Buyer Beware: Anna Chandler/Elise, Czechmix, Taleybone, Annaelisedraw, ect..

The one of many names of which many are already familiar. Tumblr isn’t a good place for me to post all the screen caps, but they are all posted on instagram and facebook in warning groups. Here is a link to one of the groups it’s posted to (Bjd World Market) https://www.facebook.com/groups/280417182022846/?ref=br_rs

and (BJD Addicts Feedback/Community Alert) 

https://www.facebook.com/groups/974023212693715/permalink/1443803612382337/?notif_t=group_post_approved¬if_id=1506401287542825

It’s also fully on my instagram page. I’m posting here because I know how Anna is. She’s spreading her twisted version of the story around wherever she can, and she has confessed about me before on the blog TrueBJDConfessions. I do expect to see more from her. 

I’ll post the verbal content of the warning, as there are 42 screenshots and they really can’t be posted effectively here.  View beneath the “read more.”

And I’m always happy to send you the screencaps if you can’t see them elsewhere. Just be aware that there...are 42 of them lol. But I’m all too happy to supply them. 

!!!!Negative feedback for Anna Elise/Anna Chandler!!!!

*Note: This incident occurred on instagram. My username there is Bearcalledred. Anna Chandler/Elise has gone by numerous names, including Taleybone, Czechmix, Bunnyflavor, Ruddyrainbowdolls, annaelisedraw, ghostchildiv, bjdfairygiveaways, ninjaswordsparkle, and ninjakelpie.

I had really hoped I would never have to post one of these! But up until now, my transaction with @annaelisedraw was ordinary. She has been known by many things and was @ruddyrainbowdolls at the time of commission. I actually received numerous warnings about working with this individual, but I took the commission because I thought we were friends and that she wouldn't do anything shifty to me. I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and look past her bad history. I was commissioned to make a pair of eyes, and then paint a doll of hers. I finished the eyes in a month, I believe. I can't check the exact date because the ruddyrainbowdolls account has been deactivated. So the eyes are done, and I'm waiting to hear back about the doll that she's finishing. She wanted to finish the mods on it before sending it. To this day I have gotten no communication regarding the doll, or any thing besides accepting the way the eyes look. I wasn't really impatient about the doll, so I didn't pester. All was fine! No indication that anything was wrong. In the meantime, someone submits to TrueBJDConfessions, which Anna seems to miraculously not know about?  Criticising me for that time my cat knocked a head off of a box into my lap. The buyer of the head knew about this and had no issue. Didn't know who it was, so I went on. Via her messages to me here, after we get into a disagreement on a photo of mine, she lets it slip. It was she who submitted a confession about me on the confession blog on tumblr. Nice! So profesh. "pets playing with customers items?" So that's never happened. I wonder what she could be focusing on? Our disagreement was about people who had been rude to me about one of my dolls' face. I posted the photo later saying "Idk that she really cares who dislikes her face." Because I was tired of people commenting that she looked like a blow up doll or that she was high. Naturally, I'm annoyed. I didn't notice that she had posted a comment later also on my box opening photo of her expressing her dislike of the sculpt. The comment itself wasn't rude, I would have had no issue with it. But what became rude was her comment on the picture of her afterwards. She then proceeded to assume entirely that I was talking about her, and began an argument. I didn't even know who she was, I have never heard of this account of hers. I won't go into detail about the argument. It's still up on the photo of Keeley mentioned before, you can read it. (for Facebook, I've included  a screenshots) I come to find out that this person, who I thought was some random person, is Anna. I feel betrayed and infuriated. I was going to initiate the refund to her myself after discovering this, because I could forsee many problems that I didn't want to deal with before I got this doll of hers. The eyes were a relatively small commission, but dealing with something complex like a doll was now something I did NOT want to risk. She has especially bad history in trading and shipping dolls in poor condition. I can actually vouch for that one. I traded for 2 minifee heads from her years ago, and they arrived unprotected with grocery sacks being the only thing to pad them. I didn't complain, they weren't damaged. I was going to sleep on the decision to refund her and end the commission, but I was awoken by messages from her, shown, asking for eyes or refund. I chose refund. I don't need someone like this posting a spiteful hate-review because we had an argument. This should have been the end of it, but she proceeded to be very nasty. I included the frequent "third picture of Negi" for reference. She apparently takes very high offense to my use of jointed hands. So in conclusion, this transaction and experience with Anna went from nice, ok, ordinary, to flaming dumpster fire so quickly. She is a very volatile client and I've heard this from many commissionable artist friends. Since posting the original warning, numerous people have come forth with their own stories about Anna. I have permission to post them. The fact that she had been banned and has numerous problem transactions on DoA should have been enough, but it was my mistake. She claims to have very little bad feedback, but that truly is not the case. She had a long history of bad transactions, including one now from me. She has been spreading the lie that I'm warning people about her because I "lost her sale." I actually had the choice to send the eyes. I terminated the commission and refunded out of choice. Btw, it was $40. I'm not slandering someone for a loss of $40, nor would I slander a client to begin with for wanting to end a transaction on reasonable terms. I may not have even posted a buyer beware, if she hadn't proceeded to be so vile to me. The thing that crossed the line for me was making fun of my illness. Saying that I "whine about my physical illnesses" and she doesn't, so I'm wrong. And also, gasp! I take sick days. How evil of me. So no, this isn't a simple matter of a lost sale. She's a terrible, abusive client, and I want people to be aware before they accept a commission from her. I'll answer any questions if someone should have them. I have screenshots of everything, and Anna may possibly be deleting her comments to make it seem like I have been. She mentioned one of her comments being deleted, but I was unable to find what she was talking about, and I'd been taking screen shots as the event progressed.

Gypsiana Land

Welcome to Anna Chandler's, Gypsiana Land! It's a very happy place, full of endless colour, flowers, butterflies, beads, pom poms and quirky things! 

Come share the happy ride with me... let's head on inside! Be prepared! for a COLOUR BLAST!!

Inspired by the Bohemian feel of Gypsiana in Cottesloe, I adorned myself with colour, colour and more colour. Definitely a 'dare to wear and smile if they stare' combo.

Anna Chandler (above) has an inspiring zest for life! She began Anna Chandler Designs over 30 years ago and is well known for her bold, brightly coloured pottery. But Anna creates soooo much more than pottery. Her two Gypsiana emporiums stock her unique jewellery, quirky accessories and fabulous clothes. She also travels extensively and collects pieces from Mongolia, Turkey and Morrocco for her stores.

Banish the winter drearies with a Gypsiana outfit. Layer up a colourful top with a scarf or poncho (as Anna has above). Next pin some butterflies in your hair or clip them onto your scarf or bag. Happy days.

Brighten up a neutral top with a bespoke necklace, handmade by Anna Chandler.

Gypsiana has accessories for all tastes, ages and price ranges.

Trend Alert: Anything fringed!! The oriental fringed bags above are made by Anna. Love the imported pompom pouches and crocheted sandals too.

Crocheted, fringed poncho's or handmade 'rag bags' are perfect Boho wear for weekend market shopping or coffee outings. 

TIP: "Myra's Treasures" at the rear of the Cottesloe store, is truly a find. Darling Myra (above) knits stunning scarves and colourful tops and also sells pre-loved clothes.

Relax... Boho Chic Style! This Gypsiana, open weave silk/linen cardi and matching top is made in Italy. Paired with Anna's tribal statement necklace, oriental bag and handmade headpiece, it creates a casual yet chic combo. 

Gypsiana is located on Napolean St. in Cottesloe and on Newcastle St in Leederville.

If you visit Gypsiana on a Saturday afternoon, you might just get lucky and hear Anna and her gals hitting up a tune on the Ukulele!

If you're enjoying this blog, please share the love. Ta Ta aa xx

Anna Chandler on Hole’s Live Through This (1994) (Rdio, Spotify, iTunes)

In high school, my backpack was a shrine to Kurt Cobain, covered in patches and iron-on transfers of his face staring up at me during math class. I buzzed my long, thick hair, paired flannel with fatigues, spent my hours after school locked in my room with my electric guitar and baby Marshall amp, and religiously ran, lifted weights, and played every sport possible to prepare for military college. It was a time of attempting to find personal power, of living in a Bob Jones University-dominated neighborhood and trying to discover an identity somewhere between the Abercrombie-clad cheerleaders I was supposed to be and the boys in punk bands that I had more in common with.

From what I’d heard and what I’d been taught, feminism was the enemy, attempting to kill any of the “masculine” traits I enjoyed trying on. Meanwhile, being constantly mistaken for a boy and being told that I should be more “girly” in habit and appearance weighed down on me and I pushed harder and harder against it, unaware of a spectrum or of the power I could find within a movement. As a way of countering the pressure to resemble and behave more like the ideal teenaged girl, I became a staunch male chauvinist. In a world that makes it shameful to be a woman—particularly a woman engaging in male-dominated activities—I joined in instead of striking back, hating women and having to “be a woman.” I didn’t know that the movement I so detested existed to break gender roles the way I so desperately needed.  

Naturally, I hated Courtney Love. Despite being able to follow Angus Young solos note for note myself, I disliked female musicians and didn’t feel Courtney had a place in such an influential time in rock music. I believed she piggybacked off Kurt’s success and stole his sound. She was a bad widow, a bad mother with implants, a slut, an addict, a disgrace to 90’s grunge. Had I listened to her music? No, I didn’t need to. I bought the lie that Kurt wrote all her music and often agreed that she was responsible for his death, either by supposedly introducing him to heroin or killing him with her own hands. She was the reason the band I adored, whose music was the only thing that could make me lift my angst-laden shoulders off the mattress some mornings, didn’t exist anymore.

Toward the end of high school, I learned a little more about third-wave feminism and discovered that I could wear a barely-there skirt and an Army jacket and that anyone who said otherwise could go to hell. I read Jessica Valenti and Jill Filipolvic and slowly digested a feminism that was younger and more accessible than I had ever imagined. I found all the answers to the questions I had struggled with and found I was able to break the binary and discover true happiness and confidence.

Somewhere in the last few years while reading more about ties between feminism and music, I listened to Celebrity Skin. And on a trip home this summer, I fished a dollar copy of Live Through This out of a CD bargain bin in a record shop. It was exactly what I needed in that moment. I love the way music finds you when you most need it, and at the time, I needed raw power, vocals dripping with fury, thick four-chord progressions and fuck you’s spit and wailed and harmonized. I remember passing a rest stop somewhere near Clinton, S.C. when “Violet” hit and the encompassing comfort that took me in, the understanding as I reached for the volume dial and turned it up to max. In a time in which I felt overwhelmingly alone and weak, I was ushered into this gushing, driving thirty-eight minutes that would change my life. I was suddenly sobbing, clutching the wheel, turning off the cruise control and letting my foot lean into the gas pedal. I kept the album on repeat until I reached my destination, and it hasn’t left my CD player since July.

I’ve listened to it a little at least once a day in the car since. Hundreds of times. The desperation of “I Think That I Would Die,” the surly snarkiness of “Rockstar” (“Olympia”), the way Courtney married politics, feminism, media portrayal, advertising, presumptions, was unlike anything I had ever heard and resonated so deeply. And by looking at it without separating art from artist—the album was released four days after Kurt died, Frances Bean was in the custody of his mother—I found an example of how to create from a dark place and pour yourself into something truthful. I began to feel strong again, a kind of strength that I hadn’t felt since I learned that no one could dictate what I do with my body and how I conduct myself except for me. And with that, I felt a new kind of drive, an unstoppable need to create. The inner voice telling me that anything I tried to make would be a waste, not good enough, “done,” was told to shut the hell up, pick up the guitar and pen and get to work trying, to push until it happened.

The profound effect Live Through This has had on me is hard to vocalize, particularly to friends whose eyes understandably roll when they get in the car and it’s playing again. Writing alone for the first time in recent memory and cracking open the guitar case that had been stashed under my bed for three years was terrifying. But the simplicity of “Miss World,” “Jennifer’s Body” and “Gutless” empowered me to keep trying—these were songs that I could figure out immediately and wail along to over the grit of that little Marshall amp up in my cluttered apartment. I pushed myself to write more openly, to break out of my standard of cryptic, hiding lyrics and be blunt. I didn’t want to sing quietly, I wanted to wail, to howl and seethe, and suddenly I could. And I did.

General Oglethorpe & the Panhadlers "Sick Sick Lover" Whistle the Dirges, 2011. Directed by Devin Smith.

The good fine friends of General Oglethorpe & the Panhandlers premiered their first video the same night as their album release show in the beginning of 2011. Now, that video is viral. Well, soon to be. Whistle the Dirges is a great piece of neo-gypsy/folk rock and their single "Sick Sick Lover" takes you directly into your own imagination of the tale they have told.
