I would like to go to bed, but someone who was supposed to be home at 9 from a movie with friends is not home and not answering texts.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Just a quick note to say how much I appreciate this place and you all and thank you for being my family.
Also I have had a fair bit of wine because of the above and I am trying to figure out what to wear to a hugo (an hugo? this is an important question for buffistae)
And it is necessary to tell the corset story now, which ... well ok dragoncon with a bff
and we go to try on corsets because I have always wanted one.
And they lace me up and I have a panic because it feels exactly like the Unpleasant Brace I wore for three years.
but bff is there and she's a superhero so I cannot let on I am having a panic. So I buy the corset and the jacket to go with and none of it I can afford, and we swan out.
And I do not wear this again until I confess all my weaknesses to a friend a year later and she figures out a way to lace it that 1. doesn't feel like Unpleasant Brace and 2. that I can take on and off myself.
And, readers, I had the best time. Also I found a hat [link]
Good hat. Good.
"Corset and the jacket to go with it" -- do you remember which company it was? Was it possibly Damsel in this Dress?
Child has been located. And now I rage.
I'm sorry msbelle.
That's a great story and an excellent hat (and entire look!)
ugh, msbelle!
argh, mac. stop with the bad behavior!
That is an awesome hat, hippo!
argh Mac. Hugs, Msbelle
Mac! Stop with the being difficult. Don't make me find the time to fly out, keep msbelle company, and terrify you with my goth powers.
hippocampus, I just sent you an email full of links. Relatedly, I now want some sparkly dresses I found on Amazon.
