I spent my life savings on this damn auction. Now I have thousands of dollars worth of women's clothes. I'm sorry and I'm not sorry. I'm torn on what I have done. Bidding/winning/buying these auction items was the closest thing I can call to an addiction that may negatively affect my life. I get a little sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I'd come to the end of an auction block and realize that I've spent thousands of dollars and have an awful feeling in my stomach with an attachment of anxiety. And I was actually holding back because I was hopeful that Ash's final suit would be auctioned off in the final week. Never happened. Cheryl's suit was another. I'm guessing they let her keep that for being gracious enough to come back. I think they let Bruce keep Ash's final suit or they put it into storage along with the ApocaDelta, which I know for a fact they are keeping in case they continue in some way.
It's pretty awesome though. I'm glad that's over. Now, I start back at zero. I traded useless money for meaningful clothing items. I'm mostly fine with it (believe me, I'd have to be fine with it to have spent so much money on it... I did think this through before spending, it's just that I spent way more than I intended because each item by itself is mostly affordable, but then I add up 30 items and I'm like, "Fuck me, what have I done?!")
I'm looking forward to cops searching my house someday for something trivial and then they find all these women's clothes with blood and wound marks all over them. They'll think I buried some bodies and kept the clothes as souvenirs.
My worry for these items I now possess is properly taking care of them. I wish I could keep them all in their plastic bags, but a lot of it is leather and I've read that leather needs to breathe. I want that smell to stay on the clothes (they were all washed or sprayed with something because all the clothes smell the same, this wonderful smell). I have such limited space though and my closet is now jam packed with AVED clothes and the clothes of my dead mother, which I just noticed looks a lot like clothes from the Evil Dead universe, like Mia's red dress, Ms. Previtt's suits, Ruby's suits, Cheryl's, and a leather coat she bought me (that I never wore) that looks just like Ash's final coat. I now admire my mother's clothes (which are hanging underneath all her vinyl records and a cassette tape collection). All that '80s stuff that very much fits the era of Evil Dead. Now that's all mixed in with the AVED wardrobe.
Just counted and I've bought/won 49 items total. All wardrobe.
