Buy a Pair of Broken-in Jeans for $1,200, Sexual History Included
Now I’m all for DIY and recycling but this may be taking it all a little to far. Derek Burgess, a designer out of Philly, is working on a reconstituted concept that has many people raising a few eyebrows. And cans of Lysol. At $1,200 per pair, his “Wastelanders”, loosely based on his interest apocalyptic fiction, encompasses both the process of creating the garment and its affinity to modern, performance art. Simply put, Burgess records anything of interest that happens while wearing the jeans, from fist fights to sexual encounters, and makes it part of that garment’s history. Go HERE for more details.
Courtney Love Fined $430,000 For Calling Fashion Designer "Asswipe" On Twitter
As part of a legal settlement, Courtney Love agreed to begin paying $430,000 this week to fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir who claimed that Ms. Love had posted multiple defamatory 140-character remarks about her on Twitter in March 2009, ruining her reputation and her business.
This case has been closely watched not only because Ms. Love’s celebrity status but also because it would have been one of the first high-profile cases addressing the question of what amounts to defamation on social sites. And what part do they play opposed to traditional media outlets.

On the jeans - I have a pair of 501s I bought in my senior year of high school in 1978. I have worn them and worn them and worn them. They were not distressed intentionally. They honestly earned every rip and fray on them. I get offered big bucks when I wear them out now. They are so delicate that at this point I baby them by washing them in a lingerie bag so they don't get shredded in the washer. I don't trust them to the dry cleaner.
Oh, the stories they could tell...
Gutterflower-Share that story and you might get $1200.00 bucks for them. lol
