Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You know, people, somewhere out there, there's a guy waiting for a call back from the help desk, and y'all aren't helping him to get it any sooner because your PRETTY PRETTY DRESS LINKS are so much more fun.

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 will keeel you for that one, Empress.

But first I'd have to keeel myself in the gym. I haven't seen a 27 inch waist since I last played with a Barbie doll.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ok, between JZ's seamstress, my new one, and Jilli's, there should be a way for all of us (that want one - I know it's improbable that everyone wants ons one) to have a pink velvet circle dress.

Because books.

Those dresses are gorgeous. I'm having trouble deciding between them, though Aimee's is winning out, I think.

They're both making the J. Jill catalog look like chopped liver on stale toast.

Believe me, I am saving the pictures of it to show to Jay the WonderSeamstress. The trick will be finding fabric of comparable quality.

I had a 27 inch waist when I got married 3.5 years ago. I was living off of Xenadrine the original and cigarettes, but I was skinny. [link]

move out and draw fire

As much as I'm trending towards skirts and a more feminine style now, no, I do not want a circle dress (although...pink velvet!). I am not a big petticoat fan.

My favorite look of my own wardrobe so far was "goth film noir" which was heavy on the tailored 1940s/1950s-era suits with hats. Expensive (even making my own with Vogue vintage fashions), and quit being possible to wear to work when I started having to clamber around the computer lab daily.

Also, I was two dress sizes smaller.

New fashion goals include dropping at least one dress size and learning to wear shoes that go with skirts, then acquiring the skirts.

Unfortunately I have a hate-on for most undergarments.

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

I love beautifully draping bias-cut dresses. Not sure if they love me back, but given my clothes budget it's not like it'll affect my life one way or the other.

OMG!

flail, flail, flail

I just got e-mail from a recruiter from A Very Cool Company. A VCC that I submitted my resume to a few weeks ago. A VCC that one of our Buffistas works for in CA, that has a branch office here in WA.

Please oh please oh please ...

See, this is my problem. I wear jeans and sweaters mostly now, because a) I'm at home and must be comfortable, and b) I'm chasing around a devilish toddler. I think what I want, secretly, is the life -- or part of it -- that comes with a Victorian day dress. Like, afternoon calls. And being driven somewhere in a carriage. And having a big late afternoon tea. And, you know, a maid.
