Like always I love watching your segments on Good Things Utah, but I have to say I was pretty disappointed in your choice of jean models. Except for the girl who just had a baby, she looks amazing. But I read all the comments to you of people seeking your help who don't know what style, or size or fabric to pick. I was really hoping to see someone on there who really needed the help and not the size 2 models that end up on there everytime. You say that there is a jean for everyone there at Big Rock, but you only picked people who are a size 32 or smaller. I know for a fact that they carry up to a 15 in women's in some of their jeans. I still enjoyed seeing the cute jeans, but was disappointed in the tiny sizes they were.

I am a mother of 3 and just had a baby in June. I have struggled to find jeans that fit me bigger in the waist but smaller in the legs. My problem area is my "lower" abdomen where I have had 3 c-sections. I finally found the most amazing jeans that fit as if they were made just for me. LA IDOL from Big Rock Clothing. If you need a model that is NOT a size 0-4 since most of them are, I would be happy to show off the BEST jeans ever made. I wish I would have seen someone who is more similar to my body type when I was pulling my hair out looking for jeans.

Alecia- I am a huge fan of GTU! I watch it every single day! Do I have the perfect couple for you! My husband and I have been married for 5 years. He is 23 years older than me, and we have 2 adoreable little boys. But my husbands fasion sense is in the tubes. He is an attractive guy for being 57 years old but he needs help in finding a great pair of jeans. We would love to get pointers and suggestions on finding the right pair for both of us. I do hope you consider us for your next jean segment. Have a great day, Catherine

Alecia- I am a huge GTU fan! I watch it everyday! Do have the perfect couple for you!!! My husband and I would love to model for your jean segment. I married a man who is 23 years older than me and he is a great husband and father, we have been married nearly 5 years an have to adoreable little boys.But he has no fasion sense at all. He will wear what I buy him but he still goes back to his usual "old" style. He works out and has a great physique for being 57 years of age. I would love to show him off in a new pair of jeans and show him how chic he can be! I do hope you consider us for next weeks jean segment.

I am still waiting to see a jean for the woman who carries her weight in the abdomen. :( I would love to be the "pear" but I am doomed to be the "apple". With the new trends in jeans, I cannot find one that doesnt cause the muffin top effect, cut so low that there is no support for the tummy at all. In the last decade we called them the "mommy jeans" because the waste cut was so high. I dont nescesarily want those old jeans back, I just need to find a jean that has a high enough cut to support my tummy. :) I am 5'4" and wiegh between 165-170 lbs. I hope you did not do this segment and I missed it cause I really need some help in this fashion area. :) Natalie

Alicia, I would love to help out with you jean segment. I am a mother of 5 boys and my beautiful husband. My attention to myself has gone to the side. I use to weigh 245 lbs. and am still in the process of losing all of it. I have lost 65lbs. and still going. I have been very scared of buying jeans for quite a long time for now. They are either to tight or loose in the waist and tight in the butt and thighs. I would love to love jeans again and not be petrified everytime i think of buying pants besides comfortable and ugly. I would really love to be part of this fashion that looks great in jeans and you can tell they love themselves with what they are wearing,not trying to cover-up with long shirts or sweaters. Please consider me for your jeans 101. I would forever be in your debt. Thank you Kirsten

Dear Alicia, I would love to help out for your jeans 101. I have recently hit my weight loss goal of losing 85 pounds. I now am able to buy cute fun edge pants. Well ones that are in a descent price range. I am 5 foot 5 inches. I have a curvy athletic build. I have a hard time finding pants that fit me in shape and length. I am in about a size 8. I saw on the show yesterday you talking about the L.A. Idol jeans and that is about what I am willing to spend right now and I think those are super cute, plus with how the economy is and having to dress 4 kids plus get all new clothes for myself because none of my old clothes fit anymore. So would those kind of jeans work for me, and if I need them altered with that white stitching what is the best place for that? It seems like I always need my jeans or pants altered and I don't buy the pants even if they look really cute on because they are always to long. I don't know were a good place to go to get them altered? If I go to the petite section I swear that means short and just skinny not short and curvy? I am wanting to branch out and try some new styles to go along with my new healthier self. Thank you for you help love the show, Erika Roberts My email is robertsje@msn.com

I look forward to your Jeans 101. I have two young boys and need to be able to move in my jeans. I only have two pairs that I wear all the time. One for work in the yard and one nice pair. Needless to say I WILL be watching your segment. I live in Logan and would love some advise. I definately can't wear the jeans I used to. Even though I live a little more than a hop away, I would love to volunteer to be on your segment. I recently went jean shopping with my husband (my sisteres are much younger with different body types) and the experience wasn't good with no success in finding the jean for me. I am in much need of your help. Thank you for your time. And thank you for doing this segment for us curvyer women!

I've lost 60 pounds and I have 15 to go until i'm at my goal wait so i would be happy to volunteer.
