Being a Venusian for 12 hours...

...is not on my favorite things to do/be list. It's not the experience I wanted but maybe one I needed.

I have a close Sag friend who called me a couple of days ago. His company is throwing a Christmas party and the theme is the "1920's" so he had to go buy an outfit. Out of all people he could've called he chose me. His reasoning? You're a chick, you must be good with this. Dude, I have no Libra/Taurus influence..gtfo. But he is my friend so I thought I should give it a try.

I hate running around for clothes. I usually go in, get out and that's about it. Shopping is high in the list of things I'm not fond of. He comes to pick me up at 9 am. For the next 3 hours we search for shirts..I finally found one I liked and he loved so I was giddy. Then I remember we need pants and shoes and ties and everything and I literally had a mental breakdown.

I'm detemined to help the sag here so I pull out the heavy artilery and call my Aries Ex. The man loves shopping, he has excel lists of perfumes for every ocassion and stuff. So he notices the desperation in my tone and decides to meet us.

The next 9 hours were like a special level in hell. But seeing him at work is an interesting experience. His body literally follows the direction of the shops before he even sees them. He goes in, his nostrils flare, his pupils dilate..he smells and touches stuff. Fascinating. All along I can't help but feel inadequate and feral.

I showed him the shirt I found, expecting judgement. He goes "Pretty shirt..if you're a peasant or something". I literally was on the verge of crying lol. He was just poking fun at me..he found it acceptable. Or so he said to pacify me.

There was a point in this whole shopping session when we were on the escalator and he and the sag were talking ties and accessories and I thought about jumping head first. This can't be real life..can it?

Anyway, you venusian mofos or people with venusian influence or..fuck it...anyone with a flair for shopping and style ..I tip my hat to you. I have no idea how you guys pull it off. It was like the twilight zone for me.

Signed,

Feral.

Ahh screw it, my post got cut off again -.-

I always hit "preview" first because I don't have the patience to type again.

People confuse my "LET'S BUY SOMETHING ALREADY" impatience with entushiasm. So they feel pumped that I feel so excited for the clothes they pick. I will give my honest opinion but in my mind there's always a "I really fucking hope you pick SOMETHING ANYTHING and we can go away".

This reads as "she has such a high energy. I love shopping with her"

*hangs herself*

I'm shite at shopping for other people.

I'm really good with presents because I remember a lot of stuff mentioned in passing. Friends always have "wow how the hell did you remember that?" moments.

But clothes and stuff? Fuggedaboutit.

I'm shite at both 😭 At least you have a gift for gifting!
Going to try and craft some things this year as gifts...o god lmao PRAISE DE SATAN

Don't forget I have files on people so how much is a true gift and how much is me being creepy..

The line isn't clearly drawn.

But for shopping together.. it will take time, but I hate giving critiques..
Because I won't sure if it will fit on her/him or not. Everyone has their own taste in it.

Especially when it comes to 'Does it look fat on me??'... Ugh!

Oh I love that line.

I go "Twirl for me"
Then "Twirl the other way"
Then "Bend over and touch your ankles"
Then "Raise your arms and yell you're innocent"

By that point people realize I'm joking around.

I ask people if they like it themselves and if they feel comfortable with it. If it's something that screams something bad at me..then I will speak up. But even then, I might be in the wrong. If you love it, I'm right there with you.

I have a nice innocent puppy reputation to maintain here.

I can do DIY projects around the house..wish I could craft stuff. My dad is really good at it..I haz no artistic talent.

there's more to being venusian than clothes/shopping. if you really want to be venusian for a day you have a lot more shit you need to do. 😛

I was expecting one of you Venusian fucks to chime in and say that 😭

I feel Ands will make a new account just to post in this topic and laughs at me.

*Ands and don and tiz and rabbit reading this*

... I would LOVE to pull that prank on someone! Now that fires me up to do that the next time! MUAHAHAHAHAH!

It's HILARIOUS to see men bend over and touch their ankles

"Why is this necessary?"
"I follow a scientific method. Shut up and get down to it"

It's a pity it only works the first time. Then they wise up.

damnata can i get your opinion on something?

sure if I can help?

pls don't post pictures of outfits.

^You look bohemian chic dude. A lot like my Aries Sun/Pisces Moon friend.

I don't see the Scorpio in your clothes at all.

I love deep red. The color of wine.

Fox..

I assume this is the story of your life? (if so, it's mine too)

Posted by scorchedearth
so this is a thread to talk about what kind of clothes you like, damnata? colors too? 😐

anything to make the nightmare go away.

Oh the bohemian chic..that's addressed to elly.

I still haven't crept enough on Fox.

^Sag rising is awesome, almost ariesmoon level of awesomeness 😄

I'm blessed.

I remember that photo of the steak you posted and saying "Please don't notice that mess on our table" lol

You and the scorp are like rainbow leprechauns Scorps..so elusive.

I'm joking..the Scorps I'm close to also laugh a lot and enjoy banter. But the brooding ones need poking.

Hehehe Damny!

I am your polar opposite... I LOVE shopping! I am also the go-to shopping hit woman with my friends. One recently came to Auckland just so I could go shopping with her.
Not to blow my own trumpet too much, but I am good with colours and shapes - and - I am 100% honest (scorp merc) and I have those witheringly vacuous shop attendants spouting 'oh, that looks so good on you' stopped dead in their tracks with a single look.
Lastly, I buy on sale, hardly ever on full price... *Win*

Also, let it be noted, when I took that picture of the steak, it was after I artfully framed out an even BIGGER mess around the table. 😆

Libra Midheaven is all about crafting those image lies. 😛

Contrast. I like that.

What is hidden synastry? What do I have to google?

Of course I can! I will just need to save a few pennies for the airfare to Transylvania first 😛

you would hate being in the same city with me. I would dag your ass everywhere.... you KNOW I love to shop! I also worked retail clothing for 12+ years... i am not afraid to admit it i'm a shopaholic! 😆

My husband and I both have Venus as our most dominant planet. Shopping is our favorite past time - shopping and planning to shop. I ask him to get another size and comes back with five more suggested dresses. And, I kiss his sweet face.

*drag your ass.. dam typos

but I also want to mention what scorch mentioned. It's more than just the clothes... When you ever get to the US, or I make a trip to Vampire capital; I will teach you everything!!! 😄

😄

It's a dream to visit Romania/Transylvania, I WILL see that castle some day....

Sparkle city is my nickname for it! (thank Twilight for that SILLY notion!) lolol

me too, I love nice clothes and being dressed ... I am so ok with friends telling me what which colors clothes heels make me look good and tell me to wear this and that, but dont drag me to shopping. 😄

@Damnata -- I think travelling to Transylvania sounds more appealing than going shopping!!
