Further Talk of Money...and generosity!

(Don't worry! This will be followed by a much sexier panty post!)

As many of you know, well, because I talk about it all the time, I'm pretty much constantly broke.

And live with broke-ass roommates. Who don't pay the rent on time. Or the electric bill. Let's hope the lights stay on!

 This, however, is not a post in which I ask for money. I think yesterday I talked about (this may have been in an email) how pissed off I got when someone called me a "money girl" - 


ARRRGGGGHHHH!




I really wish there was a way I could go back and see if I already talked about this...


Oh...I already did.


Nevermind.


ANYWAY, I'm still pissed about it! Yes, I love to shop. Yes, I have a lot of designer shoes and clothes. This does not equate to "money girl." It equates to "loves fashion!" 




In fact, part of the reason I'm broke is because of I love beautiful, unique clothing! It's not about being label-obsessed - I'd rather die than be carry some ostentatious Louis Vuitton handbag or other  symbol of wealth! 


Of course I enjoy having something new! Who doesn't?! But some some my favorite possessions are "found" objects - or surprises!

Examples:


This is one of my first panty-photos ever! See my sunglasses? I got them for $16 at Una Mae's. But get this! I went to my father's house a few weeks ago and gave me another pair - but they were Ray Bans! They fell off the head of a motorcycle chick while she was driving past! Surprise! 




Same with those cool white shades! They belonged to my friend Ava (former owner of the fabulous downtown appearing in lots of my photos) - I said I liked them, she gave them to me! Surprise!



Same for this amazingly cool wolf t-shirt - given to me randomly by my (usually stingy) beau! Surprise...and shock!

Naturally, he was justly rewarded! I love being generous and returning the favor - particularly in the form of gift boxes! He's getting - 

  Custom designed shoes! Much like mine - 




(note - I just put these on my sock auction but forgot to add the disclaimer that they're NOT for sale!)


Plus new pajamas:




As well as a few photos!



(And perhaps the extra sock photos from my slowest moving auction ever.)






And it's the BEST when you simply FIND objects! My computer has gone insane and the shortcuts on my desktop disappears - so no webcam today! But I wandered into one of the storage spaces in the gallery about an hour ago - not only did I find a stack of padded envelopes (for shipping panties, naturally!) but I found a fabulous neon pink t-shirt in my size!



But this is the coolest - I stayed up all night last night working on that dumb sock auction (THE LAST SOCK AUCTION I'LL EVER DO!) and was about to go to sleep - at 1pm! - when I got a call from my beloved aunt out of state. She told me to go to City Soles (I'm linking to these places because I know the owners and love bringing them new business!) - she was in town! And was going to SURPRISE me with whatever shoes I wanted! And when I was too sleepy to go and tried to reschedule, she showed up at my house with these:




Amazing!


Of course, the coolest thing of all would be this amazing lamp! It's over $6,000, made in France, and no longer available. I'm trying to commission a neon artist to make it for me - 


Love it!
