This just gets better and better. At the end of the article it says they allow flip-flops...the code I linked earlier (for the Idaho school, not Provo) specifically states NO flip-flops.

These people are flip-flops!

This is almost as hard as trying to figure out what, if anything, the LDS Church teaches.

The church tends to back off when the media shines a light on their doctrines.

Agreed. BTW- would these skinny jeans be okay for you to wear at work?

Yes, but I also could tattoo my entire body in cheetah print and get 73 piercings in my face if I wanted to.

I think skinny jeans are just fine and dandy on young people who have the bodies (and curves) for them.

In banning these skinny jeans, I wonder if BYU-Idaho is being used as a trial balloon to help craft a new Church Declaration to the world. If so, that would help answer the charge that things have been a little slow in the Revelation department lately. It will be interesting to see how this balloon floats in an atmosphere of scrutiny.

Is there any other type of jeans available for women except skin tight jeans? Guess it's time to go back to ankle length prairie skirts.

Yes. Women should purchase clothing that is at least one size too large. This way they can be more confident that their evil curves will be masked.
