on wearing blue jeans

I've long suspected that my generation were the first little girls to wear blue jeans, denims, Levi's, call them what you will.  I distinctly remember wearing a pair of wonderful, plaid flannel-lined jeans when I was only seven years old. That would have been in 1951. As the years progressed, I climbed trees, roller skated, rode bikes, always wearing jeans (or shorts or cutoffs in summer) but I don't ever remember seeing my mother or my aunts in any kind of jeans or slacks. My mother-in-law wore her first pant suit in her 70's. My classmates and I wore jeans regularly (of course never to school, we had to wear skirts always in school),
In our teen years we wore our jeans cuffed with bobby socks and saddle shoes.
This morning on TV, in a historical look back at the Levi Strauss company, one interesting fact that came out was that the company made their first pair of women's jeans in 1934, so while we may not have been the very first, we were among the pioneers.
In an interesting bit of history repeating itself, three years ago my brother and his wife gave me a pair of flannel-lined jeans for Christmas and they are just as wonderful as I remember.
