Crackadocious

Time changes things…thank God for that. Have you ever lost patience waiting for a change? Remember when low-rise jeans first appeared on the fashion scene. “Booty-crack” was everywhere women were battling with gravity. He [Gravity] was dropping waistbands and showing booty. My church lady self was already overwhelmed by exposed back and too much booty in the pants. Low and behold…then came crack.

Personally, it is a low day when I expose my crack. Truth is the words low-rise are a curse to me; I was born at least a medium-rise. I can charm my way out of many things, being clumsy, a run in my stocking, bad manicure, and even being late. But I can’t fix my face if I know that I revealed a holy secret…my “crack”.

The trade off for looking good in your clothes is you try on a lot of stuff. The size on the label my say it is intended for juniors 5, 7, 9, 11 etc. or intended to fit women 4, 6, 8, 10. Fit and proportion is very important. A pair of perfect jeans can sometimes be helped by a perfect belt. The cold truth is sometimes the the jeans are saying, “Lady…slowly…move away from the rack…move…away from the rack.”
