Skinny Jeans WTF?

Skinny Jeans, WTF? First of all, I would like to say that in real life I would NEVER use a stupid acronym like "wtf", but for risk of getting the boot, I am monitoring my otherwise cororful vocabulary. Anyway...am I the only 25-30something that is confused by this trend toward Skinny Jeans? Sure, we wore them in the 80's, but everything else then looked ridiculous too. And sure, these jeans look awesome on a tall, thin model, wearing heals, and I admit I have been fooled once or twice into trying them on, but seriously ladies, are they really all that flattering on a normal human being? Maybe I am just upset at slowing loosing my teenybopper pant size?
