I saw that! I actually bookmarked one of the sites and was thinking about trying it out! If I do I'll let ya'll know how it goes.
pm - i definitely have this in-betweeny issue too. plus, i feel like gap jeans shrink a lot when drying.
how much do these custom jeans cost? i usually buy my jeans at discount places (filene's basement, tj maxx, marshall's) then get them hemmed and it usually ends up <$100...i would hate to pay more!
hi june! i usually get the anthropologie catalogs. i haven't seen a new one yet though. anything good?? that store kills me. it costs so much, and i love it all.

hi jun. 
i know this question has been asked before, but i'm going to put it out there again. is it silly for me to own so many stams? i have no problem buying the same bag in multiple colors. the mp really works for me, so if there were a way for me to own it in every color in existence, i'd do it. the stam, as beautiful and iconic as it is, is not an everyday bag for me. it's rather heavy and not very comfortable to use. i love them and it makes me happy to own them, but i don't want to get into a rut of buying the same style because it comes in these amazing designs and end up not using them because they don't necessarily fit in with my lifestyle. i like being a collector, but i don't want this "hobby" of mine to get out of hand. thoughts?
on another note, where has b been today?

Tad - I say if you think you have too many, then you probably do. I know that I am guilty of having more bags than I need & I start to feel guilty because I have bags I don't carry b/c they don't work for me. I don't like to feel guilty when I look at a bag, so I sell it & quite honestly, feel much better. I've got a few that gotta go, but I need to wait for the 'bay to bounce back....
let's just say i can't remember the last time i used a stam. hmm... maybe three weeks ago? a month? to be fair, there are many bags i don't use often if at all. i used my mika once and i've yet to carry my navy venetia. i have three stams and counting...
June, Just keep signing up, they are super slow at that company

Kim, the Stam is probably my favorite handbag of all time. Sometimes I feel silly that I love it so much since its so eccentric and dramatic. I think, why don't I love other bags as much? Why am I not content with simpler designs? So really I would probably be one of the first people to tell you that there is no such thing as too many stams. In theory I guess I do believe that, BUT I also agree that with all the interesting and beautful versions MJ has been cranking out it is possible to let the stam portion of your collection get our of controle. In fact, I've tried very hard to keep the # of stam I have low because if I were not dilligent about it, ALL I would have is stams. Personally I'm comfortable with just my 2 which are very different. If I were to get another it would have to be unique from its sisters.
If you are uncomforatble with the number maybe its time to let go of one that is no longer working for you?
Ouch, that hurt to say. . .

that's the thing, space. when i think about parting with one of them, it hurts.
mj came out with such amazing variations this season, so all my stams technically look different: the classic quilted berry, the fuchsia python-trimmed smooth stam, the sunburst in pale lavender, and the new one, which is different from the rest too. perhaps that's how i'm justifying keeping them all to myself... although the newest one is in the same color family as the python and quilted stams. uh oh.

No, no, same color family, but TOTALLY different

spacey i totally agree with you! the stam is my favorite bag too. i think i need another...
Looks like I won't be getting a merlot e/w tote anymore.I've been talking to the seller since it was listed. After making my first offer, she told me someone else offered her more. Then the seller offered to sell it to me for the same price ("to be fair") since I contacted her first. After I accepted, she said another person offered her $100 more and has to sell to them since they were the highest bidder (even though they didn't meet the reserve) BUT would relist and let us bid for it if I wanted. No thanks!
I also found out that the large number of layoffs that were announced before the holidays will be starting in a few weeks.
ush:how's everyone else's day going?
