blue pockets

the blue pants were not her favorite ones. that honor belonged to the black pants only because they were long enough to not look like highwaters. the black pants had no other redeeming feature - they were button fly [hassle], denim [hot], flat front [not slimming], high waisted [dorky], and didn't have back pockets [useless]. but when she wore a longish top to hide the high waist & flat front and carried a purse to compensate for the lack of back pockets, at least the black pants were long enough to sort of bunch slightly around the tops of her shoes and this allowed her to pretend that she was not freakishly tall. 6'3" - too tall for a woman. seriously. sure - women who are professional athletes might be tall, but they can also afford to buy pants that are long enough. or, have them made. yeah, they probably have them made.

the blue pants were certainly not her favorite ones, but they had back pockets and tonight she would need back pockets. there are some activities you simply cannot participate in without back pockets, and for what she had planned tonight, back pockets were a necessity.
