BottomSlim | Thick thighs, Skinny Jeans Conundrum

Project Superstar gave Silver Ang her shot to fame onscreen in Local TV. She is not the thinnest model but still cuts a nice figure that she can be proud of. But a few uncontrolled moments of overeating and lacking exercise later, Silver had problems fitting into her jeans. Not a new problem as Silver had struggled with thick thighs since her teens. When Does It Go Pear-Shaped? It is clear that the world doesn’t care about girls with thick thighs because they constantly inconvenience them.

Often a pear has to buy a pai...
