See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness

[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.

but I have a feeling off-the-rack Fredericks of Hollywood does not approach the kind of quality you gals are talking about

Nah, though I have one of that sort too, which is very pretty. we're generally talking about the sort with metal in it, which is strong enough to really hold you in and change your shape, which means that the fabric used does NOT have lycra in it (which would defeat the point). Unlike those "bustiers" or "corsets" you often see. These are more old school.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

These are more old school.

And awesome. But yeah, definitely not stretchy.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've read comments that the Fredericks "corsets" aren't really up to much in the way of, um, containment.

The dress I have with a corset top has a zipper down the front, which means I can get myself out of it easily (although I require help getting laced into it).

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Bouncy bouncy!

omnis, I'd sign up anyway. If your benefits at the new place have a hitch, you don't want to be caught without coverage. You can always cancel the COBRA.

Yeah, but doesn't have a certain amount of time to sign up after benefits end? So, if there was a problem, he could retroactively choose it?

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

You can sign up for the COBRA something like 58 days in arrears, though (i.e., until October 20-something in o_a's case) and have it take effect retroactively. So as long as you double and triple check the effective dates to make sure you don't drop a ball, you probably don't need to.

Our wings are not tired

Yeah, I thought you had a 30 day window to sign up for it and it will retroactively kick in.
