if so, take her to the 45 rpm off madison. it's across the street from Tom Ford/RL Mansion

hand her your CC, and go and get drunk
Sold. She won't buy if she sees the prices (I am guessing over $19.99), but she can pick something out and I can get it for her.

Thanks

Yeesh. If this is at all a common occurrence with the jeans, the contest might have to be scrapped all together. Guess I should be happy my size sold out before I got to them.

This. When I first started getting my girl versed in the raw denim world, she was pretty disgusted by the idea of keeping your jeans from any form of washing for six months.

Yeah. How is that even possible? Were you riding a bicycle with a knife for a seat or something?

Whaaaa. We need pics. Also, what is inverse stacking?

I feel like people are just trying to one up each other with jean horror stories. My Crate vs. Farinelli jeans exploded and gave me third degree burns.

As is with most women who aren't either disgustingly dirty in the first place or ultra hipster commited which means they are in all likelihood wearing nasty ******* legging jeans anyway which will never fade to any sort of good look.

To boot, the results are far less spectacular with women due to a myriad of reasons. The don't wear them as hard, predistressed denim doesn't look as awkward and cheap on women, lap lines make women look wider....

Also whether men will admit or even are aware, all but the skinniest and most bow legged girls thighs rub to some degree. You think your crotch blowouts are bad? Even a size 6 girl would have crotch explosions.

Well, mine just showed up and now I know why they took so long... they left a trail of corpses in their wake. The mailman's body is still on my front steps, don't know what to do with it at this point. Unpacking them caused me to lose my faith in Jesus. Worst of all, since trying them on, I have succumbed to male pattern baldness.

Do me a favor and wear them walking through Toronto. You'd be doing this nation a great service.

Some are going to scoff most certainly but do this: Go to Gap (or any other store that carries a wide range of decent fitting denim) Have her try EVERYTHING on. Here's why and it's something a lot of people here forget but are walking breathing examples of: If you cannot do/buy/know the basics, you shouldn't be auditing the advanced classes. Once she can identify what she likes, what makes her look good and what aspects work for her THEN she can move along. Gap jeans are her much loved $19.99 this weekend too.

I dunno if you are trolling tho dopey, but if you actually took her to 45rpm and she bought an outfit, and then you posted pictures, that would be the coolest thing in the world
