So, I totally got my day off to a creepy start, with a nasty guy rubbing up on me in the subway. EWWW. I half-convinced myself that it was just that the train was so crowded, but you can tell. Then when a seat opened up and I walked away, he totally touched me with his hand. Ew ew ew. I turned around and said, "SERIOUSLY!??!" but he just looked the other way and ignored me. I hate that shit.

I think eBay is really the way to go for a slip, ita.

Happy Anniversary, Rio and Saget! I actually saw them the other night, and things seem to be going just fine.

I'm weirded out by buying a whole new category of clothing, one I haven't had a chance to try on. I'm flummoxed that something can have gone that out of style.

I was just opining that unless a groper is really gropey, it's hard to justify (for me) hitting them until they make their second move.

The thing I figured about a slip is that fit is less important than in outside clothes. The one I bought is a little small, but it really doesn't matter.

And the problem with the subway frottage is that it's hard to avoid touching people altogether when the train is that crowded, so sometimes when I think it's someone nasty, it's actually just someone's bag or something, so I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I'm usually not wrong.

Eww! Hands off the Jesse, please.

HAPPY DAY, RIO!

Slips are impossible to buy locally here. On line the only option.

Happy Anniversary, Rio!

Eww, Jess. I hope the rest of the day gets better.

Happy Anniversary, Rio and Saget!

Jesse, no creepy guys on the subway for you. We will send ita to hurt him.

I dislocated my left kneecap when I was in high school. It was 90 degrees to the left. That hurt.

A boyfriend dislocated his shoulder in a strange accident about 10 years ago. He refused to go to the hospital and ended up mostly resetting it himself by banging it against the side of his boat. I ended up pushing it the rest of the way in. Gives me shudders to this day.

Somebody's missing the Ventures Brothers.

And it was a good one – Dr. Girlfriend and Phantom Limb double date with The Monarch and a girl he met online.

p.s. – no S in Venture

I wish someone had stopped me from looking at it. Kinda stays with you.

Oh, I feel you on that. A friend of mine dislocated his ankle during rugby. Scary. Icky. I can post a picture if you want.

I'm concerned about two things with the slip--that it's...okay, three...that it's totally not tight, b) that it's not too loose for the dress and (3) that it's shorter than the dress. I can't measure the length on me myself, and measuring against the dresses may work, but because of different fits making them hang differently, could be off by an inch or so.

Plus, there's the skin tone issue. Some colours stand out against my skin tone, and some look decently non-obvious. No way to tell from a computer screen.

Okay, so there are a lot of reasons. I just don't like hit and miss when there are no returns.

Old fogeys must be getting their lingerie somewhere, right?

I don't remember whether it was dislocated or what, but when we had the accident in which the car flipped (or something. 1 and a half plus bounce?) it did something to my friends knee and foot. It didn't end up causing enough damage to keep her out of soccer 6 months later, but in the ambulance the knee just looked wrong and her foot was horribly floppy. We later decided that having to hand in a paper with dried blood on it was not nearly as disturbing and the way her leg looked that day.

ita, depending on the trim of the bottom of the slip, you can always hem it. Even if the bottom is lace, it could be removed, the slip shortened and the lace put back on.
