These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

I posted about it last night in Goodbye and Good Riddance.

I just caught up over there. Glad it arrived intact. Mwah!

I'm not sure how to say mule in French, nor how they take to groping.

Stubbornly, I'd presume.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Curse you, wee Matt! I was gonna say that.

This may account for the fact that the only way to get a mule is to mate a horse with a donkey.

If you want to get technical, a jack with a mare, so if you're arranging species by who's the top, you're crossing a donkey with a horse. (A stallion/jennet is technically a hinny.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Is there a practical difference between a mule and a hinny?

Slight, as hinnies tend to be smaller on account of the donkey momma thing. They're far less common than mules proper for various reasons, that included. (Stallions covering jennets tend to be less successful in terms of conception than jacks on mares, so that's probably the big one.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Kristin, if you can wait until you actually get to New Orleans, I'm pretty sure any number of Buffistas would be willing to go on an expedition to Trashy Diva for some local corset shopping.

Trashy Diva happens to be the place where I got the black-and-white polkadot haltertop Victorian Sweetheart corset I wore to the DC F2F. Gorgeous, sturdy, the most comfortable corset I've ever worn, and about $200 cheaper than Dark Garden. Whom I hate to diss, because I know so many people who've modeled for them and I have a nodding acquaintance with at least half the staff, but they're seriously overpriced. Definitely quality stuff, but still overpriced, and not as comfortable as the Trashy Diva corset.

Wasn't meara looking for a pinstripe corset? Trashy Diva looks like it has a couple. If anyone's got her e-mail, they could let her know.

I think meara might have had an urgent short-term need for the pinstripe corset, solved by borrowing... but still, now that she's found herself needing one once, it'll probably come up again, so she may get one of her very own in case of emergency. Corsetry is like that -- you don't need it at all until suddenly you do need it, and then you keep finding excuse after excuse for needing it again and again and again, and more and more.
