To Bidet, Or Not To Bidet?

Jonah Schuhart | March 19, 2020

Topics: bidet, bidet richmond va, bidets richmond va, comedy, community, coronavirus, covid 19, covid19, diy bidet, Humor, make a bidet, portable bidet, richmond va, things to do richmond va, toilet paper, toilet paper richmond va, WTF

If you’re counting pennies or just can’t find any toilet paper in the stores, it’s the bidet’s day today. The Internet has some DIY tutorials to upgrade your bathroom, so let’s have a laugh and get through this pandemic together. 

OK so, worst case scenario. That mighty fiend coronavirus has paid this country a visit, and while this pandemic may not be the dramatic, deadly plague or the flesh-eating disease we all conjured in our imaginations, it’s still a pretty serious issue. Accordingly, things have been getting pretty tense as COVID-19 spreads. Folks have been hitting the stores hard, taking everything they can get to quarantine themselves until it blows over (whenever that happens). So, maybe it’s a good idea to stock up… just in case. Either that, or you just really need to go grocery shopping.

Regardless, you head to the store for the basics: food, shampoo, toilet paper. But wait! As you turn into the TP aisle, you are shocked to find the shelves barren and woefully lacking in depictions of the Charmin Bears. You desire to be “clean,” but the cleanest thing in the world right now are the store shelves, and the behinds of those lucky enough to beat the toilet paper rush.

You probably already know by now, but this is no isolated incident. All over the country, TP has been flying off the shelves, as if every roll in the U.S. downed a Red Bull and grew wings. According to Business Insider, Walmart, Amazon, and Target all almost ran out of that cottony goodness last week. So, in this new post-corona world, where wealth is measured in toilet paper and Purell, what can a broke person do to keep their hygiene game on point? 

The answer: the bidet — that swanky French invention that does to your butt what power washers do to driveways. For the uninformed, it’s kind of like a mini-toilet that one sits on after using the main toilet. Once sat upon, the bidet promptly sprays the user clean with a jet of water. It’s fairly popular in countries like Japan, but here in the U.S., people don’t seem very fond of the idea. If the Buzzfeed video above is any indication, initial exposure to the bidet is met with shock and discomfort, followed by mixed responses from users.

But it’s not all cold water jets and uncomfortable sensations. Bidets actually have some luxurious qualities. The nicer models come with things like seat-warmers, warm water streams and blow-dryers. Some even have night lights for the valiant people who do their night-time business standing up. Bidets are also extremely hygienic, arguably better for the environment, and completely eliminate the risk of TP particulates being left behind. So, if you want to survive Coronavirus with not just a clean rear, but the cleanest rear in the solar system, then perhaps a bidet is right for you. 

Except that there’s one more problem. These things can be fucking expensive. Home Depot sells low-end bidets at around $200. High-end models can cost you $2,500. That’s a hard bargain just for a machine that does what your outdoor garden hose can do for free. 

Effective? Yes. Sanitary? Questionable. Watch here.

Luckily, for those who are broke and unwilling to bare themselves in front of the neighbors as part of the wiping process, there are alternatives. There are handheld nozzles and bidet-seat attachments on Amazon for as low as $20. These are simple contraptions which lack many of those luxurious features I mentioned earlier (unless you want to dish out more money). Still, they get the job done. 

But let’s say you’re really broke. Like, “I look at pictures of other food while I try to make my Top Ramen feel like more of a meal” broke. Then, once again, there are other options. Forbidden options. Well, perhaps not forbidden… but certainly morally, logically and hygienically questionable alternatives. These are the DIY options. 

(WARNING: Even if these work, I’m not insisting you try them. And if they don’t work, please don’t shoot the messenger.)

You can find them all over the Internet. Images of garden hoses, detachable shower heads, and squeezable water bottles, all modified to work as in-home bidets. The YouTube video above shows us a few ideas, and even teaches you how to make them. Obviously, he explores various versions of the squeeze-bottle design (which has the benefit of being portable). He uses everything from Dasani bottles to proper plastic canteens. However, I believe his most compelling design is in his modification of the dental oral irrigator, aka Waterpik. With some plastic tubing and some tape, this YouTuber fashions a fairly impressive product that looks as if it could spray with the best of them.

But while it looks effective enough, it is somewhat unsightly — and also begs the disturbing question, “Does he still use that Waterpik to clean his teeth?” We can only hope and pray that he does not. The idea certainly betrays the desire for hygiene, which I think is truly the essence of the bidet’s beauty.

This one looks a little too complicated.

Hopefully none of us are trapped in a situation which might necessitate the construction of one of these devices. I certainly feel like people should strive to have their rear-ends cleaned by something more noble than a shampoo bottle — it’s the bathroom equivalent of a college student converting an empty milk jug into a bong. But if every one of us was to be corona-quarantined for months, and our national toilet paper reserves become dangerously depleted, a person can hardly be judged for testing their natural ingenuity by making their recyclables into a valuable tool. It’s a small price to pay for the peace of mind that comes from having a clean bum.

Best Of VA Missed Connections February 12 – February 18

RVA Staff | February 18, 2020

Topics: Best of craigslist, best of missed connections, Charlottesville, community, craigslist richmond va, Fredericksburg, missed connections, Norfolk, richmond, Richmond missed connections, richmond va, roanoke, RVA, things to do in richmond va, Virginia Beach, WTF

It’s wintertime here in RVA, and we’ve all gotta keep warm, whether we’re doing so by wearing vegan leather, eating Hot Pockets, or paging through the Missed Connections looking for a friendly person to cuddle up to. If you’re a sexy barber, a tatted-up security guard, or a frequently-flying Spongebob fan, someone’s looking to cuddle with you this week; read on for details!

We’ve also got even more of the steady influx of personal-ads-under-another-name that have been cluttering up Missed Connections ever since Craigslist panicked about SESTA/FOSTA and shut down their personal ads. Thankfully, the few we’ve spotlighted are entertaining, including a lady who calls herself “girlfriend material” based on some rather explicit information about her preferences for intimate activities, as well as someone who misses the endless teenage makeout sessions we all engaged in back when we were too young and scared to skip the foreplay and charge straight to the finish line.

Unfortunately, we also have a great example of the literate, intelligent-seeming Missed Connection that gets really creepy about halfway through. You guys have got to learn to stop blowing your cool by the third sentence.

Keep it chill, Virginia.

Leather in Mongrel (Carytown)

You were on a mission, and your vegan leather pants suggested you weren’t to be derailed.

The best streak of gray adored your cropped black hair and I was taken by your look.

We made eyes a few times as I casually found my way in yours.

Perhaps you’ll see this, but you didn’t strike me as someone who peruses missed connections.

Did you mind I was getting in your way? 

Looking for a HotPocket (RVA)

Miss my heat and eat hotpocket. Is SHE out there?

Thoughts

Just wondering. There are so many of us out there looking for a significant other. Someone to do things with. In this age and time of society how is it that some have given up and although prefer to be single when given the chance to find someone they throw it out the window. We don’t know how to communicate anymore. We exchange a few conversations and when we get bored we move on to the next. There is such a high volume of people who prefer that one night stand no commitment that make it harder for those of us truly trying to find that special someone. 

Looking for the tattooed female security guard at libbie Target (Henrico)

I would love to talk to the tattooed female security guard who works at Target near libbie and broad. I think you are incredibly beautiful. I asked you where the automotive things are lat week when i was in the store. I hope to hear from you. 

Hey Ian

Soup is good food, but keep your spoon in your own bowl. 

Saw you out the window earlier

I saw you out the window earlier. You may have seen me too. I’m not really attracted to you but I’ll watch you jerk off or something if you’re into it. 

Forest Hill 7-11 this morning (Richmond)

So I’m pretty sure that you’ll never see this but I’ll give it a shot… I held the door for you as I went to my work truck. While I was helping a coworker I noticed you sitting in your car looking over.. I felt it’d be weird if I walked over and said something but then again so is posting a missed connection. If you see this and were interested let me know!

Girlfriend Material

I won’t lie to you, I’m complicated, a bitch at times, sarcastic, cute, emotional, selfish, smart af, skilled at many things, love giving head, whiny, slightly clingy if I’m REALLY attached to you, and just freshly had my heart broken 

Walmart shiela ln (Southside)

I know this place has become shady but i didn’t know where else to post. You are a gorgeous female and we ran into each other at least 6 times. Tell me what item we talked about so i know its you. Would love to take you out. 

Airport Newark to Norfolk. Spongebob clothes (Norfolk)

We were in the same flight from Newark to Norfolk. You had a spongebob shirt and pants on. I should have said hi but didn’t. 

Missing my little gym partner (midlothian)

You had me run you through how to deadlift correctly on evening and never saw you again. Me late thirties tattooed, bearded and tall. You appeared to be around 30 and little. Would love to get together again, never did get properly introduced. Name the gym so I know it’s you. 

Just making out (West End)

Does anyone just make out anymore like we did in high school? I miss kissing for hours and holding each other. M4F 

Dancing girl in Keagan’s Feb 14th

Hi, watched you dance…we made eye contact several times but I was too shy to approach you. Would love to meet/talk with you. Tell me where you stood and danced all night and what you were wearing/hair color.

,………Shy Beard Guy 

Goodwill West Broad

Does anyone know the dark blond haired guy that works at Goodwill on West Broad? I think he may be a manager there, his name starts with “D”. I haven’t seen him in a while, not sure if he’s still there. Just wondering what’s happened to him? 

Tired of Games (Norfolk)

Tired of all the miss connections!! If you serious send a message. M for M/f… 

Saw you on the downtown mall (Charlottesville)

Saw you on the downtown mall, and you were beautiful. The truth is I see a lot of beautiful women on the mall. I always try and give a quick nod and smile, but sometimes that’s the least of what I want to do. Sometimes I just want to walk right up to you and start whispering in your ear about what I’m going to do to you. I want to tell you about how nothing else matters when I’m focused on you. Your age, your past, your future OUR future?!? None of that matters when my focus is on the here and now where all that matters is giving you the love you deserve, cherishing every one of your curves. And let nobody ever call you fat because I look at you and I see beauty. Good lawd that booty. But I’m getting off track you got me distracted.

The point is I saw you on the mall. Maybe you saw me. Young guy – 26, white, hair longer than most men around here – flowing but sometimes put up. Sometimes rocking my glasses other times going without. 5’10 Hazel eyes. Average build. I’m there almost every day. Maybe you saw me. Walking your dog or swinging by the post office.

The truth is I’m not sure if I’ve seen you the women who’s reading this message, but don’t be shy please. Just send me an email. Maybe we’ll trade some pictures and eventually meet up for a drink. But for now I’m here on missed connections because I’m missing connection and craving your touch.

Handsome barber (Stafford)

Slammin Cuts in stafford white barber with miltary haircut. I got out of my car to go to the UPS and I did a double take. You will probably never see this but you were really hot. 

Missed Connection at Red Mart (Richmond)

To the cute guy in the KC Chiefs hat who spoke to the shy girl in the blue dress at the Red Mart on Broad Rock Blvd this morning. Yes, I’m interested. Reach me here. 

TS Dicks Sporting Goods/ miss connections (Hampton)

I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD ANY GOLF CLUBS OR GOLF BALLS BECAUSE I LOVE PLAYING GOLF 

Taco Bell (Chester)

I had came through the drive thru last night and you were serving me.

We made eye contact numerous times and I have to say that you’re a very beautiful woman and I would love to know more about you. 

Surrounded by birds (Barracks road)

Looking for someone who knows the man who was surrounded by wild birds outside Panera about 8 years ago. 

Beautiful Latina in Burlington tonight (Broad St, Richmond)

You caught my eyes and just stared at me….i froze like a deer in the headlights…tall blue eyed male here who can’t stop thinking about you…omg. Reach out and let’s meet.

Best of VA Missed Connections December 24 – December 31

RVA Staff | December 31, 2019

Topics: Best of craigslist, craigslist, craigslist richmond va, missed connections, richmond va, RVA, RVA missed connections, things to do in richmond va, WTF

Since we last brought you our weekly Missed Connections roundup, we’ve moved from Merry Christmas to Happy New Year, and from freezing temps to a surprising post-solstice return of springlike conditions. That’s led quite a few people to break out the warm weather clothing, which can include sandals… the mere thought of with draws weirdos inexorably toward Craigslist.

But it’s not just foot fetishists out here in MC-land, we’ve also got quite a bit of Christmas spirit lingering throughout the final week of 2019. If you bought a stranger a pizza over the holidays, kudos to you; what’s more, someone in the Missed Connections just might be looking for you. Plus, we’ve got awkwardly charming holiday geekiness, friendly Honda repairmen, and gorgeous Taco Bell frequenters (so you know they’ve got good taste).

I sure hope you guys have gotten all the foot talk out of your system this week, though. If it starts being like this every week, I’m gonna be a bit skeeved out.

Happy New Year, Virginia!

Toes in December (Short Pump)

What a nice surprise for these warm days in December. Makes me want to see some sexy female toes out and about. Mature, generous male wants to pamper and play with your feet.

From painting your nails to sucking your toes, I love it all.

Where is my package

You delivered once, but I guess the holiday rush kept you away…..I hope to unwrap that chocolate again.

Lonely (Midlothian)

Lonely during the holidays would love to find a friend. 

Pizza rocks (place 4 g)

I am thankful on Christmas that you got me pizza when I was without food. When I think all is lost, someone shows up and helps me. I think your name was Jaimes and you had a place near where I was. I have to get my plan together soon, to live for another day. So I can pay it forward to the next person. Would like to be able to gmail you if you can. Should be able to do some work to your car or something for your kindness. Thank you again and have a great Christmas. 

Missing my foot goddess (Rva)

Missing my beautiful foot goddess, hopefully I can reunite or meet someone new. 

When a fine woman with shy smile comes along (540397 Culpeper Road)

You bumped into me accidentally and were embarrassed I guess. I was about speechless because of your smile and fab hair. It was hard to talk because you surprised me. You really alone Christmas? I am dumb because I am too and your bumping into me I didn’t say same here. Never posted or asked, but would you like to just walk somewhere pretty and talk? Promise I am kind and will make you smile again. Who wants to be alone anyhow? I hope you see this, and since I had guts to post, maybe you will respond. You seemed playful so – dare! New years coming and 5191 is the band playing at the winery. You have snuck and got my number. I hear they have new ducklings this year!!!!!

7-11 Cashier (Corner of Main and Harrison Street)

I was in your 7-11 at almost midnight on the 21st. You were talking to the other cashier and it looked like you were preparing to go home. Our eyes met a few time.

This connection is missed (Chesapeake)

To have dinner with someone who is genuinely interested and chat about the things that you’re passionate about. Having someone you can trust and setting your insecurities aside , and just being yourself. Not being afraid to fail or being scared of rejection… because you know the other person would never judge you. Not having to chase someone … because they aren’t constantly testing you. It would be so nice to have that ONE great friend who I could confide in , someone that would understand me… and me understand you. In reality —I’m searching for a best friend. Someone who is loyal , someone who appreciates my flaws , someone who sees my imperfections as… perfection. I’m attractive and fit , funny yet practical. Chemistry comes naturally ,could you be the one ?

I Drove You In My Car (Henrico West Broad Street Area)

Nelson County Automobile Accident on New Year’s Eve (2012?) ((River Rd) Rt. 6 – between 151 and 29)

Several years ago on New Year’s Eve (2012?), around 1AM, there was a single-vehicle automobile accident in Nelson County on River Rd (Rt. 6 between 151 and 29). A small SUV ran off the road and hit a tree, injuring the driver. There were no other occupants. I was the first person to stop, and stayed until rescue workers took over. If anyone recognizes this event, I’m curious about the driver and her recovery. 

We met on a rainy night in short pump (Short pump)

We met on a rainy night in a parking lot of a sporting goods store in short pump. My email screwed up and I can’t get back into my account ….I hope you haven’t moved on. We made out in a parking lot and moved the car somewhere else and I still regret not putting it in….I hope you see this,this is how we found each other.

PetSmart (Chester)

I’m looking for the female that was in PetSmart today. White attractive female. In the store between 10-2. If its you let me know. I was attracted to you. I’ll let you know who I was when you respond.

Food Lion (Outside powhatan)

You were grabbing a few items, in express lane. You dropped an item I picked it up and put it on the counter. We made small talk. You were jokingly flirty bud I was being serious. You had on your work gear. If you see this say hi.

Blond at short pump kroger (Short pump va)

We made eye contact in the water isle a few times and after that. You had on black leggings and had an amazing figure, earring in your nose. Very attractive lady.! I was the male you made eye contact with and smiled at. Describe me so I know it was you. Would love to know more about you and your figure.

UVA Primary Care Thursday 12/19 (Charlottesville)

We passed in the lobby, you were watching me watching you; was that a glint in your eyes or just a reflection of the spark in mine? We both smiled, and you certainly brightened my morning. I’m the grey-beard with the walking stick. Would like to actually meet you if you’re interested. If not, then I can understand and respect that, and thank you for the moment. 

Best Of VA Missed Connections November 13 – November 19

RVA Staff | November 19, 2019

Topics: afton, Ashland, Best of craigslist, Charlottesville, craigslist, Fredericksburg, Goochland, hanover, henrico, missed connections, Norfolk, richmond, Virginia Beach, WTF

Welcome to another week of Missed Connections, in which we learn that the heart wants what it wants, even when that thing might not be what’s best for you. We also learn that the recent colder temperatures might just be afflicting our MC posters’ fingers, as ads are more terse than ever this week. We’re guessing lots of you are just hurrying to finish typing your posts so you can put your gloves back on. Suggestion: wait til you get where you’re going to let the world know about your missed connection. If you forget it by the time you get there, was it really worth posting about?

There’s also a lot of food talk in this week’s Missed Connections… I guess the temps are also fueling our nesting instincts, meaning we all want to cuddle up with a warm plate of delicious eats. How long before these posts become dominated by talk of “Netflix and chill” in front of the fireplace? At this rate, I give it three weeks.

And finally, of course, we’ve got some questions from a straight guy who, from the sound of it, might not be so straight after all. If any of our readers still feel like they need permission from the world to explore options beyond strictly hetero couplings, well, I’m officially giving it to you.

Let your rainbow flag fly, Virginia.

George Strait (Virginia Beach)

This is not really a missed a connection since we never did talk, but more of a missed opportunity. You sang “Give it Away” at karaoke last night (Saturday), and you were there with a friend.

Chub, where have you been? (Sandy Hook)

I miss the days we used to hang out which was long ago 

My 46 birthday came and went and I couldn’t help thinking of you

It’s been too long, let’s reconnect

I’m headed out of town for the weekend but would love to start emailing again and see about finding time to get together

We work together! (Va beach)

So we work together, although we really dont say much other than saying hi and maybe complaining a little about the day, but I always catch you looking at me and vice versa so I just wondered if there was something there.

It could be this is all just a misreading but the way your face lights up every time I say hi to you.. it makes me wonder because you are gorrrrgeous.

Anyway if this reaches the intended person, tell me your name and where we work (and maybe a picture) and I’ll hit you back up!

Best of VA Missed Connections May 8 – May 14

Here we go with another spring edition of Missed Connections, in which we can plainly see that when the winter clothes went back into the closet, the tattoos went out on display once again. Based on this week’s crop it seems like almost everyone in Richmond has tattoos… but then again, if you’ve lived here for more than a week, you already knew that.

We’ve got a lot more for you besides tattoos this week, though. Wawa continues to be the champion meet-up spot — seriously, not a week goes by without a Wawa Missed Connection. But this month, we’ve also got a bunch of Walmart shoppers up in here; guess people are pinching their pennies so they can afford summer vacations.

Honorable mention must go to the person out there who’s trying to hit on a first responder who arrived on the scene when they wrecked their car. We support it! Just don’t think you’re gonna slide references to strippers past us by referring to the street their workplace is located on. We’ve got google over here, y’all. We see you.

Finally, a shout out to the Barbers Of Cville ultimate frisbee team — the RVA Mag staff wants you all to know that we too can appreciate some opera puns.

Keep ’em coming, Virginia.

Babes (Babes)

You were wearing a Bird of Paradise shirt (old navy little boy section you said) and I showed you my tattoo that matched. Long shot but you were adorable and I’d like to get to know you.

The connections I miss (Chesterfield)

I miss the days when I could skim through CL and find ladies looking to make new friends.

Pretty lady with chest tattoo (Walmart on Hull near 288)

I was walking into the garden section of Walmart yesterday and you were looking at plants (I think). You were very pretty and had a tattoo showing from your shirt on your chest. I just wanted to tell you that you are a hottie and you made me smile when you said hi.

The gorgeous blonde in the yellow Pathfinder (Richmond 95 South)

I was the guy doing wheelies for you and your friends a few weeks ago. I like your smile and reaction. Come riding with me sometime and we’ll grab dinner.

Lidl Market on Sunday (23228)

You were at the Staples Mill Lidl Market on Sunday, about 11am. We were both shopping the same aisle, but I didnt notice you until you walked away. You’re a good-looking guy with dark hair and tats. I hope to see you there again.

Christine dfw-ric yesterday (Richmond Airport)

You made me feel special yesterday. The few minutes with you made my day, and I was sad when it came to part ways—thank you lovely aviation underwriting lady!

Coxcomb red…

I still love you…even if your eyes are viper black…😏

Bdubs mechicsville (Mechanicsville)

Meredith, you were my server a buffalo wild wings tonight. I’m not going to hit on a woman at work but wanted you to know you’re gorgeous. You’ll probably never see this but I had to put it out into the universe.

Walgreens Plank Rd (Fredericksburg)

You probably won’t see this, but we had a brief conversation in the card isle when you needed help picking out a mother’s day card. You were a shorter girl, but I thought you were kinda cute and hoped to at least get your name!

You work on labrooke concorse (Richmond, VA)

You’re beautiful and I was so drawn to you. You probably get this a lot but I really felt something. If it’s you tell me what I was wearing.

We met somewhere around Fburg (Fredericksburg)

You were a beautiful woman over 35 with a stunning smile and we had a wonderful conversation about giving up dating men and only dating women. I’m the buxom woman with long, red hair. I’d love to take this lovely woman out….find me?

Handsome older wm cashier at Walmart on shiela ln (Richmond Virginia)

Hey i was in Walmart on shiela lane lastnight i had to return something and you were my cashier. You were a older gentleman maybe upper 40s 😊 bald wm. With a beard. As was i. But im 24…I thought you were kind of sweet and cute. I was wondering if youd like to meet up or something lol. I wanted to like say something but there was someone in line behind me. If you remember me tell me what i was returning or if you remember the tattoo I have .

You responded to my accident (Hazel run bridge)

You were the officer that responded to my accident. Not sure you will see this. I hope you do. You are a very handsome man. Would like to chat.

Staples Mill WAWA

You bought my Gatorade…. should’ve asked for your number

Beach with friends

Met you and your friends this morning while I was walking my dog I regret not talking to you more. Let me if you want to talk more. What was my dogs name?

Wicked J (Chester/Hopewell)

You are a ginger and was wearing a red shirt today. Your license plate says Wicked J. You are absolutely beautiful. Would like to get to know more about you

You brought music back into my life (newport news)

When I was down, you were there. I didn’t think I would feel comfortable enough to tell anyone about my life and demons. You sent me music to share yourself, you are my angel. Thank you for everything, I hope to see you again, “If it’s meant to be it will be”

Wegmans

We chatted about Beyond meat. You were wearing a Barbers of Cville jersey. You made a comment about the opera puns your team makes and I’d like to hear more.

I was too nervous to ask for your number in the middle of Wegmans but if you see this and you’re interested, message me.

Girl at iration (Norva)

You started to talk to me about my shirt. We hit it off instantly because we both were into jam bands. We talked about your upcoming shows. Hopefully I will see you at bristow. But honestly it would be nice to see you again before that day. Wondering if your single? Reply with what was on my shirt.

Best Of VA Missed Connections March 27 – April 2

RVA Staff | April 2, 2019

Topics: missed connections, Norfolk, richmond, virginia, WTF

Welcome to this week’s Missed Connections, where it seems that the season for hollering at redheads continues. Spring is also here (even if it’s pretty cold this morning…), and you can tell by the people out riding bikes, walking dogs, and checking out fine hotties.

In other news, people are offering keys to their chastity belts, which if nothing else sounds like a pretty kinky way to spend an intimate evening. This week also introduces what sure seems to be a Missed Connections alternate-reality game. Hey, if nothing else, it’s healthier than getting obsessed with the QAnon conspiracy.

But remember, y’all, just because the cashier at Home Depot compliments your wood, that doesn’t mean she wants to get you in the sack. She might just appreciate a fine grade of lumber.

Get building, Virginia.

3 guys holding hands (Barns noble Lynnhaven)

Wow thanks I was not born in an era place that we could do that it would have meant danger to me. Enjoy your freedom.

Help me Out (VCU)

Have you used the missed connections page to find someone you saw in public, for hook-ups, etc? Interested in telling your stories? I’m looking to take portraits to record peoples stories of the missed connections page, for a documentary photography project I’m currently working on. Identity will not be revealed, but I will want to take a few photographs of you, so that part is necessary. Email me for more info and with any questions you may have. Looking forward to it.

Elizabeth! (Cfield)

You are GORGEOUS! I LOVE tights and skirt season, and am seriously looking forward to skirt and heel season at work….i would SOOOO give you the key to my chastity!

Missed Connections Success Rate? (Richmond, VA)

I am just wondering if there has ever been success on here. I mean, what are the actual odds that you made some sort of connection with some stranger in the world, they felt it too so while at the same time you decide to post about it here, the other person is also thinking I hope they post on CL missed connections, let me scour it to see if they did?

Do you think that actually happens?

Asking for a friend

Walking your dog in Westover Hills (KW Road)

You were walking your dog last Thursday around noon-I was sitting on the steps of a house I was working on, talking on the phone. You smiled and said “Hi”- You made my day, in a very big way- Thank You. That is all
