Raven you is best pony.

Thank you. I do what I can to support the Fabulous and Broke like myself.

Speaking of, I signed up for this eBay-like site called Copious and I wound up getting 8 free eyeshadows because the person I ordered from was out of town when the order was placed. She apologized by telling me to cancel my order, and she'll send me a bunch of shit for free. She sent me six eyeshadows in 10g jars and two "samples" in 5g jars. For what she charges, she basically sent me $56 in merchandise plus eating the shipping costs.

I still need to do proper skin swatches, but the colors are gorgeous.

Question, for all you smart people:

The PS4 is on the horizon, and I'm desperately scrounging together cash in order to be able to have it. Now, I'm finding a few ways to get income, but I might not have the full amount I need by the time it hits.

The question then is, "Should I apply for the Amazon Store card in order to get financing, thereby allowing me enough time to get a paycheck to pay for the first parts of it, or should I not and find other things to stimulate income?"

I'd say don't do it. Waiting a while won't hurt your wallet, whereas credit cards have a lot of potential for damage.

Besides, let the bugs get worked out first and the reviews come in.



I think sometimes, when you can't afford something, or just barely have enough, you want it more.  Now that I can afford frivolities like DS games and fancy face paints, there are a huge number of products and games I no longer have any interest in but that I positively drooled and pined over when they were just out of my reach.   The fear that I might not be able to get the thing was more of a hook than however much I actually thought I wanted it.

Credit cards are evil. The PS4 isn't worth it.

Unless it's backwards compatible. Then I'd be carefully combing over some fine print, but seriously, try to sell an organ first or something.

Oh wow, score! That's awesome! I don't have much in the chest myself, but I have two very good friends with very large breasts, and they've told me how hard it is to find good bras.

Tell me I'm a weirdo for wanting to get my filthy little paws on this:

I'm not going to do it, but damn, that's sexy.

It ended up going for $560, a lot less than I thought it would. I wish it were mine.

Necro!
(Don't know if it's the right thread for this though)

I was wondering if anybody knows of a website where I could get an average quality 3 piece suit. I was thinking of getting a classic guy suit but unfortunately there's junk in the trunk and in the front and I'm short, which makes androgynous pieces look ghastly on me. So I'd need something a bit more accommodating for my build, and I'm a novice when it comes to online shopping. Can such a thing be found online, or is tailoring the only option?

Any input greatly appreciated, thanks

Thanks for the advice . I suppose I'll wait until I really really want it, and then have it tailored. It'll certainly save me a lot of frustration with ill-fitting online purchases.

I recently splurged and bought a cute Big Bang Theory bathrobe. It has pictures of and the lyrics to Soft Kitty.  It's so cozy.

I want one of theseeeeeee. They won't be cheap to ship but hey, it's a handmade item. I just can't decide which one to get Undertow was my favorite vigor but others are so pretty too .

You're right! Dunno how I'd do the waterproof sticker, but everything else seems manageable. Guess I was too distracted by the shiny.

Does anyone know of a webstore selling stuff similar to what Modcloth sells, or used to sell (mostly aiming for retro-ish flowery dresses and similar stuff), that ships worldwide? I'm not really into what Modcloth is offering these days

Is it a thing these days that Goodwill doesn't have oodles of cheap-o jewelry? I went to my local one to get some necklaces for my (first ever) cosplay and there wasn't a single piece of jewelry or accessory to be found. Perplexing. :\

Maybe people are reluctant to give off their baubles cause everything is fashionable these days.
