Oprah made an exciting new discovery. “The perfect jeans for real women with real booties,” she says. “For three days straight, I had on the jeans.” Even though she calls herself a “hard-core pajama girl,” Oprah says she wore the jeans for a five-hour flight—they were that comfortable.

The line is called CJ by Cookie Johnson, and the mastermind behind them is the wife of NBA legend Magic Johnson. “I had a hard time finding a jean to fit me,” Cookie says. “Every time I [would] go to the stores, I put the jeans on and I couldn’t get them past my thighs. I thought: ‘I’m in good shape. I work out. I eat healthy. Why can’t I find a jean to fit me?’”

Cookie says she eventually had a realization that changed the course of her career. “I said: ‘You know what, it’s not me. It’s the industry.’” So Cookie decided to take matters into her own hands. “I said: ‘That’s it. I’m going to create a hot jean for us girls with curves so we can look just as good as that little skinny girl out there.’”

Cookie launched her very own line of jeans, CJ by Cookie Johnson, in early 2009. One of the secrets to the jeans’ success, Cookie says, is stretch. Since CJ by Cookie Johnson jeans are for a wide range of body shapes, they come in a wide range of sizes. “They start at 24 to 38,” Cookie says. “Which translates from size 2 to size 18.”
