e-borka
You may remember that on Random Wednesday last week, Adrian offered for our general entertainment the amusing tale of how he bought some bird a load of clothes she didn't want [the ungrateful trollop], and now can't get them off his hands.
We have pleaded, cajoled and threatened, but he refuses to put them on for us.
But because I'm just *so* nice, I'm posting the pictures here, anyway, and they shall be sold to the highest bidder, provided that the reserve price is met and a little offered for postage. He described them as about a size 8, but whether that is UK 8 or South African 8 or lacking-a-clue bloke size 8, I couldn't tell you.

Send me a pic of Adrian, and I'll show you how they'd look on him...
The Good Reverend Doctor Humbert · November 04, 2003 16:40There are literally 1000's of pictures of me on my site. Harvest Away.
It's lacking-a-clue bloke size 8. But think it's UK size 8 too. I think it was to fit someone who fits size 26 (or was it 28 ) Levi's. I measured the top of the skirt and it was about 12 inches (yeah yeah I know you girls have heard that line before).
Does any of that help? I guess not. I can measure any details you need when I get home tonight.
Adrian Sevitz · November 04, 2003 17:08Adrian, I'm trying to work out whats going on with that see-through, sheer looking 'ensemble'. forgive me for not understanding the strangness of heterosexuality, but I though if you wanted to buy your g/f undies, a bloke always bought red, frilly, small things with tassles???
razorhead · November 04, 2003 17:17Don't people usually buy what they subconsciously want themselves? Perhaps Adrian just couldn't get the tassles to swing.
I'm looking forward to the photoshopping.... :)
qB · November 04, 2003 18:10Some hetro's are like really weird and don't understand the sexiness of decent lingerie. I love lingerie (on girls) and could easily bankrupt myself at places like Agent Provocateur.
The frilly red things have their place but I pref stuff that is more sexy or kinky than tacky.
Think of it as a decent interior on a nice car ...
Adrian Sevitz · November 04, 2003 22:15What, no buyers?
Stuart · November 05, 2003 10:06Noe, none yet. Maybe my taste in womens clothes isn't as good as I thought it was.
Adrian Sevitz · November 05, 2003 10:29as lovely as they are, alas, size 8, a tad too small.
emma · November 05, 2003 10:33So my taste still gets a pass mark?
Adrian Sevitz · November 05, 2003 10:41definitely in terms of underwear.
emma · November 05, 2003 10:49They look very funky Adrian, but alas, alas, alas...
Maybe for my sister, who is rather rake-like...but I'd rather not drag up a whole spread of teenage angst by ringing her up and asking if she's a size 8...
Stuart · November 05, 2003 10:52I rather suspected that the size 8 part would be the problem.
Karen · November 05, 2003 10:56Are they at all stretchy?
Stuart · November 05, 2003 11:03The top is very stretchy. The skirt not so much. The underwear a little within normal range.
The size 8 (ish) issue is half the problem I know I know ... An albatross around my neck ...
Adrian Sevitz · November 05, 2003 11:18I think perhaps that stretching size 8 underwear on to a size 10 or more body would not be a good look.
Karen · November 05, 2003 11:25Sadly too small for me :(
Lori · November 05, 2003 14:42A friend of mine suggested I sign on to dating websites and specify that I was only looking for a girl of very specific dimensions.
Come on surely there is someone in Uborkaland who will fit? This is starting to sound like Snow White and the shoe thing...
Adrian Sevitz · November 05, 2003 15:18Isn't Fauxhemia Kate a size 6? I'm sure she'd look great in this outfit...
Uh... not that I stared at her that long... in fact I don't even know who I'm talking about anymore. Oh look, a penguin.
D · November 05, 2003 15:32A penguin? Where ....
Kate was the one with the picture of the garter and the great legs right?
Adrian Sevitz · November 05, 2003 15:41oh lord.
kate · November 05, 2003 16:21i mean - thanks, but oh lord.
kate · November 05, 2003 16:23I read that and I think ...
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
... can't be helped. ;-)
Adrian Sevitz · November 05, 2003 16:43Kate - shouldn't you be publicly outraged at this crass chauvinism but secretly pleased?
I thought that was de rigeur.
I only asked if they were stretchy because I quite like the look of that skir- oh, D!
You were right.
It is a penguin.
Stuart · November 05, 2003 17:15Stuart, I've told you once already the skirt is definitely not stretchy. But you were asking for your sister RIGHT?
Now where is this damn penguin ?
