LIVENUDEGIRLS

................................

I stopped wearing those gap straight selvedge after about 4mos. and 1 wash. I really didn't like the way that they were fading, and I had much better jeans to focus on. They are great though if you can find them cheap.

any pics?

.

found morrisons at the gap for $20, had a $20 gift card so i figured why not. i bought 30x32. I think the fit right now is perfect but i tried rubbing a paper towel on it and the indigo came off pretty easily, and i definitely don't want this stuff to rub off on my shoes/furniture/whatever. i'm thinking of doing a pretty quick cold soak, but how do you think it'll shrink?

They will definitely shrink quite a bit. If they shrink to too small a size, I would just wear them dry.

I considerd getting this. How are you liking it? It's weird the staples and Wal Mart by my house rarely sell out of the black Friday and secret sale stuff. I just dropped off a package at Staples a little while ago and they had a crap load of these laptops and the two tvs around it. I considered buying a few tvs to flip but not sure how easy it would be to flip generic tvs.

Currently using this... (Also picked up some xmas gifts for the fam)

Really nice and soft leather, and nice details: double stringed laces, leather loop in back for tying the laces around the boot (optional), raised toe and thick threading around the captoe.

These have a small scuff on the heel that can be seen in picture intended to show raised toe. There are some that are barely noticeable in person, but pretty noticeable in the picture by the lace area.

change of heart

what's the site for baxters? Also nudies and some other items like shit brand true religion exclude from store discouts at some stores. So that might be why just read the fine print. That's okay cuz Japanese denim is where its at anyways.

Well for the discount is beautybridge, although they might not have everything you need.

Just ordered some Baxters of California stuff with 10% off and free shipping using code fall10 at Beauty Bridge. You can use paypal too, which is pretty cool in my opinion.

^^yeah, you should put more pics up of the nice collective

when i have spent time with chinese families in china special occasions are usually spent in restaurants in private rooms rather then in the home. The fathers close business partners are refered to as aunt and uncle and are invited to special events. toasts are frequent during the meal and are done with an alcoholic drink similar to vodka and are usually directed at specific people at the table everytime. after dinner the men may gamble at a tea house... im not chinese and was kinda unsure of that was going on around me the whole time but i hope this helps even a little.

BBQ (I'm assuming you mean grilling and not "competition bbq" which is closer to smoking/roasting) does not really exist in China. Cooking large pieces of meat directly over coals/open flame is just not a part of any major chinese schools of cooking. However grilling is very common in certain nomadic, minority Chinese tribes that live in the northern areas near Mongolia/Nepal/Tibet. These people came to Chinese cities and set up roadside grills and sold skewers of goat meat and various organ meats(shishkabob style) that became very popular. Everything is flavored with chili, cumin, and coriander powers rather than any tomatoe/vinegar based sauces like in America. Also chicken and beef is almost never grilled.

Cooking outside is traditionally not done. BBQ is getting more popular due to western influence, but the idea of everybody gathering outside while a meal is prepared on an outside grill is almostly an entirely foreign concept in Chinese cooking. Even though common skewers I mentioned above is considered street vendor food at best and nobody does it at home.

Most Chinese families just watch TV before and after dinner.

Chinese men love to drink beer and watch sports, especially soccer. However most people don't have big living rooms or big TVs so the gathering is typically done in bars. During World Cup bars will actually run nearly 24 hours because everybody gathers to watch the games broadcast live from Europe.

I can't think of anything that makes Chinese and American dinners distinctly different from each other from a social standpoint. The only point of note is that many Chinese kids do not move out of the house even after college/jobs so it is common for the son or daughters to eat dinner with thier parents and grandparents every night even when they are 20-30 years old.

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, this is for school. The due date creeping up on me and I'm realizing that there is still some info I haven't gotten and figured I could probably get some useful info here, given the global nature of this forum. Luckily, the assignment requires that all information aqcuired be gotten from interviews, whether personally or virtually.

Also anyone know if Chinese have a specific name for family gatherings?

What would be the consequences for violating any of the norms surrounding family gatherings?

Are all cuisines prepared in a manner where the use of chopsticks is feasible?

Are chopsticks always used? Or are western eating utensils used as well?

I had some probably pretty annoying questions and it didn't seem to bug him much, not that I'm trying to encourage anyone to bust his balls or anything. Shipping was quick and communication was great too.

haha, I had a feeling I'd get shit on.

Genuine answers still greatly appreciated.
