Three levels of Getting Rid of Stuff: 1. The sellable (eg eBay) 2. The low value but still useful to somebody (charity) 3. The bin
Very laudable, giving away your expensive stuff like that, but personally I couldn't afford to pass up the dosh!
Wow, those are some fancy coats. Is the black one - he one you had - kind of zippy? It's hard to see the detail and I can't seem to enlarge. Are those sleeves 3/4, or has she just rolled them up? You can see how much I need help with this stuff.
Yeah, olive green leather is somehow very retro and very cool. And I say this as someone who looks dreadful in olive green.
What will you wear your new coat with? And will you finally invest in a cheap phone so you can post a pic of you in it?
oh no, shipping costs on ebay are like 30-40 dollars (canadian, which i guess would be around £16 - £22?) here , so if you're looking to not spend a lot it's not really the way to go!Don't know about there, but here it's usually £3-£4. A bit more if it's shoes. But I'm usually buying from ordinary folk clearing out their wardrobes, not commercial sellers, so maybe that's different. And when you're selling, the buyer pays the postage so it's all profit, apart from the eBay fees which don't amount to that much. It's a bit of a palarva, yes, packing the stuff up and taking it to the post office, but if you do a few things at once you can make a nice tidy sum so it feels worth the effort.
Why are people wearing face masks when they can cause dizziness, lost of consciousness, anemia, hypoxia, lung damage, brain damage, kidney damage, and even death from prolonged use, when any medical student worth his weight knows that coronavirus is the common cold. Any talk of a new strain is pure bullshit, the swine flu virus killed one person after the government said it would kill 10s of thousands in 1976, the same government said Saddam had WMD, we're still waiting for them to be found, that's how scaremongering distracts from trillionaires robbing our coffers, pensions, and why the poor will always be poor, the countryside will always be contaminated and polluted - the real cause of diseases, and why pricks like Boris Johnson get to be fuhrer without being elected by anyone except the deep state.
Yes, she is. The defiance is very beguiling. And a lovely explanation, too. Great title.i have looked long and hard to find again this painting by bernhard prinz. i first saw it at the lentos museum of modern art in linz, austria back in 2008 or something like that. i tried to remember the name of the artist but had forgotten it and when i emailed the linz museum i got no reply. all i knew was what it was called in english "the rat girl" which is not the same as the german "das mausemadchen" and that it was from a series entitled "rebels". the reason why it was so important to me is that immediately upon seeing it i felt a kinship with this girl with her homey sweater and her rustic look and the necklace of mice around her neck and her unflinching gaze. a girl who is not afraid to be herself, not afraid to be unloved, not afraid to wear a string of dead rats around her neck. i had reasons for being in austria that i thought she might understand and i thought too that i could use some of her savagery and boldness. in fact, i thought i might call my memoir "the rat girl" after this painting (which i will explain in my memoir)

isnt she great?!
Just thinking about reincarnation. The possibilities.
Aw, can't we see the kindergarten pic? Or at least the part with Eddy in the plaid (tartan??) dress? Plus, it would be interesting to know, now he is older, what he thought of being made to wear a tartan dress. I think we all have those photos from our younger days which might cause us to look accusingly at our parents and ask, 'Why did you do that to me?'well the black coat has one long zipper down the front and another horiztonal one to the side as you can see. i dont know what that line is in the picture running parallel to the front zipper. it's not another zipper i cant tell you that. the stuff hanging from the zipper is a black fabric rose, which is my favourite thing about it--so romantic! the sleeves are 3/4, yes! and i always wished i had some short little gloves like the ones in the picture that i couldve worn with it. oh why did i give it away?!?!?
oh i dont know what ill wear with it, pep! jeans and a t-shirt?! ahaha. i dont really do outfits. i just become insanely covetous of certain pieces and have to have them and dont even think about what ill wear them with, or if ill wear them at all (which i probably wont if the colour isnt right). the good thing about buying expensive clothes is that, even second hand, they last a long time, and if it's something like marni, which is always sort of doing it's own thing, you dont have to worry about whether it will still be in style or not in ten years, so that if i dont have anything to wear it with now, in the future i might.
haha no, i stilll dont have a phone. cant afford it! i especially cant afford it now--i wasted all my money!! (shit, why did i do it, pep!! i've fallen back into old habits!! but you know, i need something to live for and to distract me from my awful existance...). besides im not sure the folks here deserve a pciture of me. i thought about posting my kindergarten picture only because it has eddy in it looking VERY handsome in a plaid dress (he was allowed in my school picture because everyone understood that me an' eddy are kind of a package deal--plus he went to school there too), but then i thought naaahhhhh... not comfortable!
Blimey. How can it be so expensive? Don't you have the equivalent of our Royal Mail? How much does it cost to send a simple letter? That's extortionate! I'm shocked!oh no, shipping costs on ebay are like 30-40 dollars (canadian, which i guess would be around £16 - £22?) here , so if you're looking to not spend a lot it's not really the way to go!
Twinkle...of Golden Lights fame...singing a duet with her father, a one-time Conservative councillor about ere....smooching from 1975. Bizarre and very English.
This is amazing. Amazing.
