Girlboss

Hello, Vintage Fashion Forum.

I have an emergency on my hands. Pun intended.

Please help date these gloves, ASAP. Pics attached.

Those gloves are the bee's knees,

the cat's pajamas, and the duckling's waddle all in one!

Def from 1950s.

Watch the caps lock, Skirt_Russell.

The pattern on the cuff means they're from the '30s.

As the moderator, I must remind you

that this thread is only to talk about our decline in sales.

ItTakesAVintage, please start a separate thread for your gloves,

which are from the '40s and are clearly Nazi gloves.

Great find.

Good eye, Gail, and even better moderating.

Thanks, Frederick.

We have fun here.

Can we please ban GIFs?

They're more distracting than they are cute.

Plus, they trigger my epilepsy.

Separate thread.

As I was saying, we have all been hit by a lull in sales the past few months.

And I don't think it's a coincidence that it started when you-know-who showed up.

Spot on again, Gail.

Nasty Girl has sullied the sanctity of vintage fashion.

Like slapping a butt patch on a pair of gabardine slacks.

BRB! Gonna see if my hummingbirds came back.

Made a homemade suet...

First off, it's Nasty Gal.

Second, this message board should be called David Lynch's Elephant Man,

because it's full of freaks and sad as fuck.

You all saw that post, right?

It's gone now, but I saw it.

Was that the Nasty Gal?

She called us freaks.

Even worse, she completely missed the point of The Elephant Man.

Everybody, stop.

She's reading all these posts, laughing her rear end off.

We are not freaks.

Let's not give her any ammunition to make fun of us.

No hummies, guys. Hope my cat didn't eat them again.

What'd I miss?

Fine, fine, I deleted it.

Do not engage.

You do not come across fun online.

It wasn't even my best burn.

I got good ones.

Ones so mean, they make you cry with your mouth open.

No! Let sleeping dogs lie.

I never got that saying.

If I come upon sleeping dogs, I'm gonna wake them up.

It's 2:00 p.m., dogs. Why you sleeping so much?

Oh, they are still talking shit about me.

Skirt_Russell just Photoshopped my head onto an ostrich's body.

- What? - Even their insults are weak.

Basically, they're saying I'm long, lean, have nice bone structure, run really fast.

Lay the dopest eggs.

I don't care. I can't have these dick licks

putting neggy vibes out there about me. It affects my business.

Oh! Sorry, vintage fashion nerds. Get out your aloe vera

'cause you about to get hit with a third-degree burn!

Sophia! Do not engage!

The Internet is the most powerful force in the universe.

You're right.

I won't engage.

I'll just silently observe until the hatred boils inside of me

and gives me severe acid reflux

and I can't enjoy my favorite foods anymore.

Hey! So, I took it upon myself

to organize your inventory binders.

Ooh! Nice.

You make this place look cool as shit.

Oh, stop.

But keep going, and slowly, 'cause I like it.

I'll finish the rest after my shift.

We need something over here. I'll know it when I see it.

Get it, girl, money's no object.

Hey, don't forget. Today's the last day to ship that order to London.

Yes.

Solid reminder.

Can you believe it? We inter-natch.

We inter-natch for days.

We inter-natch for datch!

We inter-natch for datch, batch!

- Love you, in case I die. - Love you, in case I die.

Yo, Annie! Jump in!

No, thanks. I'm a responsible adult on her way to work.

The last thing I have time for is...

this!

Who wants to see some fly shit?

Here's the fly shit. Here's the fly shit.

Here's the fly shit. Here's the fly shit.

Ooh! Yeah! Here it comes!

Here it comes!

Here it comes!

Bye, Annie!

Hey, Pilar.

Question.

Do you think I should take...

urban dance classes?

No one's gonna think you're racist if you use the word "urban."

But I can't say churro?

That's different. In the context you used it, it sounded very racist.

- Receipt's in the bag. - Thank you.

So, I got the call.

You got the Amazing Race? Who's your partner?

Don't take your busted mom. She's just gonna drag you down.

No, it's better than that.

I got promoted.

Pilar!

Congratulations.

- Can I help you with something? - Moisturizers.

Aisle one.

- Walk with me. - Where?!

Here's the thing.

I'm getting a new office over at 525,

which is what us in corporate call the place we work.

- I don't even know what street it's on. - Mm.

And when I go, I want you to take over my job.

Be the new manager.

Wait, for real? Me?

Duh, you were born to manage people.

And I'm sure as shit not gonna promote Gina.

Man, going on birth control did not have the desired effect on her social life.

Yesterday, I saw her alone in her car eating an ear of corn.

What?

So, what do you say?

Mm.

Me as manager?

Yeah, I think I can see it.

I always wanted to be drunk on power.

Hey, Gina! Unpack those new eyeliners and spit that gum out of your mouth!

I'm sorry.

Oh, oh, God, no. No, no. That felt terrible.

But also kind of great.

You'll get used to it.

I mean, I personally would have let the gum thing go.

But you'll learn what hills are worth dying on.

Having met Sophia,

I wouldn't be surprised if there's shill bidding going on at Nasty Gal.

"Shill bidding," for any newbs, is when you have friends

enter fake auction bids to drive up the price on real bidders.

"Newbs" is Internet slang for new people.

The Internet is... Hee-hee, JK, we have fun here.

Gail, you met Nasty Gal?

Catch up, Betsy.

I met her a while ago. There's a whole other thread about this.

HTTP, colon, back slash, back slash,

back slash threads, back slash 6834.

Sorry, one sec.

Wow, I just read the whole thing!

Caps lock.

So, get this. I just got back from my ear, nose and throat specialist,

and he said I have problems in all three.

That's unfortunate,

but what's most unfortunate is that it's off-topic.

Now, who out there has evidence of Nasty Gal's shill bidding?

Oh, no. Not cool.

Forgive me, Father, for I must engage.

Hi. Long-time lurker here.

I just wanted to tell you how much light and beauty you've brought into my life.

You all sell with such integrity.

As the moderator, I must note this is off-topic.

But thank you.

This is the forum to discuss Nasty Gal's ethics or lack thereof.

If you have a civilized way to bash her, lock and load!

Nasty Gal.

I feel like I need to scrub my browser history

every time I visit her site.

LOL. LOL.

LOL. LOL.

LOL. LOL.

But I don't think she's shill bidding.

I was once the only bid on a Nasty Gal top,

and I got it for a very low price, $69.

Sixty-nine? That's very fair.

Yes, 69 is fair for both parties.

Agreed. Both parties were completely satisfied.

With all due respect, this is your first time on this forum

and you're immediately defending the enemy. It seems suspicious.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought you were a group of like-minded individuals

who might embrace someone with a wallflower lifestyle.

I just have a hard time connecting with people.

I spent all morning practicing my hello to the mailman,

but when he came by, he was just so fast.

Just threw the Valpak in there and ran.

Silver lining:

If anyone's looking to install an above-ground pool,

I have a 20-percent-off coupon.

- If you're not gonna use it... - If we're being honest,

I bought a pencil skirt from Nasty Gal at a reasonable price.

Maybe we've been too hard on her?

Maybe.

I wouldn't wanna be a part of an Internet witch hunt.

Right, Sharon?!

Me, neither.

Shouldn't this be a safe space to talk about our passions?

AnnieGreenGables, welcome to the forum for 'em.

9-11 was an inside job!
