candle parties

Holy crap, put a goth shine on and you'd make a bloody killing in Seattle.

edit: The moral is, married people are very, very different from me.

I know some people who actually put on those parties. They also do stamp parties, scrapbook making parties, and anything else they can use to guilt their friends into buying crap they dont need parties. It's a damn social disease.

that's a bit obsessive.

I know entirely too many people who put on those parties. The candle parties are definitely the worst. Who the hell needs to go to a party to buy a candle when they're available for 99 cents at the grocery store?

And the candle party "representative" has the nerve to teach you the "correct" way to burn the candles, and even how to clean the candles. Such a shame.

Once I have this baby and am not working any more, I'm adopting a strict "no going to the stupid 'buy shit from me' parties, ever" policy.

Oh, possibly even stupider than candle parties -- Body Shop parties. You know, The Body Shop, the toiletries stores that are everywhere these days? We have a Body Shop in our local mall, but the stupid women around here still have Body Shop parties where they expect you to buy Body Shop shit from them.

It's really insulting.

Say what ya want

My fiancee put on one of those once. It was kinda hokey and I'm glad I was no where near it, but the MAN, the candles smelled goood! They were little pricey but the scent lasted as well as the candle was longer lasting. Not that I'm really into candles, but I had to admit they were excellent.

That's pretty funny.

I didn't look at the pricing structure, but I know people who really are obsessed with candles and buy tons of them at IKEA and BBB. And yeah, I wouldn't GO to a fucking "buy this" party unless, you know, I actually wanted to buy something. Like the "passion parties" where they sell vibrators.

I'm so addicted to partylite I'm pondering selling it just to support my habit.

Hey that sounds familiar...

That shit is creepy. I like candles and all, but... well, the one cat isn't a problem, but the other would end up burning down the apartment unless I had him on the other side of the door from any flames other than those on the gas range.

But, still... Candle = party? In what world? And all the goth shine in the world won't make this puppy fly with me. Somehow, I don't think getting married will change my attitude on this. Alcohol, food, people, music, background movie... those're more partyish than candles.

Of course, the fact that I don't host crap at all might make this a moot point. :D
