The Travesty in This Picture?
On the right's an appealing 16 year old.
With 4 ~ count 'em! ~ FOUR pairs of $500 (yes, fivehunnertdollah) jeans in her arms.
Even if she buys a pair, there is something just so wrong with that.
Or am I jealous? Is it just me?

It's not just you. I find it hard to understand how a pair of denim pants costs so much. Heck, I squawk when they cost more than $30! Unless the buttons and rivets are made of gold.
Sheesh. She's carrying the price of a semester of college books there. Talk about throwing Susan B. Anthonys' down the drain by the handful.

If any kid of mine asks for something like this, I will consider myself a failure.

Wow. Two jeans would pay my rent... well, almost. Even if I had the money, I would just go buy guy Levis. And then a better house. I don't care if my butt is as flat as a highway in Kansas.

Bill Cosby rocks. His line on The Cosby Show when Theo wanted to buy a $95 shirt: "I don't have a $95 shirt, and I have a job!"

And I've never paid $500 for a freakin' suit!

Gave you guys a shout-out at the Hive on this. Turns out my reply just got too long for the comments. (Sorry for the thread-jack.)

Hell, Nightfly, mine was even longer than that.

You're proud yours is longer than a fly's Ken?

Sounds like he needs a pair of $500 'mine's-bigger-than-yours' jeans to me!

Looks like I should be making jeans.
Seriously I worked for Levis, I would take standard jeans, put a different pattern on the back pocket and come up with a clever name and mark them up 1000%.
A fool and his money are soon parted. For sure.

As I said elsewhere, for $500 they not only better get the butt right but attract some righteous tail.

"NoBrainer Jeans" for $350.00
Dude, you'd sell millions.

Sniff. Um ehrlich zu sein, ich hatte von dir auch gar nichts anderes erwartet.
Sniff.

German humor is so . . . .
Well, "funny" isn't quite the right word. :)
I think it's awesome that someone has found a way to make that much money off of some denim. I wish you told me the brand name. I might want to copy their business model!

Which reminds me, my kids rather like the German word for the exit to a parking garage. But they were young.

A big hit in 8th grade german class was conjugating the verb "fahren" (to drive)
ich fahre
du fahrst
er fahrt...
