It was a lovely holiday season for me. Miss Ariane contacted me with a trade offer for a painting that she created using some cigarette coupons I traded her a few years ago as the background. She has traded with me a few other time in the history of bARTer Sauce.
Q: How long did it take you to figure out what to do with those cigarette coupons after I traded them to you?
A: As soon as I saw them on BARTersauce!
Nik has answered so many "interview" questions at this point I wasn't sure there would be anything else we could learn about him. I've basically unzipped him, turned him inside-out and shaken him until all of his insides spilled out all over in previous interviews. I was fortunate that I saw him posting on Facebook about moving a lot recently. Finally. Something new to talk about! Also, I ended up mailing his package to the wrong address (still claim this is not my fault) so we cover that as well.
Just because Debra traded me a quilted vagina - it didn't mean she got away without answering some "interview" questions. Mmmmwwwwahahahahahahahah
Q: Where did you hear about The Sauce?
A: The Sauce,....well actually, I rarely touch the stuff.
Q: I noticed that most of the other quilt pieces that had yoni themes were a bit more subtle. Do you think the addition of hair helped you or hurt you in the yoni competition?
Q. Tell me something your aunt did - other than call you Barbie.
A. She also called me "Ginny" which I hated & scared the crap out of me when I had to ride in in a vehicle with her.
Q. How big of a dog is too big?
A. Is there such a thing as too big? Maybe Clifford size.
Q. If someone offered to give you laser hair removal for free - but only on one leg, would you do it?
A. You bet! 1 less leg to shave &/or slice to shreds with the razor of doom.
Marry, like all Sauce traders before her, patiently responded to my "interview questions":
Q. How did you hear about The Sauce?
A. I must admit, I'm not sure of how I've gotten to know The Sauce. I must've stumbled across it while searching myself for interesting stories and strange objects.
Q. Do you like to rock?
A. I like to scissor more.
Q. If fatty wants a party, should fatty get a party? (Fatty is a cat)
A. Fatty deserves to party too!
Q. How many episodes of Top Model have you watched in a row?
A. .75
Q. Did you know that there is sort of a plot in the show Jersey Shore that only comes out when you watch it on pain killers?
A. Only because I read your Facebook posts.
Michelle was kind enough to tolerate my ridiculous "interview" questions:
Q. How old were you when you first kissed someone?
A. I was twelve in a group of friends playing "spin the bottle." I had to kiss a boy -ewe! It was just plain awkard in the middle of puberty.
Q. Do you have any pets?
A. I run with 3 dainty toy poodles and a peekapoo. Two of them are granny poodles.
Q. What are your hobbies? How do you spend your time?
Last time he brought me the Perpetual Motion Machine. This time he brought me an awesome painting of a ship and took pictures of every leg of the trip. This thing traveled at least two busses and one ferry - possibly more. I'd had some wine when I heard the story so I might not have gotten all the facts straight.
This is the email Ryan sent me the morning after First Thursday
I always like to find out what happens to trades after they leave my hands and I thought you guys might be curious as well.....
Hey,
I don't remember what you said I was suppose to write to you about. Any-whoo, the eye candle that I received- we burned it after artwalk. Then I left it at my friends house. Just wanted to write you before I forgot.
XO
Ryan
Q: Where did you get the glasses you were wearing at First Thursday?
Q. How did you hear about The Sauce?
A. I saw the display ad for bARTersauce when I was at the EtsySaver.com website. This ad made me curious. I wasn’t sure if I should eat it, wear it, or play with it. I had to go and find out!
Q. What % of your underwears have you made and what % have you bought?
