BOO HOO!! POOR BABY

Ok, that's what you're all going to say at the end of this post, or perhaps throughout the whole one. But I still have to rant. As everyone who went to my walima would already know (since Farhan & Fariha made it known publicly), I was wearing an Armani suit. Yes. Materialistic, elitist, stupid, showoff, spoiled, you can't tell the difference anyways, etc. etc. etc. So I've always wanted a Hugo Boss and a Giorgio Armani suit. Sue me! (No Hana and all her law buddies who may be reading this: don't take that literally!). Alhumdulillah, this summer there were two big events and so I decided to splurge. Well I they fit really nice, and they felt good wearing them. And yes, I ticked that checkbox on my dhunya "want" list. But after all that...it did not make me anything the better. And to rub salt in my bank account's wounds, my Armani suit was damaged! Yes, again as anyone at my walima would have heard the MC's making fun of me, before Hana and I entered the hall, they tried putting a boutonniere on my lapel. Well, duh, if you try to put a pin through a $2K + suit, it WILL get ruined! (Murphy's Law...blah blah). So I've been meaning to get this thing fixed for the longest time (3.5 months) and today as I had the day off, I decided to take it to "Stitch it" (no not "Stitches" for all you clubber, gino wannabes). Got the lapel fixed. But as I'm looking at the pants, I notice that there's fuzz...and I look closer, the fuzz is part of the pinstripes on the pant material itself! FRIG! It look worn out, and I had only worn it once! What kind of cheap ass material do they make this suit with? Hello! Yes I plan on sitting in them. What? They'll get damaged if you sit with them on? Anyways it probably makes no sense to you, but it REALLY pissed me off! Poetic justice I suppose. You may let out one big BOO HOO at this point.

Bottom line: Anyone who is thinking of buying an expensive suit such as a Boss or Armani, think again. A) No one in the desi community gives a crap. B) No you're not a CEO, nor are you a "high roller" C) You're likely to be getting married in it, and well, you've already got the girl, so if she's already agreed to marry you, chances are the suit won't make a damn difference D) You don't have to put up with the snotty suit dealers - I mean seriously, the guy at Holt gave me his business card...his claim to fame: Armani Collection tailor. Frig, his mom must be proud. D) After all is said and done, and you look back at why you bought the suit, you just ask yourself "what the heck was I thinking?". Ah well...for all those who thought I was sufi...this just destroyed all credibility to your claim. Sorry!

Ok...so now that that's out of my system, I don't feel so bad about the suit anymore. But damn, it sure was a nice suit! LOL
