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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

This is her dress.

That's stunning.

I can't imagine having a chapel-length train, though. I'd trip over it the moment I tried to turn around. (I had the train on my dress removed. It's in my closet right now, in case anyone wants a few feet of ivory silk satin.)

Thrive to spite them

$3000 isn't over the top for a dress. Not when some women spend closer to $10,000.

Mom was watching a TLC or Style show about weddings and there was a wedding coordinator trying to get money from the groom because the vendors had to be paid when they came to set up. The groom waited until the last minute to show up so the planner had to pay for things out of pocket. Although she did corner him and make him sign a contract. The groom paid for three things --- the music, the food and something else -- a total of $20,000 just for that.

This is her dress.

You know what? It looks Prom-y to me. I think it's all about the demeanor of the bride wearing it -- and, to me, most women can't pull off wearing a strapless wedding dress. Jess is the exception to the rule.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

If he was supposed to call at 3:30, and he doesn't call by 4, am I allowed to call him?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

She might pull it off. Not sure yet.

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

I spent way more than I could imagine spending on my dress, but my parents generously picked up the tab and it was just so perfect. And a large portion of the price in my case was the extensive fitting and tailoring that made it fit like a dream. My mother made my flower girl's dress and my sister's wedding dress, and she was very impressed with the seamstress work, so I think it was worth it.

Eta: It's now in a box in my closet.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Anya certainly didn't.

Send me an email and I'll look for it when I get back from Chicago. (There's a chance I got rid of it when we moved, but if I still have it in the closet, it's yours.)

Errr....apologies to anyone I very likely offended with my strapless-dress prejudice and/or my damn-that's-a-lot-of-money prejudice.
