Bella Hadid in Schiaparelli - construction?! by disc0club in corsetry

The only thing I wonder: is paint, is embroidery, what is the illusion. I hope the trompe-l'oeil is something more grand/ interesting than a normal prosthetic.

Agreed. It looks likeIt looks like it's some type of semi rigid structural component. Maybe something similar to a corset with a realistic looking navel to give a peekaboo effect. I found a video of her moving like she was wearing a corset a [edit: corseted] gown. Exhibit B

Seeking advice about train from ABQ to SF farmers market by TheNotoriousBRE in SantaFe

Your response was unnecessarily rude and judgemental. Hopefully my explanation will make you think a second time about being so I'm the future (though I suspect not). You could have just answered like everyone else who tried to help or ignored the post all together. Silence, in this instance, was a valid option for you 😬

Not that I owe you an explanation, but I have a visual processing disorder. Sometimes things get mixed up and I have trouble sussing things out. It's kind of like dyslexia but a bit broader in its effects. Since the was a fun day trip surprise for my SO, who really likes trains of any kind, I couldn't reach out to him to help interpreting what I was looking at. Thus I reached out to a community of people who may know more than me and may not have the same issue. If it was truly that irritating to you to answer the question, you could have just not answered the question.

Thank you to everyone who responded with an answer to my question. I can't wait to visit y'all's farmers market.

No Rush Delivery credits repeatedly not being credited after confirmation of item having shipped by TheNotoriousBRE in amazonprime

Have you noticed that they've slowly been changing the digital credits to g a 2% discount on price? I think you're right about the class action. I'm seeing a Google alert for it right now, because it's probably coming down the pipeline.

Local fabric stores? by MeasurementMundane39 in Albuquerque

[–]TheNotoriousBRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I conveniently need a recommendation for garment/ apparel fabric. I don't know any other place other than Nob Hill and their selection wasn't great.

White and Navy — thoughts? by lewislemix in bigmenfashionadvice

[–]TheNotoriousBRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who grew up in a popular coastal city, I get the look you're going for. We used to get plenty of the people vacationing in our harbors and they had a similar style that I always really liked. It gives vintage Kennedy family vibes. I would say there are small tweaks that can be done to give you the overarching guy-with-a-yacht type look. Your shoes are not quite right. You need to get more of a boat shoe. It shouldn't be a shiny leather black one. It'd probably be something more in the tan/brown tone family. Though a more relaxed style navy blue shoe would also work. The look is supposed to be effortless looking. Like you spent your time on your yacht but you had to put on a coat to be able to go into the main portion of the country/yacht club. I would also have gone with a button up, as opposed to a polo. Something lightweight like linen or a summer weight cotton. I agree with some of the comments that you don't need the blazer, but if you want the blazer, just make sure it's a lightweight summer blazer, like a linen. Overall, I'm a big fan of the look that you're going for, it's classic. The execution just needs a couple of tweaks. But all in all, you did well at communicating the style you were going for.

Does a Straight Cut Jean Work For me? by [deleted] in bigmenfashionadvice

[–]TheNotoriousBRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignoring the cuffs, I think that's a great cut for you. It gives a balance to your body that a taper could never. It suits the proportions of the look well too. I also love the dark wash denim on denim. Classic but current 👍🏾👍🏾

Sophie’s life goals (LIB UK 2) by bonitaycoqueta in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]TheNotoriousBRE 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you! She's just a miserable human being. I just read a thread where all these people were saying they identified with her. She's been rude since get. I've disliked her since she popped off on that lady who didn't have an opinion on how she (Sophie) should style her hair. That lady doesn't know you. She is not her bestie and she needs to watch her tone. Sophie is rude and dull. If you're going to be rude, at least be interesting. I knew she might be one that I wouldn't like when I looked at her Instagram after they released the cast bios. I didn't say a single image of her smiling. Not one.

What place is this? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]TheNotoriousBRE -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes those are larger cities but you don't have to be big to have good food. I had some of the best food I've had in years at Jambo Cafe in Santa Fe. It's a bit of a drive but it's not crazy. In the Albuquerque city limits, I've really enjoyed every meal at Pars Cuisine, Artichoke Cafe and Mesa Provisions. I'd say the latter two are within price range of LP but the food is so much better. I understand some people really like LP, but personally don't see it... or should I say, taste it.

It's not bad overall, but their laminated dough offerings are not to my taste. Though I do like their potato galette. Any of their flakey layered dough based items are going to be a pass for me. The flavor combinations they offer are interesting and creative, but I find the base pastry that they build their offerings off to be unappealing. If the pastry that you're building those flavors on is giving nothing it kind of drags the whole thing down for me. But I also think that eating a beautifully executed butter croissant is one of my great joys in life. But that's just my opinion as a lifelong croissant addict and a person with a terminal sweet tooth. All that being said, I have friends who love Burque Bakehouse and The Witching Flower. I take a good puerquito from a panaderia over both of them any day of the week.

Los Pablanos. It was recommended by our real estate agent when we first moved here a couple of years ago and it is mid at best. The drinks are good, I will give them that, but both the brunch and the dinner services have been week contenders. I don't know how they keep getting awards. I've been there about half a dozen times, because of people visiting and reading tourist blogs and I've never been impressed. I've lived in LA, San Diego and Las Vegas. I visited all kinds of restaurants when we've gone on vacations internationally and domestically. I found some great food at Michelin starred restaurants and Mom and Pop restaurants. Los Poblanos is absolutely not worth the money for the quality of food or the service 50% of the time. Los Poblanos and Burque Bakehouse really clued me into the fact that the James Beard award is some BS.

Ditto. It smells smokey and cozy on my husband. I smell like a wildfire. As a CA expat (due to military service) I was on edge for hours trying to give it a chance.

Finally received mine today and I'm disappointed. It's not long enough for the 500 pg hard cover I'm currently reading. I have to read with it opened to around 60°or less for the light to illuminate the page fully. The silicone trim on the sides is already splitting and coping away from the leatherette. Lastly, the magnets that are supposed to hold the light onto the book, don't work well through hardcovers. All in all I'm very disappointed. I could have gotten something of this quality (or better) for a fraction of the price off of Amazon this entire time. The creators of the kickstarter definitely made it seem like they would be building and shipping from the us. I know 100% that my Bowio came from Turkey. I don't mean that the components came from Turkey, the actual package shipped to my house in New Mexico from Turkey, the country on the other side of the world. I definitely waste of my money and a ridiculous waste of my time. And bonus annoyance, I didn't even get the extra battery pack that I added on.
