Can you even buy jeans that don't have fraying or fading anymore?

But I think you're probably out of luck on the belt thing.

Yeah, that's ridiculously worded. They want you not to look like an ass, they should say that. I bet your belts are fine.

does no one have font or color ideas?

I also never understood the "no fading"- does that mean they all have to be an indigo wash, or are solid color lighter blue jeans OK?

I remember getting dinged at work (but only in a review, not ever talked to about it) for wearing chambray pants when denim was not allowed. It was the 90's and they were palazzo pants. They also dinged me for wearing a Shurfine coat when I was cold (the customer service desk was near the entrance and exit). The funniest thing was that the person who had to give my review told me that she was told my the store manager to put those things in because they did not want to give me a big raise, because I had worked there so long and was making "too much" so they had to come up with something! They should have gone with the fact that I read magazines under the counter and then put them back!

They couldn't get you for that - I have to believe that everyone who works at a bookstore does that. . .not that I would know or anything.

Sam Troughton who is playing Romeo in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Romeo and Juliet (but maybe better known to some of us as "Much" from the most recent BBC Robin Hood) - has been injured during a matinee performance.

ION, something to amuse folks:

I went and got new fang caps yesterday. I am sitting here in bloomers, an Emilie Autumn shirt that says "Are You Suffering?" (it's a catchphrase of hers), no makeup, glasses, hair pulled back, and my fangs. Drinking coffee, because I need to darken them slightly, and Victor the Fangmaker reminded me that the best way to do that is to drink a couple of cups of coffee while wearing them. I am ridiculous, and this is probably why my friend Libby refers to me as "the ultimate in Stereotype Technology".

Heh. I had to give a minion a Talking-To about her denim trousers semi-recently. But not in a review!!

Damn, shopping for a new car with good fuel economy sucks. I just called a Honda dealership and asked about the Insight (a hybrid that's like a Prius, but cheaper). They didn't have any in stock and said they wouldn't get more for two or three months.

And most Ford dealerships near me are completely out of the Fiesta and the 2012 Focus.

Jilli,

what are fang caps?
