I soo wish that an LA [or really anywhere in cali] would have a Born To Fit party. I'm hearing about them all, but they are all so far away! Jealous.

liferehab said...

It looks like you had an amazing party. I'm loving the real skinny jeans. I can't wait until my credit recovers and I can buy a pair!

Kelly and José said...

Kelly

LiLu said...

If no one took a shot at you, I'd say that party was a success.

GETTIT?

court said...

You're welcome, my dear! Anything for delicious food and sweet jeans (went with the Always Skinny...LOVE THEM)! Thank you so much for inviting me! You RULE, and so does the GAP and Brand About Town!

Kelly - nice chatting with you about jeans! One of my fav topics!

court said...

Oh, and nice editing on the vid, I think you missed your calling! Or maybe a trade to add to your many!

SoMi's Nilsa said...

What fun! I always assume you throw great parties - the free giveaways had to be the icing on the cake!!

Mandy said...

Your party looks like it was tons of fun! New jeans, drinks, food, great company -- what more does a party need?

Bethie said...

I want jeans! Do I have to start blogging again to have a party??

teen said...

So sad I missed your party it looked like a lot of fun...maybe I can get me a pair of those jeans :)

f.B said...

These GAP parties are everywhere. Awesome marketing.

Sara Lang said...

I love GAP jeans, I just wish they weren't so expensive!

Julie Q said...

fabulous party recap!! I attended one last week- what an awesome idea :)

jalant said...

You are quite the party throwing, awesome turn out!! And the born to fit's are a dream come true!! They have revamped my love for GAP!! Cute video! :)

Cortney said...

Every girl needs a great fitting pair of jeans! (This girl is in grave need1!) ;0) Looks like you girls had a blast. Looking forward to more FLIP videos!

Dave said...

Love the flip video camera, so easy to use and nice & small so it's easy to take any where. I can only imagine the footage you'll get with it on your next bike riding bar crawl...

Salut! chou chou said...

It's funny that you're mentioning GAP. I was in Toronto yesterday and I walked by their display and they seem to really be breathing new life into their line. I love the guest designer t-shirts they have out right now not to mention their denim.

You gals looked like you had an amazing time!

peterdewolf said...

I think your Flip HD has sexier editing software than my Flip Ultra.

Jealous.

Dmbosstone said...

These parties have hit DC by storm- and it looks like they are doing good over in Cleveland too!

SomewhatVoluble said...

I could use a great pair of jeans. ;)

lbluca77 said...

How fun! I really need some new jeans too.

Spin Doctor said...

Wish I could have been there! GAP jeans make my butt look good and my legs look long.

e said...

i love GAP...they have the best long jeans.
i'd love a pair!

miss. chief said...

wow, all your friends are friggin' super models, haha
looks like a fun party.
i am in dire need of new jeans!!

poo poo said...

I would like some jeans and a lettuce wrap but I will settle for your company this coming week!

Idea #527 said...

I am jealous!!! That sounds like a blast! I LOVE GAP jeans. I was sort of a GAP whore for awhile. . . and in recent years ventured out, but always go with my standard there!

Always a Bridesmaid said...

So sad I missed the party, sweets. :(

P.S. thank goodness, sort of. I would have felt like the Hunchback of Notre Dame next to your tall skinny friends.

Beach Bum said...

Oh, yay, I like free jeans!

Deutlich said...

Dude. I still can't believe that the jeans @ Maxie's GAP party actually FIT me

I mean.

Seriously.

Lemmonex said...

These parties are sweeping the nation. Go GAP. They actually look good.

Lindsay said...

I desperately need new jeans! This is such a great idea.

Maxie said...

i wish you could have come to my party. it was mega cool.

p.s. i want the jeans. i am greedy.

brookem said...

these parties are the best, seriously!

ShannonZ said...

so sad the Gap is gone from our mall :( love your party vid and am dying to fall into a new pair of Gap denim!

Ms. Salti said...

Looks like you girls had a great time. I'm jealous of your camcorder... pretty cool, missy!

t-bone said...

Natalie said...

Lily said...

Bring on the jeans!

And trust me, if Gap can make a pair of jeans that fit my birth-hippin, junk-in-the-trunk-havin body, I'll be in their debt forever.

Ryan said...

Hey! My band and I are playing an acoustic set at the GAP Hudson Store on August 20th for their Born to Fit event!!! You should come see us! 7 to 9 PM

Narm said...

Did you play "In Those Jeans" on repeat the entire time.

PS - Unimpressed you are missing Who's Bad.

amindinmotown said...

Niiiiice. I'm hoping to dive into this Brand About Town thing soon ... if they pick me, of course. Keep your fingers crossed for me please.

And jeans? Can I leave a few more comments? Ha.

Party Tard said...

Holy posts!

I'm just really jealous that Edward Cullen took time out of his busy schedule to join the party!

BridgetteJones said...

The party looks great! I LOVE Gap jeans, and have only worn Gap denim for a few years now! Nothing else fits my weird hips-ass-thigh ratio like Gap!

kage said...

Since I followed your lead and cut up a credit card, I could really use the free jeans..haha!

Hillary said...

So I have a question for you, oh guru of denim. I have a large-ish (okay fine, it's just large. I add the "ish" for my ego) bum and wide hips. I'm not huge, but I definitely could be considered pear-shaped. My question is this: can I wear skinny jeans? I mean, I KNOW I can wear whatever I want but I don't want to be walking around emphasizing my large behind. I guess my real question is: does the Gap make skinny jeans for non-skinny gals?

Jill Pilgrim said...

I want some jeans, yo!!! Pick me!!! Also, why are you not in the video? Alexa, how am I supposed to adequately stalk you, if I can't keep up-to-date on your daily looks? Hmm?

BrazenBareToe said...

What a great party! And how thoughtful of RPatz to stop by and chat with you ladies and indulge in GAP related products!

Anonymous said...

You have got to be kidding me!!! Why was I on vacation???? I need some new jeans!!
Hatch

PorkStar said...

Is this exclusive for women? Cause im definitely looking for some jeans and the Gap around here is quite expensive. : )

Lindsey said...

Thanks for inviting me to your awesome GAP party. Maybe I need to get a plum shirt to go with my new jeans. After the baby comes of course!!

Also...for all the girls that got the skinny jeans... check out this link.

Moonjava said...

That's so awesome! Looks like everyone is having these GAP parties!

I would love a new pair of jeans! Thanks!

Suburban Sweetheart said...

Shit. Small world. I know Lauren. Our moms were besties when we were little - we went to the swimming pool together all the time! So freaking weird. Brb while I go write on her Facebook wall and tell her I just saw her cameo on Cleveland's a Plum.

Bayjb said...

Your party looks awesome. Mine will be so ghetto in comparison. And why would I hate you? Did you try to steal my man?

Taylor said...

For some reason that Edward Cullen thing made me laugh really hard.

Mr. Condescending said...

For a girls thing, it looked fun!

Andy said...

Is Edward a straight leg or loose kind of guy?

Rosemarie said...

What a fun party! I would love to win a new pair of jeans. I really loved the gap essential jean, which they discontinued, so I'm hoping to love the new fits just as much!

I love Gap jeans. They seem to be the only jeans that fit well and are still affordable.

I'm a former Gap girl too -- 3 years in college. I still find myself absentmindedly folding sweaters when I am shopping there...

And who couldn't use another pair of Gap jeans?

Mary said...

All 3 styles look fab! I'll have to check them out!

Elizabeth said...

I've been wanting a Flip camera--did you find your easy to use?

It looks like you threw quite a party!

Andhari said...

Love the skinny jeans. And I certainly like the way you threw a party!:)

Tia said...

What a fun party! I reallly need some new jeans - especially now that I can wear them to work!

EP said...

Gah. How awesome! I want to live in a larger city to be able to participate in something like this! Loves it!

What kind of jeans worked best on you?

Shel said...

Ah, the memories..I lived in Gap flare bottom jeans in high school.

Haven't had a pair in years but if I recall, they generously fit the female figure very flatteringly.

Mel said...

Very, very cool!! Skinnies look totally cute.

Chinye said...

Hi there! First off let me say how much I love this site for all the wonderful information you provide!

When you first mentioned you were chosen to be a gab brand enthusiast I immediately got excited because I wouldn't wait for the honest and thoughtful reflections you would give of their products, and you really delivered!

I am leaving this comment to be considered for a Gap card for a pair of jeans. I am interested in the Real straight because of the wash (beautiful dark denim that I can wear during the day or jazz it up at night) and because of the fit. I'm a typical lady with curves and these jeans look like they would complement my shape. Thanks so much for the post and your consideration!

Amy G said...

pick me. i'll buy you alcohol.

katelyn said...

who can pass up a chance to win free jeans? not me!

Christina K said...

Look at all the free schizz you're giving away this week!

Kate said...

I only wear Gap Jeans. Shopping there helps me avoid pity parties in the dressing room...Plus, I only have two wearable pairs of jeans (both from the Gap)left in my wardrobe so winning this would be incredibly helpful.

heisschic said...

i always find out about these parties after the fact. boo. i'm in cleveland, yo, the shipping fees would be minimal! hell if i get picked, let me know and i'll pick up the jeans.

ha one more day til friday... in survival mode over here.

Wonderful said...

I heart the Gap & free stuff.

Kerry said...

I am officially obsessed with this line. Yesterday I bought the Always Skinny and Curvy in a trouser cut. Every pair I tried on fit like a glove but unfortunately my bank account won't allow me to buy them all. Hope I get a free pair!

Zahra said...

I love the skinny and real straight jeans! Love fall shopping :)

Elizabeth said...

A new Mom needs jeans, right?

The Modern Gal said...

Vanessa said...

Please pick me! I was interviewed by Justine, but didn't quite fit what they were looking for in a Brand Enthusiast. I love the new jeans but just can't afford them right now.

Susan said...

ps, saw your tweet about Shaq Vs last night and totally agree!

Awesome contest. I wish Gap would have one of these parties in St. Louis...
