- this board has become SO BORING. Many regs stopped posting as much and it makes me sad.
- I'm sick of all the easily google-able questions ALL THE TIME. It's one thing to ask for an opinion, but to ask "what's the difference btw y & z" has been annoying the shit out of me.
we need an S&B version of "bitch eating crackers" for this.
bitch looking for black socks perhaps.
Note: I wasn't looking for black socks but......Good black socks are hard to find. I had some great ones that finally wore out and bought the same brand and they changed EVERYTHING about them. In the same pack the elastic was super tight on one and the other one stretched out so bad it wouldn't stay up and kept sliding in my shoe. Damn Ralph Lauren socks.
Black socks suck and for that I won't buy shoes that require me to wear black socks.
I should add that I don't think that about people who buy LLL. I like to spend $ on certain things too. I was just pointing out that this board has a really weird view on what's flameful.

I'm over all of the cheap ebay/Amazon crappy accessory love. They look cheap and fall apart after they take a millennium to arrive. I also don't get the love of Target clothes. There may occasionally be something good, but typically all things Target are no better than ON. Basically, all of the cheap Made in China love and hearing that Made in the USA stuff is too expensive. I don't think that conversation has happened lately since we can't talk about anything beyond puppy and rainbows. It's not too expensive if you buy pieces that are quality and stay in your wardrobe for more than 10 minutes.
I also don't like the whole don't talk about any real fashion current events/lawsuits against retailers/too serious for the puppy and rainbow board. I'd rather see that than the board slow down like it has now.
I also hate the WDYT posts that get answered with "how much does that cost?" since the person wants that item and is willing to spend the money. Whether someone is willing to spend the money or has it shouldn't factor into the answer.
Yes but this person also got pregnant the first month b/c she "knew her body" and doesn't really care about vaccinations. So to say I take her opinions with a grain of salt is putting it lightly.
WTF. Who is this? Didn't realize we had our own Jenny McCarthy.

Yeah. I've avoided bringing up any of the American Apparel/Dov drama cuz of this.
NachoProblem, you are NOT a horrible person. Obviously you have a history with her (duh, she's your ma), and it sounds like you've been hurt in said history. Hugs, girl.

see, this bugs me. i shop almost exclusively at places like ON, target, kohls, etc. and i have few is any pieces that last me just one season (minus white tees, but that's because i'm incapable of NOT getting something on them for long). and i am FINE with spending less and getting more pieces. it's fine with me if that's not your thing, but getting all high and mighty about it irks me. i live somewhere where the nicest store we have that isn't boutiques where a large is an 8 is MACYS. so it's not getting real fancy up in here.
and if you want to talk about lawsuits/current events, etc...BRING THEM UP. you might not get the replies you want, because not everyone is well-versed in that kind of thing...but it can't hurt to try, right?

Posts like "I need new black socks, can someone link socks that are awesome?" "What black socks work for you?" do NOT bother me at all.
I failed miserably at trying to be semi sarcastic...But I do still think it sucks to find good black socks!
NachoProblem (hugs) I'm sorry. That's a tough position to be in.
and it doesn't make you a horrible person...it makes you HUMAN. and honestly, you can't help someone if they don't want help. but you can make yourself crazy trying. you gotta do what's right FOR YOU.
Wll, i'm mostly a lurker, but I can see where y'all are coming from. When I joined I did so with the intention of posting mainly here but by the time I did the board felt very different from what it had made me want to join. It is definitely boring so I never even got a chance to start posting because there was not much going on. As far as asking easy questions (sorry if I'm guilty of that, although I don't think so) I can also see that. I like helping out and giving reviews, but I have seriously answered the exact same question about poshmark like 3 times. S&B does not get that much traffic, it's seriously not that hard to just check if someone has asked before. And with that I'll probably go back to lurking in the shadows.

Why lurk? What was it about the board that made you want to join in the first place? Don't be shy, girl, just post some shit. Some of it will go somewhere, and some of it won't. Sometimes, all I have time to do is go through a couple threads and "like" some things, but I at least feel like I am sort of participating.

No, stay!
As long as you don't tell me gifs are cliquey, you are good.

I want to know who said gifs are cliquey.
And carylee07 (for some reason this will not allow me to tag?) will think this is flameful - no one else will care. I hate the Cardnials. Stupid Matt Adams always raining on the Pirates parade. Bah.
I also hate the questions asking if something is 'worth it'. Dude I don't know your life. Do you think you'll wear it? Go for it. If not, count it as a lesson learned and don't purchase.
I also think it's so weird how many people get pissy about TB Revas. Clearly they aren't meant for every foot so what does it matter if someone wants a pair? Pretty sure they aren't asking you to buy them.
And I am on the LLL crack. I feel like I'm in high school again, trying to keep up with what all the cool kids at the gym are wearing.

I'm not a Cards fan either--Cubs and Rockies fan here, but I do love Matt Holliday. So hot.
I agree this board has been dead and I've also noticed and was just thinking today that a lot of the regs have stopped posting and that makes me super sad.
Come back everyone and let's bring this thing back to life!
Also whoever mentioned that none of the Flamefuls/confessions aren't really those things- I agree.
Also I know I'm probably still considered a "newb" and I think I may be an offender of the of the stupid questions with helping me ID things. I am terrible as reverse google image surfing and for any eye rolls I caused I deserve it

Oh she is going to KEEEELLLLLL you.
I think that I have expressed my displeasure of the Cardnials before at playoff time so she will not be surprised. The game in on now and it appears that the Buccos are going to lose...again. So I'm angry about it.
Also who the fuck said gifs are cliquey? I freaking love them and literally gigglesnort at the ones that gets posted in ML threads. Which is why I lurk over there so much lol

It's not just the quality. It's the conditions that they are made under. Did you miss the part about buying domestic goods? I make it a point to try to buy the majority of my goods domestically. I don't like Chinese labor practices. The ebay/Amazon crap is more than likely grey market which is also not good. By copying or straight up selling designs that belong to someone else they are stealing the original designer/label's intellectual property. I make it a point to support the original designer or who originated the item. I don't like buying stolen goods. I also live in the middle of nowhere and have no problem shopping at nicer places. My nearest grocery store is 30 minutes from my house. Don't give me the BS about living in the middle of nowhere.
Also- (since I'm on a posting roll) why did so many of regs stop posting or even participating in the ootd's? This is bothering me bc before I came out lurkdom if was you guys that had me wanting to participate and befriend (even if only on the internet) you guys.
