Trying to stay on top of trends. I have been seeing a lot of people with jeans that are ’slashed the fuck up.’ I think that this might be fashionable. I think that some people do this because they think that it ‘legitimately makes them look cool’, but other people do it because it is ‘fucking ridiculous. I feel like it might be reasonable to slash your jeans at the knees, especially if you are like some sort of laborer who tiles floors, or does stuff that involves a lot of bending at the knee joints.
I think I feel worse when I see a bro/tween girl in ’slashed up jeans’ than when I see one in ‘excessively faded’ jeans. Not sure if I’d rather have fade lines/slashes/ or just general regions of faded slashes.
Sort of want to cut slits at the tip of my pant legs so that the jeans fit around my boots [via crombie mainstreamers]. Might buy jeans that are ‘too big’ and I will wear down the heel-area of my jeans, making me look more rugged. It’s always funnie 2 imagine lil azn kids in Asian island nations/Mexico ‘fading’ jeans and ‘cutting them’ to make them seem more rugged.
I hope they are being paid as much as Am Appy workers. Wish that they could file for a transfer or something. I think poor ppl in America ‘take America for granted.’ From what I understand, most poor Americans spend the majority of their welfare checks in the Electronics & Entertainment section of Wal Mart.
Not sure how to feel about pants that are ’slashed the fuck up’, though. I’m not sure if you can redeem those pants at Buffalo Exchange/ur local thrift store without losing a lot of value. (My friend who graduated from Fashion Skewl is in charge of ‘buybacks’ at Buff Ex.)

Damn. Kinda feel like making a joke about a ‘weed wacker’ or something ‘lame’ like that.
This has been a post about not helping ur dad do yard work, and staying inside on your computer, feeling angry that the lawnmower is so loud and u can’t hear the music that ur trying 2 listen 2. This has also been a post about underpaid laborers.
Sorta miss stepdad jeans/standup comedian jeans / mom jeans.

Think Daniel Toshbro had a good idea: we give new jeans 2 the homeless, they wear them out enough so they look fashionable 2 us then we take them back. We can help the homeless but still show them that we’re better than them.

@brobro, Isn’t that why thrift stores were invented?

I’m all for new styles, but come on. Sometimes I pay money for my jeans, and sometimes I sew them myself. I think it’s more “green” or something. Also, I hate uggs boots.

at least skinny jeans are a particular cut of jeans, that’s totes fine w/ me
all types of pre-distressed jeans gross me out tbh, not to mention the apparent positive correlation between how likely they are to just fall apart, and how much they cost

I made my own slashed jeans but I was still wearing them at the time. I think that makes me more of a bro because the jeans are now infused with my blood. I can’t really stand up and walk around right now because of all the blood I lost, but I can still make it to my Macbook .. trying not to get blood on it .. cause I did this at the coffee shop and I think they are calling the police but I don’t want to freak out the cute AZN sitting across from me.

i think most poor americans spend their money on food and knick knacks @ the dollar store.
also, “fade lines/slashes/ or just general regions of faded slashes” are called cat whiskers.

i used to wear ’slashed the fuck up’ jeans and listen to a lot of hair metal. my friends called them ‘venetians’, coz they were kind of like the blinds. i cut them in like 1-inch intervals all the way down both legs front and back, all the way to the seams. they were ‘insane’

@megatitz, bought those last week. feel kind of ‘easy’ wearing them.

Loooooooooove. I actually just recently bought some Levi’s from Goodwill to ‘distress’ and ’slash’ up. Yes, I sewed them into skinnies and ’slashed’ them, but I think the most appealing thing about distressed clothing is that -if you do it yourself- original to you.
Don’t buy that shit already slashed/distressed.
