Picture Thread. May 2011.
Seventeen hours into May and there's no picture thread yet.
Get on the ball, people.

Edit: Good Lord that's a big picture.
This is why we can't have nice things.
how are those Cheap Monday jeans? I need some new black skinnies.
Fuck yeah Phil smoking a blunt.

Well, if everyone's gunna smoke.
You know in all the years I've been here I've never been sigged?
I was sad to see the bottom of such a perfectly crafted latte. seriously, best coffee in arkansas.

then this happened

and now I'm recovering

I shouldn't go into details, but I'm pretty sure last night goes on the list of "most ridiculous nights" in my book. every time I walked in a room someone was smoking weed and I was always asked to start. I was double fisting goddamn heaven hill rum (to keep some class I also had a few blue moons). I didn't know anyone at the party but I became a sensation due to the headdress I found in the garage. people referred to me as chieftan the entire night. this guy found me alone in the garage (looking for my phone) and just starts trying to hook up with me. HE RIPPED THE CROTCH OF MY TIGHTS and was practically eating my face and I was like "woaaahaahahahaha who are you lololo?" ...then a woman walks into the garage and yells "FUCK YOU, PAUL!"
...it was his wife.
I'm getting into a lot of details. more than I thought I would. I'm not gonna go any further with that. it was a great fucking night though, albeit really weird at some points. I did a lot of dancing. I even got taco bell at some point. I probably took a few years off of my life.
party on.
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
...it was his wife.
That worried me for a moment. Glad that didn't get ugly for you. 
...it was his wife.
That worried me for a moment. Glad that didn't get ugly for you. :D
I feel bad for his wife. I know I'm not at fault, but damn that sucks. and I had talked to that guy earlier in the night and he was being flirty, it wasn't like some person I'd never seen before came after me. but I didn't even know his name (until his wife made it known). so yeah, it was weird and I felt guilty for a little while, but I'm over it.
BRAND NEW PAIR OF TIGHTS, UGH. >__>

This whole situation is fucking with my head. I mean were you into it or was he assulting you? I'm not judging you if it was the former (I'd rather hear it was that) but it sounds like the latter, and that you feel bad for his wife instead of being pissed at his nerve is making me sad.

I don't think he assaulted me. I was really drunk and probably down for whatever. I had senses that tried to kick in and say "noooo, we shouldn't be doing this right now" but I was really sloshed. I haven't been that drunk in a long time. so I was probably coming off like a tease, which, in retrospect I could have been doing. I don't really know. he did have some nerve. I guess I should be pissed at said stranger, but I think I put myself in that situation and I could have easily ran off or yelled for someone or punched him in the dick but I didn't. so I guess that means it's whatever.
right?
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
Well, yeah. If you feel ok with what happened then it is whatever. I was just worried by the way you said it all that you didn't feel ok about it but were afraid to say so.
Yeah, I'm not comfortable with any of that.
This is why we can't have nice things.
If Cam's cool with it, I'm cool with it. But, the fact that he ripped the crotch of your stockings is very fucking unsettling. If the circumstance was different--as in, you were into it--it'd probably just be really hot. Alas, that's not the case.
Smoking.jpeg to come.
And, Kit, Cheap Mondays are pretty cool. If you get the actual denim ones. They have these other ones that're aren't actual denim. They're, like, cotton or something. And they're kinda fucked. Depending on how much you wanna spend, you can't really go wrong with a pair of LEE stovepipes. At all. Great jeans.
Lee in the US may be drastically different than in Oz. Here there are slightly inferior Levi's.
My Cheap Mondays I ordered from Sweden when they were still not available in any way in the US. I paid a stupid amount for them but wanted them desperately. They may be different from the ones now being sold here much cheaper. I really like mine, but there are certain days of the month where I just can't wear them. I think you know what I mean.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Ha.
No, Lee isn't inferior. At all. But, I mean, you can't go past a pair of Levi's. You just can't. Wrangler, also superior. Nudie do a pretty badass pair of super-tight skinnies. But they're ridiculously expensive. And, I'm not even sure if you can buy them in the US. I think they might be an Aussie company. But, I'm probably lying because I know next to nothing about fashion, nor do I care about it very much. I normally just buy the cheap 30-40 dollar jeans from Jay Jays.
Aye, and I like them too!

Wrangler and Lee are two of the cheapest quality jeans you can buy in the states.

By the way, I was looking for the sailor Irish guy from the Irish Spring commercials, but this was.... better.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Like I said, I'm not a fashion guru. And, as far as I'm concerned, if a pair of jeans is between 120-200 a pair, they're probably not on the lower tier of quality or whatever.
I don't know shit about brands.
Oh, there's much crappier than Lee and Wrangler.
I'm looking at you, Mr. Combs.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I don't know shit about brands.
I'll go to walmart and get you some jeans for $15 a piece and sell them to you for $30. deal?

Still, some douche just got all rapetastic on our Fudgecamel and what are we gonna do about it? That's really what I'm stuck on at t'moment.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Jeans convos shouldn't be going on in pic thread howevs...
Wrangler, Lee, and Levis suck. I've always found Arizonas comfortable and durable, but I'm no monopolist.
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
Commie.
This is why we can't have nice things.
How much is a pair of Levi's, Wrangler, Lee over there?
Wranglers are $15-20, Lee $20-30. Not sure about Levi's

Levi's shrink-to-fit 501s list at $54 to $68 depending on type. They usually sell for around $40, however.
I bought some in gray last week.
This is why we can't have nice things.
That is bullshit. Did you see how much I said they cost here? Fuck. When I hit the states I'm coming with an extra change of clothes and an empty bag. Shit is rough.
I'm wearing a pair of jeans I bought at target. No name, or target brand or whatever. I'm pathetic.
As far as what we are going to do about Cam's evening and its events, I think the onlt thing we can do is let her know it is ok for her to feel whatever way she feels about it, and remind her that even if she was being the biggest tease in the world she is still not at fault for for anyone elses actions. If she had a good time fantastic, if not she can't blame herself for someone else being a douche.

the aforementioned tights with crotch ripping.
honestly, now that i've thought it over and i'm not as hungover, i don't feel so great about it. like, i'm not crying foul or anything, i'm not injured or messed up about it, but like, that guy did not handle himself well. especially since he basically just pounced on me. i mean, i'm no saint. if i was hitting it off well with a guy and things happened to heat up, hey, that's a fun night. but he basically took 2 minutes of drunk flirting and later tried to finger me in the garage/beer pong while i was searching for my phone i had dropped while shaking my ass.
i'm sure i'll never see him again so whatever.

btw if it were a different situation YES

Definitely had a bra or two ruined in the same way...
Even if you aren't upset with what happened, look at it this way. It's so annoying because now you have to go buy more tights!!!

UGH AND I'M ALREADY BROKE AS SHIT. honestly I'll still wear them for a while. I fucking love tights. and pantyhose. I don't know why.
I'd cut someone if they fucked up my bra like that. my bras are fucking expensive.

Is it still cool enough for tights up there? I kind of hate you.

it's fucking cold up here today. 43 degrees, windy, and rainy. but the weather is really nice and springy most of the time, sometimes it gets around 70 but it's always really windy (not conducive to skirt-wearing).
my legs get SO cold constantly. like, they're always cold, so to keep myself from getting constant frissons in class I wear black pantyhose/tights because I always wear dresses. I just like the way they feel. *shrug*

Merona. I have a pair. They're decent jeans for the price.
Target also now sells Levi Strauss Signature brand which are made by Levi's exclusively for Target (and maybe Wallmartyr). Those are the same Levi's quality in a slightly different style and at a lower price. They have some finishes not available to regular Levi's that I'd wear the hell out of.

The problem with the target Levis... (and I know, because I wear them nearly exclusivly. Target4life) is that they fall apart rather quickly. Same with Merona.
However, for some reason their Converse stuff seems to be lasting me twice as long.
You know in all the years I've been here I've never been sigged?

yeah, Lee in the USA is wayyy different to Lee in Australia. Crazily so. Lee here seems to be in the Mom jeans/working man's jeans department, rather than the hip young and trendy department. Rather a shame, really.
I actually hate buying jeans, because usually the only ones I can find that fit right end up being really expensive. I do usually wear them to death though, so I figure it's worth it. I have 4 pairs of Nudies right now in varying states of worn-ness. I think they've spoiled me for cheap jeans because the denim is so nice and heavy feeling. I have a pair of black Nudies, though because I bought them just before I moved here in '09 and I put on some weight last year now they don't fit. I need to lose weight so I can fit back into them but I also want some black jeans to wear right now. First world problems.
Also voting that the guy who ripped Cam's tights is a total douchebag.
Yeah, last time I remember Lee being hip was when I was about 12, early ninties, they are exclusivly dorky mom wear now. I can't even remember when the last time I thought about going to get some Lee's, shit I'm wearing target pants while I dog on Lee.
Yeah, over here Dickies is a street wear brand. I understand you guys use it as tradie workwear? We wear a brand called Hard Yakka to work in (well that use to be the leading one).
Haha. Such a first world problem.
I can't justify buying a pair of Nudies. They're like 220(?) a pair. That's crazy. They are super good though. I stole a friend's pair for a while, until he noticed.
Shame about Lee. Here they're badass. Again, I've only ever had hand-me-downs or stolen ones because I can't justify spending that much money on jeans. I'm cheap.
I got a pair of Lee pants to wear for work. They're totally dorky, but they're comfortable and I don't have to worry about getting ink and toner and all other kinds of crap on them.
I justify expensive jeans with the good old 'cost per wear' breakdown.
