A painting of me

New Jeans

   27 May 2010, late at night

APC Jeans are vanity sized, so a size 28” is probably a size 30”. When I got into my accident I was wearing a pair of black size 26” APC New Standards. I had just recently washed them, after breaking them in for half a year. The paramedics cut those jeans up the moment they arrived on the scene; the nurses at Toronto Western finished the job. I asked a friend to grab me a replacement pair while they were in New York recently. APC has actual retail space in the city. You can get all sorts of jeans you can’t find here. I asked them to get me the smallest pair they make: size 24” Petite New Standards. They gave them to me today. I may have overestimated how skinny I am. These things are tight. I’m hoping they stretch out over the next few weeks. My last pair certainly did. I’m surprised there is a market for these jeans. I guess it’s just me and those heroin chic supermodels that make teenage girls want to stop eating.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
