A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Please let me know how comfy they are. My addiction to heels and my job teaching are not compatible, and I'm shopping for sensible shoes that are not flats.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Very nice boots, ita.

I never did order those shoes.

If I only had a brain...

Exactly how old is old school, anyway?

Dude, at LEAST early 80's.

Hopefully.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's what I'm thinking. 90s is too soon! Too soon!

The status is NOT quo.

My students call grunge "way old school". Keep in mind, high school kids were born around 1990 at this point.

ETA: This is not to say that it doesn't make me weep.

Erin, as soon as I've worn the boots out of my house, I'll report back. They seem comfy on in the short term.

Don't they have some lovely shoes? We were plotzing over these a few nights ago, but they're not orderable over the web.

As heels go, they make the most comfortable I've tried -- most heels feel uncomfortable when I just try them on. Not these.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Up on LJ since the last obsessive (who me?) F5:

Update #1, 7:35 pm PST: we're up on 'dirty' power for now (it works, but it's unreliable), and we're working to assess the state of the databases. The worst thing we could do right now is rush the site up in an unreliable state. We're checking all the hardware and data, making sure everything's consistent. Where it's not, we'll be restoring from recent backups and replaying all the changes since that time, to get to the current point in time, but in good shape. We'll be providing more technical details later, for those curious, on the power failure (when we learn more), the database details, and the recovery process. For now, please be patient. We'll be working all weekend on this if we have to.
