pennywhistle fashion

Post by lilymaid »

I'd not noticed this before, but I found it rather amusing.

You know, I'm finishing up my Anthropology 101 class, and I've yet to see anything quite like that... :o

Not sure it'd flatter my figure.

Actually, I'm amazed at the somewhat low price on that thing. On sale, but still...for some obscure reason they send me that catalog occasionally. I've never bought anything because they seem to be trying to couch their ridiculously overpriced merchandise in some sort of hipper-than-thou cachet.

What do you mean overpriced? I think $228 is very reasonable for a Millefiori dog dish...

Just got mine, and I agree with Walden, it does not flatter my figure at all.... maybe a few rhinestones here and there....

Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

if anthropologists are wearing those now, I don't know whether to say "I'm quitting law enforcement and getting into anthropology" or "I'm staying as far away from anthropologists as I can get!"
maybe it has to do with the gender of person I am imagining wearing the piece in question...

My father is an anthropologist, and he doesn't look any better in it than I do. :D

That's it! I'm done forever with anthropology! the mental image that I have been left with, namely JES in a dress, has driven me into law enforcement forever. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm sure Mr. Smith and Mr. Walden would both be lovely in it. The colour would flatter Mr. Walden, I'm sure. :)

So you make a habit of collecting them, do you? ;)

They have pretty good sales, actually. All I have from there are a purple corset-style shirt, a teal sweater, a teal hippie shirt, and some really cool dish towels, but I think they're all adorable.

I wear what I like. Sometimes it's fashionable, and sometimes it's just plain weird. (The necklace I bought today, for instance, is probably in the latter category. :) )
