The most expensive jeans and shoes
Jeans have come a long way from their working-class origins.
Jeans are no longer reserved for physical labor or college campuses.
Today's fashionable blue jeans are acceptable at dinner parties, the office, everywhere, except the most formal events.
Jeans can be found in the closets of both billionaires and bikers
However, there can be a big difference in their price tags.
How much of a difference?
A pair of Levi's can be bought for less than $20 at Wal-Mart Stores.
Gucci says "Genius Jeans" are the most expensive jeans in the world.
A pair of Gucci jeans that had been ripped and covered with African beads, were priced at an astonishing $3,134.
Today, there are jeans for more than double that amount.
Levi Strauss & Co. spent $46,532 buying a pair of its own jeans.
The jeans were found in a Nevada mining town and date back to the 1880s.
The company has no plans to resell them, because Levi's says they are priceless and one of a kind.

Haiti Earthquakes 2010
The 2010 Haiti
earthquake was a catastrophic earthquakes. The earthquakes killed over 200,000
people. The reason such high numbers of people were killed however in not the
earthquake it elf, but the fact that so many buildings collapsed, crushing and
trapping in. The reason of crashing and trapping is that technique is expensive
and the poorer countries can’t afford so expensive technique. In Haiti roofs are
often made of heavy concrete which collapses easily, but research has shown
that metal roofs supported on wood are stronger. In Pakistan walls are made from straw.
The straw is firmly pressed into blocks and then held together with plastic
netting. That is on the inside of the wall of course-the outside of walls are
painted and looks completely normal. Many Peru walls are often made from a
kind of brick, which is locally-produced and cheap, but these walls crack and
collapse very easily.
