Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHONWhere would we be without Levi Strauss? As you probably know, he was the would-be gold prospector who failed in the Gold Rush, but who found his fortune (and started a fashion trend to survive the ages) by turning the canvas of abandoned tents into tough trousers for prospectors. I readily confess that I am a slave to denim as soon as I get out of my work clothes.
This post is for Z, the final letter of Mrs Nesbitt's ABC Wednesday before she takes us back to the letter A all over again. In the meantime, could you help me list all the Z-words you can think of (without looking at a dictionary) .... Zap, Zombie, Zimbabwe, Zebra, Zephyr, Zinc, Zuider Zee, Zither..... it's over to you now.
I love your titles and footnotes - you have such a way with words ;-)
ReplyDeleteHiya David~!who could live without denim!..woop!
ReplyDeleteSince I am now "semi" retired, I can pretty much wear blue jeans anytime and anywhere(except to bed and when officiating sports)....down to 4 dress shirts and one suit(which works equal for weddings and funerals, both about the same thing in my mind)....and no dress shoes(I'll buy a new pair for the next funeral)....
ReplyDeleteRiveting indeed!!
ReplyDeleteYou mean there are OTHER types of clothing, besides denim jeans?
ReplyDeleteActually, I prefer the black denim---only have to wash them HALF as often!
"Where would we be without Levi Strauss?" Probably for 95% of us---NAKED! As in no "real" clothes!
A.K.A.---ZILCH!
Thanky Misty! It's all about having fun!
ReplyDeleteHi WomanHonorThyself,
ReplyDeleteNot me, that's for sure!
Hi Pat,
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should swap places!
Hi Casdok,
ReplyDeleteCouldn't resist using that word!!
Hi Bruno,
ReplyDeleteYou always make me laugh! As for me, I have never work black denim - only blue and NEVER the dark blue!
Did you mention zero? ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy lips are zipped. :-)
zoology!
ReplyDelete(and there was a Z in my word verification box)
What did we wear before denim???
ReplyDeleteZ....... erm, no I can't think of one word :(
I just wanted to meantion how much I like the second photo. To me there is a huge differece between the two photos. Just by changing the angle you added so much dimension!
ReplyDeleteResult of the Christmas food?
ReplyDeleteThank you for visting me!
Nice post. I, too, marvel at denim. Great invention.
ReplyDeleteJeans are so much a part of our lives. Think how cool you could be as a kid with the right pair of Levi's!
zone, zest, zealous (is that a word?). You have ruined my evening! lol. I'll be constantly trying to think of z words.
ReplyDeletefrom the heart of minnesota...don't forget Zamboni!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute post. What WOULD we do without denim?
ReplyDeleteDo biblical names count? How about Zechariah, Zebulon, Zeke, Zucchini, zinnia, zerk (don't know if it's spelled right, but it's that little nubbin that you put grease into on farm equipment), zeal,and that's all for now. I am zonked.
ReplyDeleteTM
that's a Zealous *Zed*
ReplyDeletepeace n fun, Kai
Ok, my mind is evidently in the gutter because I find that photo totally erotic. Shame, shame.
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps I am the only one bold enough to say so.
Love the shots.
ReplyDeleteMy Z word. Zeppelin.

Okay, I'm weird.
Hi David, I thought zebras were going to dominate this weekks ABC posts. Looks like zips won the day.
ReplyDeleteFor about the first time in my life I do not have any blue denim jeans. They all wore out - maybe it is a good thing I did not replace them, because my new lifestyle has resulted in a significant weight loss and reduction in the midrif. I'll give it another month to replace my wardrobe and will start with the jeans
I love to wear denim except when I sleep. How about Zeppo, Zany, Zero, Zeus, Zabasearch, Zimbabwe, Zebra, Zoo, Zoology, Zoologist, ...etc. Luckily, I'm not playing Scrabble otherwise I'm sure to lose.
ReplyDeleteWas ZOO mentioned? Zonk?Zit?Zing?
ReplyDeletezany (me), zeal/zealot (me), zenith (me not there yet), zest(y) (me), zip(py) (me), zone (me there sometimes. Hope I've helped you a bit - not zero. ;D
ReplyDeleteHas Zulu been mentioned? Great picture of the denims! I love my jeans too, hardly ever wear anything else.
ReplyDeleteThere was an advert a number of years ago of a young guy (particularly gorgeous!) who stripped off in a launderette and washed his denims. I can't remember which make was being advertised but the guy sticks in my head. For some reason!!

Hi Dave,
ReplyDeleteLike your photographs. Not a great fan of jeans, but they can look great depending on who's wearing them!
Dave
I did sipper as well! Figures there would be a few others. I like yours!
ReplyDeleteHey David! Lighning Post here! LOL! I have already figured out my first few ABC's! LOL for the next round...I think I will have a theme too.....the nesbitt household, where you don't have to be mad to live here but it certainly helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Post of the Day recognition...plenty more tales to tell my dear Ausie Author!
I never before noticed how photo-worthy an open zipper can be.
ReplyDeleteGreat jeans, it's quite a sexy photo.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my blue jeans!! Nothing else like them in the world. Keith Urban sings it just right too!!
ReplyDeleteHow about Zucchini and Zephyr.
