Fashion discussion, here we come! Thank goodness for Fark, because I’d never have found this anywhere else.

Meet the jeans that wink as you walk.

The amusingly named Winkers, whose buttock-eyes appear to wink coquettishly at anybody following the wearer, are the invention of William A. Jones, a retired father of five and grandfather of seven who lives in Everett, Washington.

Jones says that the idea came to him when, naturally, he was checking out a woman as she walked past him. Nice.

He says he was sure that her jeans-clad bottom winked at him as she strolled by. A little more thought, and the idea of jeans with eyes in the buttock-folds was born.

Jones experimented with his daughter’s jeans and discovered he could indeed make the jeans wink, and came up with the name Winkers.

So are these jeans sexy, or sexist? Or just dumb in general?

To the contrary, I think it’s a step up from just writing “juicy” across the back.

Although I appreciate the novelty, I really don’t like the idea of some random girl’s bottom winking at me as she walks by. It’s winking at everyone, after all. Very misleading.

Perhaps she’s just very friendly.
