Bossy recently purchased this belt for under $30 at TJ Maxx, which is Bossy’s favorite place to return things shop.
Bossy admits to being old enough to see the wide belt fashion come and go a few different times during her life, but this time around Bossy is having difficulty getting with the program.
Sure, the wide belt she purchased — the one above with the tags still attached and tucked carefully under its wideness — is decorative, like so many others:
One could certainly argue these wide belts add a little flash and distraction. And yet there’s always been something about them that nags at the back of Bossy’s head, something not altogether apparent when analyzing herself in the mirror.
And finally Bossy got it:

December 2, 2009 at 10:29 amFrom the looks of Bossy’s front- end her behind-end will look just as mahvelous, belt or no!
monnik says
December 2, 2009 at 10:32 amOnly on fat men, does the wide belt look odd from behind. Bossy will rock the wide belt from all angles.

December 2, 2009 at 10:40 amLOLOL.. that completely took me by surprise – almost choked trying to swallow my juice before laughing. Good one Bossy!
Joie says
December 2, 2009 at 10:44 amCorrection: wide belts look odd on old fat men, but Bossy? Bossy looks like a hotty in one. HOW do you keep that metabolism?
Ellie says
December 2, 2009 at 10:45 amSomebody give that fat man some fasion sense. Some rivets, maybe? Or at least some sparkles.
Jim says
December 2, 2009 at 11:00 amBossy, Wide belts only look funny in the back of large men. These belts look sharp on the behinds of shapely woman.
Kristi says
December 2, 2009 at 11:16 amI now know what I want for Christmas. Bossy’s figure.
km says
December 2, 2009 at 11:42 amBossy needs to share her diet and exercise habits.
Nance says
December 2, 2009 at 11:45 amI’d kill to be that skinny. That is all.
The Domestic Goddess says
December 2, 2009 at 12:08 pmI need me a wide belt. To camouflage my wide butt.
David says
December 2, 2009 at 12:46 pm“Shut up forever” is a bold statement for you to make. Already getting a head start on our New Year’s resolutions, are we?
notmuchofacook says
December 2, 2009 at 12:58 pmOh, Bossy. How I envy you. You are so slender and tall; you would rock any and all belts. Go for it!
Ris says
December 2, 2009 at 1:02 pmGood Lord Bossy has a tiny waist! No need to worry about looking like Santa for you!
heidig says

carson says
December 2, 2009 at 1:20 pmYikes. You might want to make sure Michelle Obama sees this post. She probably doesn’t know, either.
Sara - The Football Wife says
December 2, 2009 at 2:06 pmWide belts are unforgiving to my post pregnancy body. Boooooooooooo! Now is not the time to accentuate my flab.
almudena says
December 2, 2009 at 3:24 pmamen and amen. next time, though, will bossy stuff a pillow in her shirt prior to snapping a picture of herself? it would really make us all feel better.
laurellee says
December 2, 2009 at 4:07 pmGoodness gracious, bossy is HAWT.
natalie says
December 2, 2009 at 6:34 pmHi I’m new to your blog. Funny stuff. I love the wide belt. I own none though.
Reeb says
December 2, 2009 at 6:38 pmI don’t believe a word of Bossy’s promise to shut up forever about anything, particularly wide belts.
Reebr says
December 2, 2009 at 6:38 pmWhere’d the Santa photo come from, btw?
Bush Babe says
December 2, 2009 at 6:43 pmThere are wide belts and wide belts. Just as there are wide belt models and wide belt models… I suspect that the very same belt that Bossy models in this post would resemble a THIN belt on Bush Babe. Just as I suspect a really thin belt would disappear into the softness that was once BB’s waist…
*sigh*

December 2, 2009 at 6:43 pmonly a wide behind looks odd from behind…and I should know, cause I have one!
Momish says
December 2, 2009 at 7:00 pmThat is exactly the belt I have been looking for, but now Bossy has ruined it for me. It would never look that fine on me. Damn you, Bossy!
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
December 2, 2009 at 7:23 pmThe wide behind looks odd with the belt, is all.
You’re good to go.
L says
December 2, 2009 at 8:15 pmMonnik- A wide belt looks bad on the back side of a fat lady also. I should know.
Cupcake Murphy says
December 2, 2009 at 10:36 pmThis made me spit up I laughed so hard.
Lively says
December 3, 2009 at 12:02 amI’d kill for that waist and abs of Bossy. No I’d not kill Bossy.
You totally rock with that belt.
Audubon Ron says
December 3, 2009 at 12:09 amI love belts. They’re real handy with bondage. I’ll explain later when you’re willing to hear me say, “Tell me that good!”
Dawn in Austin says
December 3, 2009 at 7:29 amI have trouble with belts that aren’t designed to go through belt loops. Why have belt loops? Is the belt supposed to sit under my armpits? because that’s kinda where the top of my butt is. No, I don’t think wide belts are for me.
dgm says
December 3, 2009 at 9:49 amI think I saw tags on Santa’s belt.
Dee says
December 3, 2009 at 4:01 pmWhat is that white glow around you in the pic ? Your either and angel, or your used the dodge tool and a little liquify in Photoshop….
Nice belt though, but since I am 46, I think those fades are better left to the younger kids.
Gail K. says
December 3, 2009 at 4:34 pmI’d like to know how one sits when one is wearing a wide belt that goes around the hips as in mannequin picture #2.
Not that I am buying a widebelt, I would need a steel belt to do any good – oh, wait, aren’t those the new tires I just got?
chuck says
December 3, 2009 at 5:52 pmCan Bossy BREATHE in those jeans???
Jealous chick says
December 3, 2009 at 11:47 pmYou and your super cute skinny adorable figure. I hate you I hate you I hate you! And I cannot ever, in a million years, pull off a wide belt, EVAH. Gah!
Beth says
December 4, 2009 at 12:01 amNuh fair, nuh fair. To have a grown kid and a teenager and look like that. Nuh fair.
Andria says
December 4, 2009 at 12:35 amI lurve TJ Maxx. And, I used to love being able to wear a belt. Now, halfway through my pregnancy, the only belt I’m wearing is a really unattractive belly band, that keeps my pants up.
No wonder I’m single and pregnant…
Amber Star says
December 4, 2009 at 1:35 amI’ve noticed Ann Curry on the Today show had on one of those wide belts and of course it looked great on her, but I’m thinking maybe it might cause some trouble with breathing.
Betty in Munich says
December 4, 2009 at 8:34 amThat’s what she said
Leah says
December 4, 2009 at 3:52 pmHave to agree with pp, I think these belts are for the ahem,,, yonger generation. Sorry Bossy.
Lis says
December 6, 2009 at 9:43 pmHmmm. Bossy has a rad figure and can certainly rock a wide belt…but, maybe one with about half as many studs. A little subtlety goes a long way and can actually be more flattering, eh? Throw this belt at “The Wonderful One” (good X-mas gift?) and invest in one that looks more like the examples you posted. Really, Bossy, you’re too cool for this belt.
