'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh my GOD.
Thanks to Facebook, I have discovered that my ten year HS class reunion is the same weekend as Thanksgiving. When I will be in town.
And while there are a couple of people I might like to see, uh...
"Hi, everyone! I've gained weight since high school AND I am completely unsuccessful! How YOU doin'?"
taking into account labour-hours
Maybe it was made by multinational CEOs and professional sports players. Those labor charges would add up quick.
Mink lined - the mink were specially bred, fed a diet of champagne and caviar, hand-groomed every day, the fur taken when each had reached the peak of its beauty. Denim from specially cultivated cotton, hand-picked, thread spun and then woven by hand by temple virgins.
Or just an obscene mark-up for a designer label.
"Hi, everyone! I've gained weight since high school AND I am completely unsuccessful! How YOU doin'?"
I'd phrase it more like "Hi, everyone! I haven't had kids and get to lie in on weekends, thinking of ways to spend all the money I don't have to spend on diapers! You?"
No?
Seriously. Couture is one thing, but that level of decadence makes my skin crawl. 75,000+ homeless in LA, many living mere miles away from a $200,000 denim jacket. Feh.

Like on HIMYM this week: the lobsters raised on Kobe beef!
Sue, your house is a candy bowl! It's awesome! So pretty.

"Hi, everyone! I've met Neil Gaiman, and danced with Joss Whedon to Greenday. You don't even know who any of those people are!".
Also:
"Hi, everyone! I've gained weight since high school AND I am completely unsuccessful! How YOU doin'?"
Everyone's gained weight since high school, and most of them have never left town. At least, that was my experience at my 10 year reunion.

You could tell them you are a successful amateur pornographer. Or make up something like that you are President of Canada (yeah, yeah Prime Minister whatever), it could work because nobody in the states knows anything about Canadian politics. Seriously though, you are self supporting and witty and that is success.
