Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

[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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Shit. Shit shit shit shit. There are reports about heavy exchange of fire where my sister is for several hours. But she called 2 and a half hours ago.

And I think I need more explanation about what underwire bra is.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The Glittery Hoo-Ha of Happiness

Aww, I kinda like this. The glitter part is all Bitchy. Sorta.

I have never owned a comfortable structured bra. I have some sports bras that confine and support but don't squish that I rely on for most daily use. I spent far too long in excruciating bras to give another moment to boobular discomfort, unless there's an expensive dinner and a really good show involved.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

The Glittery Hoo-Ha of Happiness

I had a friend who would call it the "Holy of Holies". Possibly he spelled it differently in his head.

At any rate, any time he said it, I had a very strange vision in my head that was a mix of a Hustler spread and the Well of Souls scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Brings whole new meaning to the "Staff of Ra".

eta: Also, hilarious connotations to "They're digging in the wrong place!"

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.

Here is a collection of pictures of different underwire bras. [link]

Always Anti-fascist!

I hate when they get old and washed to death and the wire attacks you.(I originally capitalized Wire; old habits die hard)

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Thanks, WindSparrow.

And the difference between them and shelf bras is...?

Also, I'm about having to duck tape my fingers together to not go all mushy and offer more hugs, Shir, after what you said the other day about not needing them every time you update on the situation. Just know that your sister and you and the whole situation are still getting as much ~ma as I can send.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

And thanks again.

I'm stressed. And have to make soup, and read 2 articles.

“Not dead yet!”

Aww, I kinda like this. The glitter part is all Bitchy. Sorta.

In romance writing, it definitely is. It's a common defining factor of the ultimate Mary Sue heroine. Especially if she's TSTL and we can't figure out why in hell the hero would be interested in her. We figure it's because she must be in possession of The Glittery Hoo Ha of Happiness.

Of course, now MM has added further to the legend with his Raiders allusions.

This is the classic style sports bra [link] that qualifies as a shelf bra. Also, most built-in bras in camisoles and tank tops and swim suits are shelf bras. Shelf bra is not an official term, like underwire bra is. We just call it that, because the support offered is like putting both boobs up on a shelf between a couple of bookends. [link] It's an attractive way to store your books no matter how big the book, but not so attractive, or comfortable, generally, for boobs, particularly the bigger ones.
