so... long story short my favourite jeans got torn up the left pant leg from some 17 year old jerkoff stepping on me.... anyway... i'm tempted to fix them but i'm physically handicapped when it comes to sewing so... i went off on a little adventure to find a new pair of jeans today knowing that its always difficult to find a nice pair that fit properly and not settle for a pair that look just ok. how can it be that difficult you ask?
well i'll tell you. in case you haven't noticed pretty much every woman has a different shape to them... therefore how do they expect that standardizing waist sizes and leg length sizes are going to suit people. clearly we didn't pop out of a cookie cutter. for example... some women have large waists, large hips but skinny and short legs.... so to fit your ass you have to settle for big baggy super long legs....another example... i have a small waist, big hips, medium sized legs in width and length so i get stuck with waists that are too big and legs that are either too long or too skinny.
also buying jeans might be the most emotionally traumatizing shopping experience for a woman (other than buying a bathing suit) and it's best for everyone's mental health if these experiences that end in self loathing be avoided as much as possible. anyway... i set off today preparing myself for the depression that i would sink into over the course of the day...
i went into one of the stores on broadway thinking they might possibly have something that would make me happy and much to my dismay..... 98% of the jeans that they had were FUCKING SKINNY JEANS.
what's the big fuckin deal jess? why do you have such a hate on for skinny jeans?
WELL...
a) only about 2% of the population can wear skinny jeans appropriately.
b) they're really unflattering on the rest of the people who wear them
c) i tried a pair on today... and could barely get my feet through the foot hole meanwhile the waist was too big and crotchal area resembled boys pants (adequate penis room despite me being sans wang)
d) my legs got claustrophobic
e) NOT EVERYONE WEARS OR WANTS TO WEAR SKINNY JEANS
ughhhhhh......
i ended up getting the only pair in the store that weren't skinny. still straight leg though... not ideal but at least they've got a sick wash to them. picked up a sweet pair of shorts ( a little early... perhaps) and a little black volcom dress. score. summer needs to hurry the shit up.
this song kept me in good spirits today despite my little trip on the skinny jeans bitter bus.
edited to add: i renewed my bc nursing license. guess i'm sticking around vancouver for another year...
