Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I must share this link:

It's a bunch of photographs of awesome men's fashion ads from the 1960s and 70s. Just fabulous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Community, how so fabulous? Seriously.

Cross-posting with Bitches to catch both msbelle and everyone else who feels good about selling stuff...

This is a question specifically for msbelle, but is posed to anyone who feels any level of competency with selling things. (I feel no such competence, thus, the request)

Should a person like myself...okay, I...be in a position that requires putting a PLAN in place to sell most of my stuff...like in the event of a move...what are the best strategies?

This has been a huge challenge to me in the past and I just can't let it get me down anymore. Practicality demands turning stuff into cash!

By stuff, I mean books, vintage fine jewelry, vintage clothes, vintage decorative stuff, a Spin cycle, vintage postcards and travel slides, a few pieces of smallish furniture, and small appliances. The miscellaneous houseware stuff will go into a yard sale.

In the past, I have been completely intimidated by ebay, struck out on craigslist and have no idea which avenues are best for which type of item.

I need a game plan.

What has worked best for you? What would you avoid?

I'm going to be around until later this evening, but will be completely away from the computer Fri-Mon...working on the PLAN.

I would deeply, deeply appreciate email at profile addy with any specific suggestions.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm still making my mind up about Community. Tonight is the season finale, so I have all summer to catch up on two seasons if I want, is that right?

In re: the workplace appearance discussion.

A friend of mine made a special effort to compliment a male greeter at her favorite restaurant for his obviously 'well thought out' fashion choices. "He made and effort. I was impressed!"

I really am a piker when it comes to creating a nice aspect. My appearance is massively mood-based and I can be lazy since I'm not accountable to an office culture.

Even when I was, I tended much more toward 'eccentric' than fashionable. No slave to fashion have I ever been.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's what I'm doing! Right after I finish Mr. Show and do Better Off Ted.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I did! That was pretty sweet. I also liked the Don Draper bit.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Late thank you for the math!! I appreciate it!

All the percentage functions I can remember are related to calculating grades. Quelle surprise.

Ok, gotta go to bed now. Have been so TIRED this week in the mornings. I think it's the increase in my AD.
