oh i'm sorry! someone already posted about the breast cancer thing...i hadn't sifted thru all of my mails and therefore probably broke a cardinal rule of "replying to mailing lists". i'd forgotten to add my 2 cents to the underwear debate anyway...i never never match. i wear coloured hanes her way undies..hi-cut briefs..i guess that's kinda bikini...and some sort of satiny type bra. i feel violated now that you all know that. :P oh the horror! heatha :) http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palms/4842 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Blimey don't you kids never sleep? Hello. This is only my second mailing to this here listy, but already I feel welcomed into the bosom of something charming and slightly scary. Good work. Azrael: I'm a Whalley Ranger, me'dear. And oh no, you caught me out. Where was I at 8am any day? In bed where I belong, naturally. Saw some snow though; went to my mum's to be fed and she lives in the middle of nowhere near Stoke (about as near to nowhere as it's humanly possible to get, apparently), and there was drifts and everything. Pardon if, blah blah, previous topics, blah blah, but is anyone familiar, and hencewise in love with, Nick Drake? 'Northern Sky' makes my very hair sing. And 'Black Eyed Dog' makes your bones want to get out of your body. Beauty, tragedy, magic, and his sister was in UFO (the telly series, not the ROCK band) in a purple wig. Can't say fairer than that. I think longjohns can be perrty sexy meself, especially the kind with a bum flap. I used to wear a pair as proper trousers and I was never short of offers, or threats either. Cheery cheer all, Gazzoid. On MY stereo now: Dr Baker by the Beta Band. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the 411
by Tara Widmer 14 Jan '99

14 Jan '99

Hallo listees! my name is Tara and it's been a long time since I've written anything, so most of you probably don't recognize me and those who do probably didn't miss me anyway:-P. but! alas, I have just come back from vacationing in Britain, and an otherwise ill-advised trip was made more worthwhile cos I got to attend the one and only Big Bash in Brighton Sinister Meetup! <crosses arms and grins smugly, feeling the jealousy of non-attendees. Or something.> It doesn't look like anyone's dished the dirt, so here you go~ the result was not unlike a United Colors of Benetton poster, with representatives from the England, America, Finland, Scotland and, erm...the U.S...and oh yes,...yet another American showed up...hm. Between the 800 of us, can i admit that I'd felt somewhat apprehensive about going in the first place, afraid of encountering a clique of people who already knew each other and would laugh at my bad haircut, but those fears ultimately proved to be even more ridiculous than my hair! Everyone (ok it was a small gathering) proved to be absolutely lovely... poo to you if you didn't go! A goodlooking, interesting, friendly bunch who can manage to drink copious amounts of alcohol and still walk straight!!!! (this excludes myself, of course, the boring lardass who was out cold after one bacardi breezer.) It was a pleasure. Our group, convening in a pub, even attracted a new member - one "Wendy from Liverpool", the Drunkest Woman Ever, who did us the pleasure (?) of singing many a Catatonia tune. Anyway, a big shout out to everyone I met, I owe you all about 4 rounds of drinks which I fully intend to stick to next time I visit Brighton - which in itself was a treat to see, a lovely city, and I can't wait to go back. Special props to Jamie for organizing the whole to-do, I crown thee Stud of the month for your efforts! and apologize that I didn't say a proper goodbye as i meant to... hehe, when fatboy slim calls, one must dance... :-) In related news, whilst in England I stayed in a dispicable Youth hostel in Holland Park for the first couple days, until the Dec. 28th or so. My last night there, I was reclining in the lounge and an indie-type guy walked by clutching a few Cds. Lo and behold, they were everso cleverly arranged in his grasp so that one could see even from a couch across the room that he was listening to "Modern Rock Song EP" by you know who. There's me, sat wearing a Study at Stow t-shirt under my sweatshirt and on the verge of saying something, but afraid my just-out-of-the-shower, disheveled, unibomber-a-like appearance would frighten away said hipster...(excuses, excuses) *sigh*...anyway, was that anybody on the list?? I half expected to see you at the Brighton meet... And the New Order AllyPally show, aka A Total Waste of $84, was where i met a boy who decided to hold me responsible for everything America has ever done wrong. Unable to convincingly pull off the "No, I'm actually Canadian" spiel, this young lad concluded his anti-American tirade with, "and they don't even appreciate good music! i mean, have you even *heard* of like, Belle and Sebastian?" well you can see where this lead... 20 minutes later and it was all happiness and love, our common love of Glasgow's finest managing to bridge the international/socioeconomic/political differences separating us thus far...ahhhh... So that's the story i'm sticking to! Happy new year etc. tata, tara +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

My >own legion of sadness comes from this association with B&S--happiness. I >think that's why they make music in the first place. > Yeah, yeah, I know exactly what you mean, but but but!!!! There's a really good way of looking at this as well. If listening to Slow Graffitti totally churns your head at the moment, because you associate it too much with time passed, that means that song is burned into your head, it's part of your memories of that time. And, hopefully, in five year's time, you'll listen to it and be totally transported back to your bright sun shining/car driving/wind driving xmas break of 1998/9. Which is a lovely thing to happen. I do it all the time, there's loads of records that are really heavily associated with certain great eras in my life, and even now, old and decrepit and revolting as I am, all I need to do is hear, say, 'Strawberry Wine' by My Bloody Valentine and I'm back there again at THAT PARTY when I was 17 and we sat in the garden at dusk and we got drunk and I snogged... Enough. It was just totally magical stuff at the time, you know when you're 17 and the whole fucking world is in technicolour and everything, your emotions particularly is so fucking VIVID... ...and the ability to relive it at will is just... just, you know? Then he said: >Has anyone wanted to tell someone honestly how much they mean to you? But >you didn't for the reason it might sound silly, or sad, or strange? I've just discovered that I should have done exactly that with someone two years ago. Great. Happy new year. Life pisses in my soup once more. What's all this about Hefner bloke doing a solo gig next week? Where's the Poetry Cafe? Is it a private party? Can I come?

'What We Did On Our Holidays'!

I've never heard anybody sing like that in my life, it's just so totally perfect, totally pure, clear... I think 'angelic' is the word I'm groping for. And does anyone around here like John Martyn? I don't think Belle And Sebastian are going to win a Brit. Time for RIsing Damp.

Sinister: voyeur's paradise!
by rebelstrange＠ldd.net 14 Jan '99

14 Jan '99

nother day, another annoying post! lucky you's. Hello to all the new listees, big hugs, i wont' name you all but you were very polite and i just had to say something nice. it's hard being the new kid in class. boo-hoo! so lonely. Sorry if i traumatized anyone with that corrupted version of we rule the skool. you can all punish me if you will, for being naughty. i dont' usually do things like that, but.....And i'm glad to know someone else was as confused by the song as I have been. Anyone have any ideas?? I think we all feel a little better nwo that we've had a nice kiss and a gold star from mummy, wouldn't you agree? THE ANNOYING BIT! i had a b/s related dream last night. bear with me. I was staying at where my gramma and grampa used to live, in their house which has a lot of stairs by the way. and someone called me saying belle and seb were staying there. I think it was Jess. but Stuart M had decided to stay home in his warm bed rather than trek to the cold midwest for whatever silly reason. i think they talked about being in chicago at one point. but they had a big bus in the backyard, it looked like a Barbie camper cos it was all pink and blue and had folding-out closets, and chairs in it and stuff, and i thought itw as really spiffy. I think stuart david was there but i didnt' really see them often cos i was embarrassed and i pretended to be involved in watching mst3k or playing with my drawings in folders. once i was on the stairs mussing with some papers, when Isobel came up the dining room way doing something, she didn't konw i was up on the stairs and i just peeked at her and she adjusted her clothing, it was scarily close to being naughty, but not close enough. I went back downstairs and into the living room as she passed by but i acted like i didnt' ntoice cos i was too afraid to talk to her. her hair was like in the video and she wore something in spring green. then they all got on the bus and were preparing to leave. i looked out the window and saw they were playing instruments inside the bus, there was akeyboard all set up in it and isobel was pounding away on it, and chris or someone was playing with sound equipment. I had a thing that i was going to mail to isobel but i decided i would give it to her before they left, so i ran to get it and wrap it up in bubble wrap, but by the tiem i got out there the bus was pulling away, and it was cold outside, so i just pressed my nose against the glass like a puppy and watched it drive off. (boo-hhoo!!) i know you're all crying right now, i forgot to bring tissues. So now you see, even in my dreams i am a creepy nerd. ugh! You;re all lucky because i'm wearing good underwear today. btw i dont' like the word panties. but i don't like the word bra either, i prefer the entire name. I'm obsessed with lingerie so this is a good thread for me. if i were rich i would buy out victorias secret and all those places, but they're too damn expensive for me now. I also like old nightgowns and garter belts and things. right now my underwear are bikini type black leopard print with little straps on the sides and the upper underwear is black lace underwire demi i guess that's the kind that is supposed to push up or something, or you wear them if you have a low neckline, which i dont' , i have a big sweater on cos it's flippin freezing outside. but i still feel feminine on the inside!!! awwww. oh and my underwear have never matched and i'll be shocked if they ever do. Last night i wore a big, lacy gramma nightgown to sleep in, it's long and buttons all the way up and has a big ribbon on it. very very sexy! Oh, and when I was spying on isobel in my dream, she didn't have any underwear on top. curiously enough. But even in my dreams, I have a censor working overtime, you'll be glad to know. *a million brows are wiped* Sneaky Jo http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange No bachelor has ever experienced such desolate loneliness as does the spinster; for the bachelor is a man, and the older spinster but a male-like woman. --Dr. Joseph Tanenbaum, _The Riddle of Woman_, 1936 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

wearing bras to bed may promote perky breasts, but there's some evidence that it can also increase chances of breast cancer. it seems that bras (particularly ill-fitting ones) can potentially cut off the flow of lymph fluid that frolics just under the skin. this juicy stuff is in fact responsible for carrying lots of cell waste -- bad, toxic stuff that can be concentrated in the breast tissue by the pressure of a too-tight bra. so make sure they fit, women! and, well, it's never a bad idea to spend some time without one on. check it out in DRESSED TO KILL, by sydney singer. now that i've either disgusted, frightened or bored most of the list, i'll add that i hate the word panties, but i'm prone to using it anyway. however, i'm always up for a discussion of undergarments, by any name. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: falling softly, softly falling....

.....but rain not snow. and i've probably misquoted that anyway. i'd like to appeal to the angels of precipitation, to stop all this rain. i'm getting pretty tired of it. i shall have to write to god, and then all those naughty angels will be in trouble. yeah, that'll teach them to play tricks on us. all this rain, they must be taking the piss. i'm sure i'm due some snow. and ice. and sleet. and maybe a decent power cut, too. with candles, and people panicking. that'll do me. thankyou charlotte h for the curate's egg. i always thought it was something much harder to understand. perhaps i am cleverer now than a year ago.. now, to the real business. undergarments...cynthia s mentioned the supreme Marilyn Monroe, and as i am the expert concerning this lovely lady, i can confirm that she did indeed wear her bra in bed. i'm happy to confirm any other things about the lovely Ms. M too. and if i don't know, i'll make it up and you won't even know. bonus, or what? longjohns: when in a person's life do they think 'now is the time to start wearing longjohns'? because i can't imagine anyone wanting to, so how does it happen? i might be wrong though, it may only be me who finds the prospect of them wholly unattractive. i don't know any welsh swear words, i feel that i have failed somehow...incidentally, is anyone from cardiff university here? mao tse-dung kicks ass alix.x ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "No, Patrick," Luis says. "They were . . . broiled" It's silent in the boardroom as I contemplate this, thinking it through before asking, finally, "What's 'broiled,' Luis?" "I'm not sure," he says.
