So, maybe I haven't...

Pretty sure I haven't shown you this dress as yet :)






It's my Hell Bunny sailor dress and it's the ultimate swing dress. The skirt is so full that my ChicStar petticoat just doesn't do it justice. It really needs one of their own petticoats under it to give it the full flounce it deserves! I bought it off ebay (as one does) but I'm so nice that I found a linky for you.

The cardi is from Target and the shoes are from Milanoo. I was wearing my GEEK scrabble necklace with it as well, but I had to take that off so my cute chiro could massage my neck. It's a hard life ;-)

Gothic encore

I've pretty much run out of clothes to show you all now...so it's time to mix them up a bit :)


Today it was my lovely lace up jacket and a plain black skirt.

Short and sweet :)

Swinging style

I love the full skirted swinging style of the 50's. There's something so feminine about a twirling skirt and layer upon layer of tulle. I own several dresses that could be described as 'swing' dresses and I thought I'd wear one of them out today for a leaving do in the Swan Valley (okay, fine, I wore it yesterday. No, I didn't make this post on the day I should have, but I was drunk. What are you going to do about it? Huh? Yeah, didn't think so. Back in your box!).






I got this dress from City Chic and it's actually now on sale if you like it! I was surprised it was still around as I got it quite a while back.

I wore my Hell Bunny red petticoat underneath, and added a bit of height with my old faithfuls from Milanoo (who are having a Mother's Day sale and you can get these lovelies at 40% off. Dammit, I only placed a new order a couple of weeks ago...). The shrug I got ages ago, can't even remember where from now.

Bonus photo for quieting your whinging about being a day late. Me in a tree with this dress on! And lots of other pretty ladies!

A little bit of gothic flair

The weather is starting to get a bit cooler, which means lots of pretty stuff starts to get hideen. This makes me sad :(

But what if you can have pretty outside things too? *gasp* Is such a thing really possible???

What if I told you, yes?



Okay, so this doesn't look that great in the first picture as the flash has really shown the contrast between the singlet and jacket. Trust me, it looks prettier in real life! I may need to invest in a better photographer...

This is one of my latest ChicStar purchases and I'm actually really happy with it. It's well made, relatively warm (this is Australia - it doesn't exactly get cold) and so pretty. It also comes in burgandy and also two types of jacquard. I went with black as it's more versatile, but at only $55 it's a pretty good bargain. I may need to add another at some point.

A few of the proto items on the site have caught my eye and methinks once they're in production they may also be getting added to my wardrobe.

There's this Steampunk inspired double layered jacket...

 


This dress (which they are saying is Steampunk but in my opinion is not)...

 

This double layered Steampunk gear skirt...


And finally, my favourite of the protos, this absolutely gorgeous military style dress...

 

What do you all think?

Hair, hair, hair!

I started to put this post in the last one, and then thought, what the hay, since I jipped you all on posts for the past week, why not have two! The post was born from the fact that I dyed my hair tonight.

I used to have long hair, and would have loved to have gone crazy with it, but long hair is just too much effort. It also gets way too damaged with constant bleaching. With short hair, I bleach, the bleach grows out but by the time I bleach again, I've had one or two haircuts. The old, damaged stuff gets chopped off and it stays relatively healthy.

 The dye I use is Crazy Color and it absolutely killed me spelling that without the u...Anyways, I digress. Kate's Clothing has the most fabulous multi deal on it. One bottle bought from here (home) costs me $24 AUD. I can get 4 for ten pound from Kate's Clothing so with postage it converts to about $28 AUD. You'd have to be crazy to pass that up!

The colours I have in my extensive collection of this dye are Vermillion Red, Pine Green, Capri Blue, Hot Purple and Pinkissimo.

The first time I dyed my hair, I used the Capri Blue, and had it done at a hairdresser. They told me that with bright colours, you need to do several applications of them before they will start holding. Well, I must say, I was a little surprised that I went green. I did love it, but still, I had wanted blue...


I did get my hair pretty blue for a while after that, but for some reason I don't have a photo of it. In that time I was given the nickname Smurf, so I Pinkie Promise that I'm not lying!

After plain blue, I went purple, using the Hot Purple dye. I rather liked it.


After that was the rainbow stage. Blue at the front, pink and purple alternated at the back. No idea what it looked like from the back, but I loved it.


 Then came the red. When I bleached my hair, I found that for some reason, the blue in the fringe wouldn't bleach out. When I first dyed it red (using Vermillion Red) the fringe went black. Over time the red faded from the fringe and it went blue again. I did re-dye the blue at one point too, so most of the pics I've had up on this blog have had me with a blue fringe and red hair.


To celebrate finally being able to raise my arms above my head again (FREEDOM!!!) I thought it was high time I dyed my hair again. Red seems to be everyone's colour of choice for me, but I get bored with the same old thing, day in, day out. So I figured I'd try out the Pine Green I had in the cupboard and see how it would go in my fringe.


You'll get to see how it pans out in my photos from the next week or two. It doesn't seem very bright at the moment, but the wonderful thing about semi-permanent colours such as these, is that they evolve all the time.



Apologies!




So, I've not posted for over a week. Bad Scarlet! I went away for the Easter long weekend, and WiFi was pretty much non-existent where I was. I also hurt my neck and back while away so I've not really been in the mood to post, plus it hurts like hell to sit in front of a computer for long. It's starting to feel a bit better now so I thought I'd share some photos with you!

This was my Easter getup for Thursday at work. I kept the ears on the entire day. Not because they were cute and fun, but despite the god awful headache they gave me, they also gave me ear hair!
It's my fave jeans, and also one of my favourite blouses. I got it in a clearance sale at Target forever ago, and I adore the Victorian collar and neckline. My sister calls it my grandma shirt (thanks Chicawil :P ) but I ignore her and carry on wearing it!


This is the way my face looks when I'm trying to smile through lots of pain. I also had to turn a little, not because of the lovely design on my stockings (that's just a bonus) but because I couldn't straighten my neck and looked like Lurch.
The shirt is from Target and the skirt is from K Mart and the stockings are from Myer so it's pretty much a department store outfit. Classy as ;-)


So, my sister and niece went down to the south of the state for the long weekend. I packed light and stuck to jeans and a lot of Father Ted tees. I also took my Applejack hoodie (remember people, AJ is best pony!) and couldn't resist getting a photo of me wearing it in the apple centre of WA! 


I've been on a strict rest regime the past few days and it's been driving me batty. I'm not a homebody and get so bored. However, lounging around the house does imply a certain casualness and I've spent most of the time in my jarmies. I got these cute slippers from K Mart the other day and have been wearing them to death. Since they're from K Mart, I give em a week before they start falling to pieces...


I promise to get back on track with a post every day now, and that's a Pinkie Promise! Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!

Late again...

But at least this time I have a photo.


A horrible photo, but it's up nonetheless.

I got the dress from Mystic Crypt, a site I stumbled across a while back. They have a great range of plus sized alternative clothing, as well as a whole lot of other stuff. Definitely worth a check out.

The necklace I was gifted by a friend in Scotland, so I'm not sure where that is from. I did see it on a site at the time, but it was a couple of years ago now and I can't remember which one.

Short post today as I have to get going to work. Have a good one :)

Loaded with disappointment.

This post is a day late, plus has no photo of me.

I'm pretty shite at this blog thing, aren't I?

Christian wasn't well and was asleep when I go home yesterday. I wanted to go for a walk, but I wasn't going to wake him up and demand he take a photo of me. It's very inconsiderate of you that you wanted me to. I mean, seriously, where are your manners??? I'm questioning our friendship right now.

To somewhat make it up to you, here is a link to the skirt I was wearing.

I was also wearing the top I wore in my derp post.

One of the nurses at work calls this outfit my 'KGB Call Girl' get up. I know it sounds nasty, but she actually means it as a compliment. She's rather lovely and I won't hear you say these awful things about her! You're really pushing it, buster!

I'm really starting to run out of unique outfits to wear, and will take a leaf out of that hussy, History's, book and start repeating myself. So rest assured, faithful reader, you will see me dressed as a Communist hooker soon!

Purple haze

Okay, so I wear a lot of black. I admit it, maybe I have a problem? Oh well...

Today, I've offset my black with a dash of purple!







The tee I got from the Hard Rock hotel in Singapore, but you can get one from any Hard Rock shop. I'm so nice that I've even got a link for you!

The skirt I have no direct link for as I picked it up from Crossroads last year. It's a multilayerd, flowing goddess of a skirt and I love it.

The shoes are from -  you guessed it, Milanoo. I have huge, wide, German feet and I don't fit into many shoes. When I find a style that I actually fit into that don't cripple me, I get them in every colour I can!And yes, these are pink, not purple. So I'm wearing a dash of purple and pink. God, you are so finicky!

The earrings are one of the best bargains I've ever found, and I have them in multiple colours too. They're just over a buck! With free shipping! Bargain!!! Do yourself a favour and order some! You know you want to.Ah go on. Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on. GO ON!

Big cheating cheater

I must confess - I had no photo taken of me today. It's not because I'm dressed horridly -- in fact, I'm wearing an old, but lovely blue summer dress of mine. It's just that, well, we have people over and I've just not had a chance to have one taken.

I don't want to pike completely though. So here is something that adorns me at all times. It's my favourite part of me; the one part of my body that I'm not ashamed of.


It's my wolf tattoo. He looks a little different now. He's faded a bit as he healed, plus I've got somewhat slimmer ankles now. But I love him today every bit as I did the day I had him done. He is, and always will be, my favourite accessory.

Costumey goodness

Apologies for the delay in getting this post up. I wanted to wait until after the party for the post, otherwise it would just be this rather boring photo of me in jeans and a tee.






It's a Father Ted tee, but still, pretty boring nonetheless.

The costume party we went to had much more exciting outfits!




Christian went as Ace Ventura (a little hard to tell, as he doesn't have the hair) and I went as ALF!


I have never looked so adorable before, ever! Or being so stinkingly hot either!

I'll have Sunday's post up for you a bit later - when I get out of my jarmies!

Too hip for school

I love books. When I was growing up I wanted to be either an author, or a librarian. I'm 35 and have just finished writing the first draft of my first novel, and although it will probably never see the light of day, I've kind of fulfilled one of those dreams. For the other, well, there's this dress.






It's the Library Assistant Dress by ModCloth and I love, love, love  it. It's sweet, and girly, and even though it screams HIPS, it's just fabulous. It doesn't come with the belt, that's one from another of my dresses, but I felt it needed something to cinch it in just a little.

It received great reviews on the site, except from one lady who said 'This dress is well made... but I think the style is very young. Suri Cruise would look adorable in this! I felt silly in it.'
Errrm, did you even look at the picture before buying it??? Because it's pretty obvious that the style is sweet and innocent and young. Don't go blaming the cute dress for your lack of observation skills!

The shoes are from Milanno, and I love them, but rarely wear them. The  strap around the ankle chafes after a couple of hours and can wear a nice little hole in your skin! I didn;t have a red belt though, and felt that this outfit needed more red, so red shoes it was!

Now, you can't see it in this photo, but I'm wearing one of my favourite necklaces.





Christian got a little creative with the angle here, but it does the job. It's my GEEK scrabble necklace made by Candy Envy Accessories, a local Perth business. When I had long hair, almost every hair bow and accessory I wore was from here. It's really worth checking out. Yes, she sells a lot of stuff you can get from anywhere, but some of her original pieces are fabulous. I especially love the Pacman necklaces she does (and own the blue one).

Well, it's booze-o'clock so I will love you leave you. I'll have a special post for you over the weekend as I'm going to a costume party Saturday night so there will be bonus costume extraordinaire photos!

Beating the budget

I often get asked how I can afford such an extensive wardrobe, as I have so many different outfits. My husband and I are DINKS (double income, no kids), and as we don't smoke, rarely drink, and our idea of a great night out is actually a night in with friends, we do have some room to spare in our budget for new clothes now and then. I have had a larger than normal influx into my wardrobe for the sole reason that after losing 27kg, nothing really fits me anymore and so I kind of have to buy new things, otherwise I'd scare the natives with my pale, saggy butt!

Having said that, I don't go crazy. I don't really buy name brand stuff, and it's rare for me to spend more than $50 on one item. I shop mainly online where things are generally cheaper, and I rarely will get something unless it's discounted or free shipping. There's no point paying $20 for something online that's at the local shops for $30 if I'm paying $15 in postage!

The fact that what I wear to work is also what I wear on a general basis, means that people I work with see a lot more of my wardrobe than one normally would. A lot of people probably have just as many clothes as me, but when you wear a uniform to work, no one at work sees anything but the uniform.

Also, having just started this blog, I'd bore the shit out of you if I wore the same three things day in, day out. Are you not entertained???

So, justifications aside, here is what I wore today.


This outfit is crazy cheap. The dress I picked up at K-Mart for probably $15 about two years back (yes, if I lived in the States, I'd be a WalMart shopper. Now take your judgey eyes off me and go back to reading :P ). It's just a simple fit and flare dress, and I'm hoping they have more this winter because it's getting slightly too big now but it's a staple of my winter wardrobe.

The socks are super cute, but since you can't see them in this pic, I took some special photos just for you!



These were about $5 at one of those sock pop up stores.

The earrings and scarf I got on ebay for about $2 each - with free shipping might I add! Bargain!

The shoes I got from Milanoo (I think I mentioned that previously) and I wear them to death.

Overall, one of the cheaper outfits I could put together :)

Linky linky linky

Just drawing your attention to the sidebar over there. No, over there. Can't you see where I'm pointing? Gee, I didn't think I could be any more obvious about it! Well when you do find it, you'll see that I've now got a nifty little list of links. I try to link directly to specific items I've bought, but if you want the generic link to the overall treasure trove of a site, you'll find it over there. No, there. Open your damn eyes!

Strawberry fields

I got this dress in probably August of last year and had worn it many, many times to work. For some reason though, as soon as I wore it in December, it suddenly became the 'Christmas' dress (some sort of ironic Christmas. Bonus points if you got that reference!).






Not really too sure why. Those are strawberries, not holly and berries!

Anyway, it's made by one of my favourite dress brands, Hell Bunny. This particular style is called Isobel . I don't have a link because I got in on ebay, but if you really want one, a quick google search should do the job .I'm also wearing one of the long Hell Bunny petticoats in red underneath. A girl has to have flounce!

Anyways, happy hump day! It's all downhill from here :)

Blue days

I seem to wear a lot of black and red. Not sure why. Maybe the styles I like suit black and red best? I don't really know, but the truth is, I seem to favour those colours. But they're not the only colours I wear! I do have a spattering of colour through my wardrobe, and today was a blue day.






I love this dress with it's sleeves and lace trimmed ruffles and it's prettiness. What may make a lot of people blue is that it's out of  stock. [Insert frowney face here/]

The good news is that ModCloth are quite well known for bringing back items due to popular demand. You can hit the appropriately named 'I Need It' button to register your lust for the dress and if enough people with good taste agree, they'll bring it back. Yay!.

I'm wearing my blue Teddy TUKs today. Completely different shade of blue, but if I'm gonna go blue, may as well go full bluetard.

I'm also wearing my favourite necklace. A lot of my clothes have high necks, or I'll wear a scarf, so I don't wear as many necklaces as I used to, but this one just has to be worn every now and then. I got it from ebay ages ago so the listing has long closed, but it says 'Shh, I'm reading'. Consider yourselves warned!

Orphan Annie with the giant head

I'm pretty sure it's mostly my friends who read this, so it should come as no surprise that my alias - shortened from scarletmanuka - is not my real name! *gasp* I know! Shocking isn't it!!! For the random reader who stumbled here accidentally and is now searching frantically for a way out, my real name is Annie. Okay, so that's a fib. It's Annette, but unless you're my mother or my husband, you probably jump on the Annie bandwagon.

Is there a point to this? you ask. Why yes, there is, and if you were a little more patient, you'd have come to it soon enough, but no, you've made me go off on this tangent and it will take you a whole thirty seconds more to get to my point. Are you happy now? Hmmm? Finished ruining it for the rest of the class? Can I move on? Thankyou.

Annie needs an Orphan Annie dress and this is mine.






Apparently, Annie also needs a massive fucking head to go with it too. Seriously, look at that thing. I must bobble when I drive over speed humps. But I digress...

This is ModCloth's Looking to Tomorrow dress (see what they did there?) and I love it. It's cute and retro and is paired perfectly with tights, especially the Le Signature tights. Fancy name for black tights with a nice red stripe up the back and a signature at the ankle that kinda looks like a bow. One of my staple pairs for winter. I often have random strangers come and ask me where I got them and they're always a little surprised when I tell them Myer. Myer is for nannas and business women, isn't it?

Okay, so that's today's update. I'm gonna go now and be sassy and tapdance along a railway track whilst in full song. Good day :)

A day on the docks

So today I'm going into Fremantle with my sisters. I love Fremantle -- the old buildings, the smell of the sea, the hustle and bustle of the markets. It's a pretty place and I love wearing pretty things there.



The sailoresque top I got from Milanoo ages back so I can't find a link for you.

The circle skirt I got from ModCloth. This is the first time I've worn it, since it sits very high on the waist and does accentuate the hips quite a bit (like I need any help with that!). Pretty sure it's designed to be worn with a top tucked into it, and that's not something you're gonna see me do much...However, this top has a frilly bit at the bottom so it flares out a little anyway, so it doesn't look as silly as some of my other tops would paired with this skirt. I'd normally wear a petticoat but three layers of tulle can get a tad warm and as it's a bit humid today, I think I can forgo the tulle.

Teddy TUKs cos I'm walking and I'm set to go :)

Hope you guys all have a smashing finish to your weekend,
Scarlet xxx

Saturday, 5 April 2014

Yay for the weekend!!!

Ah, Saturday. My old friend, it's been too long since I saw you last!

Saturday means writing, and massages, and fun! Unfortunately today, it also meant the election (well, re-election since they buggered up the last one so we have to do it over). I got the boring stuff over with and then went to my weekly write-in. Yay for writing!


So, the weather is slowly getting cooler and it's now pleasant enough for knee high socks! I love my knee highs! They just add a little something extra to boring legs. I love pairing them with my gorgeous zombie teddy TUKs (which I originally got from a pirate shop in Edinburgh, but have replaced several times over from ebay since I wear them to death). 

The rest of the outfit is just from boring, everyday shops. The top from Big W, the skirt from K-Mart, the socks from one of those pop up sock stands at the shops. Nothing to write home about.

I'm going to try soon to feel confident enough to maybe, perhaps try, to not stand like such a dork in my pics. Like, maybe, pose a little more. Maybe. If I don't feel too silly. We'll see.

Anyways, happy Saturday to you all

Hmmm

Okay, so I'm not going to lie. I really didn't want to post a photo today. After my hubby took the photo, I went and got changed into my super dooper cuddly jarmies and then I uploaded the pic and went 'Blurgh!'.
It's a horrid photo - I was moving so it's all blurry and I hadn't pulled the dress straight after my drive home so it's tucked up in some weird way under my boobs, plus giant husband doesn't take photos from the most flattering angle... I should have gotten dressed again and taken another photo but I was already in my pajamas...

However, I am a semi-amateur blogger and dammit, I made a promise to upload a photo every day, so upload I will! Hopefully the link I give to the dress will do it more justice than my horrible photo!


This is the Greeting of the Minds dress from ModCloth. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, and honestly thought I was alone in my love. The retro style, the frill, the rust colour - who could possibly agree with me? Apparently quite a few people!

I must admit that the photo would probably be more flattering if the dress was slightly bigger. As I said in my last post, I'm kind of in between sizes right now and am trying to find my way a bit. The first items I ordered from ModCloth were all 1XLs. When I went to order this dress, I was like, yep I'm an XL because that's the same as 1XL (In my head, it's the same because there's only one X. XXL would be 2XL, XXXL would be 3XL etc). Well apparently it's not. America has some crazy sizing guide or something. Anyway, the point being, I ordered a size smaller than I probably should have. Although it fits, it's tight across the bust, so doesn't fall properly, plus one Hulk flex and I'd have busted out of the seams.

I seem to be making quite a few excuses here, aren't I? Maybe I just look shite in it lol

Anyway, to make up for the mediocre photo, here is one that I took of my jarmies. Christian was by this point mid-game in League so I had to take it myself, hence you just get the legs.


Cute, huh?

ChicStar

I guess it's only fitting to make ChicStar my first post about places I shop, since most of my first couple of posts have been from there.

So, this is a site where people can submit fashion designs, they get voted on (any member can vote), and the winners are produced. The site sells these items as per normal, or wholesale. When selling wholesale, the buyer has the option of using the stock photo provided by ChicStar. Most places don't attribute the garments to ChicStar, rather name them as their own styles. You can always tell a ChicStar item by a headless model. A lot of the time, there's a large mark up on the external garment, so it can be cheaper to buy from the source (unless you score free postage or something from the other site).

I've found this site to be very hit and miss. Their sizes can be weird, even after following the guide. I ordered this dress along with my skirt, and as big busted as I am, it was so gapey at the bust. The shrug design at the shoulders is very wide, yet the fall from the hips is weird and sits odd around the tummy so the whole dress doesn't fit nicely. It's not the first time I've had trouble with the shoulders either. I ordered a few tops a year or two ago that I never wore due to the fit. Very big at the top, but then tight across the ribs, and tiny in the arms.

They seem to be moving away from using shiny, synthetic material for their clothes, but a lot of the items would be much better in a cotton blend. A lot of it seems too plastic for my tastes.

The plus side to this site is that it's relatively cheap, and they offer most items in plus sizes. I've recently lost a lot of weight and am now in that weird in between stage, but I still shop at a lot of fat girl shops.

I also love a lot of the designs on the site. They talk to that gothy/steampunky side of me. Some of them can be horridly garish though. I shudder at some of the clothes they sell, but each to their own. I'm sure there are some people out there who laugh at me after I've walked by.

Anyway, it's a good staple site to use. The petticoats are a must for me and I find the length of them really suitable to me. It can take some digging, and there can be dry spells where nothing new that appeals to me is being made, but overall it's a good site.




Awkward poses and derp galore



So let's all just agree that I would make a shit walking clothes hanger. I always look awkward in photos, almost like a dog waiting for a ball to be thrown. But I digress...

New skirt! Woot!

I had to wear my platforms with this and I was still almost too short to pull it off. Maybe it's just me, but I'm sure I look much shorter in photos...maybe it's the way my giant of a husband has to stoop to take a photo of me? Anyway, I'm sure it looked better for realsies.Or maybe I'm just deluded.


Anyhoo, this is another ChicStar design. I got it here.



When I turned around, there was a rather appreciative 'Ooooh' from the ladies in the office. I quite like the lacing at the back too :)

The top is ancient, but one of my first purchases from ChicStar. It was part of this outfit...


I'm still undecided if it even goes with the skirt but really, it's the best of what I had. I think the plain black corset I've ordered will be a winner, though even wouldn't wear a corset to work. I know I overdress for work, but I still draw the line somewhere.

Frills and lace



This is my new favourite top. It's a Spin Doctor blouse and I picked it up off ebay for about $40 (all amounts are AUD). I'm a big fan of ebay. If I find something I like on a site and they have crap postage rates to Australia, I'll automatically search for it on ebay. It has it's cons, but postage is usually cheaper and you have buyer protection if something goes missing in the post.

The skirt is from ChicStar, and so is the petticoat. I'll be doing a separate post about ChicStar later but just briefly, I've had a definite hit and miss history with this site. Their fit can be really weird, especially around the bust and shoulders, but this skirt is one of my favourites. I love the glimpse of petticoat underneath, and it's so girly and feminine.

The shoes are my stock standards from Milanoo. I have big, wide, German feet and have a lot of trouble finding shoes to fit me. I love these, and have them in a couple of colours. I can't wear heels, so the platforms give me the extra height without the horrible angle.

Aloha cousins!

Hello there my lovelies!

So. A fashion blog. Not something I would have ever seen myself doing, but here we are. I've had a (surprising) number of people suggest this idea to me, and I've pretty much laughed in their faces each time. Why on earth would anyone be interested in what I wear? Well, apparently people like what I come to work in each day. They actually look forward to it. Something about it being the bright point in their mornings. I know, weird right? I work in an office, supporting nurses who work in the community. They have to wear practical, professional clothes, while I can wear...well, whatever I like!

So after even more compliments today (the people I work with are very nice. Like, nice nice), I gave this idea some serious thought. I do get asked where I found this dress, or that skirt, and this is a way I can share that info. The added bonus is that, although it's not screamingly obvious, I actually have very low self esteem. I don't have a lot of self love, and I hate seeing photos of myself. I'm working on this though, and I figured that if I have a photo taken of me every day, then I'll eventually start to feel a little more comfortable about them. It's win win, right?

So, I promise to try and have a photo taken everyday, and also post info on my fave places to get pretties from. You have to promise to not laugh too hard at me and be nice if you comment. Deal? Good. We're going to get on just fine!
