Giles ,'Touched'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I found that all the "negative" stereotypes of generation X were actually positive (like, brusque and focussed on the bottom line)
We are? I mean, okay, I'm brusque with the best of 'em, but... we are? And here I've been trying to live up to the slacker ideal in spite of my native type-A-ness.
(And is it just me, or is there a wee titch of gender weirdness in those go-getter Xers and earthy nurturing mommy boomers?)
Speaking of Magic, for Jesse.
Eee! I'm totally entering that EVERY DAY.
I am not very modest at all.
Huh.
I find black pearls (real ones) are almost never monochromatic. I mean, the jewelers sort them by color, gray or pink or green tone, but when I see them on people, they seem to shift with the light and be all, you know, pearlescent.
The appeal to slips is not that they match skin or clothing, but that they provide another layer of barrier between the world's eyes and your butt. I think it's perfectly OK to look at a see-through skirt and see a slip; but to look through a see-through skirt and see underpants is less savory.

probably not for the perverts.
How about this one, Maria? [link]
I am a convert to the idea of a set, because it's one less thing to worry about (coordinating earrings).
Probably anything with red in it would be too matchy-matchy with the dress.
Perzactly. I don't want the Stepford bridesmaids, and I want them to have something they'll wear again.
Surprise! Their flowers are cream colored roses with burgundy mini calla lilies. The only pink is some subtle embroidery in my dress and on the flowergirl. The flowers are either cream or dark burgundy.
Jesse, I was contemplating a set, but my thinking went along the lines of "If I can't find a freakin' necklace, how the hell am I going to find a set?"
Perkins, how multichromatic are they?
I wore it without a slip at my grandmother's memorial service and noticed (whoops!) that when backlit, it was fairly transparent.
I learned this lesson, many years ago, from the then Lady Diana.
Well, that and never marry royalty. Ever.
