Interesting...
Went to my first jewelry party. Basically a tupperware part except with jewelry. Obnoxious sales woman and completely ridiculous lies in the catalogue.
Phrases only used to convince random unknowledgables of how amazing the product is. Except to the more... literate individual, it's rather hilarious.
"The chinese I Ching "The beginning of everything." "
Erm... NO! The I Ching, is the BOOK OF CHANGES! It has NOTHING to do with magnetism or magnetic metals, it's a book of symbols!
Even the birthstones were off; december is not turqoise! It's Onyx, Ruby or I think Zircon, not turqoise...
"We trade in your gold, but not your silver. I'm not sure why but I think it has to do with the chemicals, that silver has too much chemicals in it to be reused, I think that's as close as I'll get in explaining it in lame terms."
I was SO hoping I had misheard her say that, but Bexx heard it too. lame. Yep, very lame. but I do believe hse meant LAYMEN terms. But no, by all means remark on how hard my accent is... x_X
Regardless, I managed to sit through the bullshit even did the good deed to buy something ("It will be custom made especially for you! Is it okay if you have it before hte weeks out?" Fastest delivery ever? Or od I sense some utter bullshit there?)
SO yes... it was an interesting evening... At least there was food and the people attending were nice... except the weird saleslady...
"I want you to just play around with all the rings."
"It comes off much easier if it's stiff."
It was a challenging night, the boys were not helping...
