Jeans

October 16jeans

I am thankful for jeans. They are one of my favorite casual clothes. I really enjoy the comfort and durability of blue jeans. They are made of denim, which is a thick cotton fabric. According to Wikipedia, they were invented in the 1875 by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss (thus the name Levis). They became popular among teens in the 1950s and have been going strong ever since. Although there are varying colors of jeans, the traditional blue color is achieved using indigo dye.

This is a picture I took of a girl wearing jeans during tailgating prior to the LSU versus Alabama football game last November. I took the photo actually because of the LSU tattoo on her lower back just above the waistline. I think it is just a rub on tattoo but it was interesting to me. I'm sure Bebe will not like it that I took this photo, but it was all in the name of art. Right?

jeans

fashion to me

is more about comfort

than it’s style

given the choice of any sort

give me blue jeans

all the while

a golf shirt

to complement the pants

tennis shoes

and there will be no rants

and no blues.
