Score a Free Pair of Levi’s® Curve ID Jeans!

Real women have curves. It's true. So we need jeans that are comfortable and hug us in all the right places. So allow me to introduce you to Levi's® Curve ID, the company's first global women's denim line.

Levi's has always been known for quality denim, and now the brand is tailored to fit the needs of women in all shapes and sizes.

Did you know that only twenty-eight percent of women find jeans to fit their body type?

The designers studied the bodies of more than 60,000 women to develop three custom fits based on the difference between the measurement of a woman’s hip and seat – the greater the difference, the more curvy the body.

The three styles are:

Slight Curve is designed to define a woman's waist while accentuating her curves. If jeans usually fit in the hips and thighs but are too tight in the waist, a woman should try the Slight Curve.

Demi Curve is designed to flatter a woman’s waist, while smoothing her shape. If jeans usually fit in the waist, but don’t flatter the figure, a woman should try the Demi Curve. I got my pair of Demi Curve straight-legged jeans in black (see me being fitted in the second photo).

Bold Curve is designed to hug the waist, without gapping or pulling. If jeans usually fit in the hips and thighs, but gap in the back, a woman should try the Bold Curve.

Note: If you have an even curvier figure, Supreme Curve is coming soon.

Do you want a pair? If you're in New York City on Friday, Aug. 27, head to Bryant Park (42nd Street btwn 5th and 6th Aves) where Levi's is giving away 1000 free pairs of the Curve ID jeans starting at 10 a.m. Just bring in an item of clothing to donate to Goodwill.

As if you needed any other incentive, uber-talented pop-rock-soul chick Janelle Monae will perform around noon. Love her and her pompadour.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore. I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued. I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store. And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and...

DanceAfrica 2024 Returns to Brooklyn Academy of Music

The DanceAfrica Bazaar is one of my favorite annual street fairs. I love to watch folks show up and show out in their flyest Afrocentric garb and to shop for handmade beaded bracelets and earrings from the African vendors. And when I'm fortunate enough to snag a ticket as I did this year courtesy of BAM, I enjoy watching the kinetic African dancers (this time the country featured is Cameroon) during the spirited and spirit-filled DanceAfrica performance at the Howard Gilman Opera House. (Photos courtesy of BAM/Tony Turner) If you want to join in the fun, here's the weekend lineup that's truly for the culture.
