photos. But I was reminded that this is the season to bare some skin in a tasteful manner of course! Hotpants are definitely one of those interesting features we all would like to have added to our wardrobes. Leaving women wondering if they could actually pull off the look without looking scandalous. True enough…it can be done! Yes, I know it’s one of those risqué looks – which some would say are meant to be worn by women of a size two frame. But I say, that the look goes perfectly with slender & curvy body types as well. Recently we’ve encountered Christina Milian pulling off the hotpants look with a vintage T-shirt, hoody, set against sexy heels…focusing all of the attention on her legs (as it should be done!). Where as our favorite “Trend Dolll” Amber Rose took it on the other side of the fence…letting our eyes focus a little bit more on other regions of her body, other than her legs. Either way, I will fully pledge to slip my size 8 hump into a pair of hotpants this summer…with the hopes that it doesn’t ride up my thighs into my booty! Trust me, that isn’t a pretty site! No one needs to see me plucking denim out of my lady lump. Check out the stats after the jump.

I love me some amber rose! I remember seeing her in those booty shorts with Kanye on theybf. tee i feel you about the hotpants, but what about the women with serious junk in the trunk?
Good question! While I realize that women who have “junk” in their trunks wont feel comfortable wearing hotpants, there are alternative options that are short enough to show off some leg, without bringing on the uncomfortable feeling of having eyes staring hard at you. Such as thigh high shorts, that are not exactly at the knee – but between the upper knee and thigh. And they look great! You just have to go hunting around for the perfect pair of hotpants. And they dont require having your butt cheeks poking out of the rear end of your shorts.
ooooooooo i love me some hot pants! my legs need to come outta hibernation something serious!
Dee you are a trip!HEHEHEH! I know what you mean! UGH! I tried to get away last season with some hotpants only to be pulling at my crotch! I just need to find the RIGHT pair!
