Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
He's wearing a COLLAR.
Is that period-accurate?
No, that really is a serious question.
I mean, I don't CARE if it's not, but it just pinged me.
(And don't tell me that *I* should know; I'm a 21st-century pervert. What do I know from Holmesian-era collars?)
(And now I'm picturing Cumberbatch-Holmes in RDJ's place. I might have to go lie down.)
Oh my (ala Annie Savoy).
I saw my regular doc today. Other than the iron issues, my blood work looks great. Thyroid is where it should be and cholesterol is back within the normal range.
I have gained too much weight in the last year. Not that she brought it up, I had to ask. I kinda love the fact that she knows we have other things to concentrate on first. Still bugs me. I haven't been as active as I'd like to be and I know that is playing a huge part. I see the hematologist tomorrow.
She is having me try Abilify. Anyone else have experience with it?
How the hell did I miss that? It had to be the riding crop, right?
Yes. And the ropes.

You're the bondage expert here. Jilli reached out to her resources, and now I think it's time for you to tap yours.
Good god, he's wearing a collar.
Jesus.
Consuela, this is an incredibly long day for you. I hope it ends soon.
Yes. And the ropes.
So worth mentioning again. When does this movie come out, because I have to put it down in pen.
This is shopped, right? That can't actually happen.
Clearly at some point, probably when I wasn't paying attention, I was a very good girl who deserved nice things.
Thank you.
Good god, he's wearing a collar.
Wait, what? I guess I should look again.
Consuela, I hope your mom gets fixed up and you get out of there soon.
I have been completely sedentary today, because I spent a bunch of it on a plane. And bonus eating of tons of crap! Ah well.
Consuela, this is an incredibly long day for you. I hope it ends soon.
This. I am upset that I can't go cook for you or something to ease some of the burden. But I am in a codeine haze and probably shouldn't drive.

Okay, I started by Googling "BDSM late 1800s," which gave me an Amazon listing for something titled "Classic Images of BDSM (Classic Images of Sex and Erotica)." It's described as "A collection of BDSM images from the late 1800s to the early 1900s."
I am not making the following up and I am providing a link: where it says what customers ultimately bought after viewing that item, it says that 8% bought (or downloaded for free) the Kindle version of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I couldn't make that up if I tried: [link]
Okay, back to research. I'm taking a bullet for alla y'all.

It looks exceedingly well-made (possibly padded) and the D-ring is WAY too shiny. That's my problem with it. I would expect it to be more worn. It's not like Mr. S Leather existed in late 1800s London.
