What the hell is up with buying clothes?

Okay so I'm planning on going out to San Francisco for a little vacation over MLK weekend and I figure I'll call up one of my friends to see what all I should bring with. To start off, I ask about the weather during that time of to plan accordingly since I've never been to SF for an extended amount of time. She tells me jeans and whatever I normally wear will be fine. Fine, I think I'm all set. But then she tells me since we're going clubbing that I may want to invest in some nice jeans. Now I realize that my everyday jeans I wear to my favorite dive bars probably aren't going to cut it at some trendy nightclub. Furthermore I realize that I'm going to have to drop some serious bank on some new clothes so I won't embarrass my friend. That's all well and good since I'm a believer in the whole "when in Rome" BS. What I do have issue is the fact that why can't there be a universal sizing system. Not to sound like a girl, but I went up THREE freakin' pant sizes people!! I mean I seriously understand how girls can get depressed and develop eating disorders over a simple shopping trip!! I swear the whole fashion industry is solely to blame on the insecurities of today's youth. Of course I'm sure they're in racket with the whole self-improvement industry. I can see it now, the design team over at Seven calls up LA Fitness and says, "Hey Bob, we're getting overstocked on these smaller size jeans these days, how's about we conspire to change the sizing numbers again and you'll have a whole new influx of gym memberships!!"

Rat bastards, I hope they all burn in hell. Oh and here's to Neiman Marcus, Seven, and Paper Denim & Cloth for deciding to charge me over $150 for worn out and frayed jeans so I can fit it on my trip to SF. I swear to god if I don't get some action on this trip, I'm walking into their corporate offices and demanding a refund...or a call girl at least.
