I was out for a stroll when I discovered a little problem with my rings. IEQED made these gorgeous rings for mesh hands and she was thoughtful enough to include a little note so you knew which hands depending on your body etc. I read the card, saw that for SLINK it required ELEGANT hands and so hey I already had those on – huzzah!

Except, they didn’t fit. In fact, one ring was floating in space and the rest weren’t centered on my fingers. I’ve worn IEQED rings many times, I’ve never had this problem. I read the notecard again. SLINK ELEGANT. I messaged Cajsa, she said she had them and would check, she says “They fit fine.” Now I’m perplexed. Cajsa is wearing her SLINK elegant hands and they fit, and I’m wearing mine and they don’t fit and OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING??????

The thing about being Gidge is that most of my SL problems are ENTIRELY user errors. I’m always having clicked something off, got two sets of something on, etc. If you can do it wrong, I’ll do that thing. But this time I couldn’t sort out WHAT I’d done? I kept reading the notecard. SLINK ELEGANT.

So I went to plurk and asked if anyone had ever had a problem with rings not fitting the hands the notecard said it would? Someone popped up – “Are you wearing Elegant1?”

Elegant1? Needle scratch across vinyl…what’s Elegant1?

Ok so for all this time there have been a second set of hands in my SLINK ELEGANT folder called Elegant1. I thought they were a duplicate. I’ve NEVER thought twice about them. I may have even worn them from time to time never realizing that they were DIFFERENT. I looked back at the notecard and SON OF A BITCH if it doesn’t SAY ELEGANT1. CAN I LEARN TO READ PLEASE?

Just another example of what it’s like to be Gidge on the Grid. If it can be gotten wrong, I will be the one who gets it wrong, and then some.

When you put the right hands on, they’re flawless.
