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?
Oooh, thanks. That's exactly what I was trying to say but couldn't put into words.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ann, that's a ferret.
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I can't wait until I can put up 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.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Conference is over. It was fantabulous, except teeny, tiny parts which we won't mention. However, I have a headache, a crick in my neck, a start of a blister on my toe, and I'm so tired I could spit, although I don't really know what spitting has to do with anything.
I'm also soooooo very inspired and can't wait to get back to work to hopefully implement at least some of the ideas I've gotten. This inspiration is continuing through the exhaustion, which is kind of amazing to me.
By the way, the tiredness is not that the conference is so tiring, just that I haven't really slept for over a week now. Blerg.
