Finally got the motivation to grab my camera and light to take a self portrait. The IHSH-348-GRN definitely added the color I was looking for. Yes, it's summer. Yes, the A/C was on

The long hair is gone. Quickly got my camera and light for this.

This was accidental. A result of bad judgement. I was supposed to get my hair cut to shoulder length. And the initial cut was good!

Then I thought I could go shorter. That was a big mistake. I couldn’t walk out into public looking like a Polly Pocket figure. So pre-pandemic haircut it is!

Had issues with uploading raw proof. But got an email stating that they did get my submission (apparently 4 of them) and am good to go.

That being said... My competition denim.

Had to break this out from the archives.
xx-010 Purple Face denim. Got it in 2016 and have worn it sparingly. Now that I'm rotating through denim, it's getting its chance to shine.

I'd love to see a phone case pouch using 21oz denim.

I currently have this lovely pouch from Momotaro Denim and it's getting somewhat close to end of life. Maybe something close to this?

My turn to post my pics (finally). I'm not placing, but here's to hoping for a spot prize or something :p

The info and the pics!!

I'll re-upload when the parsing issues get resolved.

Edit: Resolved!!!

This is what I get for browsing the outlet . Sometimes you can escape unscathed. Other times... This

Between seeing japanalogue's posts on Instagram and @roxrocks86's nudging, I finally pulled the trigger.

It definitely got my attention when it was first released. I just couldn't at the time. But the more I saw it, the more I couldn't escape!

Can't wait to break it in while I can, before it really gets hot.

Didn't hurt that I had Mikey's patches stacked either!

@Davids_denim said in Indigo Invitational Y5:

@denim-dawg guaranteed top 5. No doubt in my mind.

I second this.

@GTPowers You're not the first and you won't be the last.

I had to wash my Y4 pair a few weeks in because of exposure to poo.

That pair is definitely coming along well!

@GTPowers happens to the best of us

Updated my phone (12 pro max) and my watch (series 7). Definitely enjoying my phone but the transitions and animations makes it show its age slightly.

Probably waiting until next weekend or until a .1 update to update my laptop.

I found a minor issue. Not sure if it's known, but the filter on the bags page isn't detecting the Porter - Yoshida & Co. bags. (me and my window shopping)

Filter selected, but displaying no results.

But they're in stock

@deadendpro "four letters... one word... stop!"

Same. Glad this thread exists.
The Bloodline storyline was what brought me back.

And now, as of the date of this post, AJ Lee has made her return :p

@Mister_Brue Thank you! I have high hopes for this denim.

Wild that this pair is competing.
