Yves St. Laurent and my wife's jeans

The death of this fashionista reminded us of this man's great influence: it was he who brought us pants worn by women, and later women's jeans. A radically liberal idea at the time, it's kind of funny to see the most conservative women embracing this change. One of my wife's conservative girl friends confirmed that pants are much more comfortable than skirts and dresses. (I personally think they both look degrees of magnitude more beautiful and captivating in dresses.)

This huge change only serves to embolden us liberals that conservatives will eventually get used to all of our new changes through the passage of time. The revolution of Yves St Laurent spurs us on to propose the liberal world without boundaries.

And yet, even the liberal Catholic has his boundaries, which are sometimes hard to reconcile with everything liberal.
