Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.
Speaking of clothing - my bra is trying to kill me.
Oh, those are both darling dresses.
It may possibly be better to wait until after Viva Las Vegas (4/14-16) to go vintage-hunting on eBay -- the selection is great right now, but bidding may get overly fierce. It should quiet down somewhat after that. The last time I did any serious eBay vintage bidding was two summers ago: mid-July or so, and I spent maybe $15 a dress with no sniping.
BUY THAT SKIRT. I COMMAND YOU.
But the pink and the blue together confuse me. However, we all know about my issues with multiple colors on one item of clothing. (Blue? Pink? Together? Whyyyyy?)
The dress that Aimée just linked, to is very nice, though.
LOVE that last dress. The swing one.
Well, Jilli, the mommy pink and the daddy blue love each other *very much*, and if you don't put them together, you never get purple.

Well, okay, if you put it that way. (But turquoise with pink? I Just Don't Know.)
oh, and Aimée? The black Stop Staring dress that I linked to last week? Is every bit as cute as we thought it was. Mind you, I took the bow off of the front waistband, and I took the skirt up by 6" because I'm not aiming for an era-specific look, but the dress is great. Very flattering, very comfy.
I am IN LOVE with the Stop Staring line. Some of it is a bit too straight for *my* issues, but I love love love the dresses. I wish they were sized a bit larger, though. You and I have the same measurements, it seems, what size was the black dress you bought? [link] This is my current favorite. With fishnets and cut high heeled mary janes? To. Die. For.
