Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.  

[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'd like to join the cult, but I have not the money at the moment. Sigh. Some day my princess line will come.

I'm an idiot. What is a "front busk"?

We need pictures, darling Mae.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm an idiot. What is a "front busk"?

A front busk is the clasps/hooks down the front that open and close the corset. These have no front busk (although that IS the style I got, and they put a busk in for me). These do have a front busk.

Ahhhh, gotcha. Thanks, Steph. They are beautiful.

One day. One day. Well, I'll also need to find someone to lace me in, but I'll worry about that when I can afford one.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

my brain is in a rut. Which happens when I can feel the seasons changeing, I think. So I want to be something different , but really can't think of anything different that I want to do . so I feel like everthing is boreing, even though I'm not really bored. It is sort of like futless- but there is no energy. and it is vaguely fake. It might be that urge to prep for winter , even though winter isn't the same as the winter I grew up with. My brain is whiney.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My friend and I were talking the other day about fall making us manic and itchy. I prefer spring.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh, not me. Fall is comfortable, spring makes me antsy.

I really love fall and spring - I feel most alive then , but I go through some 'bad' days that feel really illogical.partly, it is the unpredictability of the weather/temperature, etc. . partly, it is the allergies.

It was gorgeous.
