I think I have six or seven pair of jeans, but this blog is about four of them. Four of them that were purchased are the exact same size (on the tag anyways), same brand, and purchased at the same store. They are a good brand name purchased at a surf style shop here in … [Read more...]
Take Your Politics And Shove It
