Welcome To 1988
Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 08:55amAre we going to talk about the fact that Katie Holmes has started pegging her jeans? I used to roll a tight peg back in the day, but I DON’T THINK SO. My guess is that she bet Victoria Beckham she could bring them back.

Gah, did guys (besides me) do that, too? They must have. Right? I think those jeans she’s wearing might actually be mine.
Chips O'Toole on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 9:16 am
is pegging rolling them up? or does it have something to do with Shaun of the Dead?
(see how I went from fashion right to zombie?)
heather on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 9:16 am
No. No no no no no. And what is up with her looking like a 40 year old soccer mom?
charlsa on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 9:17 am
why? why? why? it’s not ok.
heather on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 9:17 am
It’s not just the roll, but the foldover, then roll. I’d be ok with it if she just rolled them up, but pegging? Uh uh. No.

OK I don’t mind her haircut, but who thought those jeans looked good? Those jeans + those fugly shoes (last shot) = totally out of whack with reality.
Sadly, I expect to see Bobby Trendy wearing that exact outfit with a sparkly pink boa shortly.

Michael, yeah, I knew guys who pegged their jeans, too.
And she’s also wearing men’s jeans that are too big for her. If she rolled them up without pegging, she’d look like a farmer.

I pegged like a mofo. Every guy did at my school - it was the style, not a girl thing at all. I managed to avoid things like Member’s Only jackets, parachute pants and the Japan/Rising Sun muscle shirt simply because my mother wouldn’t buy them. And I was more preppy than anything. Skater preppy. Skater preppy Baptist. There, I said it.

I think the main problem here is that she’s married to a crazy person. Fashion faux pas come and go, but he’ll still be crazy.

I just checked the Scientology website, and it’s a little known fact that L. Ron Hubbard also used to peg his jeans like a mofo. Apparently is a whole Xenu thing.
So … mystery solved.

The GB is right. Hubbard pegged his jeans to stop the thetans from sweeping in from the ground and thus taking over his soul.

Retro shoes, retro hair, retro husband.I think it’s awesome. -Crazy… Crazy like a Fox.
Dave on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 10:41 am
Fox crazy, or fruitbat nuts?
Beth on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 11:39 am
I pegged like a mofo.
I hear that. I was a pegging machine back in the day. I actually still have a few pairs of those jeans, so if they do come back I’m all set.
maddie on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 12:45 pm
All she’s missing are the several pairs of scrunchy socks to meet the bottom of the jeans and Keds with no laces.
Stephanie on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 1:30 pm
at least they are not pleated jeans. like mine were in those days.
Maggie on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 1:55 pm
We didn’t do that here. My cousin from America used to do that, and I thought it was the stupidest thing. We were much cooler. We tried to get our jeans to be so super tapered from knee to ankle that we used safety pins with which to do it. Oh yes. I would spend an hour in the morning before school trying to pin my pants just right in junior high.
freakgirl on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 2:00 pm
That’s awesome.
Maggie on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 2:35 pm
I even got my grandmother to tighten and install zippers in my favourite pair. What was wrong with us? Why did we want to look like we had baggy thighs, teeny calves and giant feet?
sandra on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Maggie, I remember you would sew yourself into your jeans!
I remember pegging (though I never knew it was called that), but that was when I was in grade school. I was the biggest nerd who was the farthest away from being cool or trendy (not because I didn’t want to be, I just didn’t have a clue) but I remember the cool girls doing it. The ’80’s were So. Weird.
Stephanie on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 4:45 pm
what’s up with the black binder? it’s in every photo except one? Is it for Tom to stand on?
chuck on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Emilie says it’s wardrobe from Eli Stone. Not to be a fun killer or anything.
freakgirl on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 5:02 pm
How long is she shooting on Eli Stone? This has been going on for weeks, hasn’t it? I’m curious about why her character would be dressing like that…any inside info?
chuck on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Em just said something about seeing another pegged picture and it said it was from the set of Eli Stone. Fuckifiknow.
freakgirl on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Well, that would explain the constant black binder, I suppose.
sandra on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 8:38 pm
FUN KILLER!
freakgirl on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 at 9:52 pm
hee hee! However, I was just looking at the St. Brangelina issue of People magazine, and there’s an entire page of various celebs with pegged jeans. Oh Katie, what hath you wrought?
sandra on Thursday, August 07, 2008 at 10:06 am
I came across these photos this morning - unpegged but not any better! Could this be worse? Maybe. Eli Stone shoot or not…
