I decided to make another tutorial. This one is of a black and white coloring that I just found out.
I did it all with Photoshop CS4 but it's translatable.

This is the outcome:

I just found this community, and I LOVE it!

This pwnage relates to a sucky customer I had whilst working for a CD/DVD/game seller in Ireland. This particular company is pretty big in Ireland and the UK, and all price stickers for products feature the product format (i.e. CD, DVD, game, console, etc.), the artist/title of the product (if applicable) and the price. They also feature the SKU of the product, so in case of any mixups with prices the SKU can be checked on the computer system to see if it was the right sticker on the wrong product. Normally, mixups only happened with 1 disc versus 2 disc DVDs, and with regular and special edition CDs.

Anywho, I am now transferring you to the department of "backstory done, suck and pwnage to follow!"

We frequently got the worst scam artist I have ever encountered in retail coming in and (who'da thunk it?) trying to scam us. She would go to display stands directly in front of the tills where staff could see her and look for a price sticker that she found acceptable, then proceed to swap the cheaper stickers onto the products she wanted to buy.

A LOT of staff were at the end of their tethers with her shenanigans, and I was one of them.

On this particular day of sweet, sweet pwnage, idiot scammer lady comes in and is looking at the display of Michael Jackson CDs (there was a HEEYOOOOGE display done, seeing as MJ had only recently passed away when this happened), and as it was quiet I called loss prevention and told them this scammer was present in store, and also that I was keeping an eye on her. They thanked me, and I went back to eyeballing and earlobing the customer. (Earlobing is like eyeballing, only not as direct.)

Aha, she found a price she liked and swapped the stickers, bringing the most popular MJ CD up to my till that, having scanned in at least a thousand times since MJ's death (no exaggeration) I knew the price and SKU by heart. Her price sticker said €8.99. Like I said, I knew the price by heart, and it should have been €16.99.

I sighed dramatically, and said in my sweetest I'm-ever-so-sorry voice, "Oh my goodness, not again... I'm so sorry, miss, but this is not the correct price for this product. It should be €16.99."

She looked like she was going to kick up a fuss, like she always did, but I cut her off, saying, "To be honest with you, I know it's inconvenient and annoying, but it's usually silly kids who come into our store and change stickers just to cause trouble. And the funny thing is, if our loss prevention team caught them doing it, we could have them charged with fraud and arrested." (Which is true, the LP team considered this sort of price changing to be fraud, and while they had bigger fish to fry what with theft in the store being as bad as it was, a charge would be brought if a customer was found to be doing that.)

My sweet voice turned icy when I said "charged with fraud", and then I smiled and said, "So is €16.99 okay?"

She opened her mouth and closed it several times while her eyes nearly bugged out of her head, and then she all but threw a twenty at me. I gave her the CD in a bag, her change and chirped thank you and other pleasantries at her as she RAN from the shop.

After she left, I nearly collapsed with giggles, and according to the staff she hasn't chanced the same bullshit since.

Sometimes, ladies and gents, passive aggressive is the way to pwn a customer.

A Saw Dressing Room

WHAT IS A DRESSING ROOM????
"A dressing room is a free-for-all roleplay community with no application processes, allowed duplicates of any character, and an all around low-pressure community where players can test out new muses, or dust off the old ones that apply to the specific franchise.

A dressing room is an ideal place for people who don't have enough time, or energy, to commit themselves to a formal roleplay community, or just want to have a little fun. Plus it's a great way to meet people into the same series as you.

Usually played out in action and first person entries (comment logs), Dressing also allows for third person entries(formal logs). You're free to go wherever, and whenever, you like."

This obviously isn't my real journal, but I need to protect my identity as this question pertains to my Yuletide fic. Hence, yuletidesock.

I need to know what the topography is like driving into Memphis, TN from the west (in 1987, if that matters). I'm really hoping there's a crest or ridge my characters could drive over and suddenly there's Memphis in the night all lit up--is this possible? Obviously there are probably suburbs and such but I'm hoping that the view, even from a bit far away, is one that will work.

Googled: Memphis topography, driving into Memphis, Memphis from west, and variations on these.

In the 14th century, Dante Alighieri gave the world a glimpse into Hell. But, like medieval Florence and everything around it, Hell has changed, and unlike Earth not necessarily for the better. However even across the span of centuries some things remain steadfast – the despair is tantamount, the torture ironic, pity is scarce, reprieve impossible – Abandon all hope ye who enter here.

This is a literature and live-action panfandom RPG that takes character torture to a whole new level.

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to comment to this entry or contact the mods at either madestatic@gmail.com or morbidly.gwenny@gmail.com.

On working with DonateMyDress: “I had my prom dress forever until I became a part of the charity and donated it. It’s amazing to see girls’ faces light up [when given a dress]. It’s really fun because I get to interact with these girls and share the experience with them.”

On her own prom dress: “It was a really, really fitted full-length dress [covered] with bronze and gold sequins. It was a halter style and the neckline plunged. My mom made me take a shawl. She said, ‘I know your dad, and he’s not going to let you out of the house.’ So we got this really pretty sheer shawl to go over it [as a compromise].”

On planning for the big day: “Definitely plan ahead because the actual day can be kind of stressful. Planning everything out helps a lot. When picking out your dress, make sure you’re really comfortable in it because you are going to be dancing around, moving around, sitting, eating and all of that stuff.”

On what you should do and don’t do: “Be yourself and don’t overdo it. People have a lot of anticipation for an event like prom and end up overdoing it or wearing too much makeup. Really make sure you are comfortable because then you’ll feel beautiful, instead of going overboard and asking yourself, ‘Oh my gosh, what did I do?’”

Our concept is simple, let's take the example of one of the big bang comms and flip it. Instead of a writer pouring out 20,000 words of fic for an artist to interpret, let's give the artists the chance to inspire the author. For this first attempt, we will be limiting the fandoms to include Supernatural, Leverage and RPS from either show. Crossovers will be allowed, but only with these three shows.

Author sign-ups are going on now! See [info]pictures2words for more details and stay tuned for claiming dates!


(Please feel free to spread the word elsewhere! We need more Leverage writers!)
