on Saturday I went to the Sheridan Outlet store in Surry Hills and bought new towels and beach towels - 40% off plus another 25% when I joined up as a VIP ... today they have an online Click Frenzy sale - 70% off ... don't you just hate that!!

Bought some more beachtowels (got them for 2 for $50 on weekend ... tonight they are $19 and I've just put together the family Kris Kringle and made sure all candidates we're buying gifts for are candidates for a lovely new beach towel ...

of course they aren't the new 'trendy' circular beach towels ...

WTF is with circular beach towels??

Never even heard of circular beach towels. Is this some strange southern thing?


Tell you what's embarrassing I really want those Christmas rashies. I think they're fab.
 
I'm shocked that so many didn't know of Regina George. EVERYONE knows Regina.

I genuinely assumed her named was embedded into everyone's lexicon.
 
I've never seen a circular beach towel.

I bought a $300 suit the other week. It's currently 30% off in the click frenzy sale and I have a mailing list 20% off that seems to be able to be stacked. Crap!
 
Golf is my favourite though.
I grew up with a golf course across the street from home ... had one lesson with the Pro ... embarrassed myself so much trying to show him I could hit that ball real hard (and totally missing it) and then of course getting all embarrassed and gauche when he tried demonstrating the correct stance etc with arms around me standing real close ...
so went home and told Dad - nope not going again ... don't like it ...boring ... not interested ...

and I DO wonder what the attraction is of hitting a small ball with a stick to a far away hole and getting frustrated beyond belief when the damn thing won't go in the stupid hole ... and then when you DO finally succeed you have to go do it again ... and again ... 18 times!!! and you see people traipsing around the course in the rain doing it!! madness!!!

at least with tennis you hit the ball ... it comes back to you and you hit it again ...

I don't know ... I just find golf a bit silly ...

Never heard of circular ones. How the hell do you position yourself to have it go around you? Cut a hole and make it a poncho? My beach towel is 6x6 feet or thereabouts. Looks like a towelling blanket and has been used as one. I love it.
I had golf lessons and loved them but suffered and still do from acute self consciousness. I haven't played for a very long time. I don't like being watched when I play except when I'm putting. I'm not too bad at that.

I zoomed in way too much to see if she was naked (she is not). Oh, but yes... the towel. It looks nice but is not remotely practical.

@Consuela - I blame YOU!!! I googled Christmas Rashy and seems there's a rash or two that people feel the need to photograph!!!

rotflmao!!! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Ha! I think it is a QLD thing fund raising for the cancer council.

This is what I'm talking about.

Also those circular towels look like they've pinched a rug from the lounge room.

The white one, while pretty, looks more like a floor rug and the blue one looks a bit like a table cloth. I do love a fringe on a towel though. You can't do that thing where you make it look like home made Wise Men headdresses in the school/church nativity play.

omg I wish I'd known about these earlier - would have been great Christmas stocking stuffers for the boys!!!

can register for early notice for the 2016 edition apparently!

love this idea ... cos I'm nuts like that!!!

I hate fringes on towels ... not sure why but they just really give me the heebie jeebies!! lol

I love mandala patterns so that would be why the circular towel might attract me at first (pretty design) but then they don't seem practical ...[DOUBLEPOST=1447756471][/DOUBLEPOST]
Dammit I actually kind of love those rashies.
me too - our unique take on the Ugly Christmas Sweater thing which we really can't do in our summer ... but THIS - we could do! lol

only thing is it seems they only bring out one design at a time ... so everyone's wearing the same jumper ... half the fun is comparing uglies ... I mean ugliness ... haha!!!
 
i like hearing waves lapping up on the shore at night ... or rain belting down on our tin roof ...

I don't however like thunder and lightning .. except if its miles and miles away and giving a good display ...

I love thunder & lightning, but only when i'm with someone. If i'm alone & it starts, I put on all the lights & turn the tv/music up real loud.

The adult equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears & going LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU I guess.

Sorry all, I will have to stay in this thread.

I can't go to the other thread with some idiots in there.
:O there is another thread :O

is this why some of the stuff that gets talked about it here goes way over my head?? I feel like I'm missing out sometimes and try scrolling back a few pages but still can't make sense of it

by all means join us = we're into circular towels, lightning and Ugly Christmas Rashies tonight :)

Yeah, the other thread with those who have no morals. I do like this thread better and I have morals, so I didn't really fit in there anyway. Now learned the lesson the hard way. OT thread is the best!
