but then it would be cold. which is good for sealing the cuticles after conditioning and making it sleek, i suppose...

Is there not a Brita filter type thing
that you can put on your shower to stop the water being so mingy? Mine does exactly the same but as it's curly already it just goes horribly afro-like.
If there isn't one, someone on here should invent one but I want a cut of at least 30%...

Plese justify £20 tights to us
I'm not being sarky, I genuinely want to know if they're better than normal tights.

Maybe they come with eye-holes already cut into them so you can do a bank-job on the way home?

(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 11 Jan 2011, 12:21, Reply)

yeah they really really are
they are wolford and they have swarovski crystals on them in a little pattern on the ankles. i love(d) them.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 11 Jan 2011, 11:54, Reply)

I will never pay £20 for a pair of tights.
Not even if they have sparkly bits. They ladder too easily.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 11 Jan 2011, 12:10, Reply)

tbh
it is virtually impossible to ladder wolfords, they really are worth the money because you can wear them many times, whereas a £5 pair probably lasts 2 or 3 times before getting manky. i only managed it this morning because i caught them on a nail and ripped them.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 11 Jan 2011, 12:19, Reply)

Yeah, but if I did that to a £20 pair of tights, I'd be properly devastated, especially if I really liked them
Whereas multipacks from Primark, I don't care what happens to them.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 11 Jan 2011, 12:24, Reply)

i usually compromise
and get something like m&s autograph, which last really well and are about £4 - £10.

the wolfords were a bit of a treat from an outlet mall in the states; i bought about 20 pairs of fancy tights that should all have been about $300 for about 80% off. i have another pair that i haven't worn yet which have swarovski crystals all up the back; they look amazing. but they should have been about $1,000. seriously. WHO would pay that? but clearly people do, or they wouldn't make them!

That's actually insane
Like, wow.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Tue 11 Jan 2011, 12:35, Reply)

They do sound like awesome tights though
Wouldn't buy them though because not one pair of tights I have has survived. I even laddered my brandnew charcoal grey ones after five minutes :(

Not feeling too well
but seeing my child tonight so that's good. I have a great picture of her thrashing her new drumkit which I shall send you at some point.

I also have working turntables at home for the first time in over 6 months. This is a good thing. How are you faring?
