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

The one pictures looks a little like it would flop down over the ribbon on some people if not tied tight enough-- it looks like it is just satin

Actually, it's not floppy at all--quite stiff. The floppiest of the obis are the VS ones, but they're overlapped cummerbund style. Blackrabbit's belts are quite stiff taffeta-ish.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

You may not be able to tell, but is the fabric itself stiff or is it fused to a stiffer interfacing?

This post from the unnecessary quotation marks blog is making me laugh, although it is the parentheses, not the quotation marks in which I find humor. (I am not going to make these to sell, but I might want to make myself one!)

hip deep in pie

I am cursing Sophia for linking to alight. So many pretty dresses and no money!

I think there are lots of Buffistas on my Facebook you might know list, but then the real name thing gets confusing to me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

>Yeah, she's another aspiring writer that I know from both local events and Regency circles. My guess is that she's got your name confused with some writer or other.

I guessed she was a writer, I just couldn't figure out what would make me interesting to her. Hard to imagine mistaking my name for another's, but maybe she knows another Norah.

I think it's the fabric itself. I'll make sure to fondle it when I go home.

I googled the belt (lots of hits, weirdly) to see if I could find a explicit note, and found suggestions of how to wear it amongst other things. Maybe more pics will give you more info.

As I was googling my wardrobe, I was also googling my lunch and ordering a pickup at campusfood.com. If it were possible I'd be checking with the nearest pharmacy to see if they have my meds in stock, but NSM with the online possibility.

Dammit. Why not?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Have other people seen ads for The FitFlop? I'm both baffled and impressed that they're getting away with the fitness claims. I mean, I'm sure if you walk around in them enough, you will start to see health benefits, but that's because you're walking around a lot.

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

Also, WHY WHY WHY THIS INEXORABLE SPREAD OF UGG/FLIP-FLOP HYBRIDS? WHY?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

the fitness claims seem a bit much. Most people seem to only be saying that they have decreased leg or back pain and that seems more resopnable, especially if they were wearing flip flops with no support. I hate things between my toes though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Where Do Homosexuals Get All Their Energy?

I know what you're saying: Brandon, you're just perpetuating the stereotype that homosexuals are superhuman. That is totally not true. All I'm saying is, with their boundless energy and talents, they make us straight guys look bad.

Just look at the way they dress. They must get up bright and early just to figure out how to match their homosexual outfits. They do this, plus take the time to have a nice, hot morning bath. And they eat, too. Homosexuals know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. By 8 a.m., they are out the door, fully rested and raring to go.

Flip flops with support to make extended wear more comfortable is a great idea! The rest of it is a bunch of bullshit.

Okay, off to get my .. my .. damn, I forget what I'm having for lunch. The internet promotes this, doesn't it?
