GenerationCedarchip Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Okay, so I took a look at the Magnolia Pearl site (warning - music kicks in as soon as you access the site!). What is this stuff? Is this Lisa Pennington's business? I had seen it referenced and was just curious about the fundie connection. I'd never heard of it before, but it looks like stuff that wants really badly to be included in Victoria magazine, but is just way too overblown for it.

JemimaPuddle-Duck Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Oh my gosh, I *just* went and looked at it before coming here. It's like Victorian clown couture. I actually like flowy, romantic, linen things, even though I cannot pull them off. Bit this stuff is just crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JemimaPuddle-Duck Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Ha! I remember when that place was talked about here, I went and looked at the pictures. Well. Just wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howl Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Well, I got just about worn out looking at those pictures, what with the models either overwhelmed by ennui of maybe they are zombies with a day job. THEN, I saw the prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defraudingjezebel Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 That kitchen gave me a serious case of the heebie jeebies. No kidding! It looks like a crack house that also happens to be haunted by some pretty wicked poltergeists. I kind of get the shabby-chic aesthetic but that just looks shabby-shitty. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjulibai Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 The looks is something like "coked out 1990s models go back in time to the 30s, live as hobos for a while, then steel someone's laundry that's outside drying, only to move into a hobo house to do a fashion show". 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurposingToGiveHeadship Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Never thought I would delurk in a fashion thread of all places, but I made the mistake of checking the site out and...one thing came to mind: (I'm a total n00b trying to post a picture here, please pray for my salvation if I screw up) I have an old, formerly white shirt that I just threw in the trash. Anyone interested? I'll make it a FreeJinger Special - Just 250$! Come on- "Buy used, save the difference!" Oh, and "Hi", everyone. :lol: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearMeRoar Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Wow! That's frightening! I need to go look through all of the wrinkled clothes that are stuffed into totes in my garage, to see what I can offload in the $300 price range!!! As an added bonus, after looking at the website, I am so fortunate to have Magnolia Pearl ads in my sidebar. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven Severn Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 snipped "Everything you see, and a thousand lovely things you don't see all convey." It conveys something, all right. :? For the record, "convey" is used this way no less than three times in the entry. In the previous thread about the house, an FJer with real estate experience explained that 'convey' is real estate parlance meaning that something stays with the house when the house is sold, such as appliances. I was like you and was wut until the explanation was given 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fascinated Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Checked out the fb page. I'm not convinced this isn't some sort of prank. Shows model wearing 'beautiful' grey sack. Commenter asks if it comes in other colours and what material is it? Like she'd be interested if the sack were, what, puce? It is utterly absurd!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSoNosy Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 So the ad for the house is saying that the filthy, moldy ceilings and walls, and the rusted tubs are that way on purpose? Um.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandruff Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 This is fashion? I think the model wearing the tomato cage and holding a bird on a leash looks like she was recently assaulted or just suffered a psychotic break. I'll stick with a blouse and blue jeans, thank you very much. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not even being snarky. Apparently Miss. Havisham had a secret child. Glad she got married anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bionicmlle Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 This reminds me of the new series Documentary: Now. Does Helen Mirren narrate the catalogue? God, it's so tortured it's a parody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
