In 1944 a kitten named George (short for General Electric) was saved from drowning by a U.S. Navy crew member. George was then photographed and given a liberty card and detailed health record. Source.
finally i can wear a miniskirt without showing the whole world my big fat ass 😭😭
35 to 70 bucks per skirt. damn…
yes, our prices are higher than you would find in fast fashion. i’d just like to preface that the following doesn’t come from a place of anger or anything like that, i just want to provide some education.
our prices are higher because we are a small business working on a small scale and because we use a factory that has extensive certifications that ensure both ethical labor practices and the usage of high quality materials, i.e. materials that are not hazardous.
this includes certifications up the supply chain, which is extremely difficult and costly to do, as things like dyes and fixings (buttons, zippers, etc) are some of the most difficult to track and some of the most likely to be made with hazardous chemicals or with unethical labor.
fast fashion prices come with bad labor practices (sweatshops, labor camps, etc) and often use materials that are harmful to humans (lead, PFAS, formaldehyde, etc) and those chemicals are still present when you receive and wear those garments.
all clothing is made by humans. cheap clothing comes with a price. it’s just not one you know you’re paying. and that’s normal because the companies that use these practices do not want you to know.
reblogging this again because I bought one of these for my birthday and it just came! $35 for a solid color skirt isn’t bad, plus it really is longer in the back. And pockets!! I’m too old for clothes that don’t have pockets.
I think sometimes cbt is a load of bullshit but once in a while you’ll just effortlessly parry a thought that’s trying to make you spiral and it feels so good. I’ve done it like 4 times tonight.
Did you mean CBD or are you talking about cock and ball torture
Yes if you beat the shit out of your nutsack you won’t ever feel sad again. This is medical advice.
“Don’t just throw ripped jeans away, you can repair them using these 10 cute Visible Mending techniques!!” unfortunately my friend the first point of failure for every single pair of jeans i have owned in my life has been the Crotch and Ass. Knees: fine, cuffs: fine; but 3 years in, and all that stands between the world and my astronaut-patterned taint is 0.5µm of denim worn so thin that every squat threatens to tear it to shreds like wet toilet paper. If the Tiktok craft community could figure out a way to resurrect jeans afflicted in such a way that doesn’t involve adding a whole ass buttpatch like some sort of inverse assless chaps situation then that’d be great
May I recommend the sashiko family of techniques? I’m not sure if you’ve seen this particular method but it’s one that is likely thousands of years old and is especially good for areas like the inseam or the knees that generally get more wear than other regions:
Many of the visible mending hacks one sees are designed to be aesthetic and not structural, as OP points out, but this technique is different:
1) you’ll notice that the mended area is larger than the actual damage. All of the stitched area indicates where additional fabric is added for strength.
2) the pattern of visible stitching is PRACTICAL in this work. The reason pants wear down along the inseam is that the fabric is constantly being rubbed against the other leg. Here, the stitching is what’s rubbing against itself, and the embroidery will fail first, meaning the fabric underneath will last longer.
3) this technique is very, very simple once you draw your grid, and there are plenty of places online that sell water soluble graph paper that you can sew into as a guide and then wash out.
Please please please don’t give up on home sewing and mending because of content farms - I promise there’s a whole world of incredibly simple and reliable techniques that - while perhaps time consuming - are PROVEN to increase the longevity of your clothes AND give you further opportunities to express your creativity and style!!!
having thick hair and going to get your hair cut is just having to listen to your hair dresser repeat over and over again how millions of people would commit despicable crimes to have your hair
