jeans... part 2

so continuing from my previous 'jean' blog... it appears that it hasn't been a temporary condition :(
I'm practically staring at other people's jeans design. crap... I'm becoming a jean-freak... wonder if there's a treatment center for that, or a patch. Damn you person who did this to me... you know who you are :)

I bought a few fitted jeans from India. Spykar's the brand... and they rock!! 'Numero Uno' sucked fitting wise... and I didn't get chance to try 'Flying Machine'. Gotta say, these Indian brand names sound very cool... specially 'Flying Machine'...

I've gotten comments that I look like a different person... and my response is usually... 'super', but I'm still fond of my 'old' jeans, so, after weeks and weeks of careful thinking/planning, hiring a few analysts... We came up with a game plan... I'll wear my 'old' jeans on weekdays & 'cool' jeans on weekend :) problem solved.

Few interesting things I noticed regarding shopping in India...
a) Whenever I entered a speciality store and looked at the merchandise (i.e. jeans), somebody will immediately ask me if I need help. When I said 'no', they stayed close.. waiting for me... I never quite figured out why?

b) All jeans length are standard size, so after you select a jean to purchase, you have to get it altered (i.e. tailored) to fit your size. Not sure what the rational is for not having length size like they do waist... eh.. go fig...

Can't believe I blog about jeans...

jeans jeans everywhere...

I went jeans shopping with a couple of friends yesterday (apparently, there is such a thing as jeans shopping).

background:
for me, jeans are jeans, I wear then and not care much about what they look like apart from the color.


So it turns out that the jeans I wear on a regular basis lack style, actually, quoting my friend here "your jeans don't even have a style"

We go to Guess showroom and she picks out 3 jeans for me to try on. Apart from jeans looking 'different' (that's the only word I can think off to describe them), I didn't really see how they were any better then my currently owned jeans.

So I tried one on and showed it to my friends, both remarked that I looked much better, one oohed & ahhed; I still couldn't really figure out what the big deal was, but was told that since I wear crappy jeans, I wouldn't really know what good jeans are.

I looked at the price and said "are you kidding me... these jeans are $98", my friend replied "at least they are not $120, which I thought they would be" (mind boggling response, considering I've never spent more than $30-$40)

In the end of that day, I saw the subtle difference between jeans. Didn't buy them then, sometime in the near future.

So the next day, i.e. today, I was having lunch w/ friends (diff from the jeans group) and told them about my jeans episode. When we were standing in line, I started NOTICING other people's jeans, I groaned!! and said to my friends... "wtf, I'm looking at other people's jeans... no more talking about jeans"

aargh... hopefully, this is a temporary condition...
