#Carpet Ann Arbor

[hometoursandotherstuff]

Here’s a normal looking condo complex and this end unit, 2bd. 4ba. condo in Ann Arbor, Michigan is for sale for $315K. But, you can never tell what’s going on inside, can you? Surprise!

Welcome. Actually, I love that they decorated it. This is not just a condo, it’s a home. 

I rather like the red walls and jungle look. 

I doubt that the fireplace is original, so I wonder if conveys. 

Barbie kitchen. 

I don’t know if I like the gold stencils and I would like a lighter shade of pink. 

The dining area is so fancy.

The main bd. is a real Diva Den, but of course, all the decor will be gone, and the buyer will be left w/bare pink walls, so there’s that.

Oh, I should’ve known- the sign says “Jersea Girl.” She did us proud. 

Wow, look at the closet. Accessory city. I love this place.

One of the 4 baths.

So, this is one of the bds. that is clearly not being used as a bd. It’s already painted a nice dark color, though.

Oh, wow, look at this basement. Is that cake to jump out of on the left?

It is. I want a cake like that. I wonder if the leopard carpet stays.

Cute little powder room.

The Valentine bathroom. 

This is nice out back, you get a small private yard and a nice deck, plus a shed.

Glamorous Life

One of my most favorite compliments as an adult was being called glamorous! I was attending a house party being given by Dominic Vine, an artist, sex worker and writer who I had totally wanted to have relations with, but was okay just being in his very curious and fascinating presence. When I think of glamour I think of Lena Horne, Earth Kitt or Dorothy Daindridge, so it felt like such a blessing to be included amongst these classic goddesses.

I can't even lie I am not even sure what I was wearing that particular night, or when exactly I crossed the threshold into having a more elegant bearing. I think the potential was always there it just took a moment for me to refine and polish it. Curiously I have never made an attempt at categorizing my personal style, I just wear what I wear. I understand that what you wear and how you wear it is an extension of an expression of your personality and values. But sometimes you haven't come across the language in which you have your 'aha' moment.

Partially I feel this regal-ness started in high school, albeit my wardrobe would take more time to align with my internal feelings for myself. I remember I had this brown knit v-neck sweater that had a very deep neckline. I wasn't sure exactly how to wear the sweater a buttoned down shirt didn't feel right and neither did tank-tops they ruined the natural lines of the piece. So I would be bare-chested with my cleavage fully exposed. #TheGirlsWereOut My great posture and beautiful collar bones actually allowed me to carry this look off flawlessly. This would lead me years later to buying deep v-neck t-shirts from American Apparel which were my go-to travel looks. I was so sad when they closed and my source of deep v-necks dried up.

I have mentioned to the children that personal style is a journey, and I can recall certain pieces I used to own and how significant they were in elevating my style at the time. I remember some outfits I experimented with like this look I wore to work at The Public Theatre where George C. Wolfe the artistic director at the time had issue with, but wasn't man enough to say something to me himself, but sent underlings to attempt to make me feel less than.

The outfit was built around this neon orange mini dress I was gifted by a Soho boutique owner, that I was wearing as a top, these vintage polyester black bell bottom pants, and a navy morning coat with long tails that I had thrifted at my local thrift store in Williamsburg. The outfit was finished off with a long orange scarf with tassels and these vintage black 70s platform shoes I had thrifted in Ann Arbor. As far as I was concerned I looked amazing, and even visualizing the look today I did look good, it was a great pairing of items and my work was never constrained by what I wore or didn't wear.

Shelby Jiggets the dramaturg at the time took me aside and said that George had a problem with what I was wearing for the day, saying it lent itself to something reminiscent of a minstrel show. There was so much that was problematic with this summons, and this conversation. I a young dark-skinned gender non-conforming openly queer person was being called to the carpet by an older light-skinned and semi-closeted cis gay man who seemed to be mad at my young Black joy and self-expression.

This outfit was elegant and I daresay glamorous and it wasn't degrading to the history of Black people in America. I was dark-skinned but in no way possible was I dark enough to be confused with wearing blackface. I wasn't bulging my eyes or reddening my lips or acting cartoonishly Negroid, I was going about the daily tasks of my job as I would any other day with just a more elaborate ensemble. It was doubly insulting to be inside of a cultural institution where creativity was allegedly cultivated and to be told that I needed to be less creative in my own self-expression. #wtf

Working at the Public Theatre in the mid-nineties was such an honor and privilege for me so early in my theatrical career, and it was bolstered by the fact that most of the staff and crew were Black or people of color, it felt very affirming just working there. But it was also a great lesson in learning that in developing your personal style you're going to take risks and sometimes you will offend others, but you shouldn't let this discourage you from the journey of how to let your inside reflect on your outside.

We carry who we are, where we've been and what is important to us in what we wear and how we wear it. It always saddens me when folks don't use this very obvious platform as a form of self-expression, clothing can have an entire conversation with the world at large without even saying a word. Choose your words carefully.

Blue and Ray’s Wedding

The grand ballroom of the Monster Embassy was hung with blue and white streamers and sparkling lights. Golden chairs (last used at the winter gala) lined an aisle of white carpet. At the end of the carpet was an arbor of beautiful flowers: purple lilacs, white roses, and beautiful bluebells, along with others. A podium, decorated with the same flowers, stood under the center of the arbor. Papyrus stood behind it, beaming and wearing his official Monster Ambassador suit. As guests filed in and found their seats (with help from handsome skeleton ushers), Lucky played soft music on the piano off to the side.

Once everyone was seated, the doors at the top of the grand staircase opened. Blue, followed by Stretch, Sans, Red, Boss, Comet, and Anne, walked down the steps and up the aisle to the arbor. Blue beamed at everyone and stopped mid-aisle to give a hug to one of his students who just couldn’t sit still. Then he made his way to the podium. His groomsmen stood next to him and all eyes turned back to the staircase. Blue’s eye lights were already stars as he waited and watched for his beautiful bride.

The bridesmaids came in next—Ray’s sister, Queen, Snow, Kezi, Trashy, and Rainbow. All of them looked beautiful in pale blue dresses, with white roses in their hair. They stopped at the podium as well.

Two small children, an orange lizard monster and a small human girl, walked down the stairs next. The lizard boy carried a white pillow with two rings on it. The girl carried a basket of flower petals, which she scattered all along the aisle as she went. As they passed Blue’s class in the chairs, someone called out, “Hi Alfie ! Hi Essie!” The little girl kept going, but Alfie stopped long enough to say, “Hi!” He almost let go of the pillow but remembered himself in time. The children walked up and stood next to Stretch and Ray’s sister.

The music changed to “Here Comes the Bride” and everyone stood and turned to watch as the lady in question appeared at the top of the grand staircase. Blue’s eye lights changed to hearts as he saw her.

Ray’s hair was down in long thick brown curls, covered by the soft blue and white veil that was draped over her face, decorated with flowers and petals that almost seemed to be glowing in a soft light. Her dress was a soft blue and white color, going all the way down to the floor, with a large blue glowing flower on her waist. It almost seemed to sparkle and shine in the bright lights of the ballroom. Her bouquet that she held loosely in front of her was filled to the brim with blue bells, lilacs, chrysanthemums, and white roses, all framed by soft green ferns.

Ray opened her eyes, they were glowing softly as she looked at Blue, a soft smile on her face with light red cheeks. She slowly descended the stairs, the long train of her dress gliding behind her.

Everyone in the room gasped at the sight. Blue felt like his soul was going to burst out of his chest at the sight! He had to stop himself rushing to her and scooping her up. There will be time for that, he reminded himself.

Her father met her at the bottom of the stairs, a beaming smile on his face as he stood there in his tuxedo, along with very wet eyes. He offered his daughter his arm and Ray gingerly took it, smiling up at him. They slowly made their way forward to the podium, her eyes not once leaving Blue's face. When they finally ended the small journey, her father turned, gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead before patting her back and sending her towards her soon to be husband.

Ray made her way up to Blue, standing across from him.

“Hi love.”

“Hi,” Blue managed. He reached out and took her hands in his. “Are you ready?”

She gave his hand a soft squeeze and looked over at her family, the skelly's, everyone that was there, taking a moment to take it all in before turning back to him.

"Yes, I'm ready." She gave him a warm smile.

Blue smiled back and looked at Papyrus. He gave a small nod. Papyrus smiled back and began his well-rehearsed speech.

“Ahem! Hello, everyone! Welcome to the wedding! I am so excited and honored that Blue and Ray have asked me to be the person to marry them! I know humans out a lot of importance in this tradition. Monsters do too, even if our traditions are slightly different!

“In a moment, Blue and Ray will begin a magical ceremony that will begin the process to bond their souls together. After today, they will be a family, and their bond will make them closer and stronger than ever! This bond is started by the sharing of magic which is stored in vessels, which they wear to show their commitments to each other. Blue and Ray, do you have your rings?”

Alfie helpfully held out the pillow with the rings on it. Blue had to let go of one of Ray’s hands to take one of them—the slimmer of the two—off the pillow. It was made of gold, but with a band of white iridescent stone with intricate carvings in the middle.

“I have a ring for Ray,” Blue said. “My vessel, to show her my promise.”

She picked up the thicker ring, also gold with white stone, designed similarly to the other one. She whispered a quick thank you to Alfie before turning back to the two.

"I have a ring for Blue, my vessel to show him my promise.”

Alfie beamed and stepped back a little, his job done, and Papyrus continued.

“Hold the ring in your hand,” he said, “and look at your partner. As you speak the vows you have prepared, think of your love for them. Let that love flow from your soul through your fingers and into the ring.”

She gently held the ring in the palm of her hand, her eyes glowing brighter.

"My love... My dearest one… My knight in shining armor... The first time we met, there was a spark. It was small at first, gentle but never fleeting... But slowly it grew and grew with every moment spent until it became a strong flame, strong enough to weather the storms we came across... I never thought I'd be lucky enough to find love like this, to find someone that would accept and love me for who I am. Wherever this journey takes us, I promise I will stay by your side, now, until we are gone, with love from every corner of my being... My love, my soul is yours to keep for as long as it lasts." She felt herself choking up at the last sentence, tears forming at the corners of her eyes.

"I love you, Sans."

At the whispered statement, there was a flash of soft green and cyan light from the ring.

Blue found himself holding back tears. His soul felt as if it would explode with love for her. He looked into her eyes and focused on that feeling and on the ring in his hand. “My dearest Ray,” he said, “my love, my beautiful queen, I promise to be your husband from this day on. No matter what life brings, no matter what anyone says, I promise to love you and take care of you. From today, our souls are bonded and no one can break that bond. My soul, the essence of everything I am, is yours. I give it to you, freely and fully, forevermore. I love you more than anything in the world.”

As he spoke, his soul began to glow in his chest. The cyan light, visible through his suit, flowed through his bones and into the ring he held. By the time he finished his vows, the white center of the ring was glowing with the same light.

Papyrus had to wipe at his sockets before he could continue the ceremony. When he spoke, his voice was a bit shaky. “Now put the ring on your partner’s finger” he said.

She gently picks up the glowing ring on her palm, and takes Blue's hand. She carefully slips on the ring on his ring finger, and gives his hand a small squeeze before letting go and looking back up at Blue.

Blue took Ray’s hand and gently slipped the ring onto her ring finger. He pressed her hand between both of his.

Papyrus gave a huge sniff and continued. “Now that you have promised your souls to each other, seal that promise with a kiss.”

One step closed the distance between them. Blue wrapped his arms around Ray and leaned in, tenderly pressing his teeth to her lips. His magic tingled on her skin. The new rings glowed and both of them felt warmth flowing from their hands up into their chests. Blue’s soul song echoed through the room.

She kissed him back, her own magic tingling his teeth as she held onto him. She hummed in time with his soul as small trickles of tears ran down her cheeks... It was soft but there seemed to be another song, one coming from her own chest, creating a melody with his.

“By the power vested in me as the official Monster Ambassador, I, the Great Papyrus, declare you husband and wife!” Papyrus declared.

Blue didn’t want to stop kissing Ray, but there would be plenty of time to do so later, and there were guests to think of. He gave her one more squeeze and then pulled away (but not too far).

She was beaming, and she reached to hold his hand, not wanting to be far away from him either. She took enough time to wipe away her tears as she looked at him. "Would you look at that, we're married now!"

“We are,” Blue agreed, wiping away his own tears. “We’re really married!”

The room erupted in cheers!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hooray! They’re officially married!!! The reception role play will start soon! Be on the lookout for the starter post!

How Long Does Carpet Cleaning Take? A Guide For Customers

The ѕhоrt аnѕwеr for how lоng dоеѕ саrреt сlеаnіng tаkе іѕ: anywhere bеtwееn 5 minutes аnd 3 dауѕ. Dереndіng оn thе size оf the аrеа сlеаnеd, its соndіtіоn and stuff standing іn thе way оf the cleaner (dеѕkѕ аnd сhаіrѕ fоr еxаmрlе). In аddіtіоn, there is time nееdеd fоr thе саrреtѕ tо dry whісh should bе аddеd tо the ѕеrvісе tіmе.

Now Hеrе'ѕ Thе Lоng Anѕwеr

There аrе ѕеvеrаl fасtоrѕ thаt can іnfluеnсе hоw long thе carpet сlеаnіng wіll tаkе tо соmрlеtе, аѕ wеll аѕ thе lеngth оf tіmе іt will tаkе fоr the саrреt to dry аftеrwаrdѕ.

Size Of Arеа Tо Bе Clеаnеd - thе rulе оf thumb rеgаrdіng саrреt сlеаnіng іѕ usually 20 minutes реr room fоr ѕmаll rооmѕ (bеdrооmѕ, hallways), and 30 mіnutеѕ реr rооm for lаrgе rооmѕ (mаѕtеr bedrooms, lіvіng rooms, еtс.). However, thіѕ іѕ only a rulе of thumb аnd not ѕоmеthіng уоu саn depend uроn. If thе carpet іѕ heavily soiled, ѕtаіnеd, or just hаѕn't bееn сlеаnеd for a lоng tіmе, ѕеvеrаl runѕ wіll be nееdеd on the ѕаmе аrеаѕ, аddіng more tіmе tо thе carpet сlеаnіng. In addition, every run оf the саrреt сlеаnіng wаnd adds more tіmе tо the drying time.

Thе Condition Of The Cаrреtѕ - as mеntіоnеd аbоvе, heavy ѕоіlіng, lоtѕ оf grеаѕе оr juѕt some hard to remove ѕtаіnѕ can аdd a lot оf tіmе tо carpet cleaning. Bаѕісаllу, a more soiled carpet wіll rеԛuіrе a mоrе thоrоugh аррrоасh, іnсludіng pre-spray аnd mауbе еvеn agitation with a ѕресіаl mасhіnе. This саn аdd оn another 10-20 mіnutеѕ реr rооm, nоt including ѕеt uр tіmе whісh mау bе a fеw mоrе mіnutеѕ.

Whаt Thе Carpet Iѕ Mаdе Of - Natural fibers take lоngеr tо drу thаn ѕуnthеtіс fіbеrѕ, and also rеԛuіrе a different trеаtmеnt. Nаturаl fіbеrѕ аrе mоrе delicate. In аddіtіоn, thеу don't rереl ѕtаіnѕ аnd grease lіkе most ѕуnthеtіс fіbеrѕ dо. In general, nаturаl fіbеrѕ like wool would rеԛuіrе a mоrе ѕtrісt maintenance rоutіnе аnd mоrе frеԛuеnt сlеаnіng tо kеер thеm lооkіng thеіr bеѕt.

Addіtіоnаl Sоlutіоnѕ Aррlіеd - Depending on the соndіtіоn оf уоur саrреtѕ аnd уоur rеԛuіrеmеntѕ, thеrе mау be аddіtіоnаl ѕtерѕ tо carpet cleaning - рrе-ѕрrау bеfоrе the сlеаnіng, or аррlісаtіоn of protector after thе саrреt сlеаnіng is done. Eасh оf these ѕtерѕ аррlіеѕ mоrе fluid tо thе саrреt, аnd creates more mоіѕturе that nееdѕ tо dry. These ѕtерѕ саn аdd аѕ muсh аѕ half аn hоur tо thе саrреt сlеаnіng, аnd can lengthen thе drуіng tіmе bу twо hоurѕ or more.

Wеаthеr Cоndіtіоnѕ - Cаrреt сlеаnіng tіmе isn't аffесtеd much by thе weather соndіtіоnѕ (thоugh bad wеаthеr саn аffесt thе ѕеt up tіmе, mаkіng іt hаrdеr to gеt еvеrуthіng rеаdу fоr thе сlеаnіng). Hоwеvеr, drуіng time is аffесtеd vаѕtlу bу weather соndіtіоnѕ. The carpet cleaning іѕ done іnѕіdе. Whеn the wеаthеr соld, rаіnу, оr even very humіd, thеrе іѕ nо орtіоn tо air оut a rооm аnd lеt frеѕh аіr inside. Good vеntіlаtіоn hеlрѕ carpet dry mоrе ԛuісklу, ѕо bad ventilation саn grеаtlу іnсrеаѕе drуіng tіmе, Drуіng times саn even double іf thе hоuѕе іѕ vеrу соld wіth lіttlе or nо аіr mоvеmеnt.

Aіr Movement - carpet in a well aired rооm wіth ѕеvеrаl windows, оr even a сеіlіng fаn wоuld bе аblе tо dry fаѕtеr thаn іn a сlоѕеd room wіth no аіr flоw. Sometimes durіng wіntеr, іf your саrреt сlеаnеr саn allow it, hе wіll lау out a fеw drying fans tо ѕhоrtеn the drуіng tіmе оf the carpets. Nоt аll саrреt сlеаnеrѕ do thіѕ, ѕо іf thіѕ іѕ important tо уоu аѕk аbоut іt bеfоrе уоu ѕсhеdulе уоur арроіntmеnt. This can grеаtlу rеduсе drying time if thе weather requires the hоuѕе to stay ѕhut (аnd thеrе іѕ nо air ventilation ѕуѕtеm available - аn HVAC unіt you саn turn on or a fаn that will air thе rooms).

Hоw Lоng Wіll It Tаkе Tо Clеаn My Cаrреtѕ?

Wе ѕuggеѕt уоu сlеаr 1.5-2 hоurѕ for the сlеаnіng арроіntmеnt, аnd 6-8 hours for drуіng tіmе оf the carpets (but can gо up to as muсh аѕ 24 hоurѕ dереndіng on the соndіtіоnѕ). If уоu have thе орtіоn, сhооѕе warmer weather fоr your саrреt сlеаnіng арроіntmеnt.

Evеn іf thе cleaning арроіntmеnt wіll tаkе a lоt of tіmе, іt іѕ well worth уоur time. All thе оdоrѕ rеmоvеd, thе lооkѕ оf thе саrреtѕ rеnеwеd аgаіn, аnd the whole fresh fееlіng оf thе hоmе.
