Requiem For A Fabric Store

I know its silly to get depressed over a store, but damn
it... That was the best fucking fabric store in this hell
hole city. Whoa, whoa let me back up a sec....

Okay, after work I was all stoked about going to get my
black and white clergy cloth so I could start the ground
work for my "Ordained by God" lolita outfit. So J'aime
and I drive up there and we see in the window, big as
day, "Store closing, everything 50% off. Everything must
go!"

*NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!*

Why God?!?!? WHY?!?!?! The Fabric Outlet on Wadsworth
Ave was the best fabric store in Philly. They had great
material at ass cheep prices. They were always well
stocked. The people working in there were super nice, but
now they're closing.

Now where are J'aime and I going to go to get good
reasonably priced fabric? Gaffney's? Gaffney's can suck
my dick! That tacky store, they haven't been good in
years. Yet my lovely slot up on Wadsworth is closing and
they remain? Life really is cruel...

What about South Street and the fabric district? I think
not. Kaunck's or whatever they're called is butt
expensive. And that other gritty spot down there...
What's it called, the Pennsylvania Fabric Outlet...?
They're good if you wanna get lace dirt cheep. Other then
that, they really don't have good prices. Then the other
slot on 8th street I'm not even going to talk about how
astronomical they were.

I think clergy cloth there was going for $15.99 a yard.
That's what I was paying for that really super-duper nice
lace that went over my Queen Esther dress. Not for some
clergy cloth. At a max that stuff should be $12.99. I
know the religious set are a tax free organization, but
damn, what if your congregation is poor? $15.99 is a bit
steep. I'm sure Kami-Sama would agree with me.

*Oh.... WAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!*

Well, I did end up getting some clergy cloth, but I don't
really like it. It's blue and black and I wanted black
and white, that was all that was left after those fabric
vultures were done up there. Oh well, I'll try to
make "Ordained by God" out of these colors and see what
happens. If I can manage to get a large majority of it
done this weekend, depending on if I like it or not, I may
just sell it alone with the remain fabric.

Ugh.... I brought 8 yards of that stuff too... What was
I thinking??? But I'll try to be optimistic, it may just
come out well, I don't know yet.

Woo-hoo: Nanimonai

Barf: Oh God... Sniff... Sniff... My fabric store is
closing forever. Shit, now where will J'aime and I go to
get good fabric?
