[quote user="theetruscan"]I dunno man, it looks like a girl wearing her boyfriend's shirt around the house. What about that is different from oversized AA shirts? Maybe if you leave the pricetag on someone will know the difference, but I really don't see how it could be worth $500 to look like you're just out of a (much larger) someone else's bed.

Voltaire-ADL, I'm gonna give it another try :)

The black "sack" that this man is wearing reminds me of when some poor "wet behind the ears" sailor was tossed overboard as punishment for not washing the poop deck correctly, then hauled back up and then forced to go back to work while his drenched clothes sag off of his moth-eaten body. It's not sharp, it's sloppy and formless and requires no imagination or creativity to make it. It's not distinctly Ann, it's distinctly oversized.

If you're looking at two amorphous pieces of cheap black fabric (and lets face it, Ann's quality has gone down faster than Sevigny on Gallo in Brown Bunny.Low stitch-per-inch count, cheap material, and even less creativity). that have exactly 4 holes (2 glorified "sleeves" and a smaller hole for your nugget and another for your legs), then look no further than your local friendly salvation army where you can very easily get something that fits just as "well" and costs closer to the value of the "design" of this look (that is: 75 cents per piece before tax).

Sure it may be Ann, and you may want to support her, and it may feel better knowing you got that rectangular black and white tag with her name on it slapping against your neck as you walk, but in the end, if you're gonna layer with it, people aren't going to see the lovely drape, flow or multiple layers of black tee. Save yourself the $1k.

YOU ARE PAYING ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR TWO SHORT SLEEVE SHIRTS.

No fabric in the world costs that much. This is like 3 yards of black cotton in the end. Not even cotton, dyed with the blood of the archangel Gabriel and picked by Moses himself and then used to wrap the baby Jesus costs that much for three yards of fabric.

Not to mention the various sweat shops that now make Ann's stuff took precisely 10 minutes to measure, cut and sew (and laugh at all the suckers that will be buying regular black cotton sacks for five hundred a pop) this thing.

*whew*!!

In all honesty though Voltaire, that's really expensive for what you get from Ann... or from anyone else for two drapey t-shirts. To put it in perspective, even MA+/CCP/LMaltieri tees are on the order of $300ish. At least wait until deep discount time... I'm sure they'll still be around then especially since so many places carry Ann worldwide, you can almost certainly score it for a fraction of retail my friend.

[quote user="Faust"]pbt, going off of your signature, have you ever read Master and Margarita?
[/quote]

Faust, no I haven't though I've meant to pick it up having read the raves a while back on the WAYR thread. The signature is a quotefrom my latestfiction kick,Denis Johnson, and inspired by the recent Pniddy tear.

I think you might love it.

Faust, you've gone and broken the rules of FSG. I am soon gonna be $30.00 poorer, unless before I bite the bullet latertonightsomeone recommendsa different translation(Volokhonsky and Peavear?) over this one.

[/quote]

Man, tough call, never read it in English actually. Give me a day or two to research which translation is best.

[quote user="voltaire's anti-defamation league"]

summer time is looming when i like to sit out on the balcony, smoke cigarillos and live by the dictum: if you gaunt it flaunt it.

about to slam down the hammer on these girls;

let me have it, rsg. if there is hope it lies in the proles.

[/quote]

ok. to recap. aka hits a jumper from the baseline...voltaire comes back even stronger than before punishing aka w this trash talk, then using the back board to throw himself the slam dunk...but NO, albert just decides to get NASTY rejecting voltaire, dunking over him and jesus, arcangel gabriel, and moses. God, angry, breaks the backboard in the process... purity throws up an air ball, he's still got work on his post up move, while kira gets a 3 second violation for daydreaming about joey's ummm...belt. the etruscan throws up some sexy imagery himself, faust backs the play, except the clock runs out and Aerosmith comes on for a gender bending halftime show. we are talking about Anne, so what do you expect. But it is albert's domination of the second half spurred by a brown bunny let loose on the court run down and captured by vincent gallo, unafraid to blow his cover, that finally convinces voltaire to concede. well done, RSG.

pm sent, case closed. RSG thanks you.

(oh and I won my second tennis match in a row!)

Thanks theetruscan -- that is in fact the one I was planning to pick up. But I'll hold of in case Faust comes up an alternative suggestion.

Loving the "RSGN" highlight and recap!

Its like I'm courtside baby!

Congrats on smoking fools for the second game in a row Pnidz!

Re: Recession Support Group (no enablers allowed!)



Damn, RSG is getting hectic.

People best come correct if they want to purchase something now a days.

RSG comes correct.

Re: Recession Support Group (no enablers allowed!)



You know the thing about RSG, it's actually working as a deterrent for me just by being here.

Right now, there is nothing on the purchase list aside from the CCP black fencing jacket.

Thank you RSG for keepin this cat in check without even trying!

It would be hilarious to elevate this to a level where members have sponsors.

Feel the urge? Call your sponsor and they'll tear that item apart and make you feel like a human turd for even reaching around back for your wallet.
