Auctionorial Intent

[bcholmes]

I went to the Tiptree auction, and spent monies. I got two things. The second of the two things was a transgendered children's book called 10,000 Dresses. At one point, I was the high bid at $60, and the folks on stage started reading out the author's inscription. It's written beside a hand-drawn picture of a dress and it reads:

Dearest You!

This is a wish for you that all your dreams and dresses come true!

To get you started -- here is a dress made of quashes, social justice + photosynthesis (complete with matching anarcho-syndicalist crown.)

Love,
Marcus Ewert and Bailey

(Marcus Ewert is the author and Bailey is the main character).

I loved this inscription so much that I immediately upped my bid to $75. By conventional metrics, I'm not very good at auctions.

The other item I got was a certificate for six chocolate vulvas. I paid $50 for the certificate, and by my reckoning, that's just a bit more than $8 per vulva. Compared to the last vulva I bought, that's a huge bargain.

ROFLMAO! Moot question about which is tastier ... ;-)

I won't even go *near* the question of which tasty treat lasts longer.

You are high-larious.

I love the idea that the chocolate vulvas were an incredible bargain. I didn't bid because I didn't find "fierce" an attractive descriptor (and, more seriously, wasn't sure about the peppercorns).

Actually, they're "furious"!
