I re-imagine them as those really dark jeans... or I have some friends in posession of punky (admittedly jr's department) black-washed jeans that were trendy for a year or so... I'm pretty sure that's not the way to describe them... but... they're black-ish. But with that aged/beaten-to-hell thing done to them. And some sort of clunky/punk/bejewelled/wonky belt thing.

That's what I pretend Laurell's talking about when she says black jeans. It makes it hurt less, but then I end up imagining Anita as a college freshman trying to be vaguely punk.
