Thread about rubbish threads you've considered

[wee quinnie]

Hi all,

Quite often when I am nodding off to sleep at night, a question pops into my head, and I think, "I must post this on the forum - it is truly the only place I will get the right answer." Of course, when you wake up next day, you think - "How bonkers was that?"

Last night I considered posting a picture of an outfit I intend wearing to a wedding in April, and asking you if you thought the shoes were too dark! (In the cold light of day, I have realised, that they may well be, but I don't give a stuff if they are or not, I ain't buying no more....I'm only the bridesmaid after all!)

Any other crazy threads you've considered, then rejected for their inanity. Or do you just post on regardlessly?

PS - Should I post up my outfit?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Show us your togs.

[annaj]

Yes, definitely post your outfit.

And yes, I think of things to post all the time, mostly completely barking. Fortunately, my brain to mouth, or rather brain to typing fingers, filter is usually quite good. I do have occasional, embarrassing lapses though and the crazy sneaks out.

I could be worse, folks.

I started-out the day with high hopes, but by the end of it, reading back, I've more or less agreed to have anal sex with Ringo Starr for cash.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Please don't post pictures of that *Bob*

[*Bob*]

Ringo hasn't agreed yet, PGC.

But - assuming the money can be found - I suppose I could offer him a backhander.

[Keef]

I know a guy who does his garden bob, I'll hook you up!

[*Bob*]

What does 'doing his garden' entail, Keef? And how much does your guy get for it?

[Keef]

Just clearing out the back passage I believe.

I have also made myself a wee bag out of material like this,

Wee Quinnie

Link to bag failed, but anything a la Kidston would be sublime.

The dress is absolutely beautiful, I am sure you will look knockout. My only thought is that flat pumps with a strap at ankle position won't be flattering to your legs (nb, dark colour not a problem). Push the boat out with some heels.

[Moos]

WQ, I'm with PGC on the heels, but the dress is amazing, what a colour. Assume you aren't wearing a hat since you're a bridesmaid, but what are you doing with hair and jewellery? With a strapless dress, a beautiful necklace OR hair down is a must...

[shoshntosh]

please don't spoil that gorgeous dress with those shoes!

[wee quinnie]

Thank you for your endorsements Moos and PGC - I value your input! However, I must say I am not mad keen on heels, as I never wear heels and dread the idea of sore/tired feet.

I am conidering taking the shoes back to m and s in light of your comments. Good call!

HI Wee Quinnie,

Gorgeous gorgeous dress - I love Coast, always my first choice.

Glad to hear you're returning the shoes - good luck in your search. I had a similar problem when I was a bridesmaid - I simply hate wearing heels (come May I will return to wearing Birkenstocks for the next six months). But I did find some small silver heels in Dorothy Perkins (of all places!).

Love the necklace - you haven't mentioned what you are doing with your hair, but I have discovered that a fascinator adds a certain je ne sais quoi to a wedding outfit!

I am loving this thread Wee Quinnie - I definitley might post outfits in the future ....

[wee quinnie]

Oh good!

Any links to shoes, avidly followed up! Maybe we could get our own show on cable TV!

Keep posting (or start posting) outfits for perusal/advice.

PS - I have just discovered what fascinators are. Crikey!

[Moos]

Ooh, ooh, this is the funnest thing. Thank you, Wee Quinnie for starting this! The bag is lovely, and you can be tres smug when people ask you where you got it from.

Have you thought about wedges? Heels, but comfy! Great stuff. Or something with an ankle strap so it doesn't fall off your feet when you dance, but in a pale colour so flatters your leg. Sorry haven't found any shoes yet, but will keep trying.

[????]

I thought about doing one on crap ideas I'd had fo thrads but decided that would be far too banal and dull

[Moos]

Really, Quids? Now, that does surprise me.

[Azul]

you have no idea the amount of rubbish and weird stuff is flooding my mind all the time.

[????]

That'll be the beard

Thank you Moos - hadn't thought of wedges.

[wee quinnie]
