Personally, I much prefer soaking in the 80s synth-pop scene over whatever this modern stuff is.
Irene Cara, Kim Wilde, Cyndi Lauper, Belinda Carlisle (Circles in the Sand👍), Soft Cell, Tears for Fears, Culture Club...🙂 It’s all better than today's garbage.

I heard some talk about this at the Sephora counter.
Apparently, lemon oil does the trick.
Just add a few drops to your shampoo.

I’m pretty sure it’s 140.
Who’s opening for them?

All I care about is how the ticket situation plays out... after Metallica, people aren't exactly going to be rushing to buy tickets.😁

Yeah, there are still plenty of people out there who feel the same way😉
That was real music...👍

Jerry Williams8 said:Anyone know what’s actually going on with Skid Row? Specifically regarding Bach—I know he’s got his own reality show running🙄 😉, but what about the rest of the guys?

From what I gather, they reunited around the mid-2000s, but without Bach. I think Johnny Solinger was their singer for a bit. That album they put out didn't exactly get rave reviews from critics. I haven't had much time to listen, so I can't say for sure.

Even Bret Michaels from Poison...
They used to look like rockstars, pure icons. Then a few years back, I saw them in some MTV documentary and it actually gave me chills. Just seeing how much they've changed.

Bret M. is definitely...🙄 ...I caught a few clips of him on VH1 doing an 80s retrospective and he barely spoke. The guy aged. And honestly? Looks like he might have had a few facelifts.😁 ....which wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Despite the whole Napster debacle and everything Metallica did to make themselves public enemy number one... they still make damn good music.

That image hits close to home. I’ve always had a soft spot for Guns N' Roses, Skid Row, and Metallica. I don't care what the critics say—they're all legends to me.👍

Jerry Williams8 said:Is it true he was supposed to replace Weiland in Velvet Revolver?😉

I'd love to hear that cut.😉
What a mess...

I think the band's name is "The Last Hard Men"...

Look, time does its thing eventually.
He was on MTV once... that show where they show you where celebrities live... I can't remember the name... He's aged, his hair is 🙄 ...years, years pass...

Bottom line, Skid Row is one of my favorite bands.

Edward Green said:I just don't get it. How you can be worth six cents more than me and still not be able to afford a pair of jeans is beyond me. 🙂

Besides being a bit taller, I’ve definitely got a different build. Probably means I have a completely different taste in jeans, too.😉

Edward Green said:Honestly, I’m convinced making jeans is just a massive prank played on tall women. They design them for girls with zero hips, and if you actually have curves, you're basically screwed. If they're too short, they're useless. And don't even get me started on that annoying rise—I absolutely loathe when jeans constantly ride up my waist. For me, staying slim enough to just stomp around in them is the only way to survive. 😁

Yeah, length is the issue for me. I’ve got long legs, but they don't lose weight like the legs you see on those models in department store ads. And honestly? If I had to starve myself just to fit into those pants... absolutely not. Not happening. I'm actually out here trying to pack on some muscle, though my body isn't exactly cooperating.
Kenneth Sullivan58: You can shorten those growth numbers if you want. I can’t make them any longer or shorter myself. I actually had to size up in Wit Boy because nothing smaller would even fit. Now that winter's coming, I'm looking at some tweed trousers—they're cozy enough. Hopefully, I'll find some jeans before then, or maybe some linen ones for the summer.🙂.

rustycanyon50 said:Please. You’re definitely not any "tougher" than me if you're carrying that much weight. I honestly didn't think I could squeeze into a size 25 either—my Levi's are usually a 27—but the clerk insisted I'd make it work. Turns out she was right. It was the last pair left, and honestly? The denim is killer.
They were a bit tight around the hips at first. But after a few washes, they stretched out perfectly. Just right now.

Five years ago, I picked up some Gap jeans that I still wear religiously. I saw the tag the other day—size 27—and honestly, I’m horrified. But damn, I love them. A few months back, I bought another pair from Gap, size 29, because I couldn't fit into a 27 or 28 anymore. After leaving them in the closet for a while, I can barely even button them now. To make matters worse, I have a pair of size 30s that fit my waist exactly like those 27s do. I have no idea how to explain it. They're all Gap. It makes zero sense.
Maybe I’m not as built like you, but I’m certain I wouldn’t be caught dead in jeans under a size 29—especially now that I’ve finally put some actual weight on my shins and hips.😁

Edward Green said:You think you’re big? Think again. Let’s talk reality. You want short descriptions for skinny girls? Forget it. Look at me. I’m over 50, pushing maybe an extra two pounds—don't have a scale, but I can feel the difference—and I stand 5'5". Still, I have zero trouble finding jeans that fit. Get real.

Look, height and weight don't mean a damn thing if you don't have the build to fit into a size 25. There’s just no math that makes it work. So what if I've got strong hips and a bit of a curve? It doesn't change the reality. And finding decent jeans is its own special nightmare—finding the right cut or color feels impossible. Most of them are too short, too. I can't stand it when I sit down and the hem jumps up to my knees. Just ridiculous.

Kyle White2 said:Maybe you guys build cities differently.

If he says he’s standing at 25, we clearly aren't living in the same reality.😁
Even if I were God Himself, I wouldn't be interested. And that’s assuming I actually sat down.😉
Got a little bit of Jake Boeve and some trouble on my mind.😁

Kenneth Sullivan58 said:.....these jeans are such a disaster I wouldn't mind if they shamed me, but the cuts....
Who can even wear these things???😲
The cuts are so shallow you practically have to be a skeleton just to pull them on!!!! You need a 15-inch waist just to get them over your hips + legs like a giraffe!!! It’s a total catastrophe!!! And I only weigh 110 lbs
and am 5'3"!😁

Does a "normal" jean cut even exist anymore?? Something low-rise (without being impossibly shallow) in a slight flare. I'm hitting the shops again today, hoping to find something.
In hope there is salvation!!!!

😉

Now you know my struggle. At 5'8" and 115 lbs, I can't find anything even if I try. Everything is designed for runway models who weigh 40 lbs.
I'm also hunting for a "normal" cut—low rise and a slight flare. I found some at Gap, but their largest size was a 26!!!😲
Gap actually makes decent pants, though. I saw similar styles at Mustang, so check there too.

What’s the deal with bands like Skin Yard (Jack Endino), Love Battery, Green River, and My Sister's Machine?😢
Is Blind Melon even Grunge?🤔

Mostly... Alice in Chains are the gold standard.
