I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm frankly rather impressed.

Me too. Mainly by the matching purse element -- if I had the space and money, I'd have many shoes in many many colors as well. But I haven't anywhere near the necessary patience to switch purses every day.

If I only had a brain...

I've seen purse gadgets to solve this -- basically, there's an inner purse container that holds your wallet, pen, cellphone, and whatnot, and you just move the container from purse to purse.

Me? No. Sometimes my purse clashes with my dress, adn I am too lazy to do anything about this.

Thrive to spite them

Women who write novels and/or sex scenes in which the hero is turned on by the fact that the heroine's bra and panties match.

There was one writer I read for awhile who had all of her heroines wearing plain white tricot bras. Which the heros always thought were really appealing and kinda sexy.

Her heroines were also always tiny, could barely finish even half a sandwich, and were always always super innocent, even if they were pregnant/been married.

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

Women who write novels and/or sex scenes in which the hero is turned on by the fact that the heroine's bra and panties match.

I thought lingerie was supposed to be for men.

I think this is an issue that resonates deeply for women, but not so much for men. Once you're to the bra-and-panty stage, it's time for underwear to start hitting the ceiling fan anyway.

This totally depends on the man. For some men, it's candy sprinkles on top of the sex stuff.

For others, they don't really care.

I've experience both, and far prefer the latter, on account of a: being lazy; and b: being too large for matched sets.

You know what baffles me? Women who write novels and/or sex scenes in which the hero is turned on by the fact that the heroine's bra and panties match.

Maybe if it were this matched set...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought lingerie was supposed to be for men.

Slutty lingerie sets are supposed to be for men. I haven't met a guy who was impressed by my regular bras and panties (even if matching! even when matching my outfit!) since like high school. Unless they just didn't say anything.

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

Hivemind input, please? I've been looking for a necklace to match the bridesmaids' dresses, and I haven't been able to find a damn thing. The dress is wine-colored matte taffetta (that reflects some black); the picture makes it look brighter than it really is. It approximates the color of a black magic rose. [link]

No pics of the front yet. It's basically a v-neck empire waist with beading right underneath the bust. Simple yet elegant. I'd like to get each of them a necklace without breaking the bank, but the perfect one is hiding from me and I'm becoming frustrated.

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

I"m just happy if my underwear are clean and fit right, at this point. Matching is too much money, since I usually buy bras and undies at the VS SemiAnnual sales.

that is so cool.
