Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

All right, Bitches, help me out here. Pick your favorite three pour moi.

Rhinestone black satin - [link]

Bottle green taffetta overbust - [link]

Red/black floral underbust damask - [link]

Black halterneck - [link]

Victorian silver-green - [link]

Silver/black brocade - [link]

I left out the Basque, realizing there were SEVEN and it's my least favorite. Please keep in mind that I have no corsets currently and I'm planning to move to NOLA (yes, that's part of my justification).

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I like the red/black underbust, the Victorian silver-green, and the silver/black brocade, smonster

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Pick your favorite three pour moi.

I started to just kneejerk list my 3 favorite in general, but then I realized that how they look ON YOU is relevant. So...

The bottle green (it's just such a classic style, and the color is awesome)

Red/black floral underbust damask (it's lovely, AND that way you have an overbust AND an underbust)

The halter (because it's awesome AND then you have a black corset, and that's a classic goes-with-everything corset)

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I friggin love the burlesque silver/blk. I'd shy away from the underbust but only because i've have less than stellar experiences with underbusts (less sleek and elegant, more milkmaid).

I like the silver/black brocade.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Teppy's answers are mine as to which ones I think would look best on you, smonster. I really like the black halterneck.

I keep going back to that pink with black corset. That is a DAMN good price for a steel boned corset. Is it worth it for me to blow 2+ weeks worth of spending money?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Okay, I'm sold on the bottle green and the halter, but torn between the underbust red and the overbust silver/black. Y'all know I'm a fiend for red/black, but I'm just not sure... and with the halter, I could wear a red skirt. Hmm.

eta the red/black underbust is WAY more on sale. We have a winnah.

eta more - wait, i thought it was three for two, and it's not giving me one free. WTF?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The halter and the striped damask are in my cart too. Along with these:

Hot damn, brenda. I actually yelled "Jesus CHRIST" out loud when I saw the brown one. Humina.

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction.
