Jean Therapy

I was mesmerized.

He spoke in a soothing, calming voice.

The entire room was just transfixed.

You mean WE COULD FIT INTO SKINNY JEANS?!

Some shook their heads in disbelief.

Murmurs started in the room.

Questions were raised.

ME? Really?!

According to the Jean Therapist, yes we could.

He would make sure of it.

James Coleman from Saks Fifth Avenue Boston: Jean Therapist.

He was a speaker at "Fit Into Your Skinny Jeans" at Maxime Color Salon. (where I get my hair done).

I wasn't sure about this part of the night's program before I got there. I always think "hungry" or "starving" when I think about fitting into skinny jeans.

But I was wrong.

It's all about the fit, the style and the designer says the Jean Therapist.

He had regular girls in skinny jeans to prove his point.

After that, I was a believer. How could you not be? After listening to James I can't wait to visit him at Saks and fit into my skinny jeans.

I picture walking into a dressing room and throwing myself onto a chaise lounge and telling James all my denim dilemmas. Or all of my problems. Seriously, this guy needs to open up a therapy room.

Couldn't we all use a little Jean Therapy?

What are the two things we hate to try on?

Jeans and bathing suits, right?

So why not have someone tell you the absolute truth about your jeans.

One brave soul did get up in front of the room to show off her jeans. She called them "comfortable", like a "boyfriend jean".

The Jean Therapist cringed. Why would you want to wear your boyfriend's jeans? You're a woman!

He called those jeans "The Bad Boyfriend" jean. You know they're not right for you, but you keep going back. And you only have yourself to blame.

So off I'll go to Saks and see the Jean Therapist. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm sure it will be the perfect fit.
