Spike's Bitches 25 to Life  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I have some silk slips that I wear with certain things because the slips feel better against my skin.

Perkins, unless you want an endodontist in Berkeley, I got nothing. You can check the UCB Parents Network to see if they have any recomendations for a town near you.

I have some silk slips that I wear with certain things because the slips feel better against my skin.

I forgot, this is the other reason I wear a slip, if the skirt or dress it too itchy without one.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

If clothes don't feel good against my skin, I don't wear them anyway. I shop by touch.

Slips make my skirts hang better. I prefer just getting lined skirts to begin with, but not all of the ones I like come that way.

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

Cass and I are still one.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I shop by price, followed by touch and how much care is required. Garments which require hand-washing and ironing or dry cleaning tend to go back on the rack. If I was a rich sort of person, I would have lots of silk and linen and crepe and velvet clothing, and let someone else do the upkeep.

I don't buy anything I can't afford, but if it feels bad, it's automatically too expensive. It won't get worn.

Up with the sun

I own a slip or two, bought because I had specific skirts that struck me as being too see-through for comfort. But I can't remember the last time I wore either a slip or one of those skirts.

I own roughly eight gazillion slips, which are good for wearing under lace dresses. Most of them are black cotton and trimmed with lace.

OMG, I am a complete doofus and forgot to wish Deena a happy birthday yesterday. Happy (belated) Birthday, Deena!!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have a slip that I wear under skirts that are kind of sheer, like the currently-favored broomstick-hippie-flowy skirts. And, in fact, both the slip and the skirt are in my suitcase in the other room.

And here I sit, posting from Vermont, where it is very very pretty and very very hot. My Dad isn't driving me *too* crazy yet, though he keeps telling me how to drive, yet he refuses to drive. He's very good-natured, though, and when I give him a dirty look for telling me not to drive in the left lane, he just chuckles and says, "I know, if I don't like it, I can drive."

Insisting that we get a hotel suite instead of a room is the best decision I've made in a long time. Hello, healthy boundaries!

We flew in yesterday, Wednesday, otherwise known as New Comics Day. I need my comics. I'm twitching like a junkie.

My bro and almost-SiL look GREAT. I am so thrilled to see them. I also got to see his restaurant, finally, and it's supah-dupah cool, which Trudy, Nora, and Tom can attest to. We're having dinner there tonight. Can't wait.

And now Dad and I are killing time before dinner, since he doesn't want to go do any sightseeing. Good thing I brought a book.

And here's one photo of my bro to entertain you: [link]
