The peplum effect, the only thing it brings to mind for me is that Italian woman in Matrix #2, wearing a latex white dress that was translucent enough to show her landing strip. The jacket had a peplum in the back, but all it did was make her ass look like a cuttlefish.

Not exactly the "illusion of fun" one is going for.

Oh oh indeed.

Dana, in the Old Natter, you were talking about new fandoms. Did you ever get around to/feel like watching Hustle?

(I didn't feel like waiting for new natter YAY posts to die down before asking.)

It's on the list, I swear. I have the discs you generously sent me. They're sitting right over there.

So no Hustle Slash for ita's birthday?

Oh well.

More seriously though, I sent it to you because I thought you would enjoy it (and write us slash).

If you never get around to it, ce la vie.

I will! I promise!

Yay, if you have time/inclination.

For those of you who may have been following my Career Change and Career Advancement series (wherein I start off by vamping Giles and going from there), I've finished the 2nd story in Career Advancement, Downsizing.

Ok, this is crazy, but I need to know of a high-profile sporting event during the "Chosen" era that was vaguely Sunnyhell-adjacent.
