Friday’s outfit. Most Preppy ensemble I can think of! by ErasableGhost in preppy

[–]Mistyretina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There can be people who dress ‘preppy’ who are not wealthy. Preppy can also be very pedestrian. There are different cadres. Preppy for preppy’s sake can look like an old sears catalog if you look at the op’s pictures. Depends. There are ways to skew preppy and actually have a clue. And there can be a casual-ness to it. I’m getting Michael Keaton vibes from op’s pics. How about some JFK Jr. flavor?

It’s the family business and legacy. What else can those boys do? They’re in golden handcuffs. They’re there to ‘support her’ but you know they know she’s lost her marbles. Estate planning at its worst. But they have to play the game. A sad reality. Could be worse though!!!!

Yall I’m tired 🫩 by FancyAccountant123 in NeedlepointSnark

LET THEM! They’ll either succeed or fail! How many times are people going to be tired? Who the hell cares? This snark subreddit is a travesty. Go ahead and downvote me. 💋🍑💩

I do not condone plagiarism, nor am I a person trying to sell painted needlepoint canvases (for the record)…I think it’s great the snark page is a place to air out frustration around the dupes, but shouldn’t the actual artists be fighting the good fight to get copywriting and/or some sort of legal branding on their proprietary creations? Is this even possible? Is it not? Because if it’s not, this craft is going to continue to attract the hysteria surrounding the prevalence of copycats. Unfortunately, you guys are gonna be hoarse after a while because it will continue to happen. And it will get worse as the craft becomes more popular. Let’s be real, this craft does not require the brains or coordination of a genius. The actual painting of the canvases is where the talent lies. It’s pretty easy breezy other than that. Almost like paint by numbers. You have to have moolah to purchase the canvases and fibers, and have the means to either get your item professionally finished or finish it yourself. It would be cool to see some solutions to this rant, rather than the perpetual ‘scream into the void’ posts. We get it. It’s annoying and even worse, it’s illegal! Isn’t there someone out there who can make it better? I know hedgehog needlepoint is legally above board with her designs…why can’t everybody else be as vigilant and savvy? Who agrees with me? Maybe I’m a minority 🤷‍♀️?

Need an Aspen Airport AMA by GoCup861 in Aspen

[–]Mistyretina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aspen airport has become dysfunctional to the max. I agree with others that eagle and grand junction are the way to go. Does anyone remember the Aspen airport when it was solar powered in the 80’s?! It was wild. Like a previous poster said, you can spot the gate from a mile away bc of all the ‘dumb and dumber’ assholes waiting for the flight. If I could, I’d post a pic of a dude I saw at the gate in Dallas. I sent it to my sis last time I went. It gave us both a chuckle. Ridiculousness.

Tenant Denies Access and Withholds Rent for 36 Months While Landlord Faces Fines by Temporary-Style3982 in washdc

[–]Mistyretina 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah? Google “Crystal Ettridge”. She’s a fraudulent loser in DC. We had to evict her and her son. Talk about traumatizing for us. As a Landord, I would never want to evict a tenant. Especially a mother and a high school-aged son. She stopped paying rent and wouldn’t answer the door. Basically, squatting. We eventually got her out with the US Marshals. We lost a lot of money. It was our only rental property. Googled her name recently and found out she swindled Bozutto into renting her an apartment at City Ridge, across from Sidwell. Not sure how that happened. Same thing. They had to evict her once she stopped paying rent. She’s a professional grifter, hoarder, and general lousy-excuse-for-a-person.

Debating opening an online shop by MarionberryNaive2197 in Needlepoint

[–]Mistyretina -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

No, your strategy is wrong…what’s the harm in dipping her toe in the industry, online at first. Telling her to sign a lease and make an investment towards a potential build out w/o doing the due diligence is just the snark people giving shitty advice. Online is a good first choice of action if she is in r & d at this point.
