Shop or Die!

[drakyndra]

Things I have learnt from posh op-shops:
- Some designer label clothing is really fucking ugly.
- Even when second hand, and in less than perfect condition, Prada shoes are way out of my budget. And Fendi ones are even worse.

I went and bought myself another hat. Because everyone needs a blue, snakeskin print fedora, yo! That brings my fedora collection up to four. The newest has been dubbed "The Pimp Hat".

ETA: NEW NAME! Courtesy of melata_fic, it is now going by... SnakesonnaHat!

Things that are fun: Going into a trendy, expensive clothing store, and having the shop assistant say that she likes your outfit. Especially when you know that all your clothes combined are worth less than the t-shirts she is selling (Well, except the leather jacket).

I also got the new Mars Volta CD. Am preparing to listen to it now.

Also, I have Pocky. Whee!

Mars Volta is good. But not as good as De loused.

Having listened to it, I have to agree with you on that one.

I love people's reaction to Pocky. It is always exuberant joy.

*cough* Blue, snakeskin print? Fedora? I love your taste. It should be dubbed snakes-onna-hat, though.

Expensive clothes are strange. They are either amazing or fugly, with not much in between.

Pocky is brilliant.

SNAKESONNAHAT! Best idea ever!

That is true about expensive clothes.

I've never really got the point of stupidly expensive clothes. I'd end up spilling somehing on them, anyway.

Is Pocky that Japanese chocolate on a stick thing? (Just googled it.) Simon reminded me that we'd had it in a restaurant once, served next to the green tea ice cream. The chocolate one was yummy but the strawberry was a bit ick.

Occasionally they a very nice. But then, I also tend to do a lot of shopping at op-shops and markets, so my taste in clothing is quite diverse.

Yep, that's the one. I have dark chocolate Pocky. With almond bits. 'Tis very yum.

*grumbles.* Now I wants a fedora. Damn you for reminding me I don't have the money! *shakes fist in your general direction.*

*adds Snakesonnahat to her other three fedoras*

I've never eaten Pocky. I feel I'm missing out. Woe.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Really? You poor, deprived individual.

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

I am. We don't get anything exotic like that out here in the arse-end of the world.

*points and laughs*

Chinatown for the win!

[romanticizing.livejournal.com]

Pocky = win! My friend and I used to trek over to the Asian market to get some after school. We liked the chocolate-with-almonds one. We always wanted to try the Men's Pocky!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Men's pocky always amuses me. And yeah, asian supermarkets are fun. Though you can get Pocky from dispenser machines around Uni...

[romanticizing.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's super. I wish we had Pocky machines. I think I saw it on Amazon a little while ago, actually..

Your hat is fab BTW :)

The advantages of having a Uni with a large number of overseas students. And spending a year living in International House (one of the residential colleges)

I love my hat.
