Except how much those jeans cost.

11. Were they made in America?
Or was it just another big posh brand name at Daytons, which might very well be the same jeans sold at Target under the store-brand name?
(I love it when stores do that...)

12. Were they made in a sweatshop?
Maybe by little 10 year old Chinese girls?

20. What's your favorite dB's song?
And should people who post "Ask Me Anything" threads be required to answer all questions?

22. I'm sorry to say
I don't know them as well as I'd like. Have friends who are major dBs fans and I did see them play The Hideout's Block Party a couple years back in Chicago.

30. Oh they did
Hence the 'obscene' in the thread title.

Haven't washed 'em yet, but they're stretch jeans.

35. Will do!
I am also looking into shipping things home to the UK as well... it's a good time for me to do that as it's much cheaper now for me!

M bags galore! (I'm still shipping my books over)

And I've tried NOT to buy clothes here so much... but I needed some light clothing (as I am a bit photosensitive in the summer, breaking out in red bumps on my exposed skin). I might just look into the Salvos or the thrift shops for light clothing as it's not the season anymore.

I even thought about buying tvs or even the Wii... but we shall see (I'm a 26-year-old geek for gaming!) (The Wii is £182 in the US, compared to £250 here in the UK)

I have to keep in mind I'm only limited to £145 to take back to the UK. But as I'm going with my partner, together we can bring back £290 (145 each), which is over $600 of stuff. We won't spend that much of course!
