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

VPL can be solved by going commando

Visible bras can be solved by not wearing them -- doesn't make it practical, though.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I avoid white like the plague. It makes me look like a bleached Oompa-Loompa. "Black = slimming" is my mantra.

ION that should surprise no one, I am an idiot. I forgot to pay the credit card bill online before 3 pm, so now I have to do it over the phone and pay a $10 surcharge. It's the principle of the thing.

What is even happening?

I honestly don't worry about the panty lines, themselves, which I know is a no-no, but I just don't. I wear undies that are comfortable, and don't crawl. If I'm wearing a dress or skirt, I try to avoid VPL, and hose usually smooth them enough for me that it works (and slips come in handy, too) but don't worry about it, when I'm wearing pants. I don't try to have VPL, but I don't worry about it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I am so ready for this trendy of gauzy clothing to end.

Me too. I met a woman the other day who was wearing an unlined tan linen skirt, and a black thong. I was just dying to tell her to go fetch herself a slip.

The cluelessness of the clotheswearing public is mindboggling.

I've learned to forgive most instances of VPL -- the body does what it does, and sometimes you just can't help it -- but All Panty Visible is a bit much, you know?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think the effects of my not wearing a bra are much worse than not wearing underwear or wearing a bra that shows through. That being said, I don't wear a whole lot of white, mostly because I'm so freaking clumsy that it never stays white, and I look messy.

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

I have become all enamored of bleach and added quite a bit of white to my wardrobe. Even though I am not as tan as I used to be, I think it's a good color on me.

And yet, black shoes every day.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

White doesn't do much for my complexion. My favorite drinks are brown and involve caffeine. I'm a clutze.

I'm kind of surprised I have any white shirts in my wardrobe at all.

One thing I'll never understand is those thongs that have pearls or diamantes instead of fabric up the back. Just, what? And also, ow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

hose usually smooth them enough for me that it works (and slips come in handy, too)

Aw. I don't remember the last time I wore either hose or a slip. I am slatternly!

And yet, black shoes every day.

I was just reading a thing where they said this character was color-blind, and that's why he was wearing brown shoes with his navy suit or something, and I was like, why on earth would he have brown shoes??! But then, I gave up on brown and navy shoes years ago due to matching issues.

I'm wearing olive shoes right now!

But ok, the default is black. I challenge myself to not wear black shoes.
