By the gods! People make me so damn angry!
Keela and I went to the re-opened market today because I wanted a new dress and I had seen the new stock come in from the boat on the docks. I prefer market traders to those posh, upscale shops in the rich district (because I hate the nobles) and as I was browsing through the dresses, who should bump into me? A noble woman, Lady varavonn… something-or-other, who cares anyway?
Anydoodle, I found this really nice pink dress, knee length hem, sleeveless, but with nice thick shoulder straps and a good neckline, not too plunging, because a lady should be modest. Also it’s nice and thin, not one of those wild bouffant dresses the noble women all wear, you know the ones? Them that make their arses look the size of a unicorns. As I was looking at this dress, I was thinking it would go nicely with some nice, white shoosies… Or brown leather boots, only the gods know why I would pick such an odd combination.
So as I took the dress off the rack, this noble woman comes from nowhere and tells me that.
“A lady of my personage should not be buying or wearing tatty clothes that are suitable only for the riff-raff and streetwalkers”
I have no idea where she came from or why she was even in the “poor” district (I prefer the term “lower” district)
Does she forget that my own mother came from a poor, hard-working family that grew up in the lower district? And I am not ashamed to say I am proud to have my roots here amongst the more deserving.
But why can people not mind their own damn business? It just really annoys me that there is always somebody out there ready to stick their nose where it doesn’t belong. And they’re always from the higher class.
Anyway, I bought the dress! I tried it on as soon as I got home and I must say I LOVE it! I’m going to wear it at every possible opportunity! Plus it will annoy those snooty higher-class women, which makes it both a bonus and a bargain.
Anyway, must go, I have to go for my dinner.
Toodle-ooh and all that posh nonsense.
