I don't think that skirt is outrageous either, but I do think it is very pretty.
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It pretty much screams "Here is my ass, and don't you wish you had some of it?"
Having worn dresses with faux bustles and plain tight skirts, it only does a bit. Too much for work, perhaps. Not too much for play, and certainly less than some of my short skirts.

I'm getting used to seeing girls wearing jeans that go right up the crack of their asses and often have something stencilled over them as well, so that skirt seems more coy than brash. Although I'm not sure I'd wear it. Nice site, though they need a redhead model as well. Think you're required to have visible tattoos?

I couldn't wear it either, but I know I'm a font of body-image issues...or do I want "fount"?

The really visible tattooed girl is distracting, though I'm sure when you're used enough to her that you don't mistake her sleeves for the outfit's sleeves it's not so bad.
The Bettie Page clone is...man, a really good copy.
I like the Panther skirt here. Maybe when I start buying clothes in the new year I'll get something from them.

I like the Vamp Dress from that page, but I know from experience that those sleeves never look as good on me as I think they should.

I have yet to find the bra that would let me wear some of those necklines. Strapless bras shouldn't be that complicated. I'd love to try, though. They're kinda hot.

ARGH. The doctor? Who I need to call? To get authorization to refill my BC pills? No longer showing up on my insurance company's directory.

I am obviously lacking in cool and glamour. Skirts that are so tight you can see them pull in various directions only say to me "I refuse to admit that I should really be wearing a size larger". Plus they look so uncomfortable.

I think I need a humidifier or two for this apartment. Does anyone have a brand/make that they love, or one they would advise against?
I used to have this Bionaire, and before that I had another that I think was also a Bionaire. They did the job, but they were kind of noisy, and VERY annoying to clean... which led to them being gross, which led to me needing a replacement.
So I got a Venta, last year. It's expensive, but not so bad compared to buying a new humidifier every 2 years. It has a 10-year warranty, it's super-easy to clean, it's almost silent, and it's also an air-purifier. I can't swear to how good a purifier it is, but I'm about to lend mine to a friend with 3 cats, which seems like a good test.
When I was shopping around this seemed like a pretty good rundown of the pros & cons of different models.
