My granny is a fob!

So I was about to take a shower today, and my 85-year-old granny asked me to help her to look for her reading glasses, needle and thread. I got them ready for her and head straight to the shower… until I realized I forgot my towels and head back out, only to see that my granny is about to sew up the “rips” from my $120 ripped jeans from Club Monaco!

I screamed and told her to STOP!

“They are ripped … I thought I’d sew it up for you. By the way, why would you buy a pair of ripped jeans? Check carefully when you buy jeans next time to make sure there are no rips.”

I think I also saw patches and I know she would’ve put them on my ripped jean, too. Thank God I stopped her in time — otherwise I’d have ended up with a completely sewn jeans with different color of patches around the knee area too.

    I think your granny is on to something. Why WOULD you pay someone good money for ripped jeans?

  • Katdewalt

    And pay $120 for them, no less…

    awww – she's cute! my mom is the same way (though your grandma took it to another level trying to mend & repair…which is actually another denim trend…so she wasn't totally off), she always points out when my jeans are distressed & asks why i didn't check the jeans for rips before i bought them! if you think about it, it IS a weird phenomenon…we do pay extra money for things that are meant to look 2nd-hand or like we've had them for years already!

    my mom would sew up all the rips on my jeans, this was before it was “cool” to wear ripped jeans. except she would do such a good job patching it that the jeans would tear around the area that she patched.

    Seriously, I guess I'm a future Fob Mom 'cuz that's the first thing I thought. “$120 for ripped jeans? WTF is wrong with her?”

    I hope this ripped jeans trend never ends. I buy a pair of normal jeans for $15 and I can let them get all worn and ratty. When I do people think I'm stylish and don't realize I'm cheap.

    Team Grandma. Why you would pay $120 for jeans is beyond me. Why you would pay $120 for pre-ripped ones is completely over my head.

    Smart grandma. Pre-ripped jeans look so stupid.

  • smartalek

    I'm guessing the question's rhetorical?
    But just in case it isn't, or anyone else actually cares, suggested reading:

    Veblen, Thorstein: “Theory of the Leisure Class”
    “Conspicuous Consumption”
    Brooks, David: “Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There”

    The 1st 2 are classix and def worth @ lst a skim.
    The last one has had some of its dumber oversimplifications and projections thoroughly refuted, and the author's politix might be offensive to some (and comforting to others; we report, you decide), but there are some clever observations and conclusions in there too.

    Cheers

    LOL this made my day…thank you :-)

  • ANON

    Hahaha, you one of those stupid trendy fucks that would pay that kind of money for a pair of destroyed jeans instead of earning those rips. Your mom should have aborted you and save your Granny the hassle.

  • Hi

    jeans for $15? oh pleaseeee; i got abercrombie jeans for $12.90!!!!!!!

  • Penguinpie

    actually patched up jeans might look just as cool

  • Zowie

    Well, it's called fashion. Some have it, some don't. Sometimes we find quality and beauty in things you don't. You don't have to get it. I don't get how people go out looking like they were just working out.

    could be the internet but the tone u give off seems horrid… screaming at grandma? rude.

    stop it fashion-victim of the worse kind
    some one who doesn't appreciate ripped jeans is not always someone who has no fashion sense.
    seems to me like you're just a trend follower with no own style.

     When you hear the purase prom dress they often think of some tattered, cheap prom dresses fabric held together with safety pins promoted as a prom dress gown. But some of the best prom dresses available are those only a few years old, such as the 2011 prom dresses or 2012 prom dress styles.
