BTW it's a Dalida song:


Comme des garçons is apparently from lyrics taken from this:


Considering the idea of the brand it is possible that Rei is misremembering and it was from this one. It would make waaayyyy more sense as it is about dressing like the boys and acting more assertively while the former is about having never known love:

I knew about the latter, but nothing at al about the former. I guess you really do learn something new every day?

I thought we did not accent capitalized letters in French, unless the entire sentence is all caps? I would write it " A Ma Manière " (One typo only 😉)
We used not to -when you and I were both in primary and secondary school- but now we do, even those senile reactionary dullards in l'Académie française now say that's the way to go. Now I still make the mistake of writing "clé" "clef" but, well, language evolves.

I thought this EA stuff was just an urban legend or something. But today it happened to me.

Now I just need to figure out whether to keep these or the Fire reds from last year...

I got early access and submitted an order, but was told that I'm in line. Then, SNKRS notified me that I missed out.

Ok, but do you know anything about what I asked about? What are the mechanics behind EA?

Hopefully you'll get a W when the shoe drops "for real".
