Are you like me?
I
mean do you have those one favorite pair of jeans that fit every curve of your
body, just right?
The
jeans you had for a few years or maybe even as long as ten years!
Those
perfect jeans that seem to fit after you have gained or lost 5 to 10 pounds.
The
jeans that capture everyone’s attention when you walk into a room, a club, or
even at work on casual Fridays.
Now,
do you know the jeans IAM talking about?
Yes,
those jeans.
Well,
I have a pair of those jeans. Actually, they have evolved over time just like I
have. And, no matter what is going on with or in my body, I always seem to have
in my possession that one pair of jeans that seem to correspond with every mood
and every occasion of my life and especially when nothing else seems to work!
Over
the years that favorite pair of jeans may have been Levi’s, Calvin Klein, Sassoon, Gloria
Vanderbilt, Jordache, Yves Saint Laurent, Guess, Gap or even Lee and Wrangler; for the Ol' Skoolers. Nu Skoolers have Tru Religion, Apple Bottoms, Baby Phat, Diesel, Lucky Brand, Seven, Lucky, G-Star Raw, and Pepe.
Today, they may have a bit of Lycra, spandex, or some other form of stretch; they may even be called “Jeggings”.
Today, they may have a bit of Lycra, spandex, or some other form of stretch; they may even be called “Jeggings”.
Now,
those jeans may be straight leg, tight leg, or boot cut; low riders, high-waist,
boyfriend cut; cut-up, ripped-up, torn-up; damn near shredded up, faded,
bleached, stonewashed, prewashed, ready-to-fade, like Burger King they come
made your way!
No
matter the brand, style, or the color, it, was and will always be about the “FIT”!
How
they felt and how they make you feel.
How
you walked and moved in them as well as the ease of getting out of them.
How
you feel after eating in them, no need to un-belt and unbuckle them, because
those jeans know you and you know them.
They
relax when you relax, and they perk up when you do.
And,
they love when you accent them with the perfect top, belt, and shoes.
They
get excited when you allow them to be the center of attraction. You know, those
days when you break out the iron and padded ironing board, a bottle of water,
and a can of spray starch; Faultless or my favorite, Niagara!
Remember
how you ironed them so often, they developed a permanent white crease down the
middle; so much so, they could almost stand up on their own? (The fellas know
what IAM talking about – yeah, those jeans!)
Or
maybe, they were the jeans that were so laid back, they look better un-ironed
and un-belted, dropping sexily around your lower waist kissing your hips, just
enough to let that backbone slip; Worn with an alluring white tee shirt or
black tank top, hell it didn’t matter what you paired them with, the look was
always HOTT!
Then
came winter when you combined them with the infamous black turtleneck. Be it
cotton, cotton-blend, or a wool sweater; long sleeves, tall riding boots, black
leather bomber jacket, and you had it going on. But it was all about those jeans
and the way you felt when you pulled them on!
Ok,
so now you that know the jeans IAM talking about; what if they could talk?
What
if they could tell you about all the places they have gone and the many things
they have seen, whether from the floor or thru a window screen.
What
if they told you, someone else had them on? Would you feel betrayed?
What
if they said, we don’t want to be worn today, you are about to do something we
don’t want to be involved in?
What
if they told you they don’t like the company you keep or the places you go?
What
if your favorite jeans, yelled at you when you stuffed your pockets or made the
belt too tight?
What
if those jeans said they don’t like the dark or going out at night?
How
about if they screamed when you used them as a drying cloth instead of using
the hand dryer or a paper towel?
What
if they shrunk on purpose, because you washed them in hot water or dried them
too long?
How
would you feel if your favorite jeans cursed you when you allowed ketchup, oil,
or syrup to drip on them and just rubbed it in instead wiping it off?
Oh,
what about pulling them down around your legs instead of taking them off when
you were about to get busy. Forcing them to move in ways they were not designed
to move. Subjecting them to the torture of wrinkles and body fluids, and unimaginable
sounds never to be endured by you’re a pair of jeans!
What
if our favorite jeans could talk?
Would
they tell you what the other jeans are saying about you?
Would
they tell you that the other jeans don’t like you anymore? You know the ones
that don’t get worn as often, that cost’s more money, that are name brand, and
have the best detailing on the pockets?
Would
your favorite jeans ever betray your trust?
Would
they tell your husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend, where you were last night?
Would
they reveal who you were with and what you did?
Would
your pockets unleash your deepest darkest secrets? Or did those numbers get
washed in the laundry instead?
Or,
are your pockets planning a revolt, because you never seem to use them anymore?
Even though they are big enough to accommodate
your wallet and your phone, that use now goes unnoticed. Instead, you carry a
phone case that has room for your identification and even a credit card; or,
you use your phone to conduct all your financial transactions now. Why even
bother with pockets, because you now give your spare change to the charity jar
on the counter or throw into the “no purpose” space in your car’s center
console.
Have
you ever thought about what you would do, if your jeans could talk?
Would
you take better care of them, knowing how they feel?
Would
you ensure to utilize every feature of your jeans to the fullest extent of
their purpose?
Would
you limit the number of jeans you purchase, and would you be mindful about the
number of times you wore them between washes and wearing other jeans?
Would
you listen to the fabric of your jeans to guide how you wear them, where you
wear them to, and how you wear them?
IAM
just wondering, what I would do if my jeans could talk.
After
writing and reading this article, I have concluded all is Energy.
Yes,
including my jeans and my genes.
And
it is because of this realization, that I acknowledge that my jeans are an extension
of me. They reflect my personality, my taste, my mood, my plan for the day, my
goals for the evening, and my journey throughout this thing we call life. I
love my jeans as much as I love any other form of matter. For they are no more
immaterial than IAM material.
If
my jeans could talk, they would say that they enjoy the life they share with
this risk-taking Spirit driving around in the vehicle known as CeleXy. They
would say, that they consider it an honor to wrap themselves around my waist
and my thighs as they experience the world thru beautiful brown eyes!
After-all,
who else would ever even consider writing a blog about jeans…. TALKING?!!
SHINE, RADIATE, AND MANIFEST PHYSICAL,
UNTIL NEXT TIME, WHOLENESS - CELEXY
