Random state of the clothing

Was finally forced into buying new jeans today when my old ones started to lose an inseam while at work. (Oops.) Discovered I have nearly as much stabby hate for current jean trends as I do for shoes. Everything in the "Misses" department is low-rise, boot-flare, snug-stretch blah-dee-blah that make me look like a Disco Turnip, with my choice of

I buy the Mossimo jeans (and pants) at Target @ ~$20/pair in the Juniors department.

Their basic bootcut/low rise really fit me just right, but I'm pretty high-waisted so normal pants look hideous on me. The "low rise' there isn't really that ultra-low rise though, it just sits a couple inches below the waist. I find that their sizes are pretty consistent across styles, too, and unless you are washing them multiple times per week they hold up really well.

Actually, I get like 90% of my clothes at Target. So if you don't already buy clothes there you may want to give it a look. They also have some really cute light jackets and shirts right now. Even their women's dept stuff is not all fugly - the department stores are the ones that really won't get over that hot pink/neon green shit that's been popular the last couple of years. I used to work in a "fashion" clothes store, and good lord was some of that stuff hideous.

I'll definitely have to check that out! I have a long torso, so "low rise" ends up riding even lower on me, usually, and I feel like I'm emulating that famous Jim Morrison photo. :/

I would still try on a pair or two - the price is right, and like I said, the quality is usually pretty good. In the women's dept their "Cherokee" brand is nice - I have a couple of shirts made by them. I know in the women's dept they carry regular styles of jeans, too.

Before Animefest I needed new pants, and I was able to get two pairs of slacks and a pair of jeans, including trying them on, in about 15 minutes.

The new Captain Harlock series they made a few years ago is really good. I wish that group would get to subbing more of the original eps, you can't buy them anywhere and the ones aired in the US were mixed with another show because they needed more eps, and made no sense.

I saw they have a new one called Galaxy Railway that was supposed to come out in July, based on Galaxy Express 999 (which I haven't seen yet.)

[allykatt]

yes, i have that new harlock series on dvd {if you're referring to cosmowarrior zero}. GOOD STUFF! i need to get some of the ge999 stuff. i used to have some of those and some queen millennia, but lost it all in a bad breakup.

you people are making me want to collect again! aaaaa!!

[kitsune_13]
