My girl makes jewelry all the friggin' time, has been all her life. She's got a trunk show coming up. If you're male and don't know what that is (I sure didn't) she's going to be showing off her latest jewelry at a store in Astoria.



Please come and buy some. If you can't make it, her store's online here. She makes really nice stuff, and if you buy it, she'll be happy and I'll get laid more than ever. If I get laid more, I get happier, I get happier, I write lots more better. Plus, if you buy this jewelry for your girl she'll get wetter than the Atlantic Ocean. It's a win-win situation.

I make no promises, but I'll try to stop by and support her (and you, by entension). Looks like nice stuff.

Alex, I have to work on Sunday, or else I'd stop by - her stuff is lovely. Thanks for the link - I already see a necklace I'd like, and her stuff is just my style too. Please let me know if she's doing any other trunk shows in the near future.

Are trunk sales similar to when guys sell CDs out of the back of their cars?

I don't even know. When she first told me she was doing one I thought she was going to be showing her ass at a club or something.

Here- from Wikipedia-
Quote:
A trunk show is a special sale in which vendors present merchandise directly to store personnel or select customers at a retail location or another unique venue. In many cases it allows store personnel to preview and/or purchase merchandise before it is made available to the public. It is a particularly desirable to have the actual designer present at the event.
I guess this one's particularly desirable. It's at a store, a little boutique that sells lots of handmade stuff.

Thanks for checking this out, guys. She's going to have food and wine and stuff on hand. I probably won't be there till the end, cause if I were to spend the whole day there I would never be able to reach far enough inside me to retrieve my testicles.

Oh, stop it - you'd love growing a pair of breasts. They're fun!

I wouldn't get any work done at all if that happened. I'd just sit and play with them all day.

Big bump.

The now-missus has had a whole bunch of shows over the last year but she's got a big one coming up at Cup diner in Astoria (near the Museum of the Moving Image) on December 2nd.



Stop by and buy some stuff! She's been doing really well- she's got jewelry in stores around the country now (Seattle, Atlanta, etc.) and we've got a work table set up in the house now because she's been doing some crazy metalwork.

Does she have gift certificates? I can see buying some of this stuff for friends, but they live out of state.

She doesn't, no, but of course she'll ship stuff anywhere through her online shop. She does custom stuff too, just send her a message through that and tell her that you're from the board.
