    Saying vaccines are toxic because there is mercury in them is like saying water is flammable because it has hydrogen in it. A chemical compound does not necessarily have the same chemical properties as it's elemental components.

    I mean, so long as they're not misrepresenting anything, I dont think it's a bad idea. It also depends on what your selling. If the photoshoot is for a makeup company, maybe photograph the makeup? But if it's for clothes, what does it matter if the makeup is painted on before the shoot or done in post?

    models could probably show up to photoshoots and been photographed without makeup now. Just do all that shit in post!

    yeah, I have no idea what any of those things you named are.

    The person that makes the most sad about being a scientologist is Chick Corea

    dont know what that is.

    and the other one people havent heard of (I have no idea who that Erika person is)

    yeah, I was thinking our HM's are pretty tidy (also Toronto). Chalk it up to Canadian politeness not wanting to mess up the displays. I actually refold something if im putting it back.

    the independence is a littoral ship and would likely not engage the Chinese navy unless they attacked. :)

    you get jeans that fade like this

    Pardon me if this is shit you already know, Im not sure if youre a raw denim noobie or if you know your way already so this may sound condescending.

    The weight of the denim is the physical weight of the fabric per square yard. This translates to thickness in jeans. This doesnt necessarily mean they're more rigid or…

    then you shouldnt have too much of a problem. Just give a little tug on the inseams while they're still damp.

    I would recommend just cuffing your jeans rather than hemming them. If you wash them too early, then you wont get "sick fadez"

    Doesn't really work, but you usually put in in a plastic bag first.

    depends if they're sanforized or not. Generally it's only the Japanese brands that don't sanforize their jeans.

    If they're sanforized, they wont shrink much if you wash in cold water and air dry. You can also get back any lost length by tugging on the inseams while they're still damp.

    Unsanforized jeans can shrink up to…

    yeah, I just don't have vinegar very often. Dont know why.

    Non-Japanese brands (modern fits) are:
    Nudies (Sweden)
    APC (France)
    Naked and Famous (Canada)
    3Sixteen (USA)
    Edwin (USA)
    Tellason (dont know where they're from, probably USA)
    Diesel, Levi's, Dior Homme have a few raw selvedge pairs.

    The SERIOUS brands are Japanese, though they often have more classic (loose fit, high waist)…

    I didnt actually read your text, so I wasnt judging you.

    I waited longer than I normally would have because the denim was unsanforized meaning they will shrink a fair bit (I did a presoak while wearing them), and they already fit really snug. Usually I aim for 9 months, but it depends on how the fades are coming. But…

    Premium raw denim is typically made from heavier fabrics that start out stiff as cardboard. As you wear them they do change shape a little but not nearly to the extent that a normal pair of washed denim.

    We don't *never* wash our jeans. We just hold off on the first wash as long as we can bear it. The longest I went was 15 months. But after that initial wash you can wash them as often as once a month without much change.

    Actually, Levi's makes some VERY nice pairs at a reasonable price point. If someone doesnt want to spend more than $100 on a pair of nice raw, selvedge denim, I tell them to buy raw Levi's, or Unbranded.

    Levi's and Lee from the 50's is what all the crazy Japanese brands are trying to replicate. Some even got sued for…
