Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?  

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!

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.

I don't have any yet, but I think I need it.

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

I think meara might have had an urgent short-term need for the pinstripe corset,

Corset emergencies, the untold tragedy.

See, well, maybe I'll just need another corset in NOLA.

IJS.

So many corsets, so little time.

So I took a break from the serious F2F stuff the past few days, but tomorrow I'm sending in the contract and credit number.

Any final questions? Last call...

Heh. Oooh, pinstripes! Actually the urgent need was just for any corset, the pinstripes was "this is what I want to buy"...thanks! Sadly, the pinstripe one is $395!!! Eeek!
