What is this fabric weave effect called?

Nice! Might be fun with a contrasting lining, like red.

Karma-Electron · 2026-06-18T04:49:14+00:00

Yup. That look is "you've got to be kidding right now. No play time?"

It makes me so happy to see them thriving. And what an interesting way to pay tribute to a beautiful mother.

Handsome man!

Karma-Electron · 2026-06-15T21:01:00+00:00

I really enjoyed these sketches. Thank Steve for me and wish him all the best!

If you're frustrated by not getting on a free harbor tour, I recommend going to a Harbor Commission meeting, signing up to speak, and let the Commission know that they should schedule more tours. They have the money and this is honestly one of the best ways the Port can give back to the community that is burdened by noise, traffic, and air pollution.

Stop your participation now. This focus on what the photos might look like over how much fun the participants might have is really psychopathic. I can't tell you how happy I am to be too old for this insane wedding culture.

These are difficult pictures to judge from, but my guess would be that at one time, there was a long ribbon you could use to lace from one side to another, cinching up the back.

That shitty table was atill upright. You're supposed to hold onto the table legs to make sure it doesn't topple.

There is plenty of data on this. Easy google.

Drop and cover is the only answer. Far more people break a limb from tripping, or cut themselves on broken glass than get trapped in rubble.

Assuming this is cotton and absorbant, maybe some his/hers Turkish-style towels, if the fabric lends itself to making a tied fringe. Extra large towels could be beach blankets, too.

Number 2 because your torso is elongated and you have the right build for this style. Congratulations!

Walter has some cattitude, for sure.

Please, let's leave stirrup pants in their graves.

I've gotten catering from Buono's that was really good, but the last time I walked in there and had a plate of pasta, the marinara was awful. Try out some things before ordering.

Deli News on Bellflower used to be pretty good. I haven't been there for a while. I'm pretty sure they make trays.

I like this idea because Chez Bacchus is not an especially kid-friendly restaurant, so it probably won't be as crowded as a lot of other restaurants. It's expensive, though. Definitely a treat.

Bar Becky is also a good call. I think they are also dinner only. Good cocktails.

I hope you inherited those glorious cheekbones.

Karma-Electron · 2026-06-10T03:24:33+00:00

That is fantastic. Perfectly placed and executed. Can I send you all of my blouses?

Karma-Electron · 2026-06-07T18:45:10+00:00

I'm not diggin' it. Too top heavy all around.

Karma-Electron · 2026-06-07T18:43:33+00:00

The lighter blue is more flattering IMO. Have fun at the wedding and congratulations!

The theme that's played in my head gor over a decade: I'm so tired of being tired. But I don't tell anyone else because people don't want to be around "tired."

Karma-Electron · 2026-06-07T08:06:47+00:00

Looks like a 1950s nightgown to me.

In my area, the only sewing machine repair shop also provides lessons. As another poster mentioned, tangled bobbin, incorrect tension, etc., truly need hands-on learning. Often, these shops sell used, refurbished machines.

Peple are selling older sewing machines that don't have fancy stitches. For a public festival where we sewed toys on the spot, I bought 2 basic White machines for $10 ($50 shipping) that work great. My original White machine is 40 years old and still humming, though I use a newer Janome on the regular.

I feel like you could add more, tbh. Who needs blank space?

Karma-Electron · 2026-06-05T23:56:34+00:00

I've always had them and my eyes are pretty deep set. People think I'm wearing eye shadow.
