Skinny Skinny

Do you wear skinny jeans or are you ready for the next fad?  Is there such thing as too skinny?  Be honest, after seeing this advertisement online or on television, would you have gone to American Eagle's website to look at their limited time only skinny skinny jeans?  Is this effective marketing for AE?  Would you wear spray painted "jeans" if you could?

I don't wear skinny jeans. There is a thing as to skinny. I would not have gone to their website. It is effective marketing. I would not spray jeans on myself.

No I am fine with normal jeans. They can be too skinny. I actually like being able to breath when I am going through the day. I wouldn't have gone to their site. I would not wear spray painted jeans.

I would not wear skinny jeans, and I personally don't care about the next fad. Personally, there is such a thing as too skinny. But then again, I don't know anyone that's too skinny. Honestly, after that advertisement, I never want to visit AE again. Nor would I go to their website. However, this marketing would probably be effective, but I would not wear the jeans.

I do not wear skinny jeans, my legs are a bit too big for that. There is such a thing as too skinny. I would have gone to the website to see if it was for real or not. I think I would want to see it for myself. I wouldn't even think about wearing spray painted "jeans". I think it is odd and a little too revealing.

I will stick with my Old Navy jeans. I hate skinny jeans. If you are over a certain weight or your legs are big than skinny jeans are not for you. There is a such thing as too skinny but some girls and boys at this school don't realize that! I do not shop at American Eagle. The 'jeans" are kinda nasty and unattractive.

No, I do not wear skinny jeans but I don't have anything against them. No, I wouldn't because I really don't like wearing them. No, it really wasn't that effective but the spray painted jeans would be kind of cool. If I could wear spray painted jeans I think I would.

I do wear skinny jeans because they fit better than most normal jeans. There is such a thing as too skinny. I definitely wouldn't have gone to the site to purchase skinny skinny jeans. I still don't really understand American Eagle's reasoning behind their "skinny skinny" jeans. I would not wear spray painted jeans if I could.

I do wear skinny jeans most of the time, but there is definitely a thing as too skinny. I probably would go look on American Eagle's website to see their new jeans. I love American Eagle jeans, so after seeing any type of American Eagle ad I will go to their website. This ad is effective in a way; it is getting people to go on American Eagle's website. There is no way I would ever wear "spray-on" jeans.

I don't wear skinny jeans, and fads are overrated.

I do wear skinny jeans but not all the time. There is such thing as too skinny as you can see in this video. I would not have gone to American Eagle's website just to look at the skinny skinny jeans because I have no interest in buying them. I would never wear spray painted jeans, they look terrible.

I love skinny jeans! There is such thing as too skinny and only some people can pull them off. I probably wouldn't take time out of my day to go to the website because i'm not a big fan of online shopping. I wouldn't wear painted jeans if I could,

Emma Grace Donovan said...

Eww! There is definitely such thing as tooooooooo skinny. Some people already wear jeans that look like they are painted onto them, But now they really sell spray paint for jeans. I would never buy this! The schools would definitely have issues with dress code!!! Hahaha.

I don't wear skinny jeans, and fads are overrated. There is definitely a thing as too skinny. I just saw it. No, I would not go to American Eagle to look at those jeans. The ad is effective because it gets people interested. I would not wear spray painted jeans.

I wear skinny jeans sometimes; however, they aren't my favorite. I also don't wear my jeans skin tight - gotta have some breathing room! I can't stand it when guys, or girls, wear jeans that pretty much cut their circulation off. I wouldn't go to the website after seeing this ad because my parents would never let me wear pants like that!

Skinny jeans aren't for everyone. I wear skinny jeans sometimes but mostly I stick with straight legs. Those spray on jeans are just pure ugly!

It is time for the next fad! There definitely is such thing as too skinny. Although I wear skinny jeans, AE took it to the extreme. Because the advertisement is so bizarre, I would have went to American Eagle's website to see if I was being fooled. I would never wear spray painted "jeans." American Eagle seems to be begging for attention with the new skinny skinny "jeans." Some people need to remember to keep it classy and not trashy.

This is just stupid. This right here is proof that American Eagle has officially run out of ideas. Why would you waste money and time on something like this? Also, who would be the idiot to buy this stuff? the only impressive thing about this is how real they look. I would however enjoy it if girls wore these.

I could never wear skinny jeans. Yes there is a thing as too skinny. No, I wouldn't go and look for this. I don't even wear American Eagle, I wear handme downs. I could not wear spray painted jeans.

Holly Watson said...

I never would have bought them. When I first saw the advertisement, I was thinking good God those jeans are too tight. I was like ewwww. I don't know if it is an effective marketing for AE, but it is a good way to warn the world to not wear jeans that are too tight. I can't believe that people believed that this was real. I never seen a guy wear jeans that look that tight. I wounder what AE is going to come up with next.

Kellie Matthews said...

I wouldn't wear those jeans even if they were real. I don't really know if I would go to the website or not. I might have gone just to see if they were real or not. I honestly think that it was a good marketing idea.

I wear skinny jeans but I wouldn't wear the skinny jeans. Yes, its too skinny when we can see the print of EVERYTHING! No. I wouldn't there wear them.

Breanna said...

I wear both skinny and other types of jeans. I think there is such a thing as to skinny, but some people really need really skinny jeans like my cousin who is like a tooth pick. I wouldn't have gone to there website because I wouldn't wear these but I would probably tell my cousin. I think it was a smart idea because post people would go to the website to see them and then start shopping for other things and looking at their website. I would not wear spray painted skinny jeans even if I could.

I do wear skinny jeans. There are some skinny jeans that are too skinny. I wouldn't have gone to the website because it looked so stupid and ridiculous. Why would anyone want to look at spray on jeans. I would never buy them.

I do wear skinny jeans but not ones that cut the circulation off my legs. There is such thing as too skinny. I would not have went and looked because if her butt looked like that in those "jeans" that I dont even want to see mine in some. I would say this could be affective because it does grab peoples attention. I would never ever be caught in skinny skinny jeans.
