Guy Trebay writes a fun article on "denim perfection" in today's NY Times. I have a feeling someone is laughing all the way to the bank.
I still love my high-rise Diesels and thank goodness I have a body for jeans (at least, today). (Girls [and guys], it takes a whole lotta work once you hit 40.)

NYCFoodSnob. Whilst you might be a "FoodSnob" you obviously know nothing about fashion. Every designer that produces jeans tend to charge more for them than they would for a pair of Levis. You can buy jeans for around 2500USD if you look hard enough.
Stop being so easily impressed by things, that includes your over 40 body.

Poor, poor, m_kingdom. If you only knew (something).
Darling, put your bifocals on. This thread is just a reference to a fun article on denim. Show some control, dear.

Snob, my dear, I know only too well that fashion and fun are intrinisically bonded. After all, the icon, and legend that is Vivienne Westwood believes even formalwear can still have some "joie de vivre" injected into it, as she demonstrates so well in her extraordinary creations.
Let's turn this into a travel related post - at the V&A "Vivienne Westwood, a retrospective" - this exhibition is what is says - a look at the life, and creations of Vivienne Westwood.

I'm sorry, did I miss something here? Did I just read that m_kingdom missed an injection? I didn't know Vivienne Westwood was a plastic surgeon.
Who makes "joie de vivre" again? Is that Pfizer or Estee Lauder (God rest her soul)?

<<thank goodness I have a body for jeans>>
Gee, most plumbers have a body for jeans, too whether they are under or over 300 pounds. Mot sure what other choices they would have, if it were not for jeans. Double amputees in wheelchairs can wear jeans. Who can't? You haven't been lately to the place that seels more jeans than any place else: Wal-mart.
Even Mosieur Trebay acknowledges this: "Although a majority of jeans sold to Americans cost less than $20..."
A body for a tuxedo I understand; a body for a bikini I can understand. But a body for jeans? What is that?
Quoting from the article further...
"I have friends who make fun of me for paying $150 for jeans," said Scott Willig, a senior at Princeton
Duh.
Best wishes,
Rex

OK, enough squabbling, let's have fun. Here's a bit of fashion for the taking, (questionable taste) that will give most everyone a giggle. The guy is auctioning off his ex-wife's wedding gown. When I first looked at the link this morning it had 98,000 hits, and in less than an hour it's up to 124,000! Be sure to read his entire commentary. Hurry hurry, one day left on the auction!
