Hee. Yep, that was me! And I was totally thinking of the Buffistas whilst writing it. Like "Crazy New York lady! Who can afford a $500 corset??"

I know many people don't like underbusts, but the Timeless Trends one I recommended is AWESOME if you do--$99 corsets!!! Seriously! $130 leather corset!! Who can beat that??? Nobody! And actually, when I went there to make sure I had the right link for her (though I don't think she actually put the links in her blog), it said something like overbust coming soon...which was intriguing...though those usually tend to have too much room for the bust to look good on me.

My grandfather is making homemade gnocchi, tomato sauce, and meatballs right now. It reminded me of our recent conversation about home. It smells like home with all of these foods cooking.

Happy Birthday, Ellie! What a beautiful, happy girl.

In theory I think it'd be fun to have a good corset, but the reality is when would I wear it?

Ah, but Burrell, if you have a corset, you end up finding occasions, trust me. :)

I have toyed with the idea of getting married in a dress with a corset over it, but I'm hesitant to buy one over the internet and I'm worried about the logistics of trying to get into it by myself when we elope.

There are several types of corsets that you can easily get into by yourself. That said, I can lace myself into my traditional corset without help (after it's been properly adjusted). It's not as good as having someone lace you into it, but it's fine.

Which types of corsets are easiest for lacing yourself up?

Yeah, like when Franny's friends come over for a play date, I can join them in dressing up like a princess!

::sigh::

I'm afraid that my days of wearing corsets, tap shorts, and fishnet stockings are over before they ever really began.

Mmmmm, Burrell in tap shorts.
