So someone put a Nieman Marcus holiday catalog in the bathroom at work last week, and today I made the mistake of leafing curiously through it... What. The. Fuck. Is. Wrong. With. Rich. People??? There was a pair of cute pants that I liked with red thread embroidery and little shell buttons all over the legs, but lets have some perspective here, they were polyester/lycra. Wal-mart fabric. You'd pay maybe 15 bucks for them there, and hopefully if you're a nice person spare a prayer for the 12 year old maquiladora girl that stitched them together over in East Bumfuck, Indonesia. Meanwhile these fuckers are charging $390 bucks, and I seriously doubt it's for fair trade purposes. Politics aside though - $390????? FOR A PAIR OF POLYFUCKINGESTER PANTS??????

Anyway, I agree. Highly-flammable clothing should not cost that much money....

$15 for the pants and $375 for the NAME of the designer. It's like "Juicy" velour wear. It's fucking velour! With big ass lettering across the bottom! I don't understand that trend at all.
