    i looked it up and velvet is not a fur. however the furry covering of moose antlers is also called velvet.


    baby seal fur is apparently simply called 'baby seal fur' i couldn't find any other term for it

    A fabric made from silk, nylon, acetate, rayon, etc., with a thick, soft pile formed of loops of the warp thread, either cut at end or left uncut. Velvet has a soft shimmering look in the light.

    Did you find them? What were the places like?

    I still want to go to Berlin and do the same with the places from the book Christianne F. .. a herion prostitute who 'worked' at Bahnhoff Zoo. There is a movie about her (in German) with a life concert of Bowie in it.. pretty cool.

    well lexington and 125th street, when i was living at 104, there was nothing there. all vacant lots but they were building a huge supermarket and there was a fire station. 125th street is the main blvd of harlem, which turns out is not a dutch neighborhood after all. but on the lexington end (far east) there is very little to see. its more like the 'bad' new york you see in the movies. boarded up houses, burned out stuff. it is called spanish harlem or 'el barrio' due to the puertorican influence. (the east side)


    he also talked about union square which is at 14th street and is more like the 'good' new york you see in the movies and on tv. or maybe he was talking about astor place on 8th street. i don't remember now.

    Velvet is far from rockin' and deserves any bashing she gets.

    Dude, you've done nothing but continuously bash her for NO GOOD REASON!!! She might have said something you don't agree with or maybe you've misunderstood something she's said. So your solution to that is flaming her in multiple threads? Constantly cursing her out for having an opinion that doesn't match your own? She shows love and compassion to many people here while keeping her individuality and unique outlooks on life and history. You come back at her with nothing but pure hate. She never did ANYTHING to you! What the fuck is your malfunction? Do everyone a favor and find yourself a better hobby than hatred and malice. Save it for Random Thoughts with the rest of the flamers.

    Now, back to the topic of Amsterdam...

    We all got Cadcruzer wrong, he didn't mean anything personal.

    Now come up with your explanation!

    Ohw thanks.. didn't really know what to make of it so I just thought I'd asked for clarification, 'cause as far as I know we two never had any problems so.. hehe.. damn.. way to overanalyze a picture eh? Sorry :) Thanks though, means a lot.

    The rest of you, thank you as well for sticking up for me.. :*

    I have VERY good reasons for coming back with the posts I have in regards to Velvet and her "holier than thou" schmap. These posts are far from flames and quite legitimate imo.

    Looks like you're the one who is "misunderstanding".

    Not sure if you simply don't have the time to do your research properly or you're just a clueless fuck like the rest. Either way, you can take your posts over to the Random Thoughts Forum and Fuck Off in the meantime.

    Now, back to the topic of Amsterdam...
