dragonlady7I've bought stuff from Stockingirl.com before. Cool stuff, funky stuff. Expensive stuff. Kinda can't bring myself to spend that kind of money anymore, now that I've found sock-dreams.com.
But still.
Stockingirl sends me newsletters. Whatever, I deal.
However. I noticed they were having a sale. ! A sale! $15 for 10 assorted random stockings, a "grab bag" of odds and ends they didn't have enough of to sell separately.
This sounded perfect.
You specify size, they give you whatever they got, at random. You can't pick and choose color or style. Fine by me! I want some random in my life. I want more color in my wardrobe. They'd surely give me something I wouldn't choose otherwise, and it would be fun to make it work, right?
So I ordered it. You know? Whatever! Sure! Live a little!
...
I got it today.
It is:
Ten pairs of identical nude stockings.
I can't even really express how disappointed I am. Am I crazy? They're really, really boring stockings. Not even reinforced heel-toe, not even a backseam, not even finished nicely at the top. Nothing. No features whatsoever.
And one has a run in it, before I even open the clear plastic package I could see it.
Ten pairs.
Completely and totally identical.
Am I right in thinking that this "grab bag" was falsely represented?
I mean, I know I shouldn't expect much of an odds and ends sale, but I was sort of hoping for... some odd ends?
So, that's it. I'm unsubscribing from Stockingirl and letting them know why. I'm just trying to think of a way to put it that doesn't make me sound like a whiny bitch. Yes, I know, i got the clearance rack.
But an assortment implies...
that there'd be more than one thing. Ten times.
What the fuck am I going to do with ten pairs of nude stockings? They're the kind that need a garter belt. Which is fine, I have one. But to get it out just for nude hose?
