Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Ugh, that's Jan Wahl's hat, Jilli. Don't get that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ooh, actual bonnets!
Not much shade, but it's deliciously whackdoodle
Serious face shade happening here
Way too expensive, a little blingy, but that is one serious hatpin
eta: one more bonnet, with what looks like tea-stained lace trim
And one more stripey hat, in a sort of wobbly optical-illusion vaguely Burtonesque motif

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Bonnets should come back into fashion. Much better suited, ime, to driving and actually getting things done than a wide-brim sunhat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For the first thirty almost forty years of my life I refused to wear a hat, because obvious oppression. But when you go to the Queen's garden party, hats and gloves are mandatory.
Jilli should probably look away now, because I took a perfectly explicit dress code and decided that a hat without a crown and fingerless lace gloves were as far as I was going to knuckle under to The Man.
It was a wide-brimmed black straw hat with my hair peeking out, with a black and white leopard print scarf tied around it, a white pleated cotton sleeveless shift with matching blazer, and the crappiest looking fingerless lace gloves the 80s could provide.
It was not good.
Oddly, I can't remember what shoes I wore.

I'd forgotten how much I love vicarious eBay shopping.

Because books.
I love hats. I have a lot of hats, actually, although they're mostly men's style. I always forget to wear them, though.

Wanna do some vicarious non-eBay shopping for me? (I hate eBay). I want some clothes that are kinda kickass and cool in the way that a motorcycle jacket, hot jeans, and boots would be. Only able to be worn in summer or in a club. Mostly I want some edgy tops to add to my boring t-shirts in basic colors collection, but shoes or pants/skirts would be contemplated too. I have no idea where to even shop for such things.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
As long as the shoppers are shopping, if y'all run across some pullover summer-weight tops with 3/4 length sleeves, you could throw them at me.
Seems like everything is cap-sleeves and really short sleeves and those stupid flutter sleeves. Or sleeveless. I can't stand my upper arms and need to cover them.
Also, FTR, weight loss now totals 13 pounds since mid-March. Going much more slowly than I wanted it to.
