Money Grabbers... December 23, 2005 |
We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
good old nipple covers (sparkly, and with tassels?)
...just another day at the office:-)
(sarasara, it's in the desk drawer with the neon post-its)
This one looks like part of a haiku... anyone know the rest of it?
I do like the way the s's sort of slounch over.
I need new nipple covers. I'm glad this reminded me.
the Haiku:
get Nipple Covers,
at Victoria's secret,
cold nipples no more.
because it's no fun to have cold nipples.
(though they are more fun to look at...)
We used to call them "pasties" (long a, for the British contingent, not to be confused with picnic food)and they were self-adhesive.
Oooops, TMI revealed.
Nipple covers? We don't need no steenkin nipple covers...
beats the hell out of duct tape and bandaids for the beauty-pagent crowd.
Smart women keep each other Pastied.
Can never have enough nipple covers in them college towns....wait a minute, strike that, reverse it.
The teen-aged boy in me is really turned on.
another post it she wouldn't have needed the nipple covers.....vic secret is so expensive too..doesn't WalMart carry those?
I hope to goodness that the illustration at the top of the Found is NOT an instructional aid for what to do with nipple covers!
Unless maybe it's a drawing of what happens during that fun old party game. You know ... "Stick the Cover on the Nipple". (Oh! you missed. Try again!! Tee-hee.)
How do I get an invitation to one of Librarian's parties?
Why did she have to make a list for one item? (Well, 2 items to be precise...)
@ "Parying my rent..." He who has no memory makes one out of paper. I couldn't live without post-it notes which I stick up at eye level where I will see them (which does NOT include the refrigerator door, but does include the telly, bookcase, and computer monitor.) I often remind myself of expected visitors (WELLINGTON THURS 10 AM) or that one thing I keep forgetting at the market (CHICK PEAS, STUPID!!) or other appointments. You don't need a list to need a reminder.
I like the Smart Woman post-it paper. Where can I find some of these?
http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/2001
I'm just sayin'.
Would some handwriting analyst please explain the psychological (or is it, in this case, physiological?) significance of the drooping "s" at the ends of "covers" and "Victoria's"?
@Feeling ... consider yourself invited!
Victoria Secret has everything a man would want.
I can't comment on this until Mona does.
The mall is a big place, so it's good to specify which store to get them at. You wouldn't want to walk into Kaybee Toys and ask where the nipple covers are. (If they had them, though, I bet they would be in the horrifically pink Barbie aisle.)
Spencer Gifts might carry nipple covers, but if they do, they're probably made of some cheap material that will give you a nasty nipple rash.
Wow... I usually write things like this in code just in case my posit-it is found somewhere in my posession. I'm sure if I actually wrote it out like this it would jump out of my purse in a meeting.
My Boss: "So... nipple covers, eh?" It would be like the "I Love My Hooters" sticker all over again.
Camoflage for you nipplus erectus? why not just wear a fuckin bra?
Are we suppposed to mention it when peoples' nipple piercings show through their shirts? Is it intentional? Do they WANT us to notice those alarmingly mis-shapen nipps?

saw that when I was looking, too. I like it.
They sell those at Victoria's Secret? Wow. It's been too long since I visited there. *Note to self*: continue diet so going to VS won't be a travesty.
@ Lolita ... you can buy these pads (the note pads, that is!) online at:
http://www.smartwomenstore.com
and at fine stationery stores near you
See? Now my first thought would be to try someplace more like Babies'R'Us.
@John: And without even looking, I know which one you're refering to. haha!
PS-Man, it's gonna hurt to remove those suckers. I wonder if Victoria's Secret carries a good depilatory, too?
@Night: for a real thorough job, I like to wax mine. It allows the nipple covers to adhere better.
In a pinch, she could use those handy post its.
I like to call it "having a bad case of the chipples". Chilly + nipples = chipples... Which I also think would be a great name for a crunchy snack.
Turkey's done!
@Joh(n): your nipple cover is covering your "n".
I read the star at the beginning as a "k", knipple cnovers. haha
re. Haiku
Gloria, how about this:
nipple covers at
the Victoria's Secret--
a cricket in the grass
or this:
star nipple covers
at the house of all secrets
--the night sky beckons
or maybe:
nipples snug in bed--
smart women keep each other
under worn covers
or this:
Hidden nipple fun.
Those Librarians know how
to get down/dirty.
or maybe:
Victoria hides
her nipples. Why don't you put
yours somewhere else? Huh?
Please, no Freudian analysis of any of those. (Hipster translation: Don't try to understand my art, man! It's just art! Take off your gloves! It should just BE!)
As a side note, were I actually to keep other smart women posted, I might not start with the vital information about where to get nipple covers, but rather(and I needed this one earlier today)something like this:
"That's a glass wall, smart girl, not an open doorway! Do not walk into it face-first at full smart-girl speed!"
Ouch!
After nursing twins I NEED those nipple covers. Mine look like pancakes with raisins on them.
Mona, I hardly knew ye!
I too have nursed twins... and good news, the nipples bounce back!
TMI Mona. Mine look like wet socks on a clothes line.
Keep sach other posted.
Those droopy S's drive me crazy, and not in a good way.
The star looks like a K - knipple. Hahaha that'd be funny.
must...erase...mental...image...of...

@night in gale: oops, thanks for pointing that out. The one covering my "J" must have fallen off while I wasn't looking.
ok..that last post was not me. Totally not me.. totally.
I've totally seen nipple covers at walmart, or at least sears.
Alan.. don't wait for me. I'm unreliable, these days.
whew!
My world is once again at a proper tilt.
I have no more care that the world can tell that I have nipples than I do that they can tell I wear panties.
If my refusal to put stickies on my nipples and give myself a perma-wedgie makes me a lower class broad, I guess I will just have to learn to live with it.
You actually buying that, Alan? That's sweet.
Nipple covers found
At Victoria's Secret
Smart women keep covered.
Smart women keep clothed
Can't find nipple covers oh!
Should I use Post-its?
I think I laughed harder at these comments than I have on any other find! HA!
@Baby Basil- I'm not sure it's a British thing, calling nipple covers "pasties". I've always called them pasties. (Maybe it's a generational thing?) But I'm curious--what in the world are pasties, as in picnic food?
Pancakes with raisins
Are these also called boobies?
Only Mona knows....
Does the STAR before "nipple", denote the shape to be purchased or does it take the place of an asterisk to show importance?
Do they make: Triangles? Octagons? Arrows? Crescents? Hearts?
skullzz!!!! Ima get me some skull nipple covers!
My Haiku for the night...
Nothing new to ad,
Just wanted to end my day,
With thoughts of nipples.
Verrrry interesting!
What a ooinkydink that this is Nipple Pancake Month at IHOP!
I just looked at my own posting...what a maroon!
That should be coinkydink....not ooinkydink...hmmm what's an ooinkydink anyway?!
(For those of you who don't know what a coinkydink is it's code for coincidence...this has not been my day...)
Mlm, the food called pasties (pronounced past-eez) are meat and potato pies, shaped kind of like a turnover, only with pie crust, not flakey pastry crust. The filling is usually ground beef, and diced potatoes and onions. They are baked, and sooo good.
The Pasty comes from Cornwall, England, but here in the U.S. they were traditionally eaten by miners, who would put a hot pasty in his shirt pocket to keep himself warm on the way to the mine. In the U.S., this peasant delicacy is consumed frequently and almost exclusively in the region of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where copper and iron mines were abundant in years passed.
@ Karen
And speaking of IHOP. My 3 year old calls it I-PATCH (eye patch). We all like that name better!
"Avast ye scurvy dogs! Bring me some pancakes or prepare to be keelhauled!!"
Ok, here is my stab at it, so late at night:
Smart Women Keep Each Other Posted
with Nipple Covers from Victoria Secret
and away we went...
which was aching with regret
eat some spam and get bent
ahahahah, thats the only thing i can think of.
@mlm --
Cornish Pasties:
http://tinyurl.com/2govox
You wouldn't want a couple of *those* down your bra.
@Agent Ling Hi -- I'd heard about those Cornish expat miners who brought the pasty to the USA. But apparently they're nothing like the original, and taste awful!
Yummmmm! Pasties sound delicious! (the food, not the nipple covers)
Is this the *Indianipplosis*??? You know, the race...
Onward and *UP*ward ladies...off we go to Victoria's..she has a Secret to get off her chest!
Pasties (the meat and potato pie) are also frequently consumed in Butte, MT. (when I discovered a neighbor making Pasties for her mother's birthday, I guessed immediately where they were originally from!) YUMMM!
And Butte's a big mining town. (copper, galena, who knows what else. locally-made pasties also sold in a freezer case at the grocery store in Anaconda, where they used to smelt the ores mined in Butte. Saw them on our stop before going up into the mountains to camp. did not buy any.)
So.. Who knew!? (well, besides Jonathan and very special Agent Ling Hi, anyway? certainly not I.)
my goodness, I'm gone for a few months and you all get lazy!
here are the covers she wanted, and no, they are not star shaped, though they are flower shaped!
http://tinyurl.com/6gdnbs
I have to say, I've missed being here... this post plus the one linked in the comments (the moob) had me laughing out loud- the moob one, especially, my kids kept asking me "what's wrong?" the poor dears haven't seen their kids laugh like that in ages!
glad to be back!
The best thing about nipple covers is peeling them off.
Librarian, you'll probably never see this but I would bet the writer of this note is a 'lefty' that writes with her wrist hooked and starts her letters from the bottom of the character.
OK, everything about this is perfect.
