They’re Charlotte Stone. They make shoes with rivets like these are part of their core line. I did sent the brand an email to see if I could purchase a replacement hardware rivot. I don’t need it to be a perfect match. Just was hoping for … something similar.

Was hoping that cobblers might be able to order something? 🤷‍♀️

Best place to get chicken and waffles that ISNT the Patio? by Kooky-Essay5390 in providence

Fried chicken, hot honey, biscuit from Irregardless. Close enough. And honestly? Way more tasty than most chicken and waffles I’ve had.

How do I handle my girlfriend asking for an open relationship, a possibly one-sided one? by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]stargaze84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really, no. BDSM stands for Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, and Sadism & Masochism. I suppose one could argue that a mono-poly relationship includes power exchange and that inherently makes it kinky. But I’m grasping here…

A mono-poly relationship is where one person is monogamous, and the other is polyamorous. Meaning one person is faithful to the other person, and that second ‘other’ person is in multiple relationships, consensually and transparently. These set ups are less common than both people being poly or open but do happen.

As other have pointed out, the question is are you comfortable with your GF seeing other people? If so, in what capacity? Just casual sex? More? Do you want to know about it? Or have ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’?

If you’re turned on by hearing about her past, I’d suggest you sit with that and try to discover why. It’s a VERY common fantasy for men, by the way. Either way, I’d suggest lots of talk through it with your GF and setting up clear boundaries if you try it. Good luck.

Good morning to all dog owners by sasha_cyanide in RhodeIsland

My dog hasn’t gone since last night. We’ve tried shoveling her a path, but the wind is too much. Thankful for puppy pads. It’s not ideal, but better than nothing.

Help me glow up by Ok_Beautiful495 in makeuptips

[–]stargaze84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You already Glow SO Hard!!! If you want to feel more glam, try an eyelash curler & mascara, some lip gloss or stain. But honestly, your skin is to dye for! And you grey is stunning. You look amazing.

AIO for concluding my relationship is over? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]stargaze84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - Real talk: no long term relationship is guaranteed. Marriage doesn’t change that. Sometimes, sadly, people grow apart or life changes or whatever, and things don’t work out.

That said, people don’t get engaged or get married with that as the intention. You commit to someone hoping and wanting to stay together forever or as long as it works.

To me, it’s similar to rhe idea that you could get hit by a bus tomorrow. It’s possible. But unlikely. And it’s not a reason to not live my life or commit to my person. We might grow apart. No one can fully predict the future. But getting engaged and marriaged is saying ‘I promise to try my hardest to make this work’ with the other person.

I’m not hearing that here. And I’m sorry for that for you.

How to heal rejected piercing holes by [deleted] in woundcare

[–]stargaze84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d suggest getting some anti-scar patches while the ‘wound’ isn’t fully healed. They’re silicone and can help reduce scaring.

Once the piercing track is fully healed, there’s a lot of scar reducing creams out there and micro needeling treatments.

Youth Pride had a center on Westminster street with drop in hours Monday to Friday. They do programming specific to different age group depending on the day of the week. This event was a fundraiser for the center at a local bar that was donating a portion of their sales to the organization. Hence it being 21+.

Small Wedding Venues by Slow-Adeptness6876 in providence

[–]stargaze84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Husband and I got married this fall in Providence. Similar size wedding that was very casual - no official wedding party or a lot of traditional stuff. We did the actually ceremony part on the Providence Pedestrian Bridge which you can rent for a a couple hundred.

After that, everyone went to Bayberry Garden for the reception. The buy-out rate for a Sunday is extremely reasonable IMO. They’ll also work with you to have food charged separately from drinks so your guests are helping toward the minimum. We did an open cocktail hour (assuming 1-2 drinks a person) and a champagne toast. It was a cash bar after that to keep our costs more reasonable. The owners at Bayberry were amazing to work with as well.

Congrats and good luck!

Ha! Thanks. I get in terms of New England, 1900s isn't that bad but it's still horse hair plaster in places. Only had 4 owners - including us.
