The jeans denim explosion especially since the late 1990s and which went even further in the last decade and has probably gotten even bigger in the first two years of this decade especially with skinny denim and leather jeans for women. And with skinny jeans for women that have been around since 2005 or 06 which as guy I gotta admit I think it's great checking out sexy women who love their tight jeans. Especially checking out sexy female celebrity's in their tight jeans. And now that even tight jeans have become such a versatile pant for women, no longer considered just a casual pant. It has completely changed how sexy women dress in and out of work.

With women now wearing skinny jeans to the office, not just on Casual Friday, as well as out on the weekend and at night. And wearing them in all weather not just in the fall or winter. But during hot humid summers, like in the Mid-West, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Wearing tight jeans not just with t-shirts and tank tops, but with sweaters, blouses, suit jackets it's become very important for women to make sure that when they are out in tight jeans or shopping for tight jeans, that they are wearing the tight jeans and buying the tight jeans that show off their bodies as best as possible.

That they don't wear tight jeans that make them look fat, skinny or look like hookers. Like with the famous ass crack jeans of 2001-02. Where if a women sat down or bended over, she was at risk of revealing her ass crack and perhaps seeing it on TV or the internet or both. Especially with the camcorder revolution and people being able to record video on their cell phones. Low-rise jeans, skinny jeans good. Ass crack jeans bad, women should find the balance that makes them look sexy in them. And shows off their figures but doesn't make them look like prostitutes looking for a man to pay their bills.

Perhaps this video can help women find that right balance. Also for me anyway, not a fan of trouser jeans, they might be stylish for a women and make them feel like they can wear jeans to work and still look dressy or professional. But the office far as I'm concern might be the only good place for them. I'm not going to get the feeling to check out a women, I don't care how sexy she is physically, just because she's wearing trouser jeans. I would get the same satisfaction checking out a women wearing baggy sweatpants or slacks.

Denim to me on women anyway, like leather are meant to be tight. One reason why there are both denim jeans and leather jeans and a lot of women and men shopping for both denim and leather jeans that are the tightest possible without sucking the blood from their legs so they can no longer walk. Sort of like that Seinfeld episode (sorry I watched the show a lot) where Kramer was wearing designer jeans from like 1982 or something that were so tight that he literally couldn't move his legs in them.

So low-rise and skinny jeans great, jeans with boots, whether they are under or over the jeans are great. The tight dark wash designer jeans explosion for women in the late 1970s, the greatest advancement in style for women I believe ever. As far as sex appeal goes, but women should where the jeans that are best for their body and don't buy jeans that are for another body. That just causes problems. 

Euro News: 'Canadians Brace Themselves For Political Uncertainty'

"Canadians have gone to the polls in a federal election but the outcome is proving far from easy to predict. The ruling Conservatives are expected to win the most seats but it's anyone's guess if they'll clinch a majority. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has warned his fellow countrymen against casting protest votes for a previously small opposition party, the left-leaning New Democrats."

This might sound strange coming from an outsider to Canada, but when I saw that the Conservative Government lose a no-confidence vote in the House of Commons on Friday, it signaled to me that Canada is starting to become like Italy in a way, changing government's every few years. Because none of the major parties in Canada have enough support or the full trust of the Canadian people to stay in power and at least finish their full term. 

This is an indicator to me anyway as an American outsider, that it's time for electoral reform in Canada. And at least set up a system where when one party wins the General Election and becomes the ruling party, that they at least get to finish their term. Whether thats four years or five years. 

And then have mid term elections similar to America, where the Canadian House and Senate run for reelection. So if the Canadian people doesn't like the government halfway through, they would be able to respond by electing Members of Parliament from the other parties to make the Prime Minister weaker and send them the message that they don't like what they're doing and you need to change course. Or you could very well be out of power in the next election. 

This would allow the Prime Minister to take bold leadership and actually lead the country. And not have to worry about facing a no-confidence vote every time they make a tough decision. And if voters don't like what the Prime Minister is doing, they can take it out on the ruling party in the mid term elections as well in the next General Election. 

Also, even though the Canadian Parliament is technically a bicameral Legislature like the United States Congress the Canadian Senate even though it's technically the upper chamber, has almost no real authority if any. Unlike the U.S. Senate which is the upper chamber in Congress, by title and in practice. The House of Commons has most of the power in Parliament. The Canadian Senate is very similar to the United Kingdoms House of Lords, in structure and in practice with appointed Senators and not much if any authority. 

So I would make the Senate democratic with all the senators up for reelection. And make the Leader of the Senate and at large member and the Leader of the majority party. With the Minority Leader the Leader of the Minority Party also an at large member. The Senate representing the Canadian Provinces and territories equally. Similar to the U.S. Senate and the real upper chamber in Parliament. 

If you're going to have a Senate in a democracy, then it should have real authority and be accountable to the people. Looks like Canada will have another General Election in May, for like the fourth time in like six years. Hopefully the Canadian people will vote for a party they like and trust. Rather than vote for the lesser of the evils.

From The Doors 

This is from the San Francisco concert scene from Oliver Stone's The Doors (1991) with The Doors and Jim Morrison (played by Val Kilmer) performing Run. And you see Morrison running all over the stage literally and taking the song literally and doing all sorts of dances in his black jacket, skin-tight, black leather jeans, black cowboy boots, like her was a professional athlete or dancer, looking very sexy and performing the song real well.

When I see Oliver Stone’s movie The Doors from 1991, I see a pretty entertaining movie. Where Val Kilmer plays Jim Morrison, the vocalist of The Doors, does a pretty good job of playing the Lizard King. Sings all the lyrics himself, with no lip syncing. Except that he’s three inches taller and a bigger man physically than Jim Morrison.

From what I know about The Doors, the only scenes that were accurate, were the concert in New Haven from 1967. Where Morrison gets arrested in concert for being vulgar to New Haven police. And the Miami concert, where Morrison again gets arrested for in descent exposure and trying to incite violence. It’s a very entertaining movie, funny even, but a fantasy of what happened with that band and especially Jim Morrison in the late 60s.

Oliver Stone is a big fan of Morrison, but I think he directed the movie, the way he thought Morrison was and his experiences of The Doors. Instead of the way they actually were. Val Kilmer who plays Jim Morrison in the movie, is in I believe all the scenes. The movie looks more like a fictional portrayal of Jim Morrison. Rather than an autobiographical movie of The Doors. Robbie Krieger who was the guitarist in the real band The Doors said that the only scene that happened in real-life, was the Miami concert scene.

The Miami concert wasn’t much of anything other than an improv. With Morrison showing up two hours late for the concert, more drunk than even usual. Jim Morrison didn’t drink like a fish, but a see of fish. He’s too drunk to sing, paranoid and a few minutes into the concert once it finally starts, Jim Morrison stops singing or giving his pathetic personation of singing. And starts cursing at the audience and insulting them. Actually accusing Miami of hiding Adolph Hitler of all people. The concert turned into Amateur Night at the Improv real fast.

One thing that Oliver Stone got correct besides Miami, was the Jim Morrison’s wardrobe. With over an hour of footage of the Lizard King wearing his famous skin-tight lambskin black Leather jeans. Silver concho belt, brown suede cowboy boots and black leather cowboy boots. There’s over an hour footage of Morrison wearing his black leathers the pants that he made stylish on his own. There’s a great line in the movie where Pam, Jim’s girlfriend tells to change those stinky leathers that he’s been wearing the last three weeks. Classic Jim Morrison.

The black skin-tight leather jeans you now see a lot of rockers wearing, I know this only because I’m a big fan of the Lizard King, I love blues rock, The Doors sound. And I own several books and movies about The Doors. So watching this movie was like reading a great fiction. Very entertaining, but you don’t learn anything knew about the subject that you’re watching. The real Lizard King is in this video.
