Ok, now I'm seeing Dennis Hopper as ABG and that's scary.

"DADDY'S HOME! NOW GET THE FUCK OUT!!!"

You know, I still want a corset. I took my measurements the other night, after people kept asking me how much weight I'd lost and I'm 44-36-43. I would ROCK a corset!

YEAH, you would! I actually don't know my measurements right now, because I've lost close to 25 pounds since the end of November, through literally no effort of mine -- just a fucked up combo of stomach flu, cracked tooth, Wellbutrin, and physical therapy. I still eat like shit and, although I work out 3-4 times a week, "work out" = walk on treadmill for 30 minutes. So it's not exactly a high-intensity, feel-the-burn workout. And it's also not anything new, so I seriously doubt it's the exercise that led to the weight loss.

It was just a perfect storm of several outside factors.

And humm, corsets. I'll have to think about it, because being the person I am, first thing that comes to mind is "OK, but where would you wear it to...?".

I have a black corsetish tank-top (sort of...) which I'm fond of, but I guess it's not the same, at all.

Jilli wears them to work. A black corset over a white button-down shirt is pretty sedate, actually.

Surgery, depression and poverty, baby! I feel ya!

"OK, but where would you wear it to...?".

I know, I know! And I live alone, so to wear it out (and I'm kind of a slutty dresser, so I'd probably wear it to get coffee eventually!) I'd have to tie the string to a doorknob to tie it.

A corset over anything would not be appropriate for my work, I'm afraid. I work with teenagers, no way!

But for going out, yeah. I bought a really wide belt and I love the corsety effect it has.

I think I'll have corsets when I'll have someone in my life who's rich enough to pay for them so I'll just model them. So to speak.

Interesting. But, I don't know - for how long can you wear one? I hate wearing bras for more than 12 hours straight, so corset for a few hours sounds... tricky.

I defer to Jilli on all things corset-y, but I know she's said that a properly fitted custom corset is exceedingly comfortable to wear all day.

A-ha. That makes it #7396 for Things I'll Try When I'll Have The Time And Money For Them.

But I love the pictures. Though I'd go for the black one, from the ones you linked to.

yes, it's true. And it's good for your back! Only tricky bit is sitting, but you just have to perch on the edge of a chair and sit up reaaaally straight. Forces good posture :)

God, whose corset did I wear in LA? Plei's, I think; it was PVC and made of awesome! It sure as heck does make you aware of sitting and standing, though!
