i was intending on waking up at 8 this morning and going to hang in carytown all day from 10 on. but i ended up sleeping in till 12 and going around 2.
i went there primarily to take pics of some great street style around rva. and what better place than our very own carytown.
unfortunatly, there werent many, i mean there were, but either they were off in the distance and i was too tired to be willing to chase them down, but there were some that were cool and werent more than liek 10 feet away from me when i saw them.
i met up with emily and we looked around in need for a bit. she was talking to someone when i got there, but i saw adam and i was like, hey man, and we talked for a bit. i need to photograph him, he left before i could get him.
need didnt have the shoes emily wanted so we went to world of mirth for dunnys, but dunnys were sold out. gr.
i got a munny though. its a zipper pull, but its a banana. i put it on my fanny pack
emily then had to leave because shes dumb.
i went to american apparel and chelsea was working. i didnt really know it cos i wasnt set on looking for her right off the bat. but i was looking for v-neck shirts.
i found some, but i knew they had more. so i went looking around and then she was sitting right in front of em, talking to someone else. and i was like hey! and she said the same. and i said, are these your v neck shirts? and she said yeahhh, not the deep v though, and i said, yeah i dont think i can pull that off.
id definitly like to try but not for a while, i need a transition.
anyway.
so i pulled liek 11 v neck shirts to try on. while i was doing that chelsea and her friend said, your not one of the bad customers right? sarcastically of course, they know im nice. i said "oh of course not, i work retail i know how it is. i hate the customers who turn everythign inside out give the hangers back to you but leave the clothes balled up in the corner of the fitting room" seriously those people suck. if you are one of those people grow up. heres how you do it:
you come out of the fitting room, if you arent sure if you bring out the clothes when youre done, you ask. just pop your head out and ask "should i bring the clothes i dont want out to you?" odds are the person will say yes, but if you dont know you should ask. dont be a dick and leave everything fucked up.
anyway, out of those shirts (i had a black, brown, gray, grey stripe white stripe, marbly gray, purple, green, forest green, and some others) only brown black and purple seemed to be to my liking. purple i wasnt sure about so i got chelsea and the other girl to approve, and they did. im glad they did cos i put it on when i got home and i said, man this is awesome.
so i got the purple and the black, i wasnt in the mood for buying a lot today, just a couple of things. im gonna wait a while till i go on a so called spree, which isnt a spree at all because im not rich enough to go on one, but a spree for me is buying liek 6-12 things in varying amounts of prices. the more i get the lower the price, and vice versa. you get it. its the poor mans spree you see.
anyway, after i pulled those i put all my clothes back in the right place, hung up of course, i mean i am a good customer. i only picked smalls so it wasnt hard for me to put them back on the hanger.
i was about to pay then i saw the belts, and i was liek OH i need belts. but not a spree day, so im still saving that for another day, but man those belts are pretty sexy.
i mean it is american apparel after all.
oh and to top it all off chelsea was like, give him 15 % off. that was nice!
i took pics of beth and her friend cos they were dressin snazzy.
i went to need just to see everything, and i tried on some cheap mondays. i need some cheap mondays, let me tell you.
they are tight, physically and like in the essence of the slang term there are few things tighter.
i mean nudies are up there with em.
i tried em on and then i came out and had a discussion with the guy who was runnin the fitting room, he was cool.
then i talked to the guy on register who sold me my dry pair of nudies that ive been wearing daily.
man i love em. we had liek a 30 min discussion on nudies. he got this incredible pair from sweden for a really good price, they were liek 130 because the american dollar is a lot more than the swedish dollar, so including shipping he said it only cost 130. mine were fucking 150. no shipping, and his look cooler. man, i gotta get on this.
but i do love my nudies. im developing two holes in the left butt pocket, from my moleskine. its workin on 3 or 4 now i think. i cant really tell, but im sure there will be 4 holes or maybe 2 small ones and a relaly big one at the top from it whenever i wash em.
for you guys who dont know what nudie jeans are, click the link called nudie on this page.
basically they make jeans perfectly with unwashed denim an pure indigo dye. you wear them constantly and dont wash them for a minimum 6 months (im going for a year, because the longer the better). all that time the jeans just get broken in and the denim fades and tehres a build up of oils and grime. when you wash em you get your own fade marks,a nd if you wear em a lot you get your own holes, so theres no pre fade or pre worn areas that dont match your body. its beautiful.
i want to get some of the slim jim japanese denim ones because its a thicker denim that breaks into your body better. and then i want to have it tailored in a bit.
after i talked to that guy, i left and got a smoothie then took pics of this awesome post office mail box that was covered in a large sticker or decal i guess, to make it look liek r2d2 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of star wars
when i was taking those pictures some lady in the car was talking to her friend and she said:
"is tha' boy takin' pictures of a mailbox?"
bitch. its a fucking r2d2 mailbox, that only happens once in a while.
cut scene.
im back home and i had a glass of wine with my parents in our back patio and enjoyed the warm weather.
i just had dinner, it wasnt good.
im gonna get somethign to eat, and then i think im going to enjoy another sleep.

katharina, erica and i walked to carytown two weeks ago from shafer court, just to see that mailbox.
we were really disappointed that it was just a sticker.
a v neck shirt is a v neck shirt.
try on one for size and then pick a color.
honestly.
