I own a pair of $200 jeans

And you know what? They make my ass look great.

Or maybe you just have a great ass? I could buy a pair of $200 jeans and still look like Elton John's frumpy cousin.

Owning an obscenely expensive garment can be a buzz all of its own though, whatever the objective appraisal of how you look in it. Ganesh buys me expensive shoes (in the sales) and my feet look great in them and they feel so-o-o expensive. I become Fred Astaire walking down the street in them and can face down the Maître d' in the poshest restaurants.

Who made 'em?

Strangely, I have a pair of £30 shoes that make my arse look $1,000,000. Don't know how it works, though.

I hope I have a great ass. That would be fantastic.

You're right about the expensive clothing bit. I bought a new pair of sneakers so it was a double-whammy of self-satisfaction today. To top it off, a girl told me I look good in these jeans. Not bad at all.

They're "7" jeans. "7 for all mankind" or some jazz like that.

Best watch out for the Sheeda, then.

Damn. I thought you'd got the ones handsewn by blind Belgian nuns.

My favourite jeans are a pair of John Rocha jeans but they are also the crappiest jeans I own in that they're out of fashion now with all their holes and stuff. But, being smarter than your average jean, they have a posh lining showing through the holes. With a regency stripe.

Don't do anything for my ass though.

Whenever I buy jeans, I try them on, I walk around in them, they are fine - then exactly one week after purchase, and one was later, they become five inches too long in the leg, and I end up having to fold them up of scriff scraffing along the ground.

My arse is alright though, you know.

$200 for Sevens? That don't sound right. I used to sell those suckers for pregnant ladies, and they were only $175, and that was with the special belly panel. You should get the pregnant lady Sevens and save a few bucks.

Mourne Kransky

But would he still have a great ass in pregnant lady jeans?

ibis the being

22:14 / 30.09.05

Yes, in fact, the ass was still pretty good on the pregnant lady jeans, not that I was looking at pregnant ladies' asses.

For two hundred dollars, I'd want free liposuction so my ass would fit the jeans.

I have some pajamas that make my ass look really nice. They didn't cost $200, though. I don't actually know how much they cost, because my mom bought them for me, but I know they were cheap. I also know that if I bought a pair of jeans for $200, I'd spill something awful on the crotch the first time I'd wear them, so there would be a big stain there, and I'd never wear them again. Thus, I buy cheap clothes. Maybe my ass would look as good in my jeans as it does in my pajamas if I thought it were worth it to spend $200 on jeans.

I don't think I could possibly get myself to spend $200 on a pair of jeans. It just seems wrong to me, nice ass or not.
Of course, my usual strategy is to get other people to buy me clothes. My family's tolerance level is much lower than mine in these matter, so they are annoyed by my clothing standards long before I am.
For example, I have never bought a pair of shoes in my life, for this exact reason.

I've never spent more than about twenty quid on trousers (apart from the leather ones I had years ago)- Christ knows what my ass looks like- it hurts my neck to look.

A couple of years ago, I was looking at the clothes in the window of the versace shop. There was a really ugly shirt. It was an intensive blue with kitsch ornaments. I noticed the price, and thought "180 DM? Now that´s a lot of moneay for such an ugly shirt."

Then I noticed that I had misread the price. It was 1.800 DM. About 600 pounds.

I want jeans that make my ass look good, but don't cost that much. This is becoming particularly more important because I recently started water aerobics and... lo and behold, it works. I walked past a full mirror naked the other day and gasped. My ass had lost it's ass dimples. It didn't jiggle. It was the coolest thing ever.

Unfortunately, I cannot go showing this off to everyone naked. But I'm very proud of my de-jigglified and de-dimplified ass.

My boyfriend didn't notice (the ass).

I want jeans that make my ass look good, but don't cost that much.

I got a great pair of jeans from Target for $27.99 that make my ass look fantastic. I know, I know, Target... but their shit is cheap and good-looking... I'm like a moth to a flame.

I don't really want to talk about how much I spend on my beloved Diesels. I will say that I spent $19.99 for a grey sweater at Target. It is very comfy.

I have shit jeans. But fortunately, my ass makes them look great!

Apparently, H&M's kitch polyester shorts make my ass look great. According to my lady-friend, that is.
In case anyone's interested, I'm wearing the ones with a Silver Surfer cartoon on them. So I'm never stuck for something to read on the loo...

I had a job at Target when I was 15. I think spending long days inhaling polyester fumes did some permanent damage to my growing brain.

I can think of other things in Chatswood than target that'd be more directly attributable, Loomis...

But I second Target as Bargain Shoppers' Geniusplace. They have these awesome Dunlop Volleys on sale. They don't look a bit like prisoners' shoes...

My genes are awesome, and they make my ass look great.
