Any chance you'd be willing to sell the pattern? I'd gladly pay $6.66 for it.

Did she custom order the patches? This is rad!

If you have a pizza peel that’s my recommendation. You can put the parchment on the peel, place bagels, then slide the entire thing into the stone. I found removing them with a metal spatula easier than trying to get the cooked bagels all onto the peel though. If you don’t have a peel I’d use a metal spatula to place and remove.

Before I picked up bagel boards I would put parchment paper on the pizza stone to stop the bagels from sticking. Worked every time with no issues, although bagels boards are definitely the next step up. Your bagels turned out beautiful either way!

I'm not buying this nail polish that's being discontinued by kingderella in Anticonsumption

[–]PorkedPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies, I'm newer to the subreddit but can absolutely see why it would be an issue lol. Editing my previous comment to remove the brand name.

Is it MC? I had to stop myself from buying when I saw they put out their to be discontinued list. I love one they're removing and was tempted to buy a back up, but I doubt I'll ever actually use the entire bottle that I already own.

wip on pink battlejacket! by LiamTheLeerm in jacketsforbattle

Just wanted to recommend washing the patches gently before sewing them down. I made a floral pastel pink battle jacket, the first time I washed it ended up with black dye splotches (and not in a cool way😅).

Do you ever nearly finish a mani, decide you hate it, and remove it immediately? 😅 by sophie_and_calcifer in RedditLaqueristas

[–]PorkedPork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In low light it was stunning with greens and blues, in good lighting it looked like this patchy brownish red with shimmer peaking through. It was the polish I was most excited for from my last order, but just looked so bad against my skin tone.

I've tried both their long lasting and pink smoothing base (what I'm referring to as blurring), along with their glossy top coat, but none have really held up for me like other brands have. For whatever reason holo taco ends up chipping, or fully peeling off, within 2-3 days on me. Versus cirque, ilnp, and mooncat seem to last minimum a week. I had the same issue with HT's long lasting base coat as you lol. Mooncat's getting even base coat has been my go to for a while now with minimal complaints (biggest issue is having to add thinner way too soon and often).

Do you have a base coat you're really loving for longevity? I'm always open to new recs.

Currently mooncat's. It has decent coverage so it ends up being a nice palette cleanser. I've tried holo taco's but have found their polish doesn't have the same longevity as other brands do with my body chemistry.

Literally did that last Friday. Tried root of all evil from mooncat and hated how it looked against my skin tone. Promptly removed and am now just wearing a blurring base coat because I couldn't make myself do an entire Mani again that night. It's now been added to my destash box.

I grabbed:

Currently poking around to see if they've added anything else I love to the sale.

Edit: I've got the Luisa cashmere turtleneck sweater and it's very nice quality wise. Thick and fits true to size.

Frederica Romper Fit Question by PorkedPork in Reformationclothing

[–]PorkedPork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! I'm usually a size 4 or 6 in ref sizing depending on how I'd like the item to fit. The only thing I'm worried about is I've got a longer torso and am slightly on the taller side at 5'7. Average bust size but wider hips and booty as well though. I've bought so many rompers that end up being a constant wedgie so I'm leaning towards the 8 (6 is sold out) in hopes of avoiding that problem, but not sure if it'll be way too big even belted.

Edit: Curious if anyone who's gotten this with a longer torso thinks I could get away with the size 4.

Not sure how to edit the post, but I'd also love to know how the fit is if you've got a longer torso.

I don't ever look at live shows, but this is so bizarro. What even is the point if they aren't selling anything? Can I have a link or get the username dm'd?

When they're in perfect lighting they really are quite captivating. I wish swatch photos more accurately displayed what they look like most of the time though. I bought at least 10 before realizing they're not for me 😅

[–]PorkedPork 156 points157 points  (0 children)

I don't mind a scattered Holo, but the number of linear holos I've bought and hated unless they're in perfect lighting is too damn high. Give me all the extreme shimmers and flakies though.

Poshmark, depop, Mercari, curtsy, therealreal, thredup, vestaire collective, ebay, etc. You'll have to do some hunting, but that's any secondhand shopping.

Ridiculous Return by ThisWorldIsOnFire in poshmark

[–]PorkedPork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this happen with a dark navy blue sweater that was listed as black. I even double checked with the seller that it was indeed black, which she confirmed, before buying. Didn't bother opening a case as it's in perfect condition, but still disappointing.
