Dangerous Curves Ahead
Do you want to get rid of something in your wardrobe? Do you like free jeans? Are you one of 54% of women who try on an average of 10 pairs of jeans before finding one that fits? Do you like free jeans? If you said yes to any of the above, you should definitely find yourself in NYC’s Bryant Park at 10 am this Friday, August 27th for the Levi’s Wear What Fits event!
Just bring an unwanted garment to the event, and in exchange Levi’s will donate the item to Goodwill and hand you a FREE pair of their new Curve ID jeans. The Wear What Fits event will also feature a live performance by singer Janelle Monáe and a meet and greet with style guide Bobbie Thomas.
Touting Curve ID as a line of custom fit jeans that focus on shape instead of size, Levi’s says the three fits are based on their analysis of over 60,000 3D body scans and 1-on-1 conversations with real women. This entertaining video on their website explains the options:
If your jeans are too tight at the waist – you need the slight curve
If the waist fits but doesn’t flatter - you need the demi curve
If the waist fits but gaps at the back – you need the bold curve
All of these descriptions seem like a thinly-veiled way to ask: how big is your butt??? but we’ll let it go. Free jeans for everyone!

The Wittiest Twitter
In honor of today’s publication of TWITTER WIT: Brilliance in 140 Characters or Less edited by Nick Douglas, we’re excited to announce a video contest offering you a chance to win an iPod touch. It’s pretty darn simple, actually, and a lot of fun (unless you really hate making short videos; in that case it’ll be a nightmare). You just go here, pick your favorite tweet, make a short video, send it to us, and wait on pins and needles. In the meantime, since your video is definitely the best one, we’d suggest making a list of all the great music and apps and videos you’re going to add to the shuffle once you win it. Oh, and you’ll want to browse inside TWITTER WIT too. And buy it.
