While we are on the subject of fashion, I have to tell you, when I read about this, I thought for sure that it was one of those bogus news stories. Except I googled it. It's not. So...for the record, would you be caught dead in these jeans? If you don't want to read the link, I'll give you the short version: $800 a pair, and they have sold out.
A reporter wore them on the street and got some very interesting comments. One person said something to the effect of "$800? For that price, I'll just pee my own pants!"
This is the weirdest thing I have ever heard of.
Anyways, not much to report. Another day working on the house. No fresh blood. Good news.
A thing about smart watches. At least my smart watch. I spent the day walking, carrying things up and down ladders, If my right arm (my watch arm) is not hanging down and swinging, no steps are counted. This is frustrating because if I am pushing a shopping cart it doesn't count. I spent a whole afternoon walking in an antique mall, and it didn't count, because I was carrying my folded sweater over my bent arm. Things like that make me think that my smart watch is not nearly as smart as it thinks it is.
I need a haircut so stinking bad.
That is all.
I have a step counter that says "Attach to the center front of your trousers." That's the only place it works.
ReplyDeleteI've never had good luck with those sorts of pedometers. That's why I was so excited by my smart watch.
DeleteI was going to suggest something that counted steps not arm movement..
DeleteI cannot figure out what it is. It seems like a step counter should be pretty easy, shouldn't it? I've had a couple over the years, and honestly, they were not at all accurate. I could walk around the block and it would register 15 steps. I don't know if I walk funny or what. (Cue Monty Python).
DeleteJeans like that costing $800. I feel very old.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you would not think to buy them means that you are very smart.
DeleteAnd why do it if your allegedly smart watch is not even going to count it??????
ReplyDeleteThat's no way to get a house built, Bob!
DeleteJeeez..! I buy my jeans at old navy, and only when they’re on sale!😂
ReplyDeleteAnd my Apple Watch counts my knitting as steps..! 😂~Rigmor
I get some real miles in when I'm sweeping or mopping.
DeleteSame frustration with my dumb Fitbit!
ReplyDeleteAggravating, isn't it?
DeleteI have a cheap phone I bought online. It counts my steps everywhere I go. It even counts steps when I place groceries on the check out belt. It is a Tracfone and I have a house phone that I use most since I am home most of the time.
ReplyDeleteWe got so many scam calls on the land line, we just gave up on it. At least with a cell phone, we can immediately block the number.
DeleteJeans made to look like they have pee stains on them. Why not just get really drunk and piss your own pants? Whatever. It's like those jeans the young girls like with all the holes in them. 1-I would find them cold to wear and 2-I can make holes in my own jeans, for free.
ReplyDeleteHere's my thoughts on the holey jeans. If I have a worn pair of jeans with a hole in the knee, I invariably catch my toes in that hole, trying to get dressed. I see girls with jeans that are basically strings down the front. How on earth do you put them on without getting your feet all tangled up in them. I'm just not a patient woman.
DeleteI don't wear jeans but if I did I would never pay that much ... even for a smart pair!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine spending that much money on one article of clothing. Ever. I also can't imagine that you don't wear jeans. Really???? You've got more class in your little finger than I have in my whole person, I guess. I put on panty hose for the first time in years to go to a funeral this week.
DeleteThose jeans are positively nasty!
ReplyDeleteMy immediate thoughts on it!
DeleteMy phone in my pocket counts my steps, but I suspect it sometimes has a mind of it's own. I do the same dog walk in the mornings and it often varies by 200 or so steps. Just looked at it and it says 113 steps so far....I have only walked down the stairs, to the back door and back to the front, and I don't live in a palace!!
ReplyDeleteI can wrack up a thousand steps sweeping and mopping my kitchen floor!
DeleteThose jeans are disgusting.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Who on earth comes up with this stuff??
DeleteEven if I had money to burn, I'd never pay that much for an article of clothing. My smart watch is truly smart. If I am on a piece of equipment at the gym, it recognizes it! And I think, how does it know? My friend and I use our walking apps when we walk, and the difference between the two can be huge. My son says it has to do with the strength of the GPS signal. I think stairs and carrying heavy stuff while walking should count double! :)
ReplyDeleteClamboring up and down ladders should get me bonus points as well.
DeleteOh, I totally agree! Also, any work or movement outside when it's cold OR hot, bonus points.
DeleteAs the person said in the article, for $800, I would pee them myself. I'm old fashioned. I don't even wear jeans with holes in them.
ReplyDeleteLOL. That made me laugh when I read it. Leave it to a New Yorker! The chess player wondered how long it would take before they were hawking jeans with brown stains on the back. That made me laugh too.
DeleteJeans like that? No...not even in a charity shop
ReplyDeleteLOL. Especially NOT in a charity shop. I would be afraid the stains would be real!
DeleteI gave up on my smart watch years ago. I called it my dumb watch. Gigi
ReplyDeleteI'm about to that point.
DeleteNo thanks to those jeans. That is just silly.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you have to know how many steps you are taking? As long as you are so active, that's what counts, Debby. Keep up the great work, no matter what the silly watch says.
They are silly. I'm trying to imagine spending $800 on a pair of jeans even without the faux pee stain. I can't. I'll be perfectly honest when I say that I truly doubt that I spend $800 a YEAR on clothing. I guess I'm just not all that interested in clothes.
DeleteThere's a TikTok of a woman who does "Stupid Rich People Fashion." I imagine she's covered these jeans. They're right up her alley.
ReplyDeleteI do not do TikTok, but Stupid Rich People Fashion sounds like it would be fun.
DeleteJust went there. Oh I needed that laugh.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the craziest thing ever? Why would anyone want the world to look at him or her and try to figure out whether they are rich or incontinent?
DeleteI sometimes do in-place walking when the hockey game is on, and I am sure that the arms are the more measurable part.
ReplyDeleteThey do seem to be, as far as the smart watch is concerned. But when I tried the traditional step counter, I did not find that accurate at all. Perhaps, an earlier commenter is right...it's just not as important as I feel that it is.
DeleteClearly having enough money to afford $800 for those jeans does not equate to having good judgement. That is just nuts, but then a great deal of "high fashion" clothing is nuts, so those jeans will fit right in.
ReplyDeleteWhen someone talked about this, I thought for sure that it was not true. Off I went to investigate. I couldn't believe it was true.
ReplyDeleteI actually had to just look up those pee jeans as well. Good gosh! That is absolute craziness!
ReplyDeleteMaybe that stuff flies better in the big city. I don't know anyone who would wear pants like that in a small town where everyone knoknows
