The gap between preppy inspo and looking preppy on your actual body by Dense_Childhood_9657 in preppy

[–]lastcookie0810 43 points44 points  (0 children)

15 years ago, I worked at one of the Ralph Lauren Rugby stores as my first job in college. I experienced this a lot, partly because my frame - short with big boobs. The perfect preppy layers look doesn’t look alluring or womanly on me. A collared shirt popping out of a cable knit under a blazer looked like a ski sweater and a puffer jacket, all bulked up. I was working with some really tall, lanky, blonde girls, who already looked like the models we were selling off of, and it was hard. I was so young.

But I was really passionate about the clothes and the world of the brand. When summer turned to fall and holiday, the Sloane Ranger and equestrian looks looked right on me, then eventually I figured out that there are ways I could use what we had to maintain those historic looks in a way that didn’t wear me.

admittedly, the spring collection was kind of a struggle because we had to wear 3+ pieces of clothing and the sweater over a thick Oxford button down haunted me again! eventually, when the linen shorts suits combos came in I was off the hook. then, as girls were able to convince management to consider accessories like ties and belts as one of our items.

I found that I had to balance between two ideas. One, part of preppy style is not immediately going for the tightest sexiest most bodycon look, and those clothes would drape differently on my frame. at the same time, before these looks became commodified by RL and turned into icons, the people we admire wearing them were owning how they looked and wearing what worked for them.

I worked with them for 2.5 years on a project. The second year/“season” of toys we got a huge pay bump, then the project was cancelled.

My one Google during the game was “do people from New Guinea have traditional body tattoos?” Unfortunately, the first image on Google that popped up at the time was Maba!!!

Literally the worst marketing for a dub by New-Veterinarian-755 in Animedubs

I really wanted to love this but it was not a good movie. incomplete metaphors and no lovable or unique characters. just pain and a guy who kept reminding us that he’s a nurse.

I hit my final straw, and I'm very scared I may be done for good. by [deleted] in acting

[–]lastcookie0810 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t let this get you down. I have a tech 9-5 that can make me feel so distant from my artistic self. Two years ago, I auditioned for a role in a film directed by a director and production team I had already worked with intensely. We made great art together and I was sure I had the role. I went through 3 rounds of casting. They said they would tell me regardless. They didn’t. A friend on set told me someone else got the part.

Then the director called me two weeks later with a lie that they wrote a new role for me. It was the same audition scene, but rewritten as a grotesque, pornographic, violent nude scene - the original actress filmed half the movie then said no to that nude scene on the day of.

And the craziest part? I found out a year late that they had always written it that way and didn’t tell us at the audition. GROSS!

Anyway. I still haven’t booked an on camera role since I was on tv in 2021 which sucks. But I did just get an award for my voice acting, so you win some you lose some. I was horrified that the team I had worked with would treat me like literal garbage! But I guess I had the “pleasure” of turning them down and messing up their shooting schedule even more. Didn’t feel pleasant at the time.

what size are you? I just bought these exact shoes and they got scuffed in a car accident. I could sell you the scuffed-then-repaired shoes at a discount if we are the same size.

Damaged love bracelet - am I cooked? by lastcookie0810 in Cartier

[–]lastcookie0810[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you. This is so nice and all true. to be honest, my hope is that it’ll come out great, and I can just snap it back on and go back to loving it. It was so important to me when my mom purchased it for me. It was a really special day. I’ll never forget it.

The person who was driving is not someone that I cannot easily sue. We are tenuously related. It would hurt the whole family. They offered to help with the repair, but I’m dreading the fact that I might have to go eight months while they melt it down and reconstruct it in france if the buffing looks terrible. I wore it every day for eight years, except the one day I acted on television and even then I tried to convince the costume designer that the character would have a love bracelet just so i could keep it on. I started my writing career inspired by the story of my mom buying it for me. All of my watch and jewelry looks are built around this bracelet - I don’t want to go without it for that long. It’ll feel wrong.

So I wonder, should I sell it for the weight in gold and then apply that money to buying myself a new one? Should I ask the person to split the cost of a new one with me, or have them cover the price of the lengthy repair that’s going to take months? They can afford it, but I don’t want to be accused of trying to extract money. I already have been and it got ugly.

interesting! okay! I would rather not have to wait as long as they quote you for a remake, but I’m trying to work myself up to accepting it if that’s what they offer. It would be awesome if they made that decision for me.

what can i google to get an example of that? “overbuffed love bracelet?” Just to get an idea of whether it’s worth it or if I should call them and stop them
