annie24 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Omg, it IS like Netflix for clothing! Why scant this be in Canada??? Try Le Tote or Rent The Runway. They might have clothing rental there too - I don't know. Link to comment
annie24 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 I currently have this dress at home. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I wore it once so far. I might wear it again. I think it might need a belt. Apparently, the model isn't so sure about the dress either, she looks upset. Link to comment
luminousone Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 She does look worried! How funny Before I read your post I was thinking it needed a belt too. But pretty colors! Link to comment
petite Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Her legs are so not proportionate to her body. Photoshopped clearly, lol. I hate when they do that. Link to comment

Applewhite Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Annie, do you know exactly how Gwynnie Bee works? I'm wondering what they do when I order a dress, wear it, send it back. Do they clean it then send it to the next customer? Link to comment
annie24 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Annie, do you know exactly how Gwynnie Bee works? I'm wondering what they do when I order a dress, wear it, send it back. Do they clean it then send it to the next customer? Yes, they dry clean it between customers. They also include instructions on how to wash (or if a garment is dry-clean only) if you do decide to wear it a few times before sending it back (or buying it). Unlike Netflix, you can't rank your queue. You pick out at least 20 items (I have 37 right now), and then you get whatever is available, so it's a surprise each time. That makes it hard, for example, if there is a particular dress you want to wear to a certain event to plan for it. Link to comment

I feel like Target's models are especially photoshopped and poorly, by someone who used MS Paint. (White splotch on crotch...) link removed Link to comment
faraday Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Try Le Tote or Rent The Runway. They might have clothing rental there too - I don't know. I checked them out. Le tote has some pretty awful feedback...so I'm going to skip that. Lol And Rent the Runway looks awesome! But a bit too fancy for me- they rent things out per item (so $35-90 per dress). Not a lot of options in Canada. Hopefully someone comes up with something like that site you're using. Link to comment
annie24 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hey guys, guess what? I went on a date, lol. I've also removed more body hair, but I'm guessing you want to hear about the date. I went out with "Benji." He's 32 and new to the area. He's cute but also 2 inches shorter than his profile (5'7" instead of 5'9"). We had a nice time. Conversation was easy overall, we kind of work in similar fields, but different enough that there was a lot to learn, so we had a lot to talk about. He's very mellow and laid back. Downside: he's just here for the summer for work and is moving back to his home base 6 hours away in the fall. I looked at his profile again (I must have missed it or not cared the first time I read it), but he's only looking for new friends or casual dating. I told him I had fun and told him to call me sometime. So.... we'll see. I didn't feel crazy chemistry, but we did have a lot to talk about, and given our fields and interests, it's good networking I guess..... Link to comment
annie24 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 on a totally funny topic, my friend has 2 sons and the youngest (about 4) is really into Barbies and making clothes for the barbies. Which I think is cool because his parents aren't forcing him to play with trucks, they let him play with whatever he wants. Anyway, in the last week, Ken got 2 Barbies pregnant and her son has been making maternity dresses for them now. hahaha. Ken needs to get a snip snip. (Turns out his kindergarten teacher was pregnant so I guess he learned from that???) Link to comment
BigKK Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 annie how do you know he was 2 inches shorter? Was it that obvious that you could tell? Date sounded OK, good practice if anything Link to comment
annie24 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Well, I'm 5'7" and I had to look slightly down to look at his eyes. I was wearing flat shoes too. Yes, nice practice date, lol. Link to comment

Oh okay, fair enough. Damn liars! Would it be awkward if you called him out, or is that just a mental note you make sort of immediately? I'm going to think of a way...perhaps an app to remove these lies from our lives. Some kind of scanner and ruler, that you take a selfie with and measure it, perhaps a laser? Lasers are always good. It'd have it on your profile.. "Scano Verified" Link to comment

But then again, height is objective. Men over 6 feet tell the truth about their height. That's what I've found. Men who are 5'11" round up as well. Link to comment
browneyedgirl36 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hmmm...I sometimes wonder if people actually KNOW how tall they are. I mean, I get that height is way more of a thing for men than for women (in the sense that men worry about it more because some women are EXTREMELY picky when it comes to height and won't even give a glance to someone shorter than a certain height). I, for example, thought I was a certain height for years. It's on my driver's license, on my medical paperwork, etc. I never questioned it until I was talking to my mom one day and realized that she's only barely taller than me now -- almost eye-level. She had been taller than me for a long time, by several inches, so I asked her about it. She told me that, due to advancing age, she had "shrunk" a bit, but she offered to measure me. She did, and in fact, I was two inches taller than I thought! My driver's license reflects my height at age 16, and I just assumed I hadn't grown! So...you just never know...he might just have estimated his height. Still, it's probably more likely he fibbed. Link to comment
Fudgie Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I can see why someone would be off by 1-2 inches with height. It's not like most people measure themselves and unless you've been diligent about going to the doctor, you're not going to have a current measurement or anything. I'm 5'7'' too. I prefer guys my height or taller. Link to comment
annie24 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 ooh, a first! A couple on OkCupid is looking for a woman to date and they liked me, lol!! Link to comment
annie24 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 2 for the price of 1! lol!! I went out to dinner with my friend charlene.
