Quoting Tinkerbelle:

Im writing about my personal feelings on jeans for my friend Gentlywoman.
 
 
 
The story of jeans and their transformation from being the original workwear to fashion statement has to be one of the greatest marketing strategies ever. Transforming what was a basic ugly garment into something practically every person on the planet wears is nothing short of amazing.
 
 
 
I suppose im a bit of a hypocrite in that Im in the fashion business both as a retailer , personal shopper and stylist and personally never wear them but I do sell them quite sucessfully, but they arent for me.
 
 
 
Ive allways hated them [ between you and me] I know everyone wears them but to understand why I dont you need to know this. You have to remember the way I was brought up in part to understand my position. I hate the look and feel of them. I dont feel dressed in them either and they are uncomfortable. I find that they are too short in the rise for me as I have a very long body. Yes yes ,I know that they can make the butt look good and if your legs are slim they make them look longer. I look in the mirror and dont see that . I see scruffy and feel uncomfortable.
 
 
 
 My story is this. I was spotted as a model when I was very young in the late 70s. It was a time of high glamour in London. My father then took me to Europe and gave me a glamourous European life. I was lucky enough to have worn couture and  I loved it, no actually revelled in it ! Oh the feel of the satins , silks and cashmeres. I dressed in the truest sense of the word and was rarely  casual , because of the life we lived. Something that has stayed with me even today where life and lifestyles are very  different. Then everyone dressed.  Sure jeans were around too , flares straights embroidered , you name it, but I hated those looks too for me. My look was allways conservative but glamorous. I seem to be stuck in that groove.....LOL Im known for doing the gardening in a pair of fine wool pants and a cashmere sweater. I dont do casual or at least I find it difficult but in saying that, I dont lead a terribly casual lifestyle either, and im known for it. My friends all make fun of me and when they say come over but come casual they know to expect me in a simple black dress rather than a pair of jeans. They all laugh at me but im used to it.
 
 
 
I suppose in todays world where lifestyles are constantly changing and life has become so unstructured, im a bit of a dinosoar. I realise fully that   there is a definite place for the jean in todays world..... lol just not in my world. The Rose is constantly telling me to get in to a pair and ive told her that when she comes here she can take me shopping. Im a glamour girl. That is my world and my life. Jeans my dear Gently dont have a place here....and im grinning as I write this because I know what you must all be thinking
 
 
 
So... what say all you bloggers. Are you jeans people or not? If you are are you exclusively jeans or do you ring the changes... and be honest now!
