Weird. I mean, not entirely without merit -- on average, girls do have an easier time conforming to those expectations, and schools do reward that kind of behavior. But it's hardly Milton's fault, or something to be fixed through litigation.
Kaylee: H-how did you... g-get on...? Early: Strains the mind a bit, don't it? You think you're all alone. Maybe I come down the chimney, Kaylee. Bring presents to the good girls and boys.

[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 mean, really. Do Italians leave their babies in the car? Do the French, or the Swiss? Or anybody else but freaking USians?
No, but I know a lot of Europeans will go into a cafe to have coffee or whatever, and leave the kiddo sitting in a stroller outside--there was a whole thing about someone who did that in New York(?) and she was all "but we do it at home!"
Victoria! One of the reasons I was wanting a girl child. I would have named her Victoria. And called her Tori of course.
One of my friends in college was named Victoria. She went by Tori, because she hated "Vicky" and didn't want to go by Victoria due to the store. She'd heard too much about "oooh, what's your secret? HAHAH"
Ugh, I just got the "you're smothering me" speech
I think Eddie needs to be a lesbian. Two dates and a UHaul, anyone?
but that link to the chainmail skirt reminded me of a friend who makes chainmail jewelry
Wow, Maidengurl, her stuff is really pretty!!
I love how DETERMINED Plei's kiddo looks.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
For Aimée and Jilli: Pricey but gorgeous.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh, that's a gorgeous one. The one I desperately covet but could never never never fit into unless I had a really ghastly week-long bout of flu complete with fever and puke (note to universe: thanks but no thanks; I don't want the dress that badly) is this one. Very simple but gorgeous. If it were the right size, it'd look fabulous on you, too.

Now tagless for your comfort.

BWAAAAH! I have a friend I need to hook you up with. But she lives in Switzerland.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I love these vintage dresses. Made to show off a woman's hips, thus, allowing her to have them. Now if only my waist were that small, I'd buy them. 'Cause I've sure got the hips.

Zenkitty, I did find one ridiculously cute, curvy, hip-encouraging large vintage dress. I have no idea if it'd fit anyone here, but damn, it's cute.
eta: And it has pockets!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh! Oh, that's CUTE. That would fit me. I think. Maybe a touch big in the bosom, but...

ooOOoo. That might be big in the bust on me, too, but still. Nice. I'm watching it. Thanks, JZ!
