Sex and Unsuspected Life Lessons from a Small Piece of Denim
Empowering people to wear clothes with confidence and busting the modesty myth.
The other day I bought a pair of really sexy denim shorts in Istanbul.
This was not a premeditated act of rebellion or provocation. I saw them in a cool shop. Tried them on. Looked bangin’ in them. Didn’t think twice about dropping 20 bucks. And left the shop with them on, feeling like a hot tamale.
(Stay with me ‘cos this is gonna get deep)
I bought them because they make my waist look skinny, my legs look long and because it’s damn hot in Turkey and I like as little clothing on my legs as possible.
Who knew a small piece of denim could bring up so many deep reflections (and an unsuspected treat too)?

- Even if they are, that’s their business.
