meara, you just haven't done the right consignment shopping. Kat took me way back when, and I scored some nifty stuff. My main interview suit apparently belonged to Mrs. Magic Jordan.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If you see someone drawing in a meeting, do you think they're not paying attention, even if they look up most of the time and make a lot of eye contact with the speakers?
I get paranoid about that, but can't stop making stars and spirals in the margins regardless.

I swear, I am going to give all of you L.A. and SF peeps my phone number, wishlist, and shoe size, and have you call or text me if you find anything good.

I worry about that, too, but it doesn't stop me from sketching outfit designs while I'm listening.

I've drawn a lot of coffee cups and water pitchers over the years.
All we have on the table are conference call phones. I have done some heavily modified pictures of attendees. I hope to never get busted on that.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
If you see someone drawing in a meeting, do you think they're not paying attention, even if they look up most of the time and make a lot of eye contact with the speakers?
I assume they're like me and need a controlled distraction so they have at least a hope of paying some degree of attention to the speaker.

Because books.

I draw stars, crescent moons, the back of elephants, and then these weird freeform blobs that I fill with little boxes and circles.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Zenkitty, I got the "current styles" thing, too. What poppycock! If I were interested in current styles, I'd shop at Ross.
Let's see...they're picky about what clothes they'll buy second-hand, they have jacked up the prices of what THEY sell...I'm guessing the hard core of second-hand shoppers are going elsewhere. I wish I'd had more ability to sell my clothes online before I moved. I had to keep the house in showroom shape which made me more loathe to conduct piecemeal Craig's List transactions. I ended up giving away loads! Jilli, do you sell via Craig's List or etsy or what?

Yeah, we're going to Etsy and eBay.

I sell via LJ, but I get an insane amount of traffic on my LJ. But there are also LJ communities for just about every type of fashion out there.
