Since we know WE slash YOU can’t afford the Balmain pair. . .
Here are some pretty good look-alikes from dondadonnne: Madewell! These come out next season (after we will all be over the distressed look), but if you are sneaky–you can snag a pair at $25 cheaper on April 2nd from 7-9 pm at their “Denim After Dark” event (while they are still “cool”). Stop by 486 Broadway at the corner of Broome Street in Soho to buy a pair of better-than-a&f-rippedup jeans for yourself. They will even hem them for all you shortys–and do any special embroidery your summer heart might desire.
DIY: how NOT to shotgun a PBR.
After 4 years of college in Vermont and plenty of PBR’s drank, one would think a girl like me would withhold the ability to successfully shotgun a cold one–specially since I am always the first one to suggest, “Lets shotgun some beers!” Nonetheless, it is fairly evident that I have not one clue. Let these pictures display the mess CrystalBeth and I created after thinking we were hotshots racing to see who could finish a Pabst first. I’m fairly sure the sink got the most beer out of all of us.
Step 1: Use a key or anything sharp to puncture a hole near the bottom of the Pabst Blue Ribbon can. Make sure to press it right through the seam as this is definitely the easiest place to poke a hole…not.
Step 2: Try again….with more force this time.
Step 3: While popping open the tab and sucking down the brew, make sure to hold the can parallel to the floor. Therefore, half the beer will spill all over your gear and your face. This creates the illusion that you actually are badass for thinking…err portraying…the fact that “you’re a girl in a sequin vest that can shot gun a beer.”
Step 4: Spill out the last fourth of the beer into the sink before your competition while yelling the key words, “I win.”
Step 5: Exaggerate how much beer you just drank by letting out a serious belch and smiling for the camera. 
xo’z,
