Leather dye

[kennedia_nigricans]

I bought green leather dye. The shopkeeper told me that it was old but I didn't mind cos it's GREEN!

I got a brush and brushed it merrily onto my shoes until I wondered about the incredible stink so I read the label more closely.

The next 30 minutes I was thinking "What the hell?!?!?!?"

I am still not over it and I thought I share this one with you cos that is just another reminder why "the good old times" were only good when you were a white male. My dad uses the term "the bad old times" for that reason.

Sorry that was so large.  Pretty bad.

I saw other tins of Cherry Blossom shoe polish.  I had forgotten that one.  

"I clean my shoes with Cherry Blossom shoe polish,

which one will you choose?"

I showed it to hubby, wondering if there is another meaning of that word which I don't know, after all it's in foreign and I don't know every word of the english language but he said that there is no other meaning.

OK.....I cant even post a link here to the relevant information because the word in the url gets bleeped out and it takes you to a page that does not exists.

Google that word, go to wiki and scroll down to Translations

Last time I clicked on a link with bleep in it the link worked. It just reinstated the word when clicked on  😄

I don't need to test. If you recall the dunking thread had a word bleeped out and plenty of people linked to the age article.

I was testing it for myself.    I don't know the dunking thread you're talking about.   Just forget it LOL its not a big deal.

Thank you - this proves that there are pockets of my brain still functioning with a modicum of reliability. That's all I'm prepared to say!

What really concerns me is you dyed a pair of shoes GREEN?

Did pimpy dare you or something?

A friend of mine had a pair of green leather boots.   They looked great!!  Do you think I could find a pair anywhere?

I recall having a lime green pair of shoes and handbag to match when I was about 17, OMG I thought I was Elizabeth Taylor when I wore them HAHAHAHA

I had a similar ensemble - in emerald green faux snakeskin with 4 inch cork soles - gorgeous!
