Considering Magic Johnson’s business savvy, it’s not a surprise that wife Cookie (who has a degree in Retailing of Clothing and Textiles) would team up with one of the industry’s best—Michael Glasser, founder of 7 for all Mankind and Citizens of Humanity and current owner of Rich & Skinny—for new premium demim line CJ by Cookie Johnson.

The collection includes boot cut, straight leg, boyfriend, high-waist styles, plus leggings, running from $145-$198 in sizes 24-38. The fit is catered to curvy, fit women, women who don’t fall into the “standard, slim cut of premium jeans,” which, let’s face it, is a lot of customers. Check a number of styles online at Nordstrom, and also Cookie’s arms after the jump, she is fit.

In honor of the recent Earth Day consider organic denim the next time you’re in the market for a new pair of jeans. Cotton and in fact, denim is sprayed with gallons of yucky pesticides and soaked in dyes and fabric finishes to give your fantasy pair of jeans just the right finish. Each season more brands are launching organic or eco-friendly denim collections. It’s just a matter of time before your beloved brand offers your perfect fit in organic cotton.

This post is dedicated to my dear friend... jck

In this day-and-age men's fashion has reached an all time high of what the hell?!. In a good way? I think NOT. Prime Example - White Skinny Jeans

There is nothing attractive about seeing a man walking down the street with tighter pants on than me, and on top of them being form-fitting, they're white. There's also a certain enabling swag factor that comes along with these restricting bottoms, a kind of "walk or stride" if you will that screams... "caution i tried too hard so do not approach". Don't get me wrong, skinny jeans do work for SOME men, but if you are not on a runway or live in Jamaica... then you are not that man. I think it's only fair to share my opinion to those who may be considering crossing over to the skinny jean era... slim thuggas are not the juice, don't have any juice and if you go out of the house in a pair - especially colored - odds are you won't be GETTING any juice either. That's not to say I'm against all skinny jeans a.k.a. slim thuggas, I'm just saying at a certain age... (past 17) I should not see a man in a club, lounge, bar, pub, roof, basement or attic in a tight pair of pants made to reflect the sun. It just shouldn't happen.


(see photo to the right...) and now I ask... What do you think?

O I am so feeling this situation. I knew one day somebody would come to their senses and create something named after Mia [Anita]. It was only a matter of time.
