poor smonster, had to go to Urgent Care, the opthamologist, the pharmacy (allergic reaction, I think) ON HER BIKE IN THE RAIN ON VACATION. Tom and I got back from work and she's crashed out in bed, poor thing.
I feel so bad for her.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
sj, when you feel up to it, post a link to your ideal dress and size, and I am sure the hivemind can point you in the right direction!

Buffistas are the bestest, in case I haven't mentioned it lately.
sj, does it have to be silk?
I would really prefer it, but I would be happy with an natural feeling soft fabric that isn’t polyester or the like.
sj, rest up and hydrate to clear out the overdidits...then relax and try again.
Margaritas don’t count as hydrating do they? TCG took me out for Mexican food, even though I know he really really didn’t want to go out.
sj, did you try J.Crew?
Yes, the 2 I really liked do not come in a large enough size.
sj, how about this for under whatever you find?
I already bought a pretty white crinoline on ebay, that was the easy part.

I don’t have a link because I can’t find the ideal dress; as usual it only exists in my head. I wear a 14 in most clothing but I am finding dresses are running smaller.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Most dresses created for the wedding industry run about 2 "sizes" smaller. Assholes.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Buffistas are better than the birds in Cinderella for trimming finding a pretty pretty dress for a pretty pretty sj!
Jilli: What's the recommended method for getting odors like smoke out of something you don't want to wash, like a corset? Cheap vodka in a spray bottle? Do you dilute it with water?

To make sure you feel as awful as possible after a day of dress shopping? It's the only think I can think of.

I'm pretty sure they do it to make you feel like shit so you'll spend more money in a frantic attempt to make it all ok.

And then there's what I like to call the Fat Chick Surcharge. Ordering over a size 18? Oh that'll be a $30-$150 surcharge for all of the extra fabric we'll need to fit your giant ass/hips/belly/thighs/head that you will then pay $50-$175 having altered to fit you properly, thereby cutting away all the fabric you just paid for.
I repeat: Assholes.
I used to dream of opening a bridal store where none of the dresses had sizes in them. Only my employees knew what size anyone needs/wants/buys.

That didn't work on me but combined with some very rude sales people, it did make me sort of homicidal.
