Heh. Awesome!
one woman started belting out "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year."
Cute!
It's a fair that has me mentally shrieking "MY PEOPLE!" every few minutes.
Hmm. I can relate....
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

For me, that fair is the Renaissance Faire. At least, for the minutes I'm not hiding my head and wailing, "O, my people!"
I desperately want another six or seven corsets, though I think I'm at the opposite end of that particular freak spectrum from the FSF folks: 'tisn't the leathers, it's the elaborate brocades and rubbed silks (I still pine for amych's scarlet shantung silk corset from the very first F2F) and the gorgeous embroidery that make me wibbly. Well, that and the "Holy shit, I have a waist!" effect.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(It's dupioni, not shantung, but OMG SO FLATTERED and aww)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
At least, for the minutes I'm not hiding my head and wailing, "O, my people!"
There's some of that for me at FSF, too. Also, looking at the jibblies on display and hoping they're covered in a really good SPF, because sunburnt jibblies aren't of use to ANYONE.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
A while ago Jilli pointed me at an ebay-er who makes custom corsets for a more reasonable price than Dark Garden. Need to revisit.
www.meschantes.com. Search eBay for "meschantes", because they have auctions for custom-fitted corsets with Buy It Now prices of $200.
I want a new corset. But the tattoos come first. (As in, this coming Sunday.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hee. I guess for me that was Austin, at the Alamo Marsathon.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I wear my corset to work, Burrell.
Yeah, well for me that really isn't an option. That's very much NOT how I want my students looking at me.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
oh Jilli, Shadow Fae closed down! I was so looking forward to pointing people to it - they admired the dress I got from them and I wanted to share the joy. sigh.

Dude, I totally knew that! I am so ashamed of myself.
And I forgot to mention the utter crazy awesomeness of the facts that (a) you made it yourself, and (b) it was your first such effort. Just, wow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not sure how my co-workers look at me because of it. Though I do get teased. As for how your students look at you...you've got that all taken care of and happily sewn up.
I shop with abandon for stuff I have no need to wear. But I'm hardly responsible for anyone other than myself (and...even then...the amount of corsetry I could get with just one month's worth of hospital bills...sad).
