Hil, could you mention your last trip, and that you (if you did) found it moving to be in the land of your more ancient ancestors? Is there any kind of connection you could make between your desire to help and the fact that so many Jewish Israelis are Holocaust survivors or the offspring of same? Could you say something about wanting to counter all the war, aggression and destruction in the world by building something up, which seems to be an act of peace? Could you say something about it being a mitvah?
I have all these coulds, because I don't know why you want to help other than that you're a good woman, and because the idea has captured your mind and heart in some way or another.

Oooh, thanks. That's exactly what I was trying to say but couldn't put into words.
According to the comments the tiny creature in the tiara is a baby hamster.
Also, Hil, how can you help out? What skills do you have that can be put to use?
But Meschantes recommends ordering a size 4-6 inches smaller than your natural waistline, because their corsets can -- with proper training -- reduce your waist by that much.
Sadly, these days I can lace my meschantes corset shut, and it's not THAT tight, when I do.
Of course, I ordered a new corset (from Timeless Treasures--$99 for an underbust corset, though not custom), and went by their guidelines, and apparently should've ordered a smaller size--when I tried my friend's on by myself, I thought it'd be perfect, but having her lace me into it Saturday night, it was basically laced shut. I think it's because my middle is all smushy.
(Edit: That said, I LOOOOOOOVE my new corset, which is black with white pinstripes, and fits great, and looks super super hot, and I can't wait until I can put up pictures!)

I think I speak for all of us when I say: Bring it to San Francisco. We'll take pictures.

I'm sure you're not the only one.
When I reach my WW goal, I am absolutely buying a corset.
Heh. Well, I'm hoping to download the pictures off my camera when I get a new computer. Which I'm hopoing to do in the next week or two. But I'll also bring it to SF if Juliana promises me somewhere to wear it to....
Also, Dita Von Teese was on America's Next Top Model tonight!!
there are no brownies or cookies in my house.
I am vaguely itchy
glad I am that I told matt to head to a concert without me. However, If I had gone, I might have found a brownie.
