I got my car back on Monday, thank God. I like A/C. I like power windows and doors....

Work was umm...interesting. I almost lost it this morning. I really do not like one of our two "new" guys and I found out I'm not the only one. The afternoon went much better. I drew a pretty skull with a pink bow and put it on one of my co-workers water bottles. ::giggles:: He hasn't taken it off the water bottle yet. That and I talked to a lot of my friends at work and gave up on the computer since it wasn't working. My boss said I could shoot the computer if I could find a way to blame it on the people on the other side of the building....

Sewing; four unfinished projects that will be done by this weekend gosh darn it!

And for the "things found on ebay" crowd: I didn't know my Easter dress from 1993 was Victorian! And here I thought it was a lovely Easter dress at the time.....now it looks like bad curtains. Really bad curtains.

That dress is just too funny. It looks like one that I bought for my 13th birthday at Sears. I can't believe the seller states that the dress is "vintage Victorian romantic lace."

you wouldn't believe some of the things people post as "antique" or "vintage". The wedding gowns in the pre 1901 section of ebay posted by [livejournal.com profile] pinkdiamond are just priceless. One is the very definition of mid to late 80's fashion and the person is calling it "mid 19th c".

And not very, at that.

I know vintage, and that ain't vintage.

That's just old.

hmm...I don't know. If the last time I saw it being "vouge" was in 1993, that would make it at least 15 years old. Vintage is typically 20 years to 40 years old (one generation removed from whatever is "new") so it's only 5 years off.
The sad thing is we do have a lady at my office building whom we refer to as "Retro Woman". The most up-to-date office outfit she's worn looks like it came out of Dana Scully's closet from the early years of the X-files. The most hilarious outfit we saw was dubbed "Janet Jackson's lost jacket". I think that says enough within itself.
