Wrangler Jeans in the H/J world

I've noticed a big trend for Wrangler's this year in the H/J world. Anyone know why the sudden switch from Levi's? Appararently they have more room in the front, so are more comfortable for riding....and thoughts?

[Harris]

Check with Colin...after her Tahoe trek, seems she's very familiar with that issue.....

[AHC]

I'm a diehard Levis 501 wearer myself, but in recent years have seen a proliferation of other brands... Kinda like brown jackets, colored riding shirts, brown, green and navy helmets and "horses of color" in the hunters (I have one of those, so no comments, please LOL). The consumer can be overwhelmed with choices when in the past there were none. I've gone with the brown jacket and colored shirts, but it's Levis all the way for me in the jeans department.

[Colin]

Actually, I only noticed one man wearing wranglers in Tahoe. Actually, he was the only "straight" male trainer at the show. He was also wearing a rodeo T-shirt....maybe stressing his "manliness"????

[Harris]

Yikes! It's Levis all the way for me...call me a snob, Vogels, TS, Grand Prix, Joureyman....leave the Wranglers to the cow ropers! LOL

[AHC]

Harris, I'm with you -- just look the other way when you see me go by on my western cow pony (pinto mare).

Hey -- Carleton Brooks wears Wranglers, and drives a Ford F-250 Pickup Truck, too! Not the "norm" for the hunter world, huh? He also always wears a ball cap. But that's probably because he doesn't want to get a sunburn on his bald head!

[Anyplace Farm]

I happen to have had the pleasure of seeing that all cowboys wear Wranglers and wouldn't be caught dead in Levis. I wear Levis myself but the deal with Wrangler's is that they don't have that seam that runs along the inside of your leg that rubs if your chaps are a wee bit loose.

I have a friend from Arizona, quite the darling cowboy type and he said, "I don't see how you can wear those things with that seam on the inside of the leg!" So, that confirms it.

[Dee]

I've got about 15 pairs of Wranglers 13MWZ's (cowboy cut) in my closet..just try a pair. They are made for riding--no inside seam and they're cut fuller in the thigh and seat. Plus I can get them with a 36" inseam. Why, you can even get them at Walmart!

[CTT]

I love My wranglers and lawman jeans. They are so comfy and fit right too. No gaping where there shouldn't be any and they are so nice under my chaps. They are really cut to fit and I just love them....

[Moesha]

I think Wranglers are kind of Sexy! Especially on Canadians, but then I have always had a thing for Canada.

[Anyplace Farm]

So, which ones in Wrangler's are like slim fits? I don't want the ones that flare slightly like boot cut. I want the straight cut ones.

[SLW]

Wranglers and Rockies, both made for riding and work.

[ThirdCharm]

The reason cowboys wear Wranglers, aside from the seam thing, is that Wranglers and Justin boots both are huge supporters of the Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association and various related charities (like raising money for bullriders who get seriously hurt and such). That's what one former bullrider told me, anyway.

Personally, out of the saddle, I dress like a rodeo queen. Slim fit Wranglers and western shirts! And I drive a Ford F-250 Diesel, what's wrong with that??? /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

JenniferS

[Good to go]

So acting as the fashion police these days I have a feeling Wranglers are going to be the next hot horse show item...so everyone run on down to Walmart and get your Wranglers...I say we all show up in them at the Middleburg Classic what a perfect place for our hot new fashion statement!!!!! Ok Colin so it's a must!!!!!!

[Moesha]

GTG a certain A/A rider from Virgnina was seen wearing a pair at a recent show! I heard it was quite the sight, it had many women and men breathing a bit heavier then the Keswick heat could cause alone!! He was just hanging out shirtless with his Wranglers and a Cowboy hat!! Quite the masculine look for him!! I wonder if he came into contact with any Nuclear Subs recently??

[Kennett Square]

I could care less what the cowboys are wearing... it's the belt buckle that's the best challenge!! Call me shallow, call me tasteless ( yes I have been called both before many times ) but I think it's the buckle first, then worry about the jeans.....

Bras and belt buckles and Moseby's oh my!

[Broken Line]

Unfortunately, I just have to be happy with any pair of jeans that looks half-way decent on me! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Ok...Call me ignorant...But what the heck are lawman jeans? Are they lawyers in jeans or what??? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I LOVE my Luckys. They fit!!! SinceI actually have no real waist- what with the rib cage & hip bone meeting & all. Wranglers seem to end up looking like grandpa Jones' pants, with the waist somewhere near the armpits. OK- I admit- I like them for the saying that is seen when the fly is unziiped or unbuttoned- you caught me- hmm- just hit me- it seems like a waste , since nobody sees it but me!

[Kennett Square]

Slugger I think you're keeping track of my escapades!! Just remember I get first right to refusal of the movie rights!! We could probably do two versions, the G rated and then the more adult version ......Casting to be determined at a later date. Please don't forget to put the disclaimer in about all the above characters are not real and any parallels to what is happening on the screen and what might have happend in real life is just coincindental....

[Reckoning]

From the sound of that bra, Kennett Square, I'm thinking Pamela Lee!!

But will anyone believe a disclaimer?! Opening night party will be held at Moseby's during Middleburg.

[Hephaistion]

I agree with the cowboys about riding in a pair of jeans with a seam! Ouch! Especially if they're loose, they'll rub you raw!.

One of my favourite old pair of jeans are Wranglers (got them at the Calgary Stampede no less! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif ) They're great for under chaps, look good apres horse, and last forever!

[hunterprincez]

I never thought of the wrangler jeans before. If I had known they had no center seam I would not be walking around permanetly scared from my chaps rubbing holes in my legs. I have another question how does everyone afford to buy Levis to ride in. I started out doing that but they wear out after about 4 months by getting holes in places I would not want to have a hole. Plus I don't know about you but my chaps stain them pretty bad so you cant wear them anywher else. Another thing I had observed. Where I live and most surrounding states a F-250 or larger is a standard trainer vehichle.

[Skipper]

On our trips in past years to the NFR both hubby and I have stocked up on Wranglers. And they come in great colors too!

[Colin]

I guess the big question is "do men look better in wranglers than in levis?"

I never thought so before -- all of the cowboys here in Utah that wear the wranglers have skinny butts! But after Tahoe....they were looking pretty good! LOL!

[AHC]

Ah, the men looking better in Wranglers versus Levis question.... Maybe it's time to do a comparison test. Always preferred the look of Levis myself, but it's been a while since I saw a nice specimen in a pair of Wranglers. Can we post those pictures on the BB?????

Tough to imagine anyone looking better than Dennis Quaid in "The Big Easy" bending over to look into the refrigerator wearing his Levis and not much else!!!!

[This message has been edited by AHC (edited 07-27-2000).]

[Kennett Square]

Not to mention that Dennis Quaid is now available.....

[Inverness]

My hubby wears Levi's. It's why I married him.

[Kennett Square]

Inverness I thought is was because of the Speedo's.... now it's the jeans. HMMM how many husbands do you have?

[Inverness]

Ah, yes, KS - but you make my point; a butt that looks great in a Speedo looks fabulous in Levi's.

[Colin]

Alright -- I have to be honest here. I was ALWAYS a levi's fan - ALWAYS....Until......until.....the TAHOE TRIP! I have to admit -- CB's butt, although a bit wide, is darn cute in those wrangler's!!!!!! LOL!

[BendingLine]

Jeez...I'm getting out of this thread...it's not safe!

[Kennett Square]

Colin,

You always did have exquisite taste for men in jeans, with one minor flaw but we can overlook that one. He's on to more and younger, shall we say!! Look forward to seeng you at the Middleburg/Mosby's bash. We can catch up on all the gossip....

[BendingLine]

Hey Colin I think K.S. just said you were OLD!!! I AM looking forward to tomorrow...have a nice day off!!
P.S. Does anyone know of another AA show in the mid-east region the week of Sept. 18th....I'm steering clear of M'bug Classic - too many out of control people seem to be convening in one place!

[This message has been edited by BendingLine (edited 07-27-2000).]

[Kennett Square]

BL thank you for interrpreting my meaning in the worst possible way!! Colin is quite a fine YOUNG lady. But an old "aquaintence" of hers was who I was talking about. He now seems to have a penchance for the much younger girls now. Must be she was way too much women for him, sigh, that Colin is amazing!!

Bending Line you truly fascinate me and make me laugh. I can't wait too meet you!

[BendingLine]

K.S. I know EXACTLY how old that wiley Colin is....just ask her about that infamous parachute jump! You'll recognize me at M'burg Classic - I'll be the one with the armed guard....

[Kennett Square]

Armed guard you say,hmmm how can I top that. I'll have to see if I can get some Secret Service ones for myself. Are yours going to be Wells Fargo or Pinkerton men?

[Flash44]

From wintering in Ocala, I will attest that mens' butts look much nicer in Wranglers than in Levi's. and what's with the mechanical bull thing? Why do men want to ride it? They KNOW they can't win!

[Anyplace Farm]

Colin - I had to laugh out loud at your post about the trip to Tahoe. Being that you and I are in a similar situation (per our email exchange). All, I just gotta say, I have become VERY partial to cowboys. Yummity-yum-yum...Wrangler's, starched shirts, clean cut, boots, Stetson...oh just try to see one and not feel your heart go pitter pat girls. I dare ya.

I should also share that the aforementioned cowboy individual in my life sent me a Stetson from Arizona, just because. I wear it now to all the shows. Just 'cause I do love to go a bit against the grain at all the shows! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Squirt]

Alright, I'll admit I am totally weak when it comes to a cute derrier in a pair of wranglers. My old stock seat coach ( who was only a couple of years older than I) looked D@mn good in a pair, as others I have seen. Ummm, can we say Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise? Oh, I must learn to behave, I'm practically engaged! http://www.chronofhorse.com/ubb/tongue.gif

[VTrider]

I worked at the AQHA for a summer and I also show cattle, so I have a bunch of pairs of Rockies and Lawmans. If the ladies would like to know a secret, jeans without pocket son teh back make your hind quarters look slim. Actually, the fit of Rockies and Lawman jeans make your whole body look 10 pounds lighter! Plus, they are long and long jeans make your legs look longer and skinnier!

Yes Colin, guys do look better in Wranglers than Levis! Wranglers help accentuate (SP?) the hind quarters!

[Jeb]

I am personally holding out for the big Girbaud comeback that should be just around the corner. It was really odd at first, to see that big white tag, you-know-where.

[Moesha]

Jeb, the new Girbaud line would be lovely to see. Would you consider wearing them to my Fall party? I'll be opening My Savannah home in about a month, I know how much you love the house and would be delighted to have you as a weekend guest. I have brought so many wonderful things from my recent journey, art and antiquities from around the world.

[Jeb]

Only if we get to see the libated monkey fertility talisman. I hear that one is the prize find. How long did the container take to get shipped from Capetown?

[AHC]

Gotta love the white tag on the Girbaud's! Think I still have an old pair just waiting for them to come back into style. Never like Guess? though -- they revealed way too much for my taste!

[BendingLine]

I'm confused - I thought Girbaud's was that tony little eatery on the "wrong" side of the street in Middleburg?

[Hephaistion]

Moesha, Moesha, how mean! taunting Jeb about his last visit to your house! You jilted him so cruely that hot day in Savannah, the poor man hasn't been the same since

Besides, why haven't you invited ME?.

(BTW - what are Girbauds?)

[AHC]

First garanimals and now Girbaud... What are we going to do with you, Jair?

Girbaud is a brand of jeans that were popular in the early 80s. Don't know if they were really French or faux French. Their signature was a small white cotton strip (kinda like a Levi's tag, but horizontal and sewn into the denim instead of sticking out) that said Girbaud across the middle of the fly.

[Moesha]

Oh Jair, I would love to entertain you for the weekend, in fact I can't sleep for thinking of the day we finaly meet, I can never make up my mind whether you or Jeb are the more attractive, I was awake all last night trying to decide! I only spoke of Jeb visiting, because he had shown so much interest in my trip. I thought it had to do to the many months he was forced to live in the Incan ruins in the Andes, after his place went down on a routine flight in his jet. It was there he developed such a love for the history and mystery of the ancient world. I would never treat him badly, that day long ago where we sat drinking Ice Tea on the porch, the gentle breeze beckoning the leaves to leave the safety of their branches and to play with the wind in a dance of fun and romance. It was a long time ago,and was merely a story set forth by a mind bored with the gentile and strict upbringing of a southern family. Why I declare, I don't know how it got so out of hand! But, Jair we must definitely meet for Tea, tell me all about Vancouver? I lived in Seattle as a child and always heard stories of BC's beauty and elegance..

[Hephaistion]

I knew I could count on you AHC! I don't suppose you'd care to take me shopping? I could use a fashion guru like you! LOL!

[Hephaistion]

Moesha - BC is indeed a beautiful and elegant place - it would be well graced by your presence. Perhaps Jeb could fly you there in his private jet that you mentioned? We could have Peach Tiazzi's on the deck of my beach front property overlooking the calm waters of the Pacific Ocean with the Rocky Mountains as its backdrop... and you can finally make your choice between us.

Colin and Bending Line may come as well, as I have promised to introduce them to their future spouses. Feel free to bring MANY bottles of wine as a housewarming! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif LOL

[Jeb]

Finally, somebody gets to ask Jair about something! TIAZZIS???? I thought that was the flooring of choice in Venice.

Jair, I'm afraid I am out of that race. Old news. Yesterday's USA Today. Earth Shoes. Tears For Fears. Add-a-beads. Gone and forgotten. It will happen to you too, mon ami. You have been warned.

Alas, I've moved on. The time in the Andes cleared my mind. That and a full day at Nordstrom with Duffy. A tonic for the soul, she is. And an awesome shopper.

[Hephaistion]

Don't they have Tiazzi's down there? Well, they are Starbuck's newest invention: kind of like a frappacino except made with Ice Tea and fruit juice whirled together in a blender with ice. Yummy! They are addictive and normally just the thought of one makes we want to go to Starbucks, but /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif its pouring here, so maybe I'll get a latte instead...

Where is Duffy anyways?

[Reckoning]

Moesha...Savannah...art...antiquities...

Can I come too?! I'll bring my invisable dog to walk and I promise not to be any trouble!!

Did anyone else read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil? http://www.chronofhorse.com/ubb/tongue.gif

[Hephaistion]

Of course you can come Slugger - and bring your dog - the invisible kinds are the best - no shedding! LOL

[JRG]

I have to admit when I saw the tile of this post I started to laugh. Then reading some of the post I was giggling like a school girl.

My FONDEST memories of living in Oklahoma was the absolutely awesome sight of all those cowboys in there starched shirts and the tightest wranglers I ever saw. So much so I married one!!

Nothing sent my Canadian heart into a frenzy as a gorgous guy comming up to you in a road house, tipping his hat and asking for a dance. I was sunk.

[Finzean]

Slugger -

it may be safe to bring your invisible dog but make sure you know what you're getting when you order a Chablis....
And give my regards to Minerva.

The only comment I have to make is, didn't hunter/jumper people steal the chaps idea from the "cow ropers"? It only makes sense that you would take the jeans too, after all, that is what they are made for, and are MUCH more comfy under chaps than levi's from what I have heard! I think I will stick to my Boots and Breeches and leave the chaps/jeans to you hunter/cowpoke types... /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif (This post was not intended to offend anyone in any way, shape or form.

[Dee]

Eeeeeek! Clutch the pearls! We've lost all decorum here, and over denim-encased buns....But (ahem) I do agree, Wranglers, Lawmans and Rockies make your rear-end look better. And on men they look just delightful! Here's a tip, tho...you can get the cheaper line of Wranglers at Walmart, but for the 13MWZ style (cowboy cut)--go to State Line Western catalog, or pick up a Western Horseman mag. I get the men's because they seem to fit better.

[Van Teal]

I just want to know boxers or briefs under the wranglers or levis or comando????

[Inverness]

I know nothing of boxers or briefs but have it on good authority that one must dress right in Wranglers and dress left in Levi's.

[AHC]

Dee, clutch the pearls -- one of my all-time favorite expressions..... This thread got even better overnight.

Jair, I would be happy to take you shopping anytime! Girbaud, Garanimals, Wranglers, Levis, TS, Grand Prix, whatever you'd like... Always wanted to see Spruce Meadows and/or the Calgary Stampede, so maybe I should come up to Canada too. And what did I hear about introducing Colin and Bending Line to their future husbands... I'm looking for one of those too.

[ClemsonGraduateRider]

You all are too funny . . . I ride IHSA and I see plenty of boys in wranglers and some of them look much better than others!! At nationals it was quite nice to have something to look at while I was waiting to ride and working the paddock area (not to mention at nationals there were quite a few nice looking cowboys in quite a few nice looking pairs of wranglers)

However I always thought (and maybe from looking at the wrong derriere's) that wrangler's made ladies rear's look a little wider!! I am trying to get into stock seat though so I will let you all know how it goes when I put on my first pair of wranglers!! (I can get finzean to testify!!)

[Finzean]

Ooohhh, Nik! Do you remember that handsome guy who helped take Jaki B. to the hospital after she smashed her leg at the CU show this spring? He's the team roping guy (can't remember his name!!!) who looks A+++++++ in his Wranglers!

Husband used to work for Wrangler and maybe he could call in a favor and get a couple of pairs of rodeo queen silver (yes, I mean metallic) jeans for you and Slickmix to sport around the showgrounds... And you could have big hair, with a short top and listen to ABBA music all day! But you'll have to be on the lookout for Moesha; the music will lure him in and then he'll accost you and steal your super cool jeans!

[VTrider]

On the topic of jeans, www.rods.com (http://www.rods.com) - has the most beautiful clothes - not too expensive - and you can get great looking Rockies, Lawman's and Wranglers. They have great shirts as well! Just an FYI for my fellow shopping friends!!

[Reckoning]

I must bow to Inverness' extensive knowledge of dressing left and right. However, I believe Virginia Etiquette Law clearly states that one must always go commando unless one is showing in tight white breeches. Tight white breeches, if memory serves, require very loud boxer shorts. Of course, our resident underwear expert, Kennett Square, should feel free to clarify or restate if this is incorrect. Are you out there, Lady Lingerie?

[Good to go]

Excuse me Moesha, but I believe I have caught you red handed..as I predicted!!!

OMG! Good to Go and Moesha! All those rumors were true. And that time GTG came back from that trail ride they went on all disheveled and red faced - I really believed her when she said that horse had catapulted her into a fence - boy am I naive! And poor Colin....coming all the way to Middleburg in hopes of snagging Moesha - all for nothing. Well I guess that solves the mystery of the unmentionables in that poor trainer's car at Culpeper.

Very sad...isn't it???

[Kennett Square]

Yes Slugger,
I am lurking here this morning. I believe the rule of thumb for underwear while wearing white britches goes like this. I you are riding in Grand Prix that will be televised you wear no underwear. This will keep all viewers fixated to the screen, mesmerized by every little move made. Remember we need to draw in more spectators anyway we can. I myself prefer the Au Natural use of underwear when riding, less to pack, less to launder. But for a fine night out only the best under garments will do.....

As for all other divisions, less is always more and you can never go wrong with the classic white lace ( thong, bikini, french cut,boxers, etc). If you are wearing the darker toned riding pants let your imagination be your only barrier! Remember guys and gals a VPL ( visable panty line) will always be there unless you go the Au Natural way!! Happy showing!!

[Moesha]

Good to go, really! Remember yourself! Making a spectacle out of your self in public! How, very Middleburg you have become! Now you have more important tasks, like finding a new eq. horse for Big Foot! I think a 17.6 hand Bactrin Camel/Okapi cross should do, I believe there are many available in Portsmouth Virginia. And please don't chide me about planning quite innocent social gatherings, especially after your fiasco with that certain Blond hunter trainer and that twisted Hammock last year at the middleburg show. I have decided to punish you! As soon as I return with Florida, who will no doubt win the High heels around the world with Diana Ross race. I am going to ask one of my supposed flirtatious interests to accompany me to London. You will have to stay and watch the children and must obviously give up your precious Shark Club, which Jair may be purchasing with Duffy to turn into Sewing Store run by Period Girl and Sea Urchin.

[Yng Amateur]

This is not, technically, a "Wrangler" question, but has anyone heard about a new fad of hunter trainers (men) wearing clamdiggers?! I find that bizarre, but I understand it's all the rage at a certain barn in Middleburg, and Moesha and GTG have already jumped on board the fashion wagon, - gee, half chaps and now clam diggers - do they have something against full size pants?! Is it that Mexican influence?

Excuse me, but we are not talking about clam diggers...we're talking about capri length (according to Fashion Police dictionary there is a difference in length)and of course these must always be worn with clogs to complete the look!!! <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Yng Amateur:

[Jeb]

Duffy owning a Sewing Store? Might be dangerous, yet profitable. Only if all the custom breeches had tag placement a la Girbaud. But, the thought of her dragging me to Hancock Fabrics, pouring over back issues of Simplicity patterns - GADS! Would take time away from our Nordstrom junkets. Our time is sacrosanct.

Maybe they should just start out with custom pads and see how that goes. Then a line of feathered bats. Can you say RETRO???

Soon, a sweat shop mentality takes over, Duffy, shopping all day, with me in tow. We pop into the Sewing Store just to make sure there are no idle hands. We serve Cuban coffee to make sure everyone is sufficiently productive. Duffy screaming obscenities at the hired help. "Urchin!!! We don't NEED another scarlet coat!! Back to the pads!!"
Then, Vera Wang calls her on the Nokia insisting that Duffy should hijack my jet and meet her Ibiza for ceviche. Inverness (the Ingrid Casares of the horse world) invites herself and she and Duffy go on their way.

The life of a trophy husband isn't all glamour, believe me.

BTW Jeb - don't EVER forget that I own the other half of Duffy's sewing store! So if you think you're going to be a kept boy forget it! I am in charge of the accounting... which means I can buy drinks for everyone at Moseby's...

Ouch! - you may not be aware of how MANY people plan to attend that Mosby's gathering at Middleburg Classic - I know of attendees coming from several different states, across half the country - Kennett Square is working on name tags (how gauche, at Mosby's, no less) - Inverness in charge of bouncers at the door. You will need to bring a LARGE checkbook.

[Jeb]

Jair:

But I married into the Vampire Syndicate, so your powers are useless here!! Besides you and Mo will be in London having tea with Morrissey.

[Duffy]

Oh Jair?!? I hope you don't mean the corporate checkbook!! Although, come to think of it, maybe this outing does qualify as a deductible expense. . .hmmmm. . .These could be our models/customers we're entertaining, right? Marketing, Marketing, Marketing!!!

And I've been thinking, we're going to be needing lots of monogramming machines, because I plan on monogramming everything, including the breeches. Placement is the key there, don't you think?? Ooooh, just imagine the possibilities!!

Also, I think that I should be the one handling the finances. I'm not sure I want to hand over those reins to anyone ever again, (voluntarily or involuntarily). LOL

Ooooh, we also need to make sure we have machine that can handle sewing leather, don't you think? And the guys equipped to run them, of course. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

You're a sick puppy Duffy! You forgot the wheelbarrows to help customers haul off their purchases - isn't that what they gave you when you got all those custom pads for EVERYONE at your barn at Culpeper?! (after you left, the salesperson asked me if you ran a riding camp!)

[Hephaistion]

Duffy! You're back. I didn't appreciate you ditching me with the store while you went galavanting off with Jeb like that! http://www.chronofhorse.com/ubb/mad.gif You'd better have brought me back a gift!

As for the finances, no, don't think so! I'm the one that wears the chaps in this partnership! LOL.

BTW How exactly did you want those guys equipped Duffy? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[piaff2000]

i have probably every brand of jeans in my closet from wrangler to calvin klien to even the k-mart generic, trying to find the perfect pair of jeans to work and ride in all day long. and my wranglers are by far my favorite. they are comfortable to ride/work in but they can take a hell of a beating, and best of all they dont fade that quickly and my chaps dont permanately (sp?) stain them. oh, an i almost fogot, almost everyone notices a wrangler butt :-)

[Duffy]

Come now, Jair! You didn't expect me to work at the store when we became partners, did you??? I do so enjoy coming to play for a visit, supervise, make recommendations, etc. from time to time. However, my other endeavors obviously take up much of my time as well! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Hephaistion]

And just what would those other endeavours BE Duffy? Inquiring minds want to know...

Besides, who wants to work anyways? Specially not on a FRIDAY! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Moesha]

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall. Whose the Fairest of them all?

[Kennett Square]

Well I for one can attest that Duffy's other endeavors are being on-line at all odd hours of the morning. I think she is watching QVC and checking prices out on-line just to make sure they are comparable. You can price yourself out of existance if you don't know what the cable channels are selling it for. My lands,do you know what a pair of Taupe/elephant/mocha/gray pair of britches go for? Name brand, not off the racker's? I swear Duffy has her finger to the pulse and her mouse on the smut... oops I mean stuff.

I myself know that she's on-line at the wee hours, as I am usually checking my mail when I get in from late Mass, and am costantly wondering what it is she is doing to amuse herself on-line that late. Just who is she talking to... the West Coast, Europe? Does she have a kept paramour that she has neglected to tell us about?
Is he a Horse Person? An Actor? A Sheik? Maybe,a gasp, a mere mortal. No don't tell me that. I would be truly light headed and have to go to my bed with the vapors.

Duffy, remember the first thing to ask the gentleman, after he asks you out, is " May I see your most recent financial statement" (we are going on the assumption he is simgle). Then agree to go out only after he has produced it. The Sewing Shop could always use an infusion of new money, not to in anyway inmply that you or Jair are needy....but money is money!!!

Hmm.....K.S....were your ears just ringing...?! Seems a certain mid-West correspondent was more than happy to recount to me some of your...shall we say....less publicized exploits! I've decided it will now be TWO security guards....
"Late mass"?! Who are you kidding? Is that what they're calling last call at the Shark Club now?! LOL
And Duffy has obviously been keeping you in the dark! Clearly her sewing business would be dead in the water, before it even gets off the ground, if the truth were to get out.
P.S. Said mid-western correspondent is "sleeping for two hours now", having braided during the wee hours last night.....I think this would be an excellent time for her "friends" to slam her!! LOL

Originally, trying to discover how to be truly cool in denim fashion; end up reading about escapades that make "The Talented Mr. Ripley" look domestic, the nuances of undergarments and adjustments therein, ways to sartorially elicit torturous monograms, and descriptions of glutei that surely make the mind wander from the confines of an office cubicle.

So am I to suppose the Wrangler's have it? Toss my "off brands". Surely Levi's could never have brought on such a ferver of prose that would make Erica Jong blush.

What about shorts? Do I dare suppose it is wrangler's as well?

I fear the stories I have heard from those that the fashion police abducted, persecuted, edified and enlightened and eventually liberated from their taudry life of "non frais modèle"

Why, me of course. Definitely NOT that Jeb guy (although he too is reknowned for his good looks..) /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Retrophish - NEVER believe in the titles of the threads! They are ever misleading...
As for shorts, wasn't that you in those hootchi coochie shorts spying on the illicit meeting between Jeb and Kennett Square at Biltmore?

and Kennett Square - the sewing store is just a front for Duffy's and my REAL business (insert evil laugh...)

[This message has been edited by Jair (edited 07-28-2000).]

[Retrophish]

Jeb,

How did you know it was me?? I thought I was wearing the latest Biltmore fashion and that I would blend right in. Perhaps twere the mongramed garanimal boxers peeking out the bottom? I knew I shouldnt have let that OH-SO-smashingly-handsome salesman in that sewing store talk me into getting them embellished.

...and the things I spied!!!!.....You think Disovery Channel is risque!! and in public-- no better then animals. I pity anyone who would have to make the heart wrenching choice between what appeared to be some of the finest human speciments I have ever lied my spying eyes upon. Truly beautiful

[Kennett Square]

Jair, my, dear I was trying to keep all from knowing about the brothel you two are running... the Madam an Monsuiere(?) of the horse show world. I have been keeping a low profile since I was so malaigned on this board regarding the mocked-up charges of me telling all the deep dark secrets on the inner workings of the COTH BB. Duffy is really recruiting when she's on-line late at night and you are gleefully counting the money while she lures the new recruits to the "Sewing Shop".

Y.A.,

What slanderous gossip is spreading wanton tales about me? I'm sure they have me mistaken with some other K.S., but if not please take pity on me! I was young and know not what I was doing in my illicit youth. How was I to know that some of the things I did were too far ahead of my time for all? As for last call at the Sharks Club? Who ME??? But I will admit the bar is made for dancing.....Wednesday night anyone??

[Yng Amateur]

What slanderous gossip is spreading wanton tales about me? I'm sure they have me mistaken with some other K.S.

Clue: known for wild streak herself, bobbles in braids, Mosby's bottomless charge account, patented parachute jump in a/a's (no assembly required).....she knew FAR too many specifics for it to be some "other" K.S.

[Kennett Square]

Yikes, I've been found out! I need to know who this certain Mid-westerner is. I have idea but I will need to research it much more. Might it be from someone who lives in a state that ,say, practices Moormanism????

But Retrophish - those are my best work! You know how much I LOVE garanimals! And to monogram them is tres chique don't you know! Colin, Sea Urchin and Good to Go have all placed orders! They will no doubt be showing them off at Middleburg.

Ah KS, so you know about our little secret at the sewing store? You know what happens to those who know too much...

Au contraire Jair, not Sea Urchin - Good to Go and Colin maybe, along with their Wranglers, half chaps, capri pants and clogs. Sea Urchin doesn't stoop to such things, just ask Duffy!

[Moesha]

Now Sea Urchin, don't tell such lies about what you will and won't stoop to, As I recall you offered to do a lot of stooping last Friday evening and I had to ask you to leave at once....Really.... I just was not brought up that way and would not engage in such acts, especially on my Family's veranda.

[Retrophish]

OH MY I think we're talking about a whole 'nother type of stooping now.

and on the veranda no less!!

Where's the trainer's car when you need it?

Actually, I cant believe SeaUrchin would be caught in, shall we say, a not-so-savory position. Especially since Jeb and Jair could be anywhere. (sounds like a storyline for "Three's Company")

Oh really? That's not what Jeb told me.

Sea Urchin: who do you think told me about your monogrammed garanimals if not Duffy? SHE took that order I believe. Really, Urchin we have all HEARD about your escapades, so there's no use in denying them!

[Reckoning]

I would like to take a moment to humbley apologize for cavalier remark concerning dressing left and right. While age is a high price to pay for maturity, I assure you all that once I pass the mark of my 25th birthday the impishness that marks my current youth shall wither and die.

Since I have already violated the sanctity... Perhaps Duffy can sew everyone some super hip-hugging leather Daisy Dukes to remove all questions/concerns about who "hangs" where? With our names monogramed on the derriere? I think on the left cheek would be most tasteful...

[Moesha]

Really Jair!! I cannot believe that you would make such a vulgar reference after all you spoke of in your last letter, I actually had held you in such high esteem and waited eagerly for our first walks along the serene streets of the Georgian cities. Now, however, I think I shall postpone Savannah and instead go to Newport and spend my evenings alone walking the cliff walk, letting the sweet scent of the ocean and the pounding of the surf erase the memories of the brutal and constant suitors who were after one thing, that they shall never acquire at this rate.. I knew that I should have spent more time on Northern prospects as opposed to the sly cunning ways of the South and the rugged and trendiness of the Pacific North West. I shall entertain the many callings I always receive in Newport and hopefully will find someone of good quality from a good family and of course with a Brown Undergraduate degree a Harvard MBA and a Law degree from Yale. I already have one asking me for late brunch at my Granparents home. Therefore I must pack my things tonight and I think my horses as well and leave...Gooodbye cruel bulletin board...........

[Hephaistion]

My dear Moesha! Why all the melodrama? You should know me better after all of our lovely correspondence by mail. I so look forward to you lavender-scented envelopes!

I was merely repeating the rumours that I have heard...Please remember that the southern gentleman in question had just had his tender heart broken - you must expect some bitterness. *sigh* I'm afraid I have upset you. Please be assured I hold you in nothing but the highest regard. Perhaps you would like to do lunch at Maxim's in Paris next week? I think Jeb would lend me his learjet...

I think it's time for everyone to go out and have a great weekend! (I'm still high on endorphins from having a lovely ride today!)

Gee, where is the LOVE, people? I leave for the afternoon and come back to Sex and the City, Oz, and Sopranos all on one thread...too much HBO!!

Go to your neutral corners and crease you jeans of choice...and prepare for the Girbaud comeback. You heard it here first.

Sniff, sniff. I'm sooo sorry! Sniff, sniff. please forgive me, Jair! Sniffle, sniff, sniff. My woebegone heart longs for a relationship with my long lost big brother!

After Mother and Father gave you up that tribe of Aborigines (no fault of their own of course. It was you or the George Froman Grill- what to do, what to do!) and they took you away to Abidjan, I was never the same. Oh, how I missed you during the annual Christmas photograph. No one to hold Mother's Jack Russel/Doberman/Chocolate Lab cross. You remember Hector, don't you? He was so fond of peanut butter and dirty underpants. And to think, she spent thirty years trying to make the AKC recognize such a breed... it's no wonder you live in Canada. Please don't say I can't go to Savannah with you and Moesha?! I am overwhelmed with glee at the prospect of becoming reacquainted with you after all these years. As for your belonging to another... surely this person comes after Hector in your heart of hearts. Hopefully, both of you will arrive in Savannah with your hand-made-by-Duffy-hot-pants-with-monogramed-seat to make you easily identifyible. Moesha could send his car, but that wouldn't be as personable...
