Be warned, I'm going to be selling off more stuff

I found more shoes to sell off (including some new-in-box duplicates of certain pairs I love, but realized I don't need spares of), plus jackets and hats. I just need to find time to take pictures.

Also, why obsessive keyword searching eBay is useful:



What you can't make out in that photo is that the black stripes are edged with narrow pink stripes. Yes, the blazer came that way. It's by some British designer named Ben Sherman. I've never heard of him before, but look! He made me a blazer. How very helpful of him!

Tonight, doing some minor fit alterations to the new stripy blazer, and watching more of S2 Dexter. Have I mentioned I really really hate Lila? She's the perfect example of a certain sort of Psycho Chick I've run into in my past. Really, really hate. I have high hopes for her dying. (DO NOT TELL ME. I WILL FIND OUT, WE ARE ALMOST DONE WATCHING THIS SEASON ON DVD.)

any chance you need salt? Also, any chance those shoes you are sending away would fit me?

you've really never heard of ben sherman?

Nope. Should I look for more of his stuff?

I'm with you on the Lila hate. I can't remember the last time I so loathed a fictional character. The writers and the actress did a tremendous job of making me absolutely bugnuts about it.

The season 2 suspense just about killed me. I am eagerly awaiting season 3 on DVD.

Same here.

The writers and actress did a phenomenal job with that character. Of course, my loathing was amplified by knowing a couple of low-rent versions of her in the past.

Oh yes, Lila is TERRIBLE. Dexter the show rocks!

LOVE Dexter :D

a) The blazer is close to divine.

b) Lila is WRETCHED and I HATE her.

WANT more shoes, and the boots I just bought from you fit perfectly, so am looking forward to pictures.

What size are you again shoewise? I just found out what sizes I actually am, and may possibly be interested. (ssh - I've been dressing up slightly at work.)

[identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com 2009-04-30 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
I've got stuff that are 8.5 - 9.

Heyyyy wait. Didn't I at one point hand a pair of size 7 or 8 bat shoes to you? Are they too big for you?

[identity profile] bork.livejournal.com 2009-04-30 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
They...got lost about 4 or 5 moves ago. Or they're in storage. Sorry. They did fit well, however.

Apparently, in the fascinating land of women's shoes, I'm a size 6-6.5.

[identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com 2009-04-30 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, no big deal. I just couldn't remember what size those particular ones were.

I have no shoes tiny enough for you. But yay that you're dressing up a bit for work!

[identity profile] bork.livejournal.com 2009-04-30 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

Now that I have the health and stamina to care for more than the basics, I intend to do just that. Some of my coworkers are jaded old heshers who are trying to relive their glory days of high school by wearing the same Slayer shirt every day, and then constantly bitch about how horrible their life is now. (Without doing anything to change that, of course - that would take time, effort and a spine.) I don't want to become like them. Dressing in a cute shirt helps with that in my little brain.

Also, I'm finding cute things at Goodwill Outlet, of all places. The shirts work out pricewise to be less than a dollar each, so I bought a bunch and I'm trying them out. Today's shirt is advertising something incomprehensible in French. Tomorrow, I'm thinking of wearing my sparkly San Francisco cowboy t-shirt that features horses.

Seriously. Goodwill Outlet is the best thing ever. Just bring your own rubber gloves.

I'm a 5.5/6--I'll see if I've got anything you might be able to give a home to.

[identity profile] bork.livejournal.com 2009-04-30 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
cool! Now, I have wide feet, also keep that in mind. And, anything you give me will probably be killed, as I still drag my toes a lot.

Lila is not made of chocolate (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/4/29/).

Dexter is amazing and Lila is just crazy. She simply drives me nuts!

The jacket is beautiful.

More things!!!! How exciting! Both pairs of shoes from you fit perfectly and I've already worn them this week. I can tell I'm going to love them.

I am with you on the Dexter love. Also the love of combining black and pink.

I wish I wore your size. *sigh* You have awesome stuff.
