I like to watch the news on <strong>MSNBC<\/strong> for hours on end, without moving except to scroll through Instagram, clicking like a lab rat, heart heart heart. Last night I stayed up watching TV til 5:am, just to hear more outrage about our beloved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/02\/21\/us\/politics\/mueller-report-ending.html\">leader<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But now the sight of these jeans has cleared the cobwebs away, so to speak. I once knew a woman who said she needed to &#8220;get laid&#8221; every so often just to clear the cobwebs away. Isn&#8217;t that awful? No wonder I can&#8217;t remember her name. But I remember when she said it. It was an instant deal-breaker.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, behold. These &#8220;Tulle-trim crystal-embellished straight-leg jeans&#8221; by <strong>Germanier<\/strong> are $764 but already sold out in my size. Shit.
