Not only that, buyers are golden in Ebay's eyes even though they're mostly the scammers, or trouble makers which makes it hard for regular good buyers and sellers.
It's so stressful to sell! I always keep my fingers crossed that I don't get scammed. Grrr...another negative is when bidders don't pay within your specified time frame! Okay, end rant. Rolleyes2

Are you saying I get the catalog, because I'm old? Stick Out Tongue I'm surprised the rest of you don't get Venus' catalog. Body Central sends me catalogs too. I thought I got them, because both companies were targeting VS customers.

That's the reason I use hot rollers. It takes forever to curl my hair with a curling iron. With hot rollers, I cram the hair on the roller, then put the clip over it to keep it there. laugh out loud
I get the Venus catalog - although I keep asking them to remove me from the mailing list. shake head I remember ordering dresses from them maybe 5 years ago? It was only okay quality, so I pass on them now.

I love the way my hair looks when it's in loose waves. My hair guy did it for me after my cut. But I am way too lazy to bother curling or rolling my hair. Also, I feel incredibly clumsy with a curling wand so everyday I just wash and air dry.

Got the email just now... here's a bigger image of the towel.
One thing I've been scared of using at beachs are VS stuffs. What if someone runs up and jacks it? I highly doubt it and I'm just extremely paranoid, but I frequently leave my stuff and wander as far as 1/2 mile without it. I mean, who would want used stuff anyway shake head laugh out loud
Quote from GoHeels :
I never have a large wardrobe like the rest of you, so I try to limit duplicate colors. If I find a piece of clothing I really like, I frequently buy it in several colors though. I hate trying on clothes. If I find something that looks good, it's easier to buy it in a lot of colors than to try on something else. laugh out loud

I never had a large wardrobe until I started shopping VS!! Their clearance won me over when I was a college kid on a college budget! Now that my closet and drawers are literally spilling out, I think I've had enough for a while, but like you, when I find a style I like, I tend to buy multiple colors. This is my favorite of this season [victoriassecret.com]. I just need it in 4 more colors Faint Hoping it goes on sale during SAS!!

I also get Venus and Body Central catalogs. You're right, they target VS buyers, more generally, catalog shoppers.

I still haven't used my rollers, but I will get around to it this month and let you know how they work!

Haha yep. Or find non-existent reasons to return when you specify "returns not accepted" or some other BS!!

Either that, they work at VS, or the store started the promo early. Who knows? I went and got another MLB dog today!

Sorry it's not working for you. Frown I watched that video posted by Alvsy and tried it again and got the hang of it somewhat. I have beachy waves from it right now. I have fine hair that won't hold a wave or curl so I am anxious to see if they hold. Still need more practice tho. nod
i like the waves that come from it, but the sliding off is annoying for me. my hair may be too long for it actually.
i will have to work with it some more. maybe it will get easier. but it was definitely not as easy to use as the herstyler, and there are more joints on this one that my hair catches in (i lost a few strands bc they snagged). i probably should have just bought a nicer one. oh well!
Quote from GoHeels :
Which color(s) is everybody buying in the knockout bra?
i ordered in black originally but i like the blue. i'm not sure you'll like it tho - it's pretty cleavage-licious. super duper massive pushup - so it's not for those who don't really like pushups. i like the "wire" but wish they would release a demi version.

I was price-stalking the cross-back [victoriassecret.com] dress on MJR and there was one in 6 and 3 in 8 so I wasn't too worried. I checked today and ALL the VS dresses in size 6 and 8 are gone! I really wanted it for a trip coming up too.

ETA: I was just looking at that dress on VS's site and realized it is 17 inches from the waist in length, where the crisscross dress is a vaguely similar style, 19 inches from the waist, and I cannot even bend over in that without flashing people. Maybe it wasn't meant to be.

I agree. I think if it was pink I would be all over it. Now I'm not sure.

When I did it yesterday I snagged twice, when I did it today after watching that video the way I wrapped it did not snag. But I have fine hair and took smaller sections maybe that is why. And you are making me want to check out a Herstyler. Girly

nod I have a mini heart attack whenever I get an eBay message in my inbox from someone who's bought something. Luckily I haven't gotten any big PITAs lately, but as soon as a message pops up in my e-mail, it's like, "Great; what now?"

That said, most of the money in our joint checking account comes from eBay selling, so it's worth it for me.

Unrelated: I really want one of the Angels sports bras, but the color I wanted is OOS. Do I settle on another color or just wait for SAS?

nod a mini heart attack is what I feel too when I get a message from a buyer!

Since your bra color is OOS, just wait for SAS Smilie
After a yongepretender's post, I think I will buy my dress now, don't want it OOS!

It does look cheap, but I'm going to get it anyway. A cheap looking beach towel is better than no beach towel at all. laugh out loud
i was in store yesterday and i saw the towels already on the back of the counter. there were no signs up advertising the promo tho. maybe some stores are already selling them or maybe the VS employees are making purchases to get them early and listing? who knows...

You could always ebay it to offset some of the bra's cost. I should probably start doing that. Ebay is just a pita so I haven't bothered in over 2 years laugh out loud.
I do this for some GWP's I don't care for. It helps with me feeling better about how much I spend laugh out loud
