Fashion giraffe
Ooooh, the fashion giraffe was a bad bad giraffe. Remember kids, just because it's cheap does not mean it's a good purchase. I looked remarkably unfortunate in the sweater, it clung too much, and rode up in funny places. How can a size 20/22 sweater be too tight on size 16/18 me? That's WRONG. It made me look both short and lumpy, and a bit bumpy I may be, but short I am not!
Then grumpy sarcastic man at the market refused to take it back apart from for another sweater. Um, no. So the giraffe must be sold on E-bay. Does anyone have any tips for how to get the best out of E-bay?
A lovely treat this morning, as the perfumes I ordered through skorpionuk arrived, so I am wearing Dee, which is apparently: soft English leather, rosewood and tonka with a hint of incense, parchment and soft woods. By soft, I think they mean sweet, as the rosewood and the tonka are a little strong for me. I can smell the leather, and I like the incense, and the hint of dirtyness, but for me this would have been better less sweet. I'll see what the boards have to say about it. As it's drying it smells more like pipesmoke, which I do love, maybe that's the tonka combined with the "soft woods". There seems to be some spice in there, but the tonka is really overpowering. Hmmm, considering. Think I would really like this worn over my Bloo moisturiser, as the patchouli and vetiver in that would balance the sweetness. My skin seems to make everything sweeter and more creamy than it would be in the bottle.
The weekend was glorious, thanks to nurse_liz and the rest of the Wheel for fabulous fun. Particularly to dr_wez for dinner. Stu got carded coming into the Pit & Pendulum. He's THIRTY and they wanted to check he was old enough to come into a bar. I got told I was "too casual, darlin'" when going into Browns. What they actually meant, I think, was "too big booted and blue haired" and not fake tanned enough. I am gobsmacked that they let puddingcat and Mup in with no problem, but I was "too Rock City". It was hilarious, as I feel like I am always in the running for the "most responsible drinker at any pub or party" award. Take that Brown's, never again will I just check that the girl next to me in the queue is ok, or help clear the table for the bar staff in YOUR sorry excuse for a pub.
To work! EndNote has arrived, and it fills me with cataloguing glee.
