That's right: they're gilt wooden framed mirrors, embossed with Missy Elliott's face, signature and the "RESPECT" clothing line logo; two of 'em, linked together by a pair of cloth straps.
They're way rad and one of the pair is going up in my office, but the other should go to somebody who'll appreciate it.
What'll you trade me for it? Barter only and serious offers puhleeze.
I'll consider "Dinner" a serious offer.
I'm in NYC, but if ya offer somethin' nice I'll ship.

I'm on for "dinner" as a starting bid.

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Monday, 27 June 2005 03:54 (twenty years ago)

I hear dinner, does anybody wanna raise that?
I'll consider this finished when it's off the page.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 27 June 2005 04:48 (twenty years ago)

I'll give you two mason jars full of vomit.

― Steve Timmons, Monday, 27 June 2005 04:50 (twenty years ago)

I'm gonna stick with dinner. NEXT.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 27 June 2005 04:57 (twenty years ago)

Were these just laying on the street or something?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 27 June 2005 05:02 (twenty years ago)

yup.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 27 June 2005 05:04 (twenty years ago)

where were you walking that you found those just lying there?

― lemin (lemin), Monday, 27 June 2005 05:30 (twenty years ago)

I like the minimalist aesthetic of your apartment.

― Leeeeee (Leee), Monday, 27 June 2005 05:36 (twenty years ago)

I am a minimal kinda guy.
These were outside an East Village shoestore; I assume they were discarded promos. The better to see you with, I said; now they're mine.

if i lived in nyc i would totally take that but no i live in maryland

I, too, am bound by geography...ridiculous find, though.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Monday, 27 June 2005 12:50 (twenty years ago)

These are great!

Is that green blanket over your legs? Or is that a table? Is it decorated with oven mits?

Is it for sale?

― Al N Wrench, Monday, 27 June 2005 22:49 (twenty years ago)

Ha! That "green blanket"/"table" "decorated with oven mitts" is decidedly NOT for sale.
That's my girlfriend!

Actually, what're you offering?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 06:04 (twenty years ago)

who's that resting their elbow on yr girlfriend?

― kit brash (kit brash), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 06:17 (twenty years ago)

Most likely, me.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 07:07 (twenty years ago)

one month passes...

Hey, "Whiney Whinegarten", you still offering din-dins?
Cause I'll trade.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Sunday, 14 August 2005 20:36 (twenty years ago)

How did I not see this offer before? WANT.

I don't know what to trade. Looking around my room I can glance a mini bottle of Jack Daniels, five Forget About The Sugar flyers, some Kano car stickers, and a Wimbledon programme signed by Maria Sharapova.

If none of these appeal, dinner if you're ever in London will be on me. Possibly at the all-you-can-eat-for-a-fiver noodle bar in Angel, but still.

all-you-can-eat-for-a-fiver noodle bar in Angel

okay that's somewhere i'm going to visit when next i'm in town.

― sean gramophone (Sean M), Sunday, 14 August 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

Lex, if you wanna pay for postage (bound to be steep), I'll mail one.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Sunday, 14 August 2005 23:08 (twenty years ago)

if 'steep' = less than a tenner, it's a deal!

― The Lex (The Lex), Sunday, 14 August 2005 23:25 (twenty years ago)

I'll buy you a beer, get you high and make you a mix tape. Also dinner. But you need to come to my house to deliver it.

― Ian John50n (orion), Sunday, 14 August 2005 23:47 (twenty years ago)

Where do you live?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 15 August 2005 00:44 (twenty years ago)

Still need to get rid of this...

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 04:13 (twenty years ago)

what? still? that last comic exchange is hard to match (beer, drugs and dinner - not much else one could ask for except sex).

― natedey (ndeyoung), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 04:22 (twenty years ago)

It was the "deliver it" part that slowed my roll.
Nobody wants to make this easy.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

five months pass...

Two of these panels decorate my office and I'm hangin' one in the bathroom. I'm astonished nobody ever really worked to get these off my hands; they're great!

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 26 January 2006 14:58 (twenty years ago)

It seems a shame to break up the set, doesn't it? I'd love to take one, though.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 26 January 2006 16:29 (twenty years ago)

Yours if you want it Tracer. Email.
