Because we don't have enough meta threads.

This Saturday and Sunday marked ILX's first official Girls' Weekend Out (Rageously) (aka GWOR). We spent the entire weekend getting drunk, going shopping, and TALKING ABOUT CUTE BOYS. Don't you wish you were us?

not at all. the way you typed it makes it sound like you had fun, though. I wish you all the best.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay, I am speaking from envy, I do wish I were one of you and I'm sorry that I posted that first thing so quickly.

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I have no regrets.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:51 (twenty-three years ago)

what did you drink what did you buy and who were the boys???

― minna (minna), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:51 (twenty-three years ago)

We went to Delias; we bought cute super cheap clothes. Buy one get two free policy. I bought argyle socks (hello Geeta!).

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:56 (twenty-three years ago)

WHO WERE THE BOYS? DID YOU TRY TO "IM" THEM?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Is GWOR anything like GWAR?

― Amateurist (amateurist), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:58 (twenty-three years ago)

WHO WERE THE BOYS? DID YOU TRY TO "IM" THEM?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Shit -- busted! They were using my cell phone as an AIM weapon!

― Jen (nstop), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I do wish i were you nycilxchixors.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:01 (twenty-three years ago)

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I have nothing but respect and envy for the nycilxchixors.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:04 (twenty-three years ago)

But Nick don't you ever sleep?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:08 (twenty-three years ago)

i just saw you went to delias. I used to work there but there was only one retail place out in jersey. is there one in nyc now?

― That Girl (thatgirl), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:09 (twenty-three years ago)

No Mary - I am living my life on E.S.T. in an attempt at ingratiating myself to the nycilxchixors.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't you wish you were us?

(do not answer if you hate me us)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:17 (twenty-three years ago)

We went to Woodbury Common. We also wanted to go to Mistui Mart (Japanese shopping) but, duh!, it's Bergen Country, not open on Sundays!!! We perved on a young policeman. He told us to "pull over" (swoon). He had an accent like Elvis.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:17 (twenty-three years ago)

JBR on Jersey boys: "They're soooo... working-class! And earnest! And they all love Springsteen so much! It's cute!

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:23 (twenty-three years ago)

It was a very cross-cultural day. We ended up in Crown Heights getting lost after dropping JBR off.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:25 (twenty-three years ago)

A sort of indie "Sex and the City" huh?

― gazza, Monday, 3 February 2003 05:27 (twenty-three years ago)

(JBR was perving on the Jersey boys crossing the street near Mr. Policeman.)

And then there were the pervs Mary, Felicity and I witnessed mistaking the parking lot in commerical district of DUMBO for some kind of Lovers Lane.

― Jen (nstop), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:28 (twenty-three years ago)

How does one pronounce 'nycilxchixors' and please don't say 'en-why-see-eye-el-ex-chix-ors' because it's not nearly as sexy as the other possiblities

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:29 (twenty-three years ago)

nice ill x chiXors.

― rainy (rainy), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Nih-sill-ix-chixors.

Kinda like Mxyzptlik (sic, I think, as if you can tell), but with better hats.

It'd be better as "NYCILXORCHIX", though. Nih-sill-ix-or-chix. Sassy.

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:37 (twenty-three years ago)

NYLCHIXOR? (NIGH - EL - CHICK - SORE?)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Now someone just needs to write a tune that starts with somebody yelling THIS ONE'S FOR THA NYCILXCHIXORS through a fat hall reverb

I like rainy's take

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:47 (twenty-three years ago)

There was some freaky shit going down in the car parked by the Brooklyn Ice Cream in DUMBO. Nice view though.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:48 (twenty-three years ago)

You could just say 'cool people' or something.

Neiman Marcus:

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 3 February 2003 06:38 (twenty-three years ago)

delias* rox o'er PDQ Bach

that should be "Bach's" of course

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 3 February 2003 06:43 (twenty-three years ago)

so thats what that was all about! ok...

did you get me a tie?

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 3 February 2003 07:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I looked at one for you at Dior but Mary said it wouldn't do.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 3 February 2003 07:42 (twenty-three years ago)

what was the kissy faces thing all about?

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 3 February 2003 07:46 (twenty-three years ago)

was it a brown tie?

― geeta (geeta), Monday, 3 February 2003 07:46 (twenty-three years ago)

gunmetal

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 3 February 2003 07:48 (twenty-three years ago)

― di smith (lucylurex), Monday, 3 February 2003 08:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I wish I was there, too.

― rainy (rainy), Monday, 3 February 2003 08:49 (twenty-three years ago)

so do I! Rainy, welcome back.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 3 February 2003 09:04 (twenty-three years ago)

i have decided a red tie is best, with a black shirt.

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 3 February 2003 09:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Gareth, the Kraftwerk tribute group auditions aren't until NEXT week, you've plenty of time.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 3 February 2003 11:19 (twenty-three years ago)

thanks felicity-kitten!

― rainy (rainy), Monday, 3 February 2003 11:21 (twenty-three years ago)

HAHAHA suzy you roXoR

― geeta (geeta), Monday, 3 February 2003 11:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Over heard in bar on Wednesday:

Bloke: "Oh Kraftwerk, they're this really obscure German group with no melodies."
Girl: *giggles* Reeeaaally?
We gaped in horror.

Sounds like a great day out. I am jealous.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 3 February 2003 11:48 (twenty-three years ago)

surely thats red shirts with black ties. i want to look like a lipstickandcigarettes girl.

zoe called me a tosser yesterday!

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 3 February 2003 11:52 (twenty-three years ago)

anna, wednesday? was that the bar we were in? i didnt hear that!

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 3 February 2003 11:53 (twenty-three years ago)

If we go to Mitsuwa, we should go to Target (and uh, the Rag Shop) too. Hello Kitty Valentines, here we come!

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 3 February 2003 22:28 (twenty-three years ago)

BTW, surely no one is surprised at the love on this thread? My guess is that young, clever, interesting, hot New York women who are into indie music and the internet wouldn't find it hard to find admirers on an internet message board dominated (if only numerically) by men.

Or of course, with as terrific a bunch as this, anywhere else.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 3 February 2003 22:36 (twenty-three years ago)

oooer

i'd be psyched for mitsuwa if there is a posse going and conversation is not insufferably twee.

― geeta (geeta), Monday, 3 February 2003 22:40 (twenty-three years ago)

The NYC crew I've meet all rock, the ones I haven't met must therefore rock as well. Very simple, methinks! :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 February 2003 22:51 (twenty-three years ago)

i'd be psyched for mitsuwa if there is a posse going and conversation is not insufferably twee

looks like RM and I are out then....

seriously, if we all want to go, maybe we should take the bus, though it's not as glamorous as being driven around by felicity:)

but how sad will all the boyz be to get matching valentine's cards from both zoe and i?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey little man you wanna dance?

― The Lizzies, Monday, 3 February 2003 23:13 (twenty-three years ago)

(Left to right: Jody Felicity Geeta Jen Rosemary Mary)

See, the thing about the skinny red tie and the rough beige shirt is that if you're not careful you wind up looking like a zookeeper.

Also Nick, I am literally fucking offended that you think I'd casually refer to women as "the ultra-skinnies" and then suggest appropriate bra colors. ("For the ultra-fatties I suggest a light mauve.")

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Let's see here, we've got Felicity, Mary, JBR, Rosemary, Geeta and Jen. Or not.

BASTARD Nabisco for sneaking in ahead of me! *hates*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I got my sister a Lizzies t-shirt once. The Lizzies weren't lesbians, were they?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha, Ned, notice how our assignments don't match at all! I spent a good few minutes working out who was whom and why.

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:21 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah - sorry Nabisco. I don't know what I was thinking. It was a bad time in my life.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks for making me the sweet angelic looking one Nabisco!

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I spent a good few minutes working out who was whom and why.

I went with random impulse, CLEARLY the correct method. ;-)

― Scared Prom Couples, Monday, 3 February 2003 23:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Why am I the first one?

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, we must understand Nabisco's scientific method of ilXor photo assignment!

― Jen (nstop), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:51 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm accused of being twee AND indie?

*sob*

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 3 February 2003 23:52 (twenty-three years ago)

http://thewarriorsreallivebunch.homestead.com/files/candystore_girl.jpg

Who will be me?

― Candy Store Girl, Monday, 3 February 2003 23:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Fuck me I'm twee

― Jen (nstop), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:01 (twenty-three years ago)

That's a pretty sub-par twee-injoke song (especially for Tullycraft of "Pop Songs Your New Boyfriend's Too Stupid to Know About" fame) except holy God is this poignant:

you'll find more posies in the used bin
than there are people at the show

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Gareth, do you want your tie or not???

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 23:43 (twenty-three years ago)

yes! i want tie!

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 23:49 (twenty-three years ago)

will anygirl take gareth shopping?

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 23:52 (twenty-three years ago)

We need to appease him soon or we will all be sorry!

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 23:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Seriously, dude, pick a tie and I'll send it to you: otherwise you have to promise to NOT TALK ABOUT THE TIE for a little while.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 6 February 2003 00:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Or, you know, have one of those two send it to you, or order it direct, or whatever: I just want this whole tie-shopping thing to get wrapped efficiently up and for you to have your tie, because getting a single tie should not be a Herculean task.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 6 February 2003 00:37 (twenty-three years ago)

thanks for that link, i was looking for button braces

― anthony easton (anthony), Thursday, 6 February 2003 00:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Nabisco, don't be so mean, not everyboy has a nice tie collection like you.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 6 February 2003 02:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Triscuit is jealous! That's so cute!

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 6 February 2003 02:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Awww! We'll look for Oulipo manuals for you on our next outing, Nabisco :)

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 6 February 2003 02:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Wacky woo.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 6 February 2003 02:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't tease me.

Mary, I only ever wear one tie, and it's black. I just hate to think of Gareth sitting around pining for a tie: someone get the boy his cravat and have done with it!

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 6 February 2003 03:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't worry about Gareth, all this attention makes him happier than any tie ever could :)

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 6 February 2003 04:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Unless it was maybe of the Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down variety.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 6 February 2003 06:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Triscuit!

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 6 February 2003 08:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh my!

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Trip, Triscuit, Trish . . . very New Trier preppy

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 6 February 2003 15:56 (twenty-three years ago)

three months pass...

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:15 (twenty-three years ago)

That first paragraph is my Saturday at Gurnee Mills to a "T," but scratch the part about actually finding a lot of nice clothes that follows.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:17 (twenty-three years ago)

hahahahah i was just about to post that i found god at woodbury common on the nyfashion thread. seriously, if ly pens a *girly sports style* article, i will be worried:)

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:31 (twenty-three years ago)

and no mention of delias -- bah!

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Articles about Woodbury Common are sooooooo 90s.

― rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 21:06 (twenty-three years ago)

posted a tie to england today
will it satisfy?

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 9 May 2003 02:29 (twenty-three years ago)

was it red?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 9 May 2003 02:34 (twenty-three years ago)

it was in the red family but not a bright red he'll probably hate it *sigh*

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 9 May 2003 02:43 (twenty-three years ago)

He's so picky, what is his problem?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 9 May 2003 03:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Was it kind of brownish red?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 9 May 2003 16:13 (twenty-three years ago)

That would be a kind of blood color, that is good for the undead/evil cult leader types.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 9 May 2003 16:14 (twenty-three years ago)

If he hates it I hope he sends it back so I can rock girly prep style.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 9 May 2003 16:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Wow, thanks for the link, I was totally just going to ask y'all if Woodbury Common was worth it. Still, feel free to weigh in if you have Woodbury Common stories.
