@squishybrain although I live in the heart of Hollywood (I mean, I got to see a bomb robot rolling down the street today… that’s some fine city living), I grew up further east (shout out to my homies in the San Gabriel valley) and can survive all the way down into the 60s.
@jakeline I thought the same thing about the fabric. Upon googling I found a similar model that was an acrylic/polyester blend, maybe these are the same.
When did Pashmina go from meaning “a wool fabric something like Cashmere” to “fabric that may or may not have any relation to wool”? I must have been out sick that day.
@InFrom@mossygreen Yeah, it went from “a particular type of cloth woven exclusively from cashmere and local wool” to “it’s a scarf that has knotted fringe, and it’s very thin.”
You know what the word Pashmina reminds me of…
The Panama Papers, yeah they are some bad corrupt SOB’s hiding money. I was going to say it’s probably the PA in front.
So I have been writing About the papers for aWhile now with little response, So I was thinking In order to kill two birds because Meh is definitely into murdering all things with feathers… (I was proud of myself for that Segway so deal with it)…they should manufacture Meh face popsockets in Panama and put the secretary of Mossack Fonseca on the Meh board for a day because she needs to get to 11,000 board of directors of companies she didn’t know existed. 10,998 is shameful got to get improve that Guiness record.
My sister got me a scarf for Xmas. Which is nice, cuz the week before I had looked for my scarf (I had one, I swear) and it was not findable. And now I’m pro-scarf! But I need way more information before plunking down 8 hard-won American dollars. What is Pashmina? Is she in a band? If so, does that band basically only do covers of Led Zeppelin’s toe-tapper, “Kashmir”? Would Robert Plant ever get caught dead wearing a scarf? How about an $8 scarf? I have more questions than answers, Meh. Meh.
Ehhh, no thanks. If I’m going to buy a pashmina, I’d rather it be an actual pashmina and not a scarf made of viscose. But, I mean, it’s cheap, I guess. And not very warm.
Also I know I sound snobby, but I’m a weaver and a knitter and spinner, so I kinda do get snobby about scarves. That’s like the one thing, other than a really good coat, I spent a bit of money on after making do with a $29 peacoat from Old Navy and a cheap cotton/rayon from viscose scarf for years in subzero temps until I saved enough back for a decent heavy-wool full length coat and fiber to make my scarf, gloves and hat. It’s literally what keeps me alive in the winter, walking around in the midwest.
@dino2269 Unlikely. I grew up in the deep south and still needed more than a fashion scarf to actually stay warm. This is more of an accessory along the lines of the fashion scarves you pick up at Target year-round out of the jewelry/handbag section. They’re kinda pretty?
Viscose fabric is a soft and lightweight fabric manufactured from a plant-based material called cellulose. Viscose is typically made from woody plants, such as trees and bamboo. Viscose is part of the rayon family of fabrics, all of which are made from cellulose. Viscose is a low-cost fabric and has …

Good price. I would get but I’ve bought my wife several scarves over the years… Silk, cashmere… I’ve never seen her wear one I bought… Only an old ratty red one she’s had over 20 years from before we wed.
I think scarves are one of those things that people buy but never wear.
Out for delivery now. Took 3 days to get handed to the USPS in my town. Maybe someone forgot to scan it when initially turned over to USPS. Glad I posted. Squeaky wheel always gets results!
So…the packaging for the pashminas has some sort of Bible verse on it. A heads-up would be very appreciated next time you’re selling goods that prominently display religious stuff on the package.
@medz@RiotDemon I noticed that, too, & I want to echo the heads-up request by medz. And I hope that Meh will comment on this: it matters to some of us, it seems.
@gertiestn@RiotDemon
well, yeah, but then it looks like I’m giving a used gift.
Also, some folks my not want to support companies that are outspoken in that way.
@medz@RiotDemon What this reminded me of, I’m afraid, was a package from someone on eBay who had enclosed some Bible stuff with an item I bought. It’s just that I don’t expect such stuff to accompany your average commercial transaction. And I also thought about the idea of buying this as a gift.
@gertiestn@RiotDemon Right. Finding out a company has religious “values” is one thing. Putting in on the actual product is whole different ballgame. Especially when it’s not visible in the sale photos and not mentioned in any capacity.

Someone once told me a joke about infinity. I never heard the end of it.
Ooh, purple!
made of fabric, now I’ll never forget
I haven’t bought anything lately. Maybe because of the order names. This one is
/giphy harmonious granular ass
@OldCatLady Well that’s … different.
@sammydog01 I like the ending.
@OldCatLady Mr Pence, I don’t feel so good…
We know the pashminas are viscose, but the infinity scarves are simply “midweight fabric”? That’s distressingly non-specific…
…
…Not gonna stop me from getting a set tho. I live in Southern California and I need something to wear when it dips below 70.

@jakeline As an Angelino, I fear when it’s not 80. Might catch your death of cold!

You almost got me, but my lady has tons of scarves already. No go for me
@Stallion That means she can never have enough.
What the bibbity boppity fuck is this?
Because the wife likes them

@squishybrain Is that Tom Hanks? That is more disturbing than the imagine on the product page.
@dino2269 @squishybrain I agree. Tom Hans as Mr. Clean is disturbing as hell.
You were doing so well, even bringing back the speaker docks … and now this?

When did Pashmina go from meaning “a wool fabric something like Cashmere” to “fabric that may or may not have any relation to wool”? I must have been out sick that day.
@InFrom I feel like it went directly to “drapey scarf.”
@InFrom When the advertisers realized that you can say whatever you want and not get in trouble if you sell it in the US.
@InFrom @mossygreen Yeah, it went from “a particular type of cloth woven exclusively from cashmere and local wool” to “it’s a scarf that has knotted fringe, and it’s very thin.”
@InFrom It’s not trademarked. Details here.

@whiskeyish so these are great for the Southeast where cold is 30 degress.

@dino2269 @whiskeyish These are nice if it’s hot out and you go sleeveless but then move inside where it’s air conditioned.

Fire the marketeer that came up with that fabric name. Way too close to viscous IMHO, and I can’t have a viscous scarf oozing down my gf’s torso.

All the talk is about the pashminas but it’s the infinity scarves that are sold out.
Anybody get their scarves yet? Mine hopped between some shipping partners in TX and IN, but hasn’t moved since the 7th.
Two more days and then I send customer service hate mail.
@medz Check the valentine thread for wording suggestions.
Out for delivery now. Took 3 days to get handed to the USPS in my town. Maybe someone forgot to scan it when initially turned over to USPS. Glad I posted. Squeaky wheel always gets results!
Not shipped yet here, either
And arrived today!
So…the packaging for the pashminas has some sort of Bible verse on it. A heads-up would be very appreciated next time you’re selling goods that prominently display religious stuff on the package.
