Whatever.

What did she care about the names they called her? They didn't know her, perhaps they never would, and that was their loss. Not their only loss, not by a long way. She pitied them, as they wouldn't experience the magic, the worlds you could slip into between the pages. Glossy and crisp, scented with ink straight from the printer, or crumbling old pulp that sucked the moisture from your fingers as you turned each leaf. Super heros and their arch rivals, each villain wicked in their own way, each and every character flawed, some weakness to be found and exploited, and through which, their only hope of redemption.

She never could decide which it would be better to be, hero or villain. As she browsed the latest arrivals at her favourite store, flipping their plastic wrapped covers, searching for something, not knowing what, other than that she would know it when she saw it. The same conclusion as ever came to her mind, fingers walking through the copies, closing on the faded print in its shiny protective envelope, lifting it reverently from the rack. It wasn't the character that mattered, she would be every one of them as her gaze fixed on their antics, frozen in each square. It was the story itself, and the chance to be part of it.

Stuff in Stock has a new theme! Its all about the comic, the graphic novel, whatever you like to call it. It's always nice to be able to add a bit of your past, or your heros to an outfit, and this is a perfect excuse. Here shown is the : S u g a r : Puff Skirt - Vintage Comic, available at Stuff in Stock for L$75. Its MESH, a puffball skirt, with the fabric made up of a collage of scraps from vintage printed comics, from Dick Tracy to Superman.

Sundowners

The summer was in its autumn, the days still hot, nights still more or less warm, and each evening saw the flaming orb of the sun swell, turning red as it dipped into the ocean, gilding the world with warm pink hues of dying light. Each day they would head to the beach, and when the chance arose, they took to the sea on the yacht...

Rising with the dawn was easy knowing you could spend all day on the waves, friends and music, food and sunshine all along for the ride. The summer days were long, the seas calm, and only the coming of evening meant it was time to head for port, not yet for home. Calli thrived on the salt air, was adept after many years handling the yacht, and loved nothing more than spending her days this way, with her friends. As sundown came, and their yacht, the Kittiwake, eased back into port, the first chill entered the air. Still warmed by hours under the clear blue skies, all she needed for the evening was her cardigan... Oversized and comfy, still stylish, as it bore the design of the exclusive yacht club. Stepping onto the dock she pulled it on, wrapping it around her, but letting it fall from her shoulder in an accidental shrug she knew suited her well.

New from S U G A R at the Stuff in Stock event is this Yacht Club Cardigan. Its MESH, and comes in 5 standard sizes, from XS to L. Shown here is the cardigan in red, it also comes in navy. Looking closely on the second picture,inside the cardigan on the left you can just about see the reverse yacht club logo, an anchor and life buoy ring. I'm still in two minds about MESH. On the one hand, the sizes rarely fit my av well, regardless of the shape I use (and I hate modding shapes to fit clothes!). On the other hand, this is pretty awesome. After years of often infuriating flexi, or skin tight clothing layers, here we have clothing that looks like clothing. Its rumpled, it has odd angles, and it moves with you. This cardigan is available for just L$80. Follow the link below, and head up in the lift. The theme for this Stuff in Stock event is Nautical, so there are lots of items you can use to build a great look, none for more than L$80.
