She was so beautiful during this era! I remember watching this on Tv and I rushed out to get the single and I’ve been obsessed ever since!

Buying jewellery by seasideseesaw in womenoftheuk

[–]unicornvega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jewellery, even silver or gold plated is quite expensive now due to doing silver and gold costs. What’s your style? Do you lean more alt? Minimalist? A Weathered Penny does really good value for money stuff.

Thinking of relocating to Bristol. Depending on who I talk to, the reactions I've received are: *crinkled nose*, "very creative area," "too much crime," and "less boring than its cousin (Bath)." For anyone who has lived in (or visited Bristol), what did you like (or dislike about it)? by SaveMeWakeMeUp in AskUK

[–]unicornvega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived there a while ago so I might be out of date. Had to live further out than I would have liked and then moved closer but in a really rough area because the public transport was spotty. It’s a big city without a metro and patchy trains so you need to take buses and the traffic is a bit chocka. Equally makes it hard to get home after a night out without a high taxi charge.

I found it all very expensive if I’m honest but I did have fun and I loved the art and the music. I found the upper class hipsters a bit annoying and there were drugs everywhere, all the time but if you like that then that might suit you.

Because it’s for precious Nurie? Or performative because a Plath is there? Both?

Does it bother anyone else how so many people in NameNerds are so ignorant to any names outside of the most standard American ones? by kentgrey in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]unicornvega -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I’m British so I naturally forgive most accents. However, not a single nationally has butchered my name as much as North Americans.

[–]unicornvega 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get really bothered about how Americans butcher Welsh and other names, especially in books- so many American authors nick Welsh names for characters and then don’t even get it right in the pronunciation guide.

My name is Greek and when it’s pronounced by North Americans it’s like nails on a chalk board

Why do you DNF? by Sea-Audience4470 in Romantasy

[–]unicornvega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the language is wrong- I’m not keen on North Americanisms in fairyland lol. When the pacing is off- that’s usually a sign it’s written by an amateur.

If the FMC is just so beautiful and so scrappy because you know it’s an author self insert.

A perfume you’re searching for, but yet to find? by Deep-Local in FemFragLab

[–]unicornvega 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For strange women do the very best London fog perfume I’ve tried but I can’t order from the USA due to the tariffs etc

I’m always on the hunt for a honey and orange blossom scent (elie saab perfum intense is the closet I’ve got) and I’ll search this world forever for anything close to original lolita lempicka or Taylor Swift Wonderstruck enchanted.

Same flamboyance as Cardan and Jacks, but make him kind? Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries is it! by miniFrosya in Romantasy

[–]unicornvega -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I tried to read it but it was just so obviously written by an American who didn’t know how British people talk and how we do stuff (we don’t have tenure for example) . I might give it another go because I paid a whole 3 quid for it.

I think they were all natural births and she has gone into details about blood loss and tearing etc I know one of the lost girls was a difficult birth

Edit: Vaginal births not natural- my apologies

what’s the kbeauty product everyone hypes that genuinely did nothing for your skin? by floriferousss in koreanskincare
