Who's finna wear drop crotch denim first?

That mark mcnairy aviator hoody?

Monk straps w bondage strap?

OFWGKTA tie bar?

nah I agree with his general point. fuck how smartphones have taken over errrbodys life, if we're out drinking let's shoot the shit, don't get on your fucking iphone so you can check in on foursquare at whatever bar we're at and post a photo about your drink on facebook.

Is this real life? I have a smart phone, I have friends with smart phones, I've literally never met/hung out with anyone like this.

I'm interested in making my own pair of jeans, can anyone share any tips/give a rough price estimate? I've never sewn or anything but I want to try my hand at it and perhaps I'll get the hang of it.

Ok I'll assume you have a machine, and can figure out a pattern or how to flat pattern or whatever and just talk price.

You can find denim anywhere from like $8 to $20 a yard, and then way more than that, depending. If you want selvege denim you're probably looking at $11 to $15 a yard, and up from that. You know, it all depends, you can pay up to any amount. You probably want 2-3 yards of denim. If you're good it will probably take less than 2, but just to be safe since it's your first time, so I'll estimate that to like $30.

I don't know about the hardware, but I can't imagine it's that expensive. So probably around $20 all together, but that really is a guess. But zippers and whatever else aren't that expensive.

Pocket cotton doesn't really cost that much since you'll only be buying a little bit, and string is only a few bucks.

So probably like $50, depending. Less if you buy cheap denim (but why go too cheap when you're trying to make yourself something?) or more if you buy expensive stuff.

fuck i discovered one of those black holes that can consume you if you aren't careful

but its also exciting

just a huge void

^we can tell

(ﾉ ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ ♥

idk what any of these faces mean

^lol i started typing some shit about "what that shit works for me..." but then i looked and said wtf am i typing...

though i def don't have any game its true

fashion school has been the best decision I've made. I now realize I need do my own thing and I'm more of the creative type. trading makes good money but I can't imagine doing it for the rest of my life. I'm just not that passionate about it. Fashion I could probably do everyday for 12 hours a day and still not get bored with it. That's how much I love fashion. Which probably qualifies me as freaking nuts. But oh well. Probably why I'm still on this board since 2005....

yeah dude i can happily stay up until 3 am figuring out how to make things with a sewing machine, but i really don't like so much of my school work... oh well trying to finish it all up, would take way more school to transfer at this point, just glad to be ending it, and art classes are fun too, no doubt. just finished this big museum project with my class and the local art museum, which is small, but still, finishing a big project is fun.

i'm so glad i dropped out and worked in fashion when i had the chance. now i just want to finish school and go back to it.

and yeah you def need the 12 hours a day type of dedication. i had more than a few of those days when i was working... and i know my boss clocked in at least that much every day if not more...

^same

really, really same

my ex changed so much towards the end that even if all the shit that went down between us hadn't, i really wouldn't want her back

or like, if i met a girl exactly like her or whatever, i wouldn't even give her a second glance, because how she is now just sucks

man i wish i was taking computer science classes next quarter...

i switched my major to art and i'm happy because it means i can just do whatever projects i want (even ones involving programming) but like i miss the constant crunch that is computer science. though art is that too...

that said realistically i think i want to work in fashion (again) after i graduate. i would drop out today but my fam would kill me so i want to finish...

djrajio hows fashion classes? thinking about doing a 1 year certificate program, maybe in san francisco, because while i've worked in garment production, there's definitely a lot i didn't learn that i could have from school i think...

idk i just want to start a clothing label. maybe i will this summer in some limited aspect...

that said i've been thinking also of just taking all the money i have saved up (very little) and moving to japan. just don't know that i could get a job and survive there... maybe its time to look into teaching english in japan...

anyway still got this year and then next year before i graduate so that time to make a plan

all i know is i want to leave the u.s. soon

do you guys get paid to dj?

bro i can already tell you're bogie and you only have 2 posts

^one time this old japanese lady asked me if i was happa (i'm like black white native american mix)

and then i told her no and she still kept trying to talk to me in japanese for some reason idk why

Not to mention this shit

http://blogs.aljazeera.com/africa/2012/03/14/ugandans-react-anger-kony-video

Which seems to suggest that at the least many Ugandans are upset about the comodization of their suffering by invisible children, which definitely is whack.

So sorry I spouted some ill informed bull. I've been thinking about it a lot recently. Even without the opinions of some Ugandans via al jazeera, I still see a lot of problems with the campaign. But I mean whatever you guys don't care about my life story so...

Word ok can I just say I feel you guys points and I think I mostly agree with you.

6) that's all general not just directed at you. Also no hate still really I'm not mad or anything.

Edit 7) I'm sure this shit would be way more annoying if I had Facebook. Now that I think about it.

GAAAAD DAMNIT DUDE. No one has ever stated that we shouldn't stop him. What the 'haters' say is donate to a charity that actually does something about the situation and stop acting like you're important because you share a god damn video on your facebook.

ALLA YALL MAWFACKAZ STUPID AS FUCK.

1) I didn't read most of the posts in this thread yet. Don't have a computer browsing sufu on my phone wassup

2) I don't have Facebook lolls

3) I'm so sorry a controversial video about Africans made the rounds on the Internet which brought a huge wave of people reading up on the problems behind it and thus reading up on actual problems in Africa and allowing more helpful charities to piggyback off it's popularity. Really, I'm sorry.

4) I forget

5) uhhhh oh right. What the hell do you want our military to do? Be in two wars at once for no particular reason that I think we can all agree are pretty much pointless to fight at this point? I think having a military is a necessity, as much as I am against warfare, but since we need one we might as well try to wield it against crazy dudes who I think we can all agree are evil. I don't remember if this addresses a point you made as it's too hard to scroll back up on my phone to read what you wrote again.

Yeah

with the escapezips, you're not really unzipping them, it's more like pulling the two sides apart. the top part of one side of the zipper doesn't have any teeth so when you pull it to the very top, the head is no longer holding the two sides together

Oh in that case I don't really understand how it holds together. I get the top is an anchor, but what keeps the rest together and waterproof or resistant or whatever?

How easy is it to unzip the back zip on the ej23 or whatever that ones called? In the video he made it look really easy but when is unzipping a a zipper ever that easy? I'm just imagining wearing a wetsuit and that is hardish to unzip and a pretty waterproof zipper, and for that you don't even go all the way down the thing and unzip it completely, just down your back such that you can get out.

Bros I think what she's trying to say is it sucks that we have a culture where some bro can fins a drunk ass girl in a stairwell and will sleep with her even if she's incoherent.

She probs is being way too serious about it and she dis put herself into that situation knowingly, or at least she should have known.

And that's probs what she's really complaining about, yeah.

But maybe, just maybe, she's complaining that we have a culture where that's ok. I would never sleep with a girl that drunk, I've turned down wasted girls before. They shouldn't drink so much that they are in danger. But I think just maybe she is saying society would be better if being that drunk didn't put her/women in danger.

I'm not saying I never did dumb shit I regretted later when drunk. Of course I have. But I wish I hadn't and I think there could be a way safer society for people rather than some bro being whoa this chick is so drunk time to sleep with her instead of saying oh shit this girl is drunk out of her mind she needs help.

That said I'm sure he was probs drunk too and it's just something she should move on from. Maybe she hasn't even thought about it that much and is being dramatic. But I mean either way if she's unhappy about something she might as well speak out it's not like she's really forcing us to listen to her.

Idk sorry no hate rambling.

I don't get why you guys don't want to stop Kony. I mean yeah it's trendy but like srsly it's a good cause. Is there any harm in stopping him? No. So stop acting like kids just coz you hate whatever is popular.

OR show me a good argument why we shouldn't stop him.

I'll admit that probably another one will rise in his place, and it's only because of systemic issues created by world powers, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't stop Kony. So give me a different argument.

On the subject of murakami: yeah all his books are the same. It's true. I still like them. Never gonna be favorites though. Still I enjoyed 1Q84. Uh yeah, I guess that's it.

Any of you ever read the master and margarita? That's probably my favorite book.

its not very good

really?? I liked it a lot. Norwegian wood still my fav of his books but I feel like 1Q84 was still pretty good, at the very least for being slightly different than his other books.

have any of you read 1Q84 yet? I just finished it

the dope game hard, the art game easy, this is round one gucci mane vs weezy
