misadventures in fandom merch
Guess what I finally managed to get my hands on, after almost two years of yearning for it. The Art of Oban Star Racers! It was an entire adventure, involving everything from packages lost in the mail to a hidden second-hand bookstore right in the heart of my city.
Tumblr media
To get the story started, I ordered this artbook and two other books somewhere around Orthodox Easter of this year (late April) after managing to scrounge up some money for them. The Book Depository was my shop of choice, due to their free worldwide shipping (I want to make it clear that this isn't a post bashing on TBD, they've been nothing but fair in their dealings with me. It's just that cheap shipping options + the chronic disaster that is the Romanian Post apparently do not mix). May came and went... and no sign of the books. Same for June, July and August. By September I was sick of waiting (which I'd done only in the hope that the order was just waylaid somewhere and might still arrive, so no point in asking for a replacement). Finally, I contacted TBD customer service at the start of this month and told them everything, including the fact that my local post office had no idea where on earth the package was (no tracking number = no one knows where it is, because shit doesn't get registered on the basis of a name or address when it enters the country. There isn't even any sort of automated sorting of the mail, everything is still done by hand, with people waddling through mountains of packages, trying not to get crushed underneath a parcel avalanche. Astounding, I know). TBD were helpful and offered me a choice between a full refund or re-sending the package and I went with the second option. Yesterday (24th of October) an international order finally arrived. Here's where it gets really wild. On the basis of the invoice inside the package, this might be the initial order I made all the way back in April (that or TBD never updated the date on the second invoice, I don't even know). To make the whole thing even funnier, the two books and their invoice were in the package... but the OSR artbook wasn't (to be fair to TBD, they do say on the invoice itself that if there were more books in the order, they'll arrive in separate packages). At this point I was faced with more waiting for the artbook. So I said "fuck it!" and went online to find it over here as well. The reason I didn't buy it from our sellers in the first place was the steep price, higher than the one in the UK. However, this time there was a speck of luck on my side and I found the artbook among the listings posted by a used bookstore in downtown Bucharest, at an absolute steal of a price (20 RON, so about five USD / EUR). Still thinking it was too good to be true, I reserved it and went down to the shop to pick it up in person. And here it is, after months of anticipation and anxiety. With an external jacket that's a little scuffed and dog-eared in the corners, but at this price, it's entirely worth it, flaws and all. There's a funny story connected to the used bookstore as well, I never knew of its existence. Despite the fact that it's right on the route I used to take when coming and going from university, ten years ago. And this is because the bulk of it is underground, in a former wine cellar converted into a large book-shop. The street-level floor, by comparison, is tiny and utterly unassuming, reason why I never bothered walking in there, until now! Currently reading through the artbook and I'll be posting a couple of excerpts soon, because there are some excellent details in here!

Teenager Auctioning Her V*******y To Buy A New Car
An 18-year-old woman has offered to sell her virginity to the highest bidder so she can buy a new car.
Kim – who is of German and Austrian heritage – put herself on the German-based website Cinderella Escorts seeking bids of $173,000 or more. “Hello, my name is Kim and I want to sell my virginity,” she wrote in her bio with a list of likes that include Greek food, flowers, and orange juice.
“After I read about other virgins who sold their virginity on Cinderella Escorts I asked myself one question. Should I give my virginity to a man who later on maybe will break up with me or is it better to take a lot of money instead?” The 18-year-old said she wanted to use the money made from auctioning off her virginity to buy a car, an apartment and fund her studies in Germany or Vienna.
The escort website features a section dedicated to virgins, with eight girls currently listed. The site claims all girls are “inspected” by a doctor to ensure they are still virgins and invites buyers to conduct their own checks.
Kim said that she was inspired by Romanian-born Aleexandra Khefren, 18, who made international headlines after selling her virginity for $3.2 million to a Hong Kong businessman.
The teenager appeared on UK breakfast television in December last year and explained her decision to auction herself off to the highest bidder.
“I am thinking it is strictly business not emotional. I will just drink a glass of wine and go through with it,” she told This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield.
“I’m a father, I’ve got two girls who are not far off your age, I have to say to you now … are you out of your mind?” Schofield responded.
Khefren said she would use the money to help her family, despite her parents threatening to disown her if she went through with the auction.
Cinderella escorts reportedly takes a 20 percent cut from each auction.
