my first Diesel purchase

so yesterday I went on somewhat of a shopping spree to old navy, banana , gap, h & m, urban outfitters, and then if that wasn't enough, I topped it off with a trip to the Diesel store. I think it's ridiculous to spend that much money on a pair of Jeans and shoes, but I was already in that spending mood, and was like "what the hell.. today I'm being gay-fab" and I dropped $270 in that store for a pair of jeans and a pair of shoes. I have never spent that much in one place ever. I was literally shaking as I handed over my good ol' visa bank card. I am so glad I made the purchase even though I am back in the poorhouse now, but at least I can tell people I own a pair of Diesel Jeans.

the end.

Just be careful. A denim addiction is a dangeous thing. Believe me, I know. I must own 20 pairs of jeans. Paper Denim, Diesel, Earl, 7s, Blue Cult, Chip and Pepper, etc. etc.

I am obsessed with designer jeans.

Ever since my first Diesel buy freshman year of high school, I've been addicted. Now it's all I wear, I love them.

I wear $14.99 jeans from Old Navy and give my money to Amfar, Feed the Children and Mother Theresa's charity.

Denim all looks the same lying in a ball on the floor next to the bed.

It's not what you wear, it's how you wear it. And SOMMS wears his clothes spectacularly.

And Tiff is some kinda spectacular beautiful!

hmmm, depends on your priorities I guess.

$270 is during most of the year, half of a flight to Hawaii, 1/3 of a flight to Europe, or a pretty damn nice vacation in Mexico

Yes, but the perfect jeans can make your ass look flawless for years.

Playtex makes jeans?

I'm blushing, SOMMS, even though you're full of it.

I agree, Elphaba. Some people would rather pay that sum of money on something substantive that they can show for it (designer jeans, designer bag, etc.), while others, like myself, would rather spending it on good food or (go towards) a trip.

I agree- Tiff is sexy.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 11/1/05 at 2:31pm

Yep, a hottie!

If I deflect anymore, I'll look like I'm fishing for compliments, so let's agree to disagree and keep at the subject at hand, gentlemen.

(PS. Much to my surprise, Munk is one hot mutha and not the scary ogre I thought he would be. )



Topic - What is it about Diesel jeans that make it worth the gobs of money dropped for them? Everyone who owns a pair seems to rave about them - are these things miracle workers for thunder thighs and fat asses, or is it that people have to convince themselves it was worth the money, even if they're going hungry for a few days??

I fall into the category of spending the money on a great meal or a trip...

I enjoy nice clothes, but I don't like to over-spend.

Back on topic ... Tiff's ass looks HOT in denim!

Sorry.

(Tiffy, I'm sure it does. I'm sorry I didn't notice )

I've been told that they last forever, and that's apparently not an exaggeration. I was told by the clerk who sold them that I don't really have to wash them if I don't want to, but if I do to wash them inside out in cold water, so the particular "wash" of the jeans last longer.

I didn't mean you Addy. I was writing while you posted. I'm with you on the food and trips! We need to travel together.

They do last forever. I wash them incessantly, trying to get them even more distressed, but they're too durable.

i think you like me even better out of the diesel jeans

[DottieD'Luscia]

Yes, you make a very good point!
