Stalker.

I have spent the bulk of the evening being totally unproductive and stalking the Melodia Designs eBay store. They're uploading new and post-Tribal Fest goodies. Those medium 34" black sashes will be mine. *is determined*

In other stupid news, I think my favorite pair of jeans have given up the ghost. I've had 'em since high school, and the zipper will no longer stay up. Since I've not really worn jeans since college, they were my last pair (that fit, anyway-- my size 8's fall right off). I looooove Lucky brand jeans (mostly 'cause when you unzip 'em, the fly says "Lucky You," and I find that illicitly hilarious). But I'm wondering if the VS jeans that lift your tush up would be tacky or wonderful. Hmm. Deep thoughts.

*returns to stalking Melodia site*

Why do you need a zipper that stays up?

Ohhh yeah... Lucky Jeans are really nice.

To watch people wear. :)

That's so weird that you mentioned lucky brand jeans-- I just bought a second pair of them this weekend and I am in love. I have the lowest rise pair-- lil' maggie I think-- and they're the only low rise jeans that actually stay where they're supposed to. Amazing, and worth every dollar IMHO.

One thing you could try (where I got my first pair for $40) is to try somewhere like Filene's basement where they get in higher end stuff for relatively cheap. Or, if you know what size/fit you like, you can get a pair on ebay for $40-$60.

I've never tried the VS jeans, but I think that lucky brand would probably hold up better... and I don't know if you need the ass lift function particularily. When I think of you, I usually don't think saggy tush :-p

Those jeans sound really cool!

For metal zippers that won't stay up, use graphite, which is just a pencil tip! Take the pencil and rub it up and down over the teeth of the zipper. This should help the zipper stay up.

or

Basically, the zipper pull has become loose over the teeth and is sliding down over the teeth too easily. There's nothing wrong with the teeth, it's all with the zipper pull.

Take a clamping tool (pliers work well) and apply it to one side of the zipper pull, while the zipper is open (on either side of the pull tab) that actually goes over the teeth and clamp down a little bit. Then do the same to the other side. It doesn't really take a lot of pressure. Then test. If it holds better, then you are done. If it doesn't hold, apply a little bit more pressure. Don't do too much or you'll never get the pull to zip and unzip. Then you're screwed.

Did you finish Sabriel yet? I just want to know if you liked it at all since our reading intrests have never even been close until now. Garth Nix is one of my favorite writers, but I think you would like A Lost Tale, an earlier book of his. That one isn't exactly high fantasy, uses a lot of Norse mythology (which I started reading at your suggestion) and is pretty funny in a sarcastic way. Let me know :)

love you much
