Novenber - Fashion and Sex Pt 2

Fashion is the science of appearances, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be .....  Edwin Hubbel

Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are .....  Quentin Crisp

Jeans are one of the most popular forms of garment in the World. Their presence was spread through 'Western' movies in the 1930's, off duty Americans in Europe in the 40's, rebellious teenagers in the 50's (James Dean - Rebel Without a Cause) and Hippies in the 60's. The banning of Jeans and Denim in schools in the West and the symbolising of Jeans as 'Western Decadence' in the East pretty much guaranteed their worldwide success and popularity.

Forever in search of a mate or, failing that, a fuck at least, people use dress to signal their success in life But they also crave and need to assert their authenticity. In an increasingly fake World they want to say "I'm Real".

Serge de Nimes (material from Nimes - hence Denim) came to represent Work, Active & exciting outdoor pursuits, Rebellion and Individualism. However, becoming so popular and common tended to defeat this purpose. So in India, and elsewhere, manufacturers' producing jeans and denim by the millions, after making a perfectly good garment set about to destroy them and make them look old for sale. They wash them with stones, sandblast them, grind down edges, sandpaper areas of wear,, press in creases, fray edges, cut slits and bleach fade sections. All this so people can pretend to have done things they haven't, been places never visited, endured hardships never encountered and in general lived a life not experienced.

Of course one has to pay extra for all this fakery but then it might just improve your chances with the opposite sex.

Jokes:

1.       A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wearing an earring.

This man knows his co-worker to be a somewhat conservative fellow, so naturally he’s curious about the sudden change in fashion sense. The man walks up to his co-worker and says, “I didn’t know you were into earrings.”

“Don’t make such a big deal, it’s only an earring,” he replies sheepishly.

“Well, I’m curious,” begged the man, “how long have you been wearing an earring?”

“Ehr, ever since my wife found it in our bed.”

2.          Two lawyers are leaving the office. “I can’t wait to get home,” says one of them. “As soon as I walk in the door, I’m going to rip my wife’s panties right off.” “I know the feeling, ” the other says. “No, I’m serious,” says the first. “They’re killing me.”
