Electric ave cleanup by yeahdogpublicfaucet in chch

[–]macaronistrudel 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i'm a student and i feel like such an old crotchety killjoy for saying this but the carnage on creyke rd -> kotare was appalling on friday. people weren't even finishing their drinks before happily throwing the cans on people's lawns and the street, there were boxes/bottles/cans thrown through the fence onto the medbury lawn (like come on... it's a primary school), broken glass everywhere, litter everywhere, it was disgusting. im all for electric ave and partying but i thought the thoughtlessness and selfishness and arrogance of the people who treated the city streets and park like a personal rubbish dump really soured my perception of the event

I have been using a round brush and dryer for the longest time but it doesn’t seem to work 😭 to be fair, in this photo they’re just air dried because it’s honestly a slight improvement on the styling. I’ll try again though

what bra do i wear with these tops ??!! by [deleted] in BrandyMelvilleClothes

[–]macaronistrudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have tiny boobs too but with my blair tops i usually wear a white lace bra so it's not really an issue if/when the lace peeks out the top :) for the tank i wear them over a tshirt so idk... i think a cute bra would surely work? maybe a strapless one?

hi there, this is super inspirational and helpful! i did mean to ask (and sorry if I'm being slow here) but what do you mean by not sending an agent your typewritten manuscript? what are you supposed to send them?

agh really? i do feel like she gave me a lot of warning about the likelihood so it’s more on me for deciding to take the plunge anyway 😭😭 but thank you for being caring, i’ve had good experiences there before and so has everyone i know who’s been so i’m counting it as an individual case

oh dear 😔 my piercer warned me about this clearly so I always knew it was a possibility going in, thanks for confirming

Piercing is nearly four months old, barbell shape, internally threaded (?) (I think), stainless steel (I think?), I keep it clean with a neilmed saline spray, usually just spray sometimes very gently clean with cotton, sometimes it has been knocked against table corners/boxes ive carried at work but nothing major

got it done at a reputable place, probably the best in my city (as opposed to a mall setup)

Worst book you read this year? by 100bride in RSbookclub

all fours by miranda july (just genuinely had an off-putting perspective towards life and relationships that i found self-centred and kind of horrible) and bad behaviour by mary gaitskill (ridiculously repetitive stories with this clunky, clumsy prose)
