Happy birthday, Cindy!
Oh, nice corset, Jilli.
And blergh. Can my month of "do what you have to do but not what you want to do" end yet? Work's stuffing multiple things into March, my social life is a series of "can't make it, real life intrudes" moments, and even the work stuff's giving me heat due to various computer malfunctions.
Thanks everyone.
Happy Birthday, Cindy! I can't believe I forgot that this morning!!!
Oh, don't worry about that. I figured I scared everyone from mentioning it, with my morose post in my lj, the other day.
Happy Birthday Cindy! I throw celebratory sweet foods in your general direction.
Or sparkly boys and painted wings.
How about some androgynous glam rock stars for Jilli and Juliana?
Here's another
Susan, I don't know anything about reproduction Regency wear, but this looks like a good site: [link]
Ooooooh, pretty. Jilli would look pretty in the pretty corset, therefore Jilli should have the pretty corset.
I like the way you think.
Maybe once I recover financially from the move, I can order one from the corset maker in SF (Dark Garden?)
Lee, Dark Garden (while fabulous) is ... expensive. And I say this as someone with a corset collection. $460 for a corset that costs $245 by Meschantes. Now, is DG's workmanship worth it? I have a corset from them that I bought as part of my wedding dress almost 7 years ago, and it is still in fabulous condition. But I don't know if I'd be willing to pay $460 for it now.
Happy Birthday, Cindy!
ETA: Pretty Regency dresses! I do love the look, but unfortunately the look isn't that great on me. I think I could rock an Edwardian dress, though.
How about some androgynous glam rock stars for Jilli and Juliana?
Ah, also pretty. I feel like getting super-glammed up tonight, but since I'll probably just come home from the show, maybe not. Hmmm.
I could not justify $460 for a corset. $245, maybe. $460, no way.
I love my hairdresser. I emailed him about moving up our appointment because I'm having root issues. Here's what he emailed back:
Attention, Attention please....
Ahem. I will NOT have anyone running aorund with roots so bad they resemble a trailer park refugee. Please know I have rescheduled the summit with the president and Pope in order to accomodate you. I will fly to camp David when we are done, they will simply have to wait...Saturday it is. Can we say 11am?
