    I am trying to work out how to do the same thing myself...run something for the love of it (but achingly unprofitable as such things tend to be) but write about it in a Middle Class Sunday targeted at Middle Class Twaddle lovers....and get paid.

    Ker-Ching!!!


    Can't you write about bras and fishnet stockings and stuff?

    You know, something that the boys can read as well. :D

    Oh Ha DE Ha....:D

    Having said that, I have sample lengths of fishnet and wide mesh (similar but more kinky) arriving tomo. Gort some good shapes waiting for it too.

    You never know, if the styles get selected, could be adorning wanton females falling out of a suburban nightclub in 7 weeks time.

    There's a joke in there somewhere. Possibly involving the word pu55y.

    But I'll leave it to someone else.

    You should do an accompanying transvestite range.

    It's not really girly but we do congregate here as Max is sooo Metrosexual.

    No measuring on here. ;)

    If you are skinny minny though, keep it schtum. He has 'issues' with slimness.;) He writes about it.

    How intriguing.

    Sadly, can't face reading through 54 pages to find out.

    How has this thread managed to survive to 54 pages of off-topicness? Is it because the title is so 'proper' yet dull, that the mods haven't (like myself) previously bothered to investigate it? Or do they join in girly chats?

    Re the fishnets, fc- is this really the mainstream fashion direction for a couple of months ahead? How interesting - just on legs, or elsewhere? Trying to imagine fishnet blouses or something - failing....

    Not if we talk about non-skinny ladies on the same thread. What fishnets do to flesh is NOT good._pale_

    Oh, you just need to read his blog, to appreciate his love for the fuller, fairer sex. Go on, you'll enjoy it, I promise.

    It's cutting edge, this thread, off topic is on topic, if you are prepared to think outside the box.....
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    You can't beat a bit of Middle Class Twaddle to make you feel better about things. ;)

    She's not 'London' based any more but sold up nice Georgian pile, 2 years ago, in Islington and bought a 43 acre farm on Exmoor. Luckily for her, she earns her living from writing....so the farm gave her something to write about...so earning her more ££££...to subsidise the farm and her expensive animal welfare habits.....so she had something to write about.


    Kind of relevant to Maxes thread.

    I am trying to work out how to do the same thing myself...run something for the love of it (but achingly unprofitable as such things tend to be) but write about it in a Middle Class Sunday targeted at Middle Class Twaddle lovers....and get paid.

    Ker-Ching!!!

    That would be indeed utopia. :cool:

    Of course the real issue is, how does one get ones diary/blog/mutterings into the right hands for consideration in the first place? I have my Sales and Marketing Director n the case naturally, but it seems to me to be far from simple...

    Written another three entries tonight, the "bank" was starting to become a little depleted.

    I'm not sure I have issues, I just worry about the thin ones snapping.

    Ok, I have issues... :o
