I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

[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.

Mostly lurking...
AIMEE! I almost have the top to Emeline's dress done, and it is SO. DAMN. CUTE! I might have to make one for Olivia and Halloweenie and Lillian! So cute! Can't wait to see pictures of it on her.

Because books.
You guys rock with the suggestions. I love everyone getting their Victoriana geek on.
AmyLiz, there are also things like traveling desks (with secret compartments), large-ish bags (reticules, portmanteaux, etc.) with pockets sewn closed, a hatbox with a false lining.
A hatbox is cool, but I can't see it being a gift (unless, you know, a hat came with it).
I was going to say button-hook because that's the sort of thing I think of.
Very cool little implements, and very much of the era, but yeah, not so good with the hiding stuff.
How about a handkerchief box? [link] Or a sewing box? [link] I have a lap desk, but it seems to be rather large for a present from Victoria.
A handkerchief box would also work! I think I'm going to Google images of glove, handkerchief, and collar boxes until I find one I love, and pick then.
AmyLiz, a posy holder might be too small to hold a letter, at least if you want it hidden well. But it's very, very Victorian.
Oh, very much so! So cool.

In completely random news, I'm watching "Last Holiday" (the Queen Latifah one) and there's this scene where Alicia Witt is just GORGEOUS. I don't know what color the dress she's wearing is--sort of a reddish brown? But with her hair and gorgeous skin, it's just BEAUTIFUL.
I can't tell you what Christopher did tonight, because I can't make myself type it out. If he's okay, 19 years from now, on his 25th birthday, I'm walking up to him, saying, "Happy Birthday, son" and popping him square in the nose
I say wait until he's 21, maybe...

She doesn't so much swoop as she does bounce, but that works for "Peek-A-Boo".

Well, swooping is a learned skill. Bouncing is innate.

adds "Mommy's underwear does not go on your head" to list of things I need to teach Em.

I'm getting the pig!
Wonders where Em learned "Mommy's underwear *does* go on your head".
Suspects Joe.
