ION:
I might seriously need to borrow a corset or two for the end of October. The more outre, the better. I'm a 14/16, can provide exact measurements, and would pay for shipping here, back and have it cleaned (unless it's latex or leather) before returning.
My friends have generously bought and paid for tickets and travel -- the whole trip, really -- for us to go to a wicked cool masquerade/Burning Manthang in Detroit the weekend of October 22nd.
Costume are mandatory. I have a silver ballgown skirt, and a swancy sequined and embroidered wrap skirt in purple and gold, and can, of course, do my own fabulous makeup, but a corset would be the non plus ultra.
Anyone who might be willing, just let me know!
I haven't had an adventure like this in years, so it's kind of a belated 39th bday present.
Barb, you look absolutely radiant! And like you were having a ton of fun!
Andi, I'm glad it looks like the doubled up drugs are doing their job. Fast relief and healing~ma to Daniel.
Andi, continued medical~ma for you and Daniel.
Great photos, Barb!
Sending quick healing thoughts to Daniel!
Glad to hear Daniel is already showing some improvement.
Barb, you look fantastic! Relaxed, light on your feet, confident.
Erin, woot! So excited for you. Don't have a corset of my own, sadly, and I'm not quite the right size. But hopefully someone will have one they can lend.
Rainy day chaos in the warehouse, yahoo.
Well, you'd have to dig yourself out of the hole anyway, and you're doing it in your dream city at a job that seems to be pretty kick ass so far!
Oh, absolutely. Just a bit of regret for poor decisions up to this point. But it's good to know how deep I am, that will help keep me focused on getting out.
Catching up:
~ma for Daniel and his leg
Best wishes for peace among Jilli's kitties
Congratulations to Barb.
And bon voyage to Erin. Also, Erin, if you haven't gotten your fonts installed - I know in Windows you have to put the files in the "fonts" folder. On a Mac ... I don't know, but there's sure to be either an installation process or some specific place they have to be.
And, for your entertainment - I arrived at my office this morning to find TWO fire engines outside and a cluster of firefighters in the lobby. I asked if it was safe to go in and they said it was. That's probably the most exciting thing that'll happen today. I hope.

Erin, check my FB page. I wore one to a party this weekend (black with red flowers on it) and there are pics posted. I'm a 14/16, too, so it should work for you if you want to borrow it. It's a cheapy one so it's not terrific on actual body shaping, but it works.
~ma to WS and DCJ.
ooh! it's Talk Like a Pirate Day. Avast, me hearties!
ChiKat, remind me real quick of your first name, I am so absentminded.
