Here is the transcript of a conversation you had earlier today with model Gigi Hadid:

"Oh," Gigi Hadid says, noticing your new distressed jeans. "Nice jeans."

"Thanks!" you reply, for a compliment from Gigi Hadid is the choicest of compliments. You are satisfied.

Then, Gigi Hadid stands up, revealing distressed jeans that make your distressed jeans look factory-fresh and totally lame. Her jeans are less jeans at all, and instead two very large holes, surrounded by a few swatches of denim.

"Oh," you remark. "I like your jeans."

Alas, your attempt to return the compliment was in vain, because Gigi Hadid was already walking away from you, presumably to hang out with other models wearing giant holes as jeans.

This has been: a conversation you had with Gigi Hadid.
