Toot Toot! I’m tooting my own horn!

Yes, I am proud of the good lighting.

Not going to go overboard with the self-worship (as I, personally, kind of hate stuff like that)…but seeing as how I think I clearly deserve a shot of high self-esteem! might as well put my Xanga to good use.

Thanks, Ryan, for picking up my pictures!

These were taken when I was on my trip to Taiwan. Professional photography is big business over there, and offices often have small booths located in busy districts where young people can see sample photos and sign up for sessions.

I was at this mall in Taipei when I saw S-Girl’s little office. They are kind of pricey ($200 for my book of 20 pictures), but compared to a lot of other samples I saw, they are the best. It took 8 hours and about 400 poses, but it was fun (multiplied by 100).

These are only two photos, but you can view a few more (not all because I am too lazy to edit their size right now) at snapfish.com:

I don’t know how to use this thing, but I think all you need to do is click on the link and use your Snap Fish account to view photos. If you don’t have one, then you can make one.

Why Some Europeans Can Kiss My Ass…

Having been scammed by a particular Ebay Seller, other buyers who have been duped have resorted to sending each other emails about her suspicious behavior (i.e. not refunding money, and making many lame excuses about backordered items). One particular buyer did not find the email exchanges very helpful and he wrote:

 Yeah, I think Nicole’s greatest mistake was sending mass emails that did not include blind carbon copies, thus letting everyone know how many people are waiting for items from a wholesaler that has obviously made false promises to our Ebay sales person and letting everyone write to those waiting for their orders.

Never have I seen such ignorance on the parts of those sending messages to make Nicole look bad.
 
I am the winner of Item 6305621954 (Escaflowne DVD 1-8) which I won on June 29th.  You can bet that if I don’t get my item by the end of September, I’ll be leaving a very clear feedback.  Even so, I am NOT dissatisfied with Nicole.
 
You impatient people can’t accept that sometimes stuff gets backordered.  I guess no one has ever worked in retail.
 
Please remove me from your mass messages.  I don’t care to know just how ignorant some Americans are.
 
–K
 
Take note, please, of this asshole’s condescending tone and his use of the term “ignortant Americans.”
 
Naturally, this infuriated me and forced me to reply to him as such:
 
Is it really us “impatient” people who don’t understand that stuff gets backordered, or you who has a problem realizing that you were scammed out of your money?

And I hardly believe you have ever worked a day in retail as you fail to realize that retailers who are out of an item for over a month will give you the option of refunding you. I have never heard of a raincheck that was for longer than 10 days.

Is it truly us ignorant Americans who have a problem understanding the realities of this issue? Or is it you, the all-knowing Ebayer who has been waiting for 62 days and counting for an item, who is bitter about the fact that others have caught on to this scam sooner than you have?

Forgive us for trying to forewarn you about the Seller’s discretions. Had we known you were willinging giving your money away, we would have thought otherwise.

 
Seriously, who the FUCK waits 62 days for an item they bought off Ebay? Doesn’t that scream YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO GET IT, BITCH! But no, this fucker decided not to take my words into consideration and instead wrote back:
 
Thank you for proving my point.
Ignorant.
Couldn’t even leave me the fuck alone.

I used retail as an example because I work in retail and put up with the
bullshit of suppliers every day.  “Item is back ordered, wait longer, here’s
a cheap alternative, that’s backordered.  It’s discontinued.”  I’ve been
through it all and through it all, angry customers.

Tell me why my email account has to be bombarded with “updates” from MORE
unsatisfied customers.  I get enough of that 5 days a week!

You will not be notified when my parcel gets here or whether my money was
refunded.

Have a good one.

Ohhh did I really prove that Americans are ignorant, or that he’s just a childish dumbass who resorts to ADDRESS BLOCKING to resolve an issue? Will that get him his refund, or his item to him sooner? NO! That bitch is still waiting for his fucking DVDs, isn’t he? And he’s still a fucking non-Asian, European geek who most likely takes JAPANESE LANGUAGE CLASSES and dreams of his first girlfriend being a fucking GEISHA. Yes, I will have a good one, mother fucker.

America, bitch.
