I'll probably wear the dress juliana passed on to me a few months ago, mostly because it packs up real small (though it's also very very pretty; she also passed along a sumptuous full rustly skirt and silvery top that I'd love to wear instead or as well, but I really don't want to pack enough stuff to have to check in baggage unless I absolutely have to).

juliana, I'm still holding off on paying up for my share of Prom per your instructions--should I just give you the money in person sometime this weekend?

Juliana, you did NOT make me feel uncomfortable, and with all of the organizing you've been doing, I'm happy to help out. I am just sometimes not the greatest with organizing groups - I am too lone wolf-ish. ;) But I've already received emails about Underworld, so I am excited!!

And about corset shopping on my birthday, a definite possibility. If not Sunday, I will make a trek to SF during the week.

Oh, that dress looks HOT on you, JZ. And yes, this weekend is fine. If I decide to ship Fernet, do you want to pack in the big skirt & top?

What are the corset shopping expedition possibilities in Seattle, I wonder? Bankbreaking?

Lace-trimmed camis or fancy tank tops. Also peasant tops look kick ass under corsets.

Yep. Any lace-trimmed cami will work. Of course, I tend to wear Victorian-esque blouses, because I have Issues about my upper arms.

JZ, wear that dress!

Honestly? Not very good. But then, I do custom, not off-the-rack, so I may be out of the loop.

Assuming I bellydance, though, I have to pick a song and figure out the accompanying outfit.

Hmmm, maybe "Shake Your Hips" by Slim Harpo. Or possibly the Stones cover of same.

Maybe I just like thinking about Smonster shaking her hips.

Juliana--I'm about to go hit the liquor store, I don't think you need to ship the fernet: things I have learned: you can search the state liquor stores for specific types of liquor, and not only find out whether it's carried, and the price, but which stores have it in stock, and how many! CRAZY! They claim there are seven bottles in stock at my local. I will go find out if this is true.

and the 3 olives! don't forget the 3 olives! I mean, it's not like I HAVE to have it, but I like it :)

meara, how do you end up getting paid back for liquor purchases, etc? Should I be sending you some dough?
