New Jeans Deliver The Sag Style Sans Unwanted Wardrobe Malfunctions
Harlem Inventor Creates Anti-Sag Device To Stop The Sag
Earlier this year, Sen. Eric Adams started a "Stop the Sag" campaign, putting up billboards across Brooklyn encouraging teens to stop looking like fools with their pants on the ground. It was an unconventionally proactive advertising campaign, whose impact was hard to judge. But the sagging epidemic caught the attention of at least one Harlem inventor, who created a device to help regulate sag with mathematical precision.
Casual Friday Situation At Goldman Sachs
Apparently employees in Goldman Sachs' securities division are allowed to wear jeans in the office on August Fridays if they donated $25 to one of four charities. Dealbook reports, "The summer heat has seemed to inspire fashion-forward financiers to push the casual-Friday envelope. 'It’s been getting ridiculous,' said one female analyst, who asked not to be identified. 'Last Friday, there were traders walking around the floor with three buttons of their shirts undone, showing off their pecs and hairless chests.'" [Via Daily Intel]
NYC Billboards Too Hot for Jersey to Handle
That racy billboard in Jersey has turned off enough people that the NYC-based billboard company, CBS Outdoor, is buckling under the pressure and taking it down. The grievances aired include that it's too sexually explicit; that it is insulting to the city’s African-American population; and that it's an example of outsiders coming in and degrading the city of Newark. Amongst those against the billboard is Mayor Cory Booker, who requested that it be removed.
Jersey Prudes Can't Handle Sexually Suggestive Billboard
Rapper T.I.'s clothing line, AKOO, has put up a billboard in Newark that has locals fanning themselves and suffering spells! The advertisement shows a woman holding on to a man's unbuttoned jeans whilst his hand is placed lovingly against the back of her head. Those gutter-minded Jerseyites think these two had, or are just about to engage in, oral sex. Blush! The image hangs above a major intersection, and Eyewitness News reports that while "people on the street said they never noticed the billboard before," they had plenty of opinions once it was pointed out.
Bad Idea Jeans: $595 Jeans
Is Donna Karan still based out of New York... or The Universe? The designer seems unaware of the epic financial crisis going down right now, as she just released her new $595 jeans into the marketplace. They allegedly boast a bias-cut (aka no side seams) and are available in boutiques and department stores right now should you be wondering where to spend that money reserved for your next six unlimited Metrocards. She told the NY Post, "I went into business in the first place in order to create jeans that I couldn't find for myself. Now I'm craving a more decadent, sexy and iconic pair of jeans." The paper calls her design "the Holy Grail of jeans—body-conscious, ultra-slimming and classically cut." Is the new recession busting tactic to target self-conscious women? Will realtors soon be jacking up rents for apartments that have flattering lighting and skinny mirrors?
