Welcome to Poshmark! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! With larger closets like mine, I highly recommend using the filter option when shopping. Happy Poshing!!!

Hi Leslie. I bought a woven bag from you yesterday. Thank you.
If you have an email address where I can contact you could you send it to me.. I tried dovandesign.com but does not seem to work and then added stagingplacessouthhampton.com. Thank you
damiangray
@mich5201 hi try donovandesign.com again okay? I'd rather not post my private email on here..just go to "contact". should work! Also other contact info is on there. if you'd like you can provide me with yours if that is convenient for you.. I shipped the bag and have been tracking it.. Should be arriving as we speak or soon after!... thanks!
damiangray
@mich5201 make sure you spell it correctly, that could be the problem.. I'll check on my end.
damiangray
@mich5201 PS. Don't forget to replace "at" with the "@" symbol when you try to email me thru the site. its specifically spelled out that way to avoid spam and robots . thanks!
damiangray
@mich5201 I see its arrived, excellent!
mich5201
Continue..I have never had a site ask for such private information.
I was wondering if you sell on any other sites because it seems this site does not answer any of its emails about any concerns and have not heard from them since. And am not going to give out this information.
damiangray
@mich5201 Hi, Thanks again , it arrived today... Sorry it didn't work out for you, Best Leslie
mich5201
Hello Leslie, Im glad you received your bag. I would like you know that it cost us $17.80 to mail this back to you because you could not wait for Poshmark to send me a label.Now there telling me if I do not download there label I will not receive my money. I want you to contact them and tell them to return my money and why I did not download there label. Being new to Poshmark this has been a horrible experience.
damiangray
@mich5201 Michele the minute that I got my bag back I emailed PM & refund your money so I could relist the bag .
You could have downloaded the label they sent you when they officially settled the case, after I informed them I was willing to take it back.
I'll email them a photo of the returned box .
Send them a copy of your postage receipt. If you don't the bag & your funds will remain in limbo.
Please stop blaming people .This will get resolved it's just taking longer
damiangray
@mich5201 Please realize that you never mentioned to me that you hadn't printed out a PM label.
I've just sent 2 emails with a photo of the box you returned to me, clearly showing both addresses.
One thru the case thread & the other via the email noted for PM customer service. It'll probably take 24 hrs.
mich5201
Excuse me Leslie but I received the bag this Saturday and informed you of the terrible smell . You are the one who wanted it to mail it to you on Monday. Poshmark only mailed me the label on Tuesday. Your the one who look up my address Sunday night and emailed all the the post office that were in my areaAnd that you had to have the bag back before I return from out of town. So you should stop blaming your customers when your the one who is sending out defected merchandise
damiangray
@mich5201 Wow you're something alright.. I should have known at the first misstep and then after all your confusing communications that followed after that.
Btw, the bag has no smell whatsoever
NONE.

I absolutely LOVE your style ❣️✨

igby1979
@damiangray Just seeing your profile photo... Sis! You’re beautiful and SO chic! I adore you! I love that you were a stylus for a YSL. I was in the publishing business for a while - when it still existed - and Was a Photo Editor for a handful of different men’s magazines. I was always very envious of whomever was the stylist on set because I’ve always felt it’s the best and most exciting job! I think it’s too late for me now because I’ve been out of the game for so long... and I’m 41 lol.
damiangray
@igby1979 41,??? A mere child!!
I started my staging business out here at 50! No apologies..or excuses. Talent is talent and work is love made visible.
Thank you for your generous compliments..
I'd love to see your collection! Am sure it's a doozie!💞💞💞
damiangray
@igby1979 Love that you worked for mens publications, My time at YSL was on the mens collection side. my best client was Marty Richards,the guy who spent 20 yrs trying to get Chicago produced! loved him.
All the others were womans couture..I also styled for NYMag, "Best Bets" w Corky Pollan.
How that industry has changed,eh?
richera137
Nice to meet you 💐

atascocita
Would you consider $100 on the cross you have marked $145? I hate to just throw an offer out....so impersonal!
damiangray
@atascocita Hello & thank you!
I think you're referring to the Byzantine Cross w heavy chain..The cross itself was pricey & the chain alone cost me over $200 before tax, then deduct the 20%PM comm. so as much as I'd love to I'm afraid cant go that low. You were thinking of purchasing both together as seen, correct? at this price it really is a steal... Best,Leslie
atascocita
@damiangray I totally understand. Let me think about it
damiangray
@atascocita Sounds good!..I appreciate the manner in which you suggested the offer..That part can get so rude sometimes
atascocita
@damiangray agreed!
damiangray
@atascocita Thank you! I'll get it ready to send right out.
I know you'll love it!
atascocita
@damiangray I know I’ll love it, love your style 😍
damiangray
@atascocita That's so nice of you to say...Thank you! Your necklace has started tracking so hopefully shouldn't take too long to arrive! Stay in touch, tho brief, it's been nice meeting you!
All the best, Leslie

atascocita
@damiangray LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the cuff!!! Thanks so much...
damiangray
@atascocita WOW!!!That's so great to hear, Enjoy! Thank you, be well, ❤ Leslie
atascocita
@damiangray wanted to let you know I haven’t received my cross;I’m bummed. It says delivered on the 28th and it’s not been at my door or in my mailbox. Informed Poshmark
Hoping someone will get back from Thanksgiving and realize they have my package. I’ll keep you abreast ✌️
damiangray
@atascocita thank you..I read the same info and couldn't imagine that you were still pending acceptance...that's not your style!😊 Keep me posted..its good we have the tracking number, I'll stay in touch too..have a good night! I'll bet it shows up tomorrow🤞
atascocita
@damiangray morning! Was the necklace in a box or padded envelope? I’m doing some follow up on my own 😎
damiangray
@atascocita We are pretty sure it was a padded USPS envelope..I'll do some asking with my post office too..Has your mail arrived today ?
damiangray
@atascocita I'm so sorry this delivery is causing you so much angst..I'm hoping it's just holiday mail traffic..
atascocita
@damiangray going to check now. Post office said delivered to my mailbox but not there. Hoping it was placed in the wrong one and it will be returned. Fingers crossed
damiangray
@atascocita 🤞🤞🤞
damiangray
lori Klein Thank you for all the likes..Feel free to bundle & I'll do my best to strike us both a deal!
damiangray
@atascocita I'm hoping no news is good news....
atascocita
@damiangray still nothing. They said give it until Dec 3rd
🤗
damiangray
@atascocita okay, keeping fingers crossed. has anything like this ever happened before? where mail has gone missing and later shown up?
I have this feeling that you'll find it...hoping I'm right.
atascocita
@damiangray I’m hoping you’re right, also but not yet!
I’ve only lived here about a year so I suppose anything’s possible. I’m sure it happens...the good ole post office
atascocita
@damiangray I GOT IT!!! I’m so excited...stalked my mail carrier (who had been off for 2 weeks) and she found it in another person’s box. Hallaujah I love it 🥰, is great!!!
damiangray
@atascocita OMG!!! That's so great,I am thrilled for you! What great detective work you did!!!😎 Thank you so much for the wonderful rating and for saying such nice things about the transaction..It's been such a pleasure..Really!❤
atascocita
@damiangray We should be able to touch base every now and again, w/o using this app!
damiangray
@atascocita Yes! That would be good..
I hate to post anything personal on here for fear of junk mail, calls etc.but if you ever want to get in touch, google Donovan Design or dononvandesign.com & all my contact info will come up under "contact". Have a great day!
atascocita
@damiangray thank you. I will ❤️

damiangray
@atascocita I have been!..My gawd the pressure!😉
atascocita
@damiangray I’ll have to take a gander! No pressure...
damiangray
@atascocita Please do. no pressure, I'd welcome the opportunity to give you a great deal..til the next time stay well...
atascocita
@damiangray you, too 😘
ninfnatk
Thank you for the generous offer Ms.Leslie. But I can’t buy anymore boots. I literally have boots everywhere in my room. My closet is full of boots and shoes. Once I start selling off some of my heels I can have more room. Then I will fill it up with more boots lol. I hope your well 😘.
damiangray
@ninfnatk I TOTALLY understand,take care!
atascocita
I just bought a pair in Fort Worth and paid a considerable amount. I did get a medium and they’re great!
Hope you’re well 😘
damiangray
@atascocita to what are we referring? LOL??
atascocita
@damiangray Sorry ‘bout that! I didn’t comment in the correct place so you would know what the hell I’m talking about 😂. You’re pink striped pj’s you discounted. I was hesitant about a small so I’ve been circling around the decision on whether or not to purchase. Came to Fort Worth for a spell and ran into the same ones in a medium. Purchased them for $155...LOVE!!! 💕 Not a bargain like yours but great sleepwear.
damiangray
@atascocita now I understand! the med fits well? dont they run a little oversized? anyway, enjoy!! they're a great gift and yes the price is right!
atascocita
@damiangray I like ‘em big! 😂😂 I’ll check your new listings 😘
damiangray
@atascocita Me too!😄
atascocita
@damiangray 🤣

atascocita

barbsbazaar
Hi, I thought that I would answer here. There's a few new users that are selling a single pair of men's swimming trucks and they are all using photos off the net for their profile pics. Some of the photos are of actresses, models, authors, etc. Are they scam accounts, I wonder. Also, a lot now selling Telfar bags and using photos of other people. I was just looking at new people to follow and share their items to help them and I got addicted to trying to find scam accounts, LOL.
damiangray
@barbsbazaar
Lol!
I understand exactly what you're saying!.. I was just showing my husband how nearly all of my new followers have "head shots" like young models and never really post anything. I'm wondering how the scam works? are they here to scope out our private information
? Poshmark feels pretty security driven,no? thanks for replying
barbsbazaar
@damiangray I was just reading on FB that someone posted that she received a random shirt when she bought a $115 Bogg bag. She researched and found other people received random things like straws. Others commented on the post that maybe the sellers are hoping that people do no accept their order so are automatically paid after 3 days. I don't see the point of these scams, since sellers don't get paid immediately after purchase.
damiangray
@barbsbazaar
You're probably right...
Not sure how it works but I guess they can make a few bucks here & there...

Your closet is exquisite! I could stay here all day! I was a district manager for the fragrances and cosmetics division of YSL and Guy Laroche in the 80’s in Dallas. 🌺 Happy Poshing! Love the pics of your life!
damiangray
@warnocks OMG! How trippy is this! I worked for both during the same time you did!..Guy was still alive, the shop was on 57th bet.Mad & Park. I loved the original Drakkar..YSL was on Madison, Claude was in charge & Mary Kate was the manager. I couldn't have hoped for a better education.
What a nice message & compliment to receive! Really nice to hear from you. Stay well Happy Poshing! 💞💞💞
warnocks
One of the saleswomen in my district won the entire contest for most Drakkar sales and she won the car! My 10 year old son took hundreds of mini sample Drakkar bottles to school and sold them for 10.00 each until his teacher caught on. Even middle school boys loved Drakkar in the 80’s! 😎
damiangray
@warnocks Now that's a kid after my own heart..
I wore it too, loved it!
warnocks
@damiangray Hey Leslie, Good Morning, may I bother you for a moment? I received a Guy Laroche watch when I left the Company and I wore it forever. Do you have an idea what I would price it at if I were selling it? Vintage 80’s, no box. Keeps perfect time, I no longer wear a watch No need!😁
damiangray
@warnocks hi,good morning..I never worked with the jewelry end.
have you tried googling? tell me about it..lesther,stainless etc.?
damiangray
@warnocks p.s 😊
I noticed quite a few Guy LaRoche watches selling online ,even a few here on on Poshmark in all different material and most were priced well,depending on wear, style etc..
It's definitely perusing and will be helpful in pricing your own when you're ready.
best,Leslie
warnocks
@damiangray Thank you!! I’ll do that. 😀
damiangray
@warnocks... sounds good!
warnocks
Hi Leslie, just wanted to see what you’re up to! I imagine the shoot you were doing is over and I hope it went well. The Hermes scarves you’ve listed are gorgeous! Truly beautiful! I’m looking for beautiful, not so expensive scarves to revive a business I used to have in Dallas.
warnocks
I would use worn jean jackets and embellish them with designer scarves. Sold them in privately owned boutiques. I’m going to do it again and sell them on PM. So if you know of a good source for scarves let me know. Have a great day!
damiangray
@warnocks Hi, ...Sounds lucrative! I'm pretty sure poshmark would be a great resource ..Thrift stores and second hand shops too! Do you have any photos of your reworked jean jackets?
warnocks
@damiangray Just one from forever ago and everything else is sold. I have found some scarves on PM but the real ones are too expensive! I want to buy the Jean jackets off PM as well, kind of spread the business around. 🙂
damiangray
@warnocks sounds like a good plan! why'd you stop making them? as far the good ones costing more doesnt it even out with the price of the jacket? theres millions of those on here!
warnocks
@damiangray I stopped to start a business making high end business clothes for plus size women. I’m the 80’s there was really nothing decent for bigger sizes. I did the designing, pattern making, sewing, everything and eventually got a couple of little Vietnamese women sewing for me. They were fast and amazing!
warnocks
I did OK for several years and showed at the Dallas Apparel Mart and then I got a huge order from a major department store and I knew I couldn’t fill it! Not enough fabric, not enough help—this was before the internet made things so much more accessible.
warnocks
I was also raising 3 kids. My husband also decided about this time that we needed to move to Colorado to help his parents so I just walked away! Didn’t fill the big order and just closed that chapter of my life. 😢
damiangray
@warnocks I can totally relate, having started new chapters a few times myself.. when we first started out in the lamp design business my husband Art was making lamps on a makeshift table made out of a door in my mom's garage in Long Beach..I remember freaking out over large orders too..We eventually found a place out east.
warnocks
@damiangray I remember Todd Oldam saying he didn’t have fabric for his first collection so he was literally dying sheets in his grandmother’s bathtub to make his samples. That’s determination!
warnocks
My husband, John, was a real estate agent/ interior designer. He’s obsessed with lamps! He should’ve been a lamp maker—he’s bought zillions of them. Our kids groan every time he visits because they know he’s bringing some bizarre lamp to their house!
damiangray
@warnocks That's so cool, maybe should show him Arts website?
www.donovandesign.com
He'll probably flip! 😊.. Liking them is alot different than making them by hand from scratch.. We started out cause we couldnt find any lamps we liked! Art's very first design wound up being featured in the Whitney Museum and here we are 32 yrs., 4 museum exhibits, countless trade shows & 3 books later...
No wonder I'm exhausted. Yes you're right, it takes passion & determination.
warnocks
@damiangray We will go to Art’s website! Wow, you guys have done amazing things!!
🤩
damiangray
@warnocks You too! ..
huff, puff...
warnocks
@damiangray Hi Leslie, tripped the other day and knocked out one and loosened 2 other teeth! They can’t be saved. 😥 Waiting to heal so I can get implants, not how I wanted to spend 30,000.! Went to your husband’s website. His work is stunning! That moon TV is awesome! You’re such a talented and good looking couple! He’s the father of steampunk! That’s so cool! How long have you guys been together?
damiangray
@warnocks that's terrible!!! Join Dentalplans.com ...they have ] reduced dental plans for roughly $200 a year, you can add as many family members as u want too! I've been a member for 20yrs. I chose the Cigna Plus plan had my whole mouth done what would have been $20,000 cost me $10,000..like is said its reduced fees not insurance..mention me & iIl get like $10 off my next cleaning lol!
damiangray
@warnocks
Thank you for liking our work! That's so funny! the piece you mentioned. "the Lunativo" was Arts most expensive piece and sold last Christmas to "Drake", the rapper.
You have an amazing eye!

@warnocks Together 38 yrs. 2nd marriage for both. You're right in 2009 Art took Steampunk off the internet & introduced it to the world on an International level. His book "the Art of Steampunk" was #1 on Amazon for 9 wks. & was added to Oxfords Art curriculum after our exhibit. I'm very proud of him,never expected to go the places Steampunk has taken us. Check out the " Odd Beauty" t-shirt in my closet if u want I'll send you one. It won't fix your teeth but may make you smile.
warnocks
@damiangray So who is the little guy that Art is holding in your pics? Such a cutie!
warnocks
Dental is unreal! My dentist sent me to a specialist, an oral surgeon. He wanted 4,000.00 up front just to pull the teeth and we have insurance! I don’t know what people with no insurance or no savings do! My daughter’s a doctor but she can’t fix teeth, my grandson wants to be a dentist but that’s years away. And, I would love a tee shirt!! It would make me smile!😁😁

@warnocks
okay ,what size? pretty sure all the XS & S are gone

@warnocks
Hey again, hows the mouth?
Has your brain healed from Easter yet?
I just wanted to share with you a pic of Art's "Shiva Mandala" pendant since you've been bit by the Steampunk bug!..Hangs next to my desk (6ft x 6ft) in our tiny artist shack in the country🤪 ( 4th pic down )..Let me know how things are coming along in your own world of art & inspiration...
warnocks
@damiangray Hey!! Your hubby is a genius! Truly, his pieces are absolutely stunning!! I want to see them in person! My mouth is killing me! I have cuts all along the roof of my mouth from food that I can’t chew properly. I’m eating cups and cups of Cup of Noodles. I go today to get more impressions made and the first of May they start putting teeth back in.
warnocks
Part of me just wants to keep things the way they are and not deal with all that’s coming. They say it’s months before you get used to speaking and eating with teeth that aren’t really teeth.
warnocks
New subject—I’m nervous to let you know but I listed 3 of the bowls I’ve finished in my closet last night. I’m nervous because I value your artistic eye and your opinion so I will just have to deal with it if you hate them! Check them out and give me your honest critique. 🥴
damiangray
@warnocks
I think they're gorgeous! I usually don't pick out favorites of art, each speaks for itself, but I especially like to ode to Arizona...having been invited to a Hopi reservation there years ago I have an appreciation of its beauty. I think the location was Mesa,Ariz.
with regard to the teeth. ..
damiangray
@warnocks try not to worry it doesn't take that long to adjust once there fitted properly,and they'll look gorgeous!
I primarily ate mashed potatoes, cheese blintzes, soup & milk shakes but that was it, so I had to compensate the loss of nutrients with protein shakes & like you, could barely chew anything else. After 2 yrs if that torture, my first greasy delicious hot dog tasted like a 6 course meal at the French Lzundry!
damiangray
@warnocks You'll get through this, hopefully the worst is over for awhile & youll find your sense of humor is now your best friend! it's quite admirable that you continue to create so kudos to you on such beautiful, thoughtful art!
It's a 2 hr ride on the jitney or car,but you're all welcome to visit us in Southampton during your visit in Sept. Its such a magnificent time of year in New York..❤❤❤

@warnocks
P,S.
Your closet looks great!

@warnocks p.s.p.s😂
As I work today, I have poor Johnny Depp on the stand, Live Court TV playing in the background..
damiangray
@warnocks "the Bowl of Conspicuous Opulence",
great titles! I love the Flying pig ( New Mexico, I think?) and the Arizone turquoise. All are very beautiful..Art & I are fans of the "flying pig" if you will and have one on the window ledge showcasing the factices 😊 Is that an actual object on the bowl or a paper image within the decoupage? I thought it may be raised but unsure..
warnocks
@damiangray Poor Jonny Depp!! Thank you for the kind comments!! We love the flying pigs as well! Each of my kids have large ones in their yards, it was always something I would say to them when I didn’t want them to do something “you can when pigs fly!” All of the images are individual and then layered on top of one another.

My in-laws have been trading with the Native Americans since the 50’s. They amassed quite a collection of rugs, baskets, jewelry, pottery, etc. They had a thriving trading post in the 60’s and sold to Ralph Lauren, Robert Redford, Buddy Hacket, just to drop a few names!!! They passed the love onto their children and we have passed it on to ours.
warnocks
We sell a few things here and there, but for the most part we’re keeping our collection for our kids. Rugs and pottery prices have climbed so high that it’s hard to find a reasonable deal anymore. Most of the bowls I do will be centered around New Mexico and Arizona and then of course fashion! 😎

YOURE SO COOL AND ELEGANT!!

@aabrie_c
That's so sweet of you to say! Thank you!,❤
warnocks
Hey friend! Just stopped by to say “Hi” and I hope you’re doing well and to tell you I just ordered Art’s book “The Art of Steampunk”. I’m trying to do a Steampunk piece but I don’t really understand it so I thought the book might help. We just got home from Santa Fe and Arizona and I’m worn out but I’ve got to get cracking on my bowls and jackets. I got a custom order for a bowl and another bowl sold so I’m pretty excited to start making lots of them. 🙃
damiangray
@warnocks
thanks again for ordering Arts book..its the extended version that includes the Oxford exhibition as well as some artists not included but that Art wanted to see get noticed..One of our exhibitors got an Academy award for animation! You'll notice a page that shows us a bunch of us having dinner. that's one of the few times I let them photograph me,lol!
damiangray
@warnocks
in the beginning during set up I turned the corner and Art had a whole camera crew from BBC interviewing him..I did a quick u turn and disappeared in the woodwork.
hope you enjoy the book..you can always contact Art if you've other questions.
warnocks
@damiangray I feel exactly the same way about cameras, being filmed or recorded! I hate pictures of myself but you look amazing in pics!! Speaking of the long flow of inappropriate posts, too much information!!! I don’t know what to do about that, wish I could delete them all!! Can you do that?
damiangray
@adoringstyles hi there..I'd have done that without you reminding me, but thank you,have a great day..
warnocks
Hey you! Thanks for all the shares!! I love your closet, lots of new awesome stuff! I’m drowning at my new job and come home exhausted! Hope you’re well! 😃
damiangray
@warnocks hey you! How are you & how are you feeling???
Thought of another " Liz-ism" that might put a smile on your face😊
While I was out in Calif being crazy & making my mother even crazier she sent me a card that read " friends may forsake you but a good bra will never let you down"
As I got older I realized how TRUE it was! 🤣
Anyway, when you get a minute drop me a line & let me know how you're doing..

warnocks
Hey you!!! It’s so good to hear from you!!! I’ve been kind of down and feeling sorry for myself so it’s awesome to have a note from you! I just can’t seem to get well! I’ll feel good for a week or two and then bam! I’m feeling horrible again. I can’t seem to get anything done and I feel frustrated and discouraged. I just can’t get back on my feet!!! But I will! I have to! How are you doing?!!! Thanks so much for the note, you made my day!!! ❤️🌺❤️
damiangray
@warnocks hi again,you can see in the above photo of Art and I where I had the MOHS surgery on not forehead ..that where the new biopsy was performed I wanted to be safer than sorry..My skin is prone to sun spots..I always say they're shaped like like island I got them on..Oh look! Theres Oahu!🤣
damiangray
@warnocks How are you today?
warnocks
@damiangray 🤣 That’s one way to look at sunspots! A souvenir from each sunny spot! We’ll, I spent ALL day and part of the night in the ER yesterday and I now know why I haven’t been feeling well. Yesterday am I was determined to get things done but I couldn’t stand up with out almost passing out and my head hurt so bad. I started vomiting and John said “I’m done with this nonsense, we’re going to the ER!”
warnocks
After CT scan and blood work the DR said I was being admitted but there were no beds. They were looking in surrounding cities. I couldn’t imagine what I was being admitted for and she said “your kidneys are shutting down. They’re not working.”Say what?!!! I was so dehydrated my kidneys had begun to fail. Granted I haven’t had a glass of water since the 70’s but I drink gallons of Diet Coke!
warnocks
They pumped 5 bags of saline in me before the doctor began to calm down and since the closest hospital bed was in Denver, 3 hours a way, she finally released me to come home. With the promise to follow up with DR. this week and drinking gallons of water. And, imagine this, I haven’t felt this good in years! No headache. No muscle aches. Not lightheaded. Whew! Who knew drinking water was so healing! After all, Diet Coke is mostly water, right?!
damiangray
@warnocks I am do happy they got to the bottom of it and you're feeling like yourself again!!!..I actually experienced that and also had the saline for 3 hrs.. I'm so glad they couldn't find a bed and it worked out..oh wow,that was a ride,eh?..we have to find a shorter thread to talk on ..this ones ridiculously long..
damiangray
btw,I downed 2 glasses of water before I replied..
Who me paranoid?
damiangray
@warnocks I saw a doctor do this..lay your hand flat on the table, lift the skin up on the knuckle of your ring or middle finger, either works. if the skin stays up, you need water! I always do..
warnocks
I have been drinking water like there’s no tomorrow! I honestly haven’t drank this much water in my entire life BUT I feel so much better. No headaches, no neck aches, no feeling faint, have energy again. I feel 20 years younger!! Who knew?! Water!😁

Love your style!!!😍😍😍

@enx21
Thank you so much!!!😊
warnocks
Hey Leslie! Thanks for all the shares! I appreciate it! How’s your forehead? I hope it was nothing and it’s healing. It’s still hotter than hell here. Can’t wait for the cooler weather to come.🥵
damiangray
@fabulousstylen Hi..
Sharing is a basic etiquette suggested on
Poshmark & I find that most people do share, however advertising your closet on my personal thread isnt the best way to go about it.
Should I see something on PM I think my followers will like,I'll share it but not everyone will like another poshers listings..It really is a matter of personal taste...and choice.
damiangray
@warnocks hey kiddo..write me when u can w update,k? thinking of you.🌹🌹🌹
warnocks
@damiangray Hey my friend!!! Just got good news yesterday, in that, they scheduled me for surgery a week from today! So I have to just endure being sick for one more week and then hopefully I will be 100% better. The surgery is somewhat complicated given it’s so close to my heart so my surgeon wants his partner with him for an extra pair of hands. Don’t know if that worries me or not but at this point I’m so sick of being sick I’ll go with just about anything!
warnocks
I’m sad about the timing because I’m missing going to NY with my daughter-in-law and daughter but we’ll make it happen another time! Thank you so much for your thoughts and concern. I’ll let you know. 🥰
damiangray
@warnocks Sounds like you'll be in good hands..that's the best news of all! there will be other trips to NY I'm sure!
thanks for writing back! talk soon,k?
krissyany
@damiangray Hi, my posh friend. I think sharing will bring us good luck. I sell the cute and pretty stuff. Hope you get a great success here.

Hi Leslie, could you consider selling the Dan Dodson cluster pendant without the beads? thanks.
warnocks
Hey my fashion friend!! Have you seen the ads/hype for Shocking! Exhibition in Paris? For Elsa Schiaparelli? It looks amazing!! I told my husband he has to take me. Even though I’d never get past the sidewalk. Can you imagine how amazing it will be?!!
damiangray
@warnocks Aah, I'd have loved to have met you there..at least for a day or two of shopping & sidewalk watching but alas it closed end of Jan 2023..began in June or July of last year I think. Imagine? they featured her friends work as well. Cocteau,Dali,ManRay! must have been...Shocking!
I would have loved to have attended Tiffanys reopening..renovated by one of our best clients,Peter Marino..he's done em' all Chanel,Dior..if it's a luxury store Peter's designed them ..
damiangray
@warnocks ..and he's decided to collect Arts lamps..bought only 2 so far, but the most pricey ones..Peters house out here is like a scene from Versailles..he's even bought his own museum in Southampton just to house some of his art and when the 2 of them get together they sound like 2 guys from Queens sitting around shooting the sh*t. one day look him up..# 1 Architect in the world..No small feat,eh?
damiangray
@warnocks I'd be right next to you not getting past the sidewalk, btw!
tomorrow I get the big news from the surgeon...
fingers crossed!
warnocks
@damiangray I knew I was looking at the date wrong!! I missed it! Just being in Paris while it was going on would’ve been amazing! I swear you and Art know the most interesting people, living in this little rural town of drug addicts I forget people are doing and creating spectacular things. Oh, I hope your surgeon appointment goes well. Prayers and good thoughts! 🥰
tutuwig
@damiangray Hi. Nice closet! Would love to share. Hope this help and you getting much more success. Welcome to stop by my closet. Thank you.
warnocks
@damiangray How did it go at the surgeon’s today? Good news?
damiangray
@warnocks it went great thanks! the doc gave mexthe go ahead for 100 % weight bearing then soon to be cane training..he's pleased with how it's going ..Thank goodness for Arts help....and fine food,lol! I was really losing weight for awhile there but now I'm looking healthy again. it was a long day..even took Dory for a once around in the park.
Sure wish we could have met in Paris for that Schiaparelli exhibit..the Met Gala was last night..another one we missed!
damiangray
@warnocks it was a tribute to Lagerfeld..my all time favorite is 1992,Christy Turlington in classic Chanel..very simple but for me hands down the best. Wonder if Inez de la Fressange was at there last night? She had such a fallout with Karl but they made up.

Hi! I’m Melissa! Please check out my closet too if you're in the mood to shop! 🙋 🫶

Hey there gorgeous! I wanted to stop by and say hi! If you get a chance come by and have a look at my closet. A lot of my items have barely been worn or have tags attached. Brands such as Commando, I.AM.GIA, Jean Paul Gaultier, Moschino, Spanx, Skims, Wilfred, Victoria’s Secret, and so much more!So come take a look, if there is something you like, but not the price, make an offer. Love giving discounts!
