hey-oh, i love the Ye-ye thread. I was vintage shopping yesterday in belleville at the vintage shop(go figure) and i looked hard and long for a ye-ye dress, but i didnt' find anything that even remotely resembled one. it was very upsetting, all the dresses were far too long to be ye-ye, but i did get a lovely knitted dress of navy blue with sleeveless styling, patterned v-neck and little bordered pockets on the front, it was very Amelia Fletcher somehow. Last night i fell asleep listening to France Gall, after a long struggle, and dreamed of possessed witch girls who helped me murder a cult member boy and then when i was trying to save her sanity, she became a snake like witch woman and her purple tongue flicked on my arm and it burned me. but i think i eventually shook her back to consciousness after she threw the magic fairy down the stairs for the 3rd time, and the horse came back as a robot to assist her in saving the world. I was about to write a book about it all but it had a very improper scene in it i'm not sure would be healthful. So where did all these new kids come from? 1999 explosion anyone?? what up wit dat? Listen and gather round, tender young shoots! and pay an ear to Honey. Very soon, you'l learn to welcome his posts as the guiding hand of a caring mum who loves you. I did! Now take your scarf when you go out, you'll catch your death of cold. thanks for the quiz, tag. i had to call a neutral on teh question about clubs, as i am a shut-in, and hypothetically predict the sinister get together question, but i came out with a nine. i'm not sure what that means. but i love quizzes. Hello, hope you'll all excuse my gushing here, but i've just been listening to all my new live things, the NY shows and some radio show things, and i was just all excited about how amazing it is, and how lucky i was to be able to see them play. It's so beautiful when Isobel sings harmony in "Belle and sebastian" and her and sarah's string bit in the live "seeing othe rpeople" and when weechris gets down and funky on the keyboards, go man go! the wrong girl is a little lame, the words are silly, but the chorus thing is nice, when stu sings back up and they get their motown groove on, dirty dream style, I do enjoy that, however i'm not sure if it ttoally redeems the song, but it's pleasant enough. poupee de cire!!! say no more. *shudder pleasantly* I finally got my Tiggerjam for my birthday prez. i'm just relieved to have it in my hands. how could you all dis the gate like that? It's so lovely and sweet and SO true. and it has banjo in it, fer cripes sake, what more can you ask? the uh, melody of slow graffiti is sublime. that's all i have to say no more boring for you. (!) you may enjoy knowing i've been updating the b/s and wee world pages, the wee world is also looking for your input if anyone would be pleased to do so, any remarks on why isobel is groovy, to add to the obsessiveness. nothing like "isobel is God"---cos she's not! (shock, gasp, surprise) just anything nice, maybe you met her once, maybe you just think her voice is purty, anything that's not vulgar, cos i wont' be held be responsible for that sort of thing, you naughty boys know who you are! even little drawings you have or isobel related scribbles or oil portraits in gilt frame, or a velvet isobel, or life size models in clay. http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/4967/isobel.html (so you wont' have to ask me later)

From the Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language, new edition: twee (twe-) adj, Chiefly Brit. affectedly dainty or quaint: "twee writing about furry little creatures". (1900-05; appar. reduced from "tweet"{perhaps via pronoun "twi?}, mimicking child's pronunciation of "sweet")

and that is verbatim. i recalled soemone asking about the etymology of Twee, so i found that interesting. t genevieve, your last post had me rolling. "on your extrodainry genes that gave wee stu such a fine..err what is the term.. gluteus maximus?and i just want you to know that if Stuart Murdoch and James Van Der Beek,aka Dawson ever got into a fight,i would so be on Stu's side to kick the shite out of Dawson,wheee!) and Stuart David can leap into the crowd and give everyone purple nurples and Stuart Murdoch can lick his finger and touch his belly button and make that 'sizzzzzzle' sound and cry out 'DAMN i'm hot!it's all good,from the front to the back,and I get down with my badself' and then collapse in a heap and have to be removed by a stretcher.." I must admit i'm not sure what all of that meant, and i'm troubled by any mention of Dawson's Creek, as well as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" which is a crap show i have to admit but i digress....but I can attest to the quality of said gluteus maximus, with appropriate um, authority, and objectivity as well. i think if they win the Brit award, they should be on there live and play the show, and look all confused by the lights and stuff and stu would be staring at the floor, but during the bits where isobel doesn't play cello, she could be on a lifting platform wearing a ye-ye dress and go-go boots and glittery fake eyelashes, and go-go dance like Edie with the Velvets. that's what Jess and I have decided anyway. Oh, and who is Billie? do we not have her over here in the states? we have Brittney spears, thought, at least i think that is her name. Thankyou Michael "cheeky rake" Barrett, for the lovely imagery of isobel getting her groove thang on with pants halfway down her arse infront of a lycra dancing line. Yum! Next I assume we can see Stuart and wee Chris with adidas track suits and 50-pound gold chains, smoking Philly blunts in a jumping street machine filled with jheri-curl honeys. Mackin' it! sarah m, a woman after my own heart: hey all, i cannot seem to get 'the gate' out of my head. isobel has such a mesmirizing voice, its so very beautiful. when i saw b&s, she looked like a doll!.......... isobel dolls anyone? ....actualy y'all can see the isobel doll, very soon arriving at the wee world, get ready. I'll have jess pick up some more and i can sell them to gullible obsessives for exorbitant prices. mmm....fraud.... I'll stop here before i harm anyone. lesleyjo 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@majordomo.net".
