Alright, let’s talk about this… this… jeans… thingy, and that girl, Candice Swan-something, yeah? I saw her picture once, pretty thing, kinda like those fancy dolls my granddaughter plays with. But them dolls don’t wear no jeans, do they? This Candice girl, though, she wears ‘em. And folks seem to care about it, so I guess I gotta talk about it too, ya know?
So, this Candice girl in jeans. What’s the big deal? Jeans are jeans, right? We all wear ‘em. I wear ‘em when I’m working in the garden, picking them tomatoes and whatnot. They’re tough, good for getting dirty. But this girl, she wears ‘em different, I reckon. Fancy like.
- First off, she’s got all sorts of jeans. Skinny ones, tight like sausage casings. I tell ya, I tried those once, couldn’t hardly breathe! Then she’s got them loose ones, baggy, like you could hide a whole chicken in each leg. Me? I just like the ones that fit, not too tight, not too loose, ya know? Just right for bending over and pullin’ weeds.
- And the colors! Lord have mercy. Blue jeans, black jeans, white jeans… even seen some with holes in ‘em! Now, I ain’t payin’ good money for somethin’ that’s already broken, you hear? But these young folks, they like that ripped-up look, I guess. More power to ‘em, but it ain’t for me.
- Then there’s how she wears ’em. She’s got these pictures, all over the place, internet thingy my grandson showed me. She wears jeans with high heels, can you believe it? High heels! How’s a body supposed to work in high heels? And fancy shirts, silky things, sometimes even sparkly ones. I wear my jeans with a plain old shirt, comfortable like. And maybe a sweater when it’s cold.
Now, this internet thing, it says people are always looking for Candice’s “outfits” and “looks.” Well, I ain’t got no “outfits.” I got clothes. And I wear ‘em to keep warm and decent. But this girl, she’s got “airport outfits.” Imagine that! Special clothes just for sittin’ on a plane. Seems a bit much, if you ask me. They say she wears jeans with a special “item” to look “fashion.” Fashion, hah! Back in my day, fashion was a clean apron and a smile.
And they talk about her “trademark style.” What’s a trademark style? Sounds like something you put on a cow, not a person. But I guess it means she wears jeans a certain way, a way people like. They say she wears “oversized sweaters” and “leather tote bags” with her jeans. Sounds heavy to me. I carry my vegetables in a basket, much easier on the arms.
This girl, Candice, she’s a model, they say. From some place far away, Africa or somethin’. She went to a boarding school, fancy place, not like our little one-room schoolhouse. And then, bam! Someone saw her at a flea market and now she’s famous for wearin’ jeans. Life’s funny that way, ain’t it? One minute you’re sellin’ junk, the next you’re wearin’ it, and folks are callin’ it fashion.
So, jeans. Candice’s jeans. They’re just jeans, when you get right down to it. But I guess it’s how you wear ‘em, what you wear ‘em with, and who’s wearin’ ‘em that makes all the difference. Me, I’ll stick to my comfy, workin’ jeans. And let this Candice girl strut her stuff in her fancy ones. To each their own, I say. As long as everyone’s got somethin’ to cover their behind, that’s all that matters, right?
And one more thing, I heard this girl had a baby, a boy. Good for her. Hope she puts some sensible jeans on that little fella, keep him warm and comfy. None of that ripped-up nonsense, ya hear?
Now, you young folks, go on and wear your jeans however you please. Just remember, they started out as work pants. So, don’t be afraid to get ‘em dirty. That’s what they’re made for.
