Devo nowhere seems to sell decent girls skate shoes/clothes these days! Eastbay and CCS both used to be awesome but Eastbay only stock ed hardy etc. now and CCS seem to be phasing out all their girls stuff. It’s impossible to get a pair of womens etnies anywhere!!
Any chance the Boardworld store will be stocking some girls stuff in the future? I’d rather give my money to Boardworld than to some proxies in the US!
Women’s etnies were so popular and every store stocked them a few years back! I’m a big fan of skate shoes and have resorted to buying men’s
me too, and then I just put pink shoelaces in them!
yeh the last pair i bought was a pair of mens globes. Used to always get DC’s but the quality of the womens ones has really dropped over the past few years (as well as the range). A pair of DC’s used to last me a year of wearing them nearly everyday, now I’m lucky to get 3-4 months before the white coating stuff starts peeling off!
Extra sucks not being able to find decent girls skate shoes cos skate shoes are perfect for me to wear to work!
Does your job involve skating?
Does your job involve skating?
funny you should say that, I actually just picked up a heap of skate boards that got donated to my work.
Devo that I thought eating take away pizza was an awesome idea last night after a cocktail session!! Now my stomach it telling me it was a horrible idea.. And feeling soooo seedy!! but on a less devo note.. No hangover!! Head is totally fine!! (apart from the usual blonde-ness that is )
Another domestic devo by spaz.
For months I had a leaking water pipe in my granny flat.
I had capped it off and had no cold water for the last few weeks; then yesterday decided to fix it.
Before knocking bricks out of the exterior wall to access the pipe, I removed a tap inside to see if I could access it there - I couldn’t, so went to work on the exterior wall.
All fixed nicely, I was pretty proud of my work.
Wandered up to the front of property and turned mains back on.
Strolling back; I threw the ball for the dog and pulled some weeds from the garden. Eventually getting back to flat, I double check no leak. No leaking - stoked.
Went inside to find I hadn’t put the tap back on and a fountain of water was pouring out of where the fixture should be, the floor covered in 10cm of water.
Luck on my side (like when I tried to burn down the house), the toilet door was left open which protected my bed from the full force of the water.
It did take out the power, the water being aimed beautifully at a live power outlet.
Only one (of 2 big rugs) was soaked.
My flat finally got cleaned. Evidently it was needed after I lifted all the flooring.
And the most special of the week award goes to…....
Devo i woke up feeling sooo sick.. I managed to not get a bad flu through all of winter, and now at the busiest time of year at work.. I’m sick as a dog.. Hot and cold sweats, and my throat feels like I’ve swallowed a thousand razor blades and chased it down with some hot coals.. And i was totally fine yesterday… :(
My solution to your kind of sickness is to gargle Black Sambuca. Trust me! You will feel better very quickly and there is even some pharmacological science to it.
Also - honey. Honey is amazing.
Yeh i have the medi-honey at home.. I’m having,it in my tea and eating a spoonful,of it when i make the tea hehe! I’ve run out of my difflam throat spray, the forte one is amazing.. (in not a fan of their antiseptic gargles as my tongue goes numb.. But the spray has a long tube so you can spray it directly on to your throat! ) ill get more on my way home
