pot, kettle

that wee island "hobbyist" who i had the utmost pleasure

of winding-up the other day - who copycated someone else's designs, and then denying any wrongdoing and summat.

well, just two day's after the last blah, i found her listed on the same wee islet online shopping directory as i was. which no doubt left me both annoyed and intrigued [in equal measures] - as there were a handful of IP addy's regularly visiting my handicraftin site.

no, i'm not jumpin to conclusions as i had once spotted her using the "photography for dummies" line which came just a day or three after announcin my grand entrance - on which i had a jokey "beading for dummies" thingy on the sidebar.

oh and the purpose of this blah? just a couple of day's [see the pattern ere?] ago, she whinged rather loudly about someone copycating her wholesale. not just exact replica's of her one-of-a-kind pieces, but:
1. cutting-&-pasting her product descriptions
2. naming the replica's exactly as hers right down to the last letter

immediately the followin day after the whingein cow herself had done so - which i saw with me own eyes. copycating taken to new unprecedented heights, this.

but then again, it's in their genes after all. ouch. but what is surely more perplexin:
1. the wronged whingein cow posted her blah under saturday's when it didn't exist whatsoever when i dropped by early tuesday [yeah, i'd too much time on me paws apparently]
2. she went on about how she'd never call herself "designer" - clearly a dig at that copycater whom she implied had some lofty ideas about herself

and i thought anyone who designs somethin is technically a designer? non? and to show how hurtful she actually was, she didn't post any new products on the tuesday until very late with a "sold" declaration.

honestly, i didn't quite believe her that it was her "loyal" customer's who snitched on that copycater. when i myself chanced upon the latter's blog last thursday after receiving an email from the online directory's webmaster - on the latest feature which allowed us to keep track on the number of visitor's.

like as if she had never snooped around whatsoever. ms pot, you've just met yer match in ms kettle, eh?

no, read that as what goes around, comes around.
