As those of you who've joined us on facebook or
twitter may have read, we had the pleasure of meeting our Madame La Barterplace
Mary Amelia Rose on Friday night . . . at 9pm no less. It was a long old day
at Brassique Towers, but, she was certainly worth the wait!
She spoke to us with her eclectic southern drawl oozing from
under her Top Hat, and we have to say, was rather mesmerising in her ways.
Funnily, Miss Brassique was never in the room at the same time as her,
but it transpired this is a sign of respect between them both that goes back a long way (no we don't
understand it either).
You lot made a très good impression, as we knew you would, and our Coster
Queen was so impressed she made a little announcement...we've lovingly
transcribed it for her below:
"G’evening
Cock-Robins,
Pleasure
to be speaking to y’all. Mary Amelia Rose here, the eyes and ears of this
fine Barterplace y’all have joined. I’m looking forward to being your
leader & keeping everything in check. Each & every one of y’all
looks pretty darn special to my eyes. I’m sure there aint no riff raff or one
bad apple amongst y’all.
Anyways,
I don’t take no rubbish from no one, so we’ll all be kept safe & sound in
our little world. As way of thanks for your kind words & the warm
welcome I’ve received I’ve requested that Costers who’ve joined already, and y’all
that join before we open our gates, get your Costership for 2 years instead of
one – a year free gratis if you like. Just my little bit of sway to show
my appreciation.
I’m
not one for these computers y’all spend your time on. You'll have to excuse my ignorance
there and I wont be parking down to chinwag with y'all on the regular. I’m more of a words woman meself you see . . . like doing a bit of face
to face or Quill to Paper. I'll be getting my message out through Brassy and the team. But know this . . . I'm here with my feet on the floor and my eyes on the doings and the goings on.
Look forward to seeing what y'all get up to. Keep with it Costers, you’re shaping into a perfectly formed collective.

Until we meet again;
God Speed

So there you's go, straight from the lovely
Victorianesque throwback herself's mouth. We can say that 'cause she wont get to read it. Those of you who come nestle
into Brassique's inner Sanctum, in preparation for our Summer Launch, will get Two
Years Membership for the price of one!
We think that's a pretty spiffing deal!? Thanks to all you who've made it possible and wowed our Madame!
Costers Well Wishes,
Team Brassique x
