The Seinfeld sitcom was brilliant!

I often find myself in daily situations that remind me of one of their episodes. One of the reasons why it may not have been as popular with non-English speakers is due to its use of made up yet pointed terms that when translated lose their punch (e.g. shrinkage factor, sponge worthy, yada-yada, festivus, double dipping and many more)

That is a very good point. The humour is very verbal… and a super-specific brand of silly!

Zein Obagi products saved my skin, have you tried those? My doctor created a protocol for me and after one week I already saw results.

And in regards to the trousers, I always look at the cost per wear. If it is an item you will wear nearly every day, something you can pair with a big part of your existing wardrobe and if the quality is good, then I would say go for it. Even if it is €900.

And I love this cost per wear barometer idea. Think I’ll be implementing that too.

So true about Seinfeld!! I Always refrain from using a Seinfeld reference although the situation desperately calls for it! And that happens everytime I meet an architect.. or at work, when people look busy, I always think of George and wonder.. It’s so rare to find Seinfeld fans in France that when you do, you bond in a very unique way I find (same with Monty Python actually)!

Monica, can you update on your High Sport pant experience? Did you find them second hand or buy a new pair? I’m curious ☺️

I’ve just discovered Alias May thanks to you! Is it just me or are there a lot of great Aussie brands cropping up at the moment?

Also agree re. Seinfeld. The first few minutes you’re like this is so stupid but then you realise the stupidness is the beauty of it!

I guess that should read stupidity… not stupidness. Freudian ahaha
