It gets better, I just read on BB that last week, Ivanka wore a mismatched set of earrings while in Europe. The fashion world went flippin' mad over it and it's now a trend.
And here I thought the Lemming population had been shrinking.

This has been a brilliant advertising campaign by Nordstrom. It has reached the national radio and television markets accross the country in 48 hours. The result is millions of dollars of publicity and a reminder that Nordstrom is still out there. Just in time for tax refund season. If they sell a few pairs of silly dirty overpriced jeans its just icing on the cake. Marketing at its best.

Wonder what my greasy jeans that I wear when I'm working on the car would be worth. Some of them have more grease than dye showing.
I also manage to get holes in my jeans periodically-something about working as a chemist tends to do that(con. nitric or sulfuric will leave a nice hole the next time you wash them). Maybe I should put some of those on the market.

They are going to need some old cowboy boots to go along with those jeans. Now I just happen to have a pair of old cowboy boots that already have dried mud and horse manure. I'll sell them cheap. Only twice what a new pair will cost. I put in a lot of work getting those boots looking like they do.

Years ago I worked for a marina. I tried to convince the boss to throw jeans in the prop test tank, and sell them as prop washed jeans. He said people would not buy them.

Dang! Now I'm trendy.
I have 2 holes in my left ear. One has a stainless captive bead and the other has a small gold hoop.
Sometimes I hang a small silver tomahawk from my ear.
Either way they never match.

For "Real Men"
Nordstrums has jeans for the "Real Man". Artificially stained mud, strategically torn to show you aren't afraid
of getting "down and dirty". Only $425. Wish I had some of my old Levis from the Oil Fields. I could buy a new Colt 1911 or two.
What is hilarious is there are people out there that will buy them. Anyone got chlorine for the gene pool?

Next time I am up in the oil patch, first dude I see, I'll be like: "Hey, you get those jeans at Nordstrom's?"

Hopefully the holes are NOT in the seat either, unless they are prison-ready jeans!

When we, not if we, wore holes in the knees, my mother would patch them with iron on patches from the inside so as to be discreet that we were wearing worn out clothes -
When last I went shopping with my teen aged daughter I bought her a pair of jeans from a boutique that looked liked she had lost a fight with a barbed wire fence - cost over fifty bucks as I recall.
Good grief - I do fight to remain relevant.

You're relevant with me. My daughter had to have Chic jeans for a hefty price, because the other fashionable girls at HS had them.
I don't own any jeans and don't know prices for "normal" ones, but those she chose cost about 2-3 times average, I recall.
I don't care if Kendall Jenner or Candice Swanepoel wore a pair of jeans, I'm not paying $400 for a pair, unless the model comes with them. That seems improbable.
These girls probably earn more in an hour than I ever have for all year, and get most clothes they model for free or at a greatly reduced price. So, probably even they don't pay $400 for jeans.

Believe this or not: I have bought, as gag gifts, digital Pet Rocks--regular Pet Rocks with short USB cables coming out of them. And I once bought each of my siblings a six-inch green plastic pickle. When you pressed a button on the side, the damn things would yodel.
But I did it as humor.
As for the $425 jeans,I'd like to sell an accessory kit for fishermen, consisting of iron-on fake nightcrawler guts and fish slime.
