Jewelry and things

Saturday, I packed up my stuff and went out to the Snake Saturday festival. They have a small arts and crafts show, and it was very inexpensive and easy to get into, so I figured I'd haul a table and some jewelry out there and see if I could make any money... It didn't go as well as I had hoped.
( And here's why. )

( I'm willing to think it could be me... )

Anyway, the other thing is that I continue to have a large stock of jewelry available. I'm starting to put it online on Etsy, which is pretty cheap and easy to work with. I'm hoping that it's as easy to buy from as it is to list on, but I really don't know. There are only a few pieces up now, but I will be adding more as days go by. If you're interested, take a look at my shop. And feel free to let me know if it's my sense of aesthetics that's gone awry, or the rest of the world's. Knowing the answer to that question would save me a lot of trouble in the long run.

Poll of the day: virtue and merit.

Standard poll disclaimer: not all possible descriptions of human experience are represented by the answers given below. This is not hard science. It is not even social science. It is still a better-designed poll than half of the crap that Harris or Zogby put out.** Choose the best answer. If all answers suck equally, don't answer. Nobody's forcing you, darling.

[Poll #945207]

** Seriously, I took a Zogby poll the other day which asked the question "Can a woman be sexy if she is a size 14 or larger?", and the only two response options given were "Yes, sexy is about attitude, not appearance", and "No, appearance must come first". No option at all for people who thought that women who are size 14 or larger could actually have an appearance that was attractive. It was like answering "Have you stopped beating your wife?".

More Newage Sewage

This steaming pile of trendy crap, a newsletter for the 'consciously chic' came to my email address at the church. How tacky. The email was so awful that I had to go to the site, to see if I had somehow misinterepreted the nature of the thing being advertised. Mais non. It didn't change its story even when I gave it the chance to.

I felt dirty. You probably will too. I mean, on the one hand, it's nice that being vaguely attentive to the environment and spirituality is popular, but on the other hand, if you were in any way "conscious", I think you'd realize that "chic" is pretty much a racket.

EDIT: Bonus points: there's a "consciousness quiz" on the site, which purports to test your knowledge on matters environmental and spiritual. If you score too highly, i.e. you know too many answers, the magazine offers to 'reel you in and infuse you with a sense of style'. Gak.
