Yeah, after my initial "Oooo, I wish I could have been there!" reaction came the realization that I would have stuck out like a sore thumb in my cargo shorts and John Henry rayon shirts.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Looks like you actually had a nice day for that. That's been something of rare comodity in the northeast this "summer".
I noted with much irony that when I got back from the F2F that I instantly missed the Seattle weather.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Uhm, Jilli, I don't mind you using my photo on the Lip Service site, but you should really give me credit, and/or a link back to the photo's Flickr page.

Oh argh! I'll ask the LS webzine munchkin to do that. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Tom. I meant to include your name with the photo when I selected it and sent it to Jilli, but the whirl of multi-tasking we're ging through caused me to forget it. We will try to have that fixed as soon as possible.

Jilli, you might be my savior. The bit in the LS piece about wearing an ice pack under your corset -- BRILLIANT! I get excessively hot and sweaty in situations/locations where everyone else is cool as a cucumber; this is exacerbated, of course, by wearing a corset. Particularly a PVC corset.
I *so* can't wait to try this!

It works like a DREAM. I am taking ice packs to SDCC with me, because while the convention center is air conditioned, having an ice pack wouldn't hurt.

Steph, you can also buy something called a "bodice Chiller", which is a metal implement, often with a decorative top (think carrot shaped) that you put in the freezer and tuck into the front of your corset. They work wonders.

See, that right there is the situation I'm talking about -- I can be in an air-conditioned room that is objectively temperate and non-humid and STILL be sweating buckets.
I think I have a hinky autonomic nervous system.
