I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm on OKCupid... maybe I should answer some of these emails. I had two really bad dates from OKC so I went off it but maybe I should give it another chance.

What do you guys think of this skirt?

I like it, but $40 seems like a lot for a skirt that doesn't have a hem.

dear asshat customer dude: Don't call up and say you owe us an apology and then go on to say it's our fault you were upset. You were screaming obscenities at a pregnant woman. "I'm sorry your policies made me mad" is not an apology. You're lucky I wasn't here last night or you'd have been arrested.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm with Laga on the skirt. Seems pricey, but the hand wash care instructions would keep me away because hand washing doesn't happen in my life. The flowers probably require that.

I know the woman who makes the skirts but I was thinking it was pretty expensive. But then, I've never had hand made clothes before. Her stuff is extremely well made, though--she wears her own stuff and it holds up.

I'm considering wearing more skirts and thought this might be a good start. I could just call her and ask her to make something specifically for me, if I'm going to spend that much.

An article about a new type of bra: [link] - the emphasis is on comfort rather than uplift.

The emphasis is apparently on continuing back and shoulder problems, because the main problem with bras (including that one, from what I can see) is that all the weight of the breasts is suspended from the shoulders. The picture with the article shows that the "x" design of the straps is still sitting way too high up - it's sitting where badly-fitting bra bands always sit.

So she took a badly-fitting bra design AND made it less supportive. I am unimpressed. Also, a bra that is properly fitted IS comfortable. Not as comfortable as a custom-fitted overbust corset, but still more comfortable than that new type of bra.

(Yes. I Have Views about undergarments.)

I don't buy bras without a fitting -- and never have I been 8+ hours comfortable in a bra.

Cashmere, it's a cute enough skirt, but I wouldn't consider it $40 of cute. Also, the flowers look like they were made by taking apart regular silk flowers from the craft store, layering a couple of petal sections, and then sewing a glass button in the center. So, clever idea, but not executed brilliantly or anything.
