soapbox.

i shop a lot. a WHOLE lot. and i do realize that my penchant for rampant consumerism doesn't make me an expert. but holy crap, people - just because you have a store on ebay doesn't mean you can lie your pants off.

1. a search for "anthropologie" returns some anthro clothes, and a SHITLOAD of stuff from a seller who has some random clothing and "anthropologie lip balm" or a notecard or some such crap. that, to me, is disingenuous. you, sir, are a LIAHHHH. not to mention an assface.

2. a search for shoes returns a whole mess of lies. sellers who list their items with the "kitchen sink" approach (which, i'd like to point out, existed before hillary's campaign) do so with the aim of getting more hits. maybe that makes them shrewd businesspeople. or maybe that makes them assfaces. i do not want your "size 8.5 shoe boot pump peeptoe platform wedge," sir. i do not want them, because i don't know what the HELL they are, and you're a moron.

3. not everything is vintage. wait - let me amend. not everything is antique. if you're hell-bent on selling something and using the word "vintage" to describe it, at least use it correctly, i.e., vintage 1970s. just throwing out the v-word can mean anything, and 90% of the time you're using it to describe something that's 5 years old. and i'm sorry, "vintage 2003" just sounds lame. you assface.

as for antique, technically that's stuff that's at least 100 years old. get a fucking thesaurus. and a dictionary, while you're at it.

oh, and nObOdY's impressed by your inability to type, or your insistence on using the word "L@@K" to drag people in.

no, i'm not sure where i'm going with this. i just know those people suck, and i wish i could kick them with my shoes, which aren't heels-wedges-peeptoes, nor do they come with an anthropologie notecard.

ta.

Dis is some funny poop! Yeah, I'm just now finding your blog.

Incidentally, I have some Vintage Road Racing Wheels to sell if you're interested. See? "Vintage" is so much easier than "Cycling technologies in the last 15 years have reduced these hand-built wheels to being merely 'quaint'."
