OMG, I just went into a meeting with the publisher of the major free weekly newspaper here... I thought he might offer me the opportunity to write an occasional column in the print or online version, but HE OFFERED ME A COVER STORY about beer/new breweries in the city and state. I was stunned, and tried to play it cool, like this happens to me ALL THE TIME. ALL THE TIME I'M OFFERED THE CHANCE TO WRITE A COVER STORY FOR A MAJOR NEWS SOURCE.
The publisher said he loved my voice and writing style and the fact that I wouldn't need much copyediting.
In conclusion: OMGWTFBBQ POLAR BEARS COOLCOOLCOOL.
I have to be cool, though, so the other major paper in town doesn't scoop the idea a week ahead of time. So, BE COOL GUYS! Wait, it's me that's out of my mind with ALL THE FEELINGS. Sorry 'bout that.
Vortex, check out Timeless Trends. Their price range is about $100 for underbust. (I've heard Corset Story isn't great when it comes to shipping and returns, but I've never bought from them, so I don't know.)

I have a Timeless Trends underbust, and it's well-made for an off-the rack corset. It has real steel bones, rather than plastic, which is fantastic. My experience is that their corsets are the best fit on women who have a traditional hourglass shape (or thereabouts), because they're off-the-rack and cut to one body shape (more or less).

Oh Lord, I want this silver and black one: [link] I have no business looking at corsets right now.
Nora, that is SO COOL HELLS YEAH!

I should be able to tell you in about a month - I just bought one (extremely on sale, down from $97 to $29, so I figure that if a problem happens I'm at least not out a heart attack's worth of money).
Steph got there before me! Timeless trends is where my corsets are from.
Awesomecakes drizzled with awesomesauce with a tall glass of microbrewed pure awesome to wash it down, Nora!
