I am a watcher of people.  They are even more amusing than the monkeys at the zoo, except they dont pick at each other’s hair.  Mostly.  You can sit on a bench in the mall and see every kind of person that you would ever want to see.  Yes, I occasionally see myself in the window of a store.  Thats funny also.

I have noticed for a while that the jeans worn by women have taken a flashy tone.  The back pockets are adorned with large crystal the size of a lemon, surrounded by other smaller flashier stones.  Why would fashion designers all of a sudden feel that they should draw attention to the posterior area of a woman.  Some of these designs look as if the HOPE diamond is trying to get back to the crack in the earth that it was dug up from in the first place. I would assume that the jeans made from the stretchy material like pajamas would be more comfortable to wear and to set in.  I can remember as a youth, walking around with a back pocket full of marbles and I made sure I didnt sit in the wrong position.  In south Texas, there some folks that should not draw attention to that particular part of their anatomy for any reason.

Maybe we should implement a system whereby at our annual physical checkup by our doctor, we are measured, photographed, sized, compared to a chart and if any portion of our bod exceeds specificaions, well, we are simply issued a fashion pass.  This states that we are allowed to wear any old thing we own that is comfortable.  It doesnt have to be in fashion, spiffy or cutting edge.  Just comfortable.  If anyone should happen to comment on your clothing choice, just flash the pass.  Nuff said.
