I did not go to High School in the USA ^^^^ so instead of Shakespeare I had to memorize Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (Don Quixote): "All sorrows are less with bread".... and a few Bals:p

Came late to the game, but I'm here to stay. I am waiting for my 2nd Balenciaga: 2009 Anthracite Day.

In the Lounge since early Sunday morning (only yesterday.....but it sure seems longer, ha!) Thank goodness we are back to a normal mail day tomorrow!

A portion of what I memorized...and still remember because I :heart: it:

“Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower
We will grieve not
Rather find strength in what remains behind" [especially our Bal oldies]

First part the beauty of William Wordsworth - - - pink part LoveHandbags! :graucho:

Wishing everyone speedy deliveries~~~!

I give this one a try...so long ago, high school. But this one....Edgar Allen Poe seemed perverted enough to get this high schoolers attention.

Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered (the purse forum) weak and weary over many a quaint and curious volume of (Balenciaga) forgotten lore. While I nodded nearly napping suddenly there came a tapping....as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.....quoth the raven....nevermore (will I carry anything but Balenciaga )



Now I will look this up and see how close I came.

Here's mine (ahem, ahem)

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bal
I sure am a lucky Gal,
'Cause I have a bunch of you--
And my Forum Friends do, too.
When we cannot sleep at night
We read Shakespeare by lamplight, (well, CeeJay does--I read Dr. Seuss)
Brit Lit makes us think of Bags (what doesn't?)
'til our little eyelids sag.
Then we close our tired peepers,
Put our Bals back in their sleepers.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Lovely Bals
Aren't we lucky, Forum Gals (and Guys)?

Ok, I know--CeeJay is way more sophisticated (no surprise, there). But hey-- it's catchy!:laugh: besides, I blame CeeJay for my bad poetry. She started it.

I also had to learn Shakespeare. But I loved it:

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief (having bought a counterfeit),
That thou her maid art far more fair(and savvy) than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious (of her Bals);
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; (as it is fake) cast it off.

Okay .. now a "rock" version .. from the Guns N' Roses "Welcome to the Jungle":

Welcome to the addiction, we got fun 'n' games
We got everything you want, honey we know all the bag & color names
We are the BAL enablers finding what you may need
If you got the money, honey we will help you with your disease

In the BAL-jungle, welcome to the BAL-jungle
Watch it bring you to your kn-kn-knees, knees
I wanna see those pics please

Welcome to the BAL-jungle we work it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price you pay
You're leather connoisseur whose very hard to please
You can smell the fab leather but you won't get them for free

In the BAL-jungle, welcome to the BAL-jungle
See my, my, my, my leather sheen
I, I wanna hear you scream

The vert Fonce work I was getting through Vestiaire Collective had really scuffed corners, all the way through the edging :-( but at least they inspected it and I've decided it's not for me. still here though waiting for my black moto jacket :-)

Wow, I was excited for you to get the VF. I can't believe there was so much damage that was not listed in the description. I'm sorry to hear that. On a brighter note, congrats on your new moto jacket! I know you will rock it!!

I know I was so excited, they only offered €10 off ! It wasn't worth it with the damage. Yep the new moto will be great, I even owned up to my sister today; she's been telling me I have enough..... I have now :-) x
