yard sale

Ordinarily this lot would go directly to Goodwill and that was my plan before everything got shut down but we've had this box sitting in our room for a month and a half now and [personal profile] echan asked me to do something with it, so here's a handful of stuff that if you want it, I will send it to you for the cost of shipping + $1-5 per item, whatever we agree is reasonable. Obvs you should be careful with incoming packages and wash all clothes you order online, but no one in our household has been sick, if you are concerned about that.

Clothing (of various adult sizes, because [personal profile] echan and I are shaped very differently):

Ododos brand leggings, size US 2XL (per their size chart, waist 38"), in a black-with-white streak pattern. polyester/spandex, secret pocket. New enough to still have the tag on.

Ododos brand yoga pants, size US L (per their size chart, waist 32"), in a black-with-white streak pattern. polyester/spandex, secret pocket.

Amazing Sports brand leggings, no size info on label, waist about 35" unstretched, space/constellation/nebula pattern. polyester/spandex.

champion knit workout pants, size M, waist about 32" unstretched. Black with grey edging. Cotton/spandex.

unlabelled knit capri length workout pants, appear to match the champion ones above. in black with grey and light green edging. waist about 32" unstretched. Pockets.

Star Wars pajama bottoms, size large, waist about 30" unstretched. patterned with faces of Chewbacca, Yoda, a stormtrooper and Darth Vader on a navy background. 100% cotton.

Merona brand polo t-shirt, size small, in wide horizontal black and grey stripes. 100% cotton.

champion reversible racerback workout bra, black and grey. Small.

--darker grey-blue with white-green lace



Bags:

orange tote-style purse made out of recycled plastic. 17" wide, 13" deep. snap closure, brown interior fabric lining with zipper pocket on side.

so, bras

In recent months I have gone from being able to wear underwire bras for a few hours to rarely being able to wear underwire bras at all. I have many lovely colorful underwire bras that have not seen much wear, and I am hoping some of you might be interested in buying some of them, as I am broke and still looking for a job.

Sized 42G/44F, exciting teals and magentas and also some standard beiges and blacks, all with underwire of course, some padded, some unlined/mesh.

I am requesting $17 for one bra, $12 each for any subsequent bras, no shipping charge in the US lower 48 (I can look into shipping costs elsewhere if desired). These were all around $50 when brand new, so this is a steal!

Box o books cont'd

Last call for cheap books, kind of an eclectic lot, Shakespeare and Beatles and random SFF anthologies. Most of these are pretty well used, cover wear, etc. Let me know your zip code and I'll calculate media rate shipping from that and book weight.

Let me know before Friday night if you want any of these, because on Saturday they're going to Good Will.

For the Shakespeare, I am including publisher/edition for those who care; most of them are perfectly readable modern editions but I feel I should note that the "new hudson" editions were printed circa 1910 and while they have the same kinds of notes I tend to expect, they are visibly old. Merrills is 1910 as well, and Arden is good gracious, 1898.

jmtorres: Utena and Anthy kissing, Revolutionary Girl Utena. My prince has come. (utena)

coping mechanisms

So [personal profile] niqaeli and I found that two songs, which we had learned from vids, helped us greatly in not completely losing our minds during the third season of Revolutionary Girl Utena.

Whenever we found ourselves compelled to ask, "Why is there a train crossing on the penis balcony" or other similar questions, we determined that the answer was A Metaphor Is a Glorious Thing.

Whenever her efforts to set Akio on fire with her mind seemed inadequate, or there were suddenly a surplus of little red convertibles, or, randomly, a carrot coming out of Touga's head, it cheered us greatly to sing, Too Many Dicks On the Dance Floor! (too many dicks!)

In related news, it turns out what I thought was my season 3 Utena pack is actually an entire series pack. So my season 1 + movie and season 2 packs are superfluous. Would anyone be interested in buying them for like, I dunno, $5 a season + shipping? They're the old versions, not the new remaster versions, but they still go for like $40 and they're pretty bright and shiny (it is not like Utena is a monochromatic or dull show). ETA: CLAIMED.
