Where Did They Go?

I bought the most amazing pair of Mossimo jeans at Target: the stretchy-denim, sand-blasted, comfortable, any-time kind of jeans. Well, I wore them out one night and ended up at a drunken party at a friend's house in which we decided to paint her basement. Needless to say, my jeans were covered in white paint afterwards. In an effort to save them, I used everything from Shout to bleach to paint thinner. I got most of the paint out, but the paint thinner left dark splotches all over my jeans, and after all of that there's still a stubborn little white spot of paint.

However, these jeans are comparable to an 'A' in psych. class. So, despite their stains, I continued wearing them.

Recently, the inseam began splitting, so I decided, "Hey, maybe it's time for another pair." Pocketing about $50, I headed to Target to find another pair.

I looked high and low; I searched near and far...

I tried on 20 pairs; I tried on three different sizes...

Nothing.

Of course, I continue to wear my stained, ripped jeans in the hopes of finding another pair like them one day, but my mind cannot quit wondering: WHY DID THEY QUIT MAKING THEM?

Alright, so I checked. And, unfortunately... they truly are not made anymore.

And, I just checked Target.com I think I may have found them, but I'm not at home and don't have them on, so I'm not absolutely sure.

Oh, and in the intro of the link, it's supposed to say "bottom half," not "bottom." Why did that get cut-out in editing?

Well?
