when you get asked the "is that a new...?" question for how long can you affirm it's really new? something that isn't new for you anymore, could still be new for someone who hasn't seen it yet. and what if it's second hand? I wonder.

new answers please

It's new until the person you're showing it to you has already seen it before.

until the first time you wash/dry-clean it.

unless its outerwear, i guess...

Mark, does that mean that all my clothes are brand new if I'm showing them to you?

Shoes are new until they're all scuffed and dirty. Although some people have the uncanny ability to keep their shoes clean for inordinate amounts of time (years, even!).

Until it is one week old. Then it is old and filthy and not to be worn again.

Until your pen leaks in the pocket, leaving an ugly, permanent stain, to match the food encrusted cuffs, or in other words....tomorrow at 12:15.

seven years pass...

Thought of this with the tv-shows-within-tv-shows thread, but it didn't belong there. Ficticious fashion designer:
