I think the bustle would kind of balance the bulk of the pockets. It seems to in the pictures.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

The Mall has the largest concentration of Smithsonian museums.
OK, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. But between Natural History, Air & Space, the American Art Museum(Art of Video Games!) plus Madam Tussaud's and the Spy Museum, I think my 2 days are going to be well-filled.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They all look like toolbelts crossed with fanny packs to me.

Yeah, I've liked those sorts of pocket belts, but figure it would make me look even more pear shaped than I am. But I could see Jilli pulling it off. Jilli, if you want more subtle (or leather) ones, Mishu (I think that's the place? In Fremont and on Broadway) has tons.

Because books.
Jilli, maybe a slimmer belt with a drawstring pocket/pouch hanging from it?

Yeah, Mishu! I should go try on the ones they've got.

That's what my current solution is. I've got a cute little velvet purse on a ribbon belt that I wear around my skirts if whatever else I'm wearing doesn't have pockets.

I kinda like the bustle version of that pocket belt, not that I'd necessarily wear it but I think Jilli could pull it off. But I'd like to see a more 80s/punk rock version made with a wide leather belt. Or the hippie/flower child version, made with a silk purse and a macrame belt! Either of those I could easily incorporate into my wardrobe.

I find more and more that I really don't want to sit on my stuff, or risk bumping it against the doorframe when I'm stepping aside to let someone through--I'm more okay stabbing myself with stuff in the lower abdomen when I sit down, but by and large, it's a small knapsack or a large knapsack for me.
I know there's no stats behind feeling safer from being robbed, but I do have that low level paranoia too, with back pockets especially.
Thinking that the message on my phone was probably just the doctor's office calling about my appointments next week, I stepped up (such a grownup!) and listened--but no. It's a call from Krav Maga Worldwide, and they owe me money??? I cannot imagine how badly their books must be kept. I got a paycheque from them a full year plus after I last taught there--not a big one, but, like, $80. Now it's 3, 4, years later, and they found more?

Hey, remember the noisy, entitled neighbor I griped about back at the start of the year? Yesterday I had an interview with an FBI agent doing a background check on her for a security clearance.
mwah-ha-ha!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My folks are here for the weekend. (I got to go home early today. Whee.) Don't know what we're going to do with them, sight-seeingwise. (It'd be nice if we could revisit a museum we've been to before, since there are new exhibits all the time, but noooo.)
