I was going through my closet looking for some threads to paint in and ran across an old pair of jeans, well worn but still rough to the touch. It made me wonder what ever happened to the acid washed or stone washed jeans of the 80's. Now there was a product worth advertising. Somewhere during the 90's someone decided it didn't matter if the acid or stone washed jeans were already broken in, soft and cozy because they were too... too... What? To white!? Too easily destroyed in the washer? Too what? You can't find acid washed jeans anymore. Even in K-mart.

The new thing seems to be to have blue jeans with only the front of the thighs worn to near white. First time I saw these was in Old Navy a couple of years ago and they seem to be gaining popularity still. My sister doesn't understand them either. She spent "hours in the mall" looking for jeans without the worn thighs that fit. What would cause the thighs to wear on a pair of jeans?

I can think of only a few.
-An oversized laptop used while traveling on a train
-excessive Top 40 butt grinding dancing
-Extreme anxiety causing the wearer to repeatedly rub his hands on his pants to dry his sweaty hands
-The person is a psychopath and is constantly sharpening their hunting knife on their pants

None of these seem like the kind of personality one would want to portray.

They call it "fashion sense" but I don't know why.
