- About Me:
- I, am a fully-rounded human being, with a degree from the University of Life, a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks, and three gold stars from the Kindergarten of Getting the Crap Kicked Out of Me.
I, am the terror that flaps in the night, the fast food that comes back to haunt you, the neurosis that requires a $500 an hour shrink, the special news bulletin that interrupts your favorite show, the wrong number that wakes you at 3 a.m., the bug that splatters on your windshield.
I, am the terror that flaps in the night, the onions that stink in your eyes, the winged scourge that pecks at your nightmare, the smoke that smokes smoked oysters, the low point on your sine wave, the grade curves that gives you an "F", the water balloon that lands right on your head, the plot twist in the second reel, the meter on the cab of justice, the ten dollars service charge on all returned checks, the widget missing from the easy to assemble swingset, the ingrown toenail on the foot of crime.
I, am the terror that flaps in the night.
I, am Nissa.
How bloody effing hard is it.....
...to find a bloody gore-tex, softshell jacket with a Recco system that does not make you look a total spaz??
Is it really THAT hard to put steez into a design for a really technical piece of bloody effing outerwear?
I reeeeeeally don't think so.
And why is it when I do find something visually passable in the aforementioned case (Volcom's Opaline/Salomon's X-Wing/Kjus' Formula/Billabong's Tara 3) they are always not made in my size/available in the country??
There are a lot of small, steez-conscious women riders out there and it is a bankable target market if industries smarten the eff up and hire better bloody effing designers to make something that uses more bloody effing colorways than beige, pissed pavement grey, puke yellow and teal (the color of gangrene) or any combinations of the colors mentioned.
F*ck all, just hire me.
And another thing, when you do decide on integrating Recco into your line (Peak Performance and Sessions, this is you folk I'm talking to), PLEASE make sure you either:
a) Hire better quality control (Peak Performance) so that your bloody effing straps don't rip open due to poor gluing and make me have to refund my bloody $768 because I really loved that jacket.... f*ck..
b) STOP OUTSOURCING AND GETTING CHEAP PARTS!
Because Sessions, frankly your zippers are utter sh*t and gets caught every single bloody time they need to be zipped up/down/out of not to mention they utilize beige as a poor excuse of a colorway..
Prior to writing this I was going to do the "I-hope-I-don't-offend-anyone" spiel, but that went out the window as soon as I realize how dire the situation is.. -_-
So eff it all, I'm glad I vented.
Seethingly yours,
<3

Do you really want all shralp! myths revealed? Maybe we should do a "behind the scenes" episode only here on the shralp! network. Sounds like a cool summer project.....
