Yeah, that sounds SO suspicious.

Man of Moods seems to offer silk blend tees every season. Usually it's a cotton/silk/rayon blend that's very smooth light and airy without any shine. Other than a slight drop in the neckline, they are very basic and clean looking. The care labels on these shirts say "hand wash only" and "do not dry clean". But I have put them in the washing machine on gentle cycle and hang dry without issue.

Air Canada ranks as about "average" among all airlines in North America. Considering how bad most US domestic flights are these days, that's a pretty much a condemnation. Today's airlines are like yesterday's Greyhound bus.

Japanese friend asked me this question and I had no answers.
Why are wifebeaters called wifebeaters in America?

I know they are called runnings (in japan), tank top and singlet in other parts of the world.
Anyone?

hendrix · Jul 2, 2011

because they're associated with people who beat their wives...

I paid with a debit card. Yeah I will once this straightens out. He's a member here as well.

I was quite adamant that I wanted to send the money via non-gift, said I would pay the fees too but like I said, he insisted on gift and I really wanted the item so I went ahead with it. He doesn't seem to have negative feedback on sufu so far and initially he responded pretty quick, and when it came to refunding me the extra money I paid for express he was pretty quick too. Just got my fingers crossed now that he did send the item and it's just stuck in stupid customs, or that I can get my money back if he tried to pull a scam on me. I agree it was naive on my part. I would appreciate any more advice on this matter. Thanks.

Seller hasn't been responding either. I paid for express shipping (located outside the States) but the last time the seller responded, he apparently forgot about express and sent it via priority, he then apologized and refunded me the extra I paid for express. So I thought he was legit and **** but like I said he hasn't been responding. Naivity on my part but can I still call my bank and get my money back?

Fashion thought, I've become a bit of a Geller whore recently are there any other brands I should look into to branch out? I know Fok recommended General Idea but only available in Korea and while runway looked good I didn't see a single thing I liked from those Korean shops. Not related but I really like what I've seen of Schneider but can't afford to cop on student budget.

And it's time to wash my Geller Seconds shirt would I be straight to wash it in the machine on hand wash cycle? If so do I set spin to extra low or turn it off?

pretty sure general idea has been on gilt, actually. Didnt really like much of what they had, iirc.

generally speaking, you don't see non-shady people wearing these as their out-in-public shirt. on another note, i've never really seen the benefit to wearing a sleeveless undershirt. i wear undershirts to provide a buffer between my deodorant and my shirts. is it just to keep the nips from showing through thinner shirts???

wifebeater = two-sizes too big white tanktop imo

Singed the eyelashes above my left eye. Not firework related.

I have been saying this forever-- US airplanes are basically flying buses. Coach is an animal pen, and I am stuck there on most flights so I know, not baller. Regional airlines can be okay. I like Alaska and Virgin. the major US airlines are misery tho.

I will be on Lufthansa in a few days, which is a personal favorite.

That was certainly the running joke.

I was at a party earlier in the evening. Too many beers plus me attempting to light a joint that was nearly cashed out led to the unfortunate contact with the eyelashes. My eye got a bit watery, but I didn't realize why until someone asked me quite a while later what happened to my eyelashes.

Somewhat fashion-related comment: My friend was taking quick snapshots during the party. I'm almost always appalled at the angles of most candid pictures of me.
