These are rather lovely too

magicmelons · 03/09/2011 22:39

And what exactly is for sale in this

thisisyesterday · 03/09/2011 22:39

oh i don;t know... i think it will appeal to men a certain section of the market

SeniorWrangler · 03/09/2011 22:41

Call me mean but I think that dress looked a lot better on the model (as probably did the bridesmaid dress).

You're slagging off a size 10 woman for not looking like a professional model? Shock

I don't mind being a killjoy on this one. Maybe you should all post photos of your board-flat stomachs, teenage tits and couture outfits.

tomme · 03/09/2011 22:45

that's not the original ebay swimsuit link by the way but still makes me laugh a the thought of what would happen when it gets wet

we aren't slagging her off... we're laughing at her nipples

there IS a difference

quite frankly if you post your nipples on ebay then they're up for discussion IMO

thisisyesterday · 03/09/2011 22:46

my grandma used to have a knitted swimming costume! and yes... what you think would happen did

tomme · 03/09/2011 22:47

If you post the picture on the internet its open for discussion surely, if I'd taken a photo of my neighbour or something and then posted it then that would be slagging off and certainly not up for discussion

Magicmelons- is it her ventriloquist's doll?

TartyMcFarty · 03/09/2011 22:49

I'm sure the swimsuit thread has gone now and I can't find a link to eBay, but there was a seller ... Erm ...modelling 'unused' swimsuits, hotpants, thongs etc. Apparently there is a market for such items

TartyMcFarty · 03/09/2011 22:50

(ask Pag)

magicmelons · 03/09/2011 22:50

Oh my god, i am certainly not laughing at that womans figure she is teeny with huge boobs that stay upright but braless in that dress is not the way to sell it, that's what we're laughing at are you that seller Garlic Grin Surely you can see its unflattering and who'd post a pic of their boobs on ebay? Jeeze next time you had an item to collect you'd have a chain of nutters lining up.

magicmelons · 03/09/2011 22:51

as my mother would say Lebof, i wouldn't like to think about the logistics Grin

SeniorWrangler · 03/09/2011 22:54

Fuck me, if I posted my saggy bits on the internet it would smash everyone's screens, I am sure.

SeniorWrangler · 03/09/2011 22:56

I could always knit them

MrsBradleyCooper · 03/09/2011 22:57

And how exactly is the All Saints dress vintage?

Cos she's worn it a few times? Do All Saints have a vintage sectorrrrr?

pigletmania · 03/09/2011 22:58

ROFL at all the pictures Grin

HellonHeels · 03/09/2011 22:58

I was going to list some (unopened and unworn!) tights today. Did some research on prices and found er this

MrsBradleyCooper · 03/09/2011 23:01

A friend of a friend used to buy cheap thongs from Primark, put them on, take a photo, and then sell on ebay to perverts for an inflated price Shock

LovelyCuppa · 03/09/2011 23:01

Oh my. Those do look rather vintage. But would be better in a bra I think.

SeniorWrangler · 03/09/2011 23:03
