the box images showed a blue one...but then i looked at the box later and there were other images. i didn't look inside turned out pink.

I don't mean i accidently acquired a lamp, "as in i was walking in the woods one day and i saw a pink lamp and took the opportunity" kind of thing. i mean the more "i meant to get one colour of lamp, got another".

oh a charity shop, yeah i've given old clothes to them places before, have yet to see anyone wearing them mind but it's the thought that counts eh.
evil frat boy sounds so much better than evil fat boy. I'm not sure if any Fraternaties exist in Scotland, i don't really know much about them, other than they're some freaky cult thing students do when they get drunk or something.

I don't see why not. I might wear it if it wasn't for the fact that I always wear my wolf and raven medalion (Which I really need to get cleaned one of these days).

If you're well over six foot, you can get away with more femme stuff than a little guy can.

Lolwut? It's a triskelion, an ancient Celtic symbol (no relation to Wicca… I've seen them at Bru na Boinne which is 5000 years old)… is it really associated with whips, chains and flagellation! :o


Nercer - wrote:BDSM? It's a ancient cultural and religious symbol! WTF?


In the novel "The Story of O," the triskelion is used as a symbol for a particular group of very, very kinky people. It was, therefore, only natural that real-life kinky people would come up with the idea of using the same symbol to represent themselves.

Tokos wrote:Older than Wicca & BDSM, people.


I'm not entirely sure how anything could be older than BSDM. Older than using the triskelion to represent it, certainly, and older than specific modern-day interpretations, sure, but I'm pretty sure people have been having rough sex and bossing each other around since the beginnings of humanity. ;)

I've seen a lot of Pagan men wearing jewelry like that, usually in earrings, but some as pendants, belt buckles, buttons, etc. Don't worry about it, do what suits you.

As long as you don't buy one that looks like it came from one of those 25 cent machines your fine. I've seen people get away with pink shirts/ties and no one cared so I doubt wearing something like that would register with most people.
