My friend was visiting and she wanted to buy some new jeans. I recently found a couple of stores with a good selection of trendy labels and I insisted she try some on. The first store featured Rock and Republic, Yanuk, James and Damage. She tried them all but as she says, she has "junk in the trunk" and all of them "make my *** look flat."
No problem, I think, the next store has even more stuff and a reputation for finding the perfect fit for everyone. The woman who helped us, who I have bought jeans from before, understood the mission and in short order had six pairs to try, including Loomstate, Notify, Chip and Pepper, two labels I had never seen before and don't know the name of and the guaranteed pleaser, Citizens of Humanity. I thought the Loomstate were very cool but my friend gave the thumbs down, she said the waistband was too loose. The CoH did fit her but she didn't want them because "everyone has these."
Well, not to worry. She usually buys Diesel so off to the Diesel store we go. There she tried on Cherone, Nadar, Crossim and Rame. I thought the Cherone was a winner but by this time she was mad and didn't like anything. She was so mad she insisted on going to the Gap, saying that cheaper jeans fit her better anyway. (Insert socio-political commentary here.)
Gap washes did nothing for her and she didn't bother trying anything on. We went to Miss Sixty. She tried on three or four styles, no joy. By this time I was reduced to sitting on a chair and that is saying something.
Happy Ending: We went back to Diesel and she got the Cherone, which she finally admitted flattered, instead of flattening, her booty.
The Irony: When she visited a year ago we went to Diesel and she loved the first pair she tried on (Zink.) She wears them all the time and this is the pair of jeans we were trying to replace because they are nearly shot.
