Spike ,'Never Leave Me'


Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What did you decide to wear, Jess?!? And what did you do with your hair, anything? It's pretty rock chic on the daily...

I decided against the leather corset in the end because I really only have RenFair skirts to go with it. (I tried it with jeans and it created this very unflattering effect where the corset's waistline was like 8 inches above where the jeans' waistline was, and the only tunic length shirts I have that would have fixed that are long sleeved. ) So I went with a black shirt that's got a low sweetheart neckline and then the top half is mesh. I left my hair alone so I wouldn't have to sleep with product in it or take a shower at midnight when I got home.

Many people were decked out in their goth club best, I prioritized being comfortable on the hourlong train ride to and from the city because I am older than I am cool by several decades.

The one time I wore a fancy-pants wig on a big-budget production I could not feel it on my head. It probably cost more than my head.

Our wings are not tired.

Being comfortable is a reasonable priority. Makes for a more enjoyable event.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sounds like good choices! And you looked good on FB

Shame about the leather corset but I 100% understand the issue of matching it to some appropriate bottom! I hate when I have a cool top or bottom but not the right piece to match it because the pants or shirts I have the waistline is too low or too high!!

I really miss having blue hair but I do not want to bleach my hair for it because that caused such damage. Sigh. Trade offs.

Once again, I failed to turn the world on with my dials. I remember when that used to feel super-important. Wow, I guess I have a real working life after all. Yay? (Except, since it feels like I do everything backwards maybe I'll have a retirement filled with commutes and front-office intrigue...pretty bad that I'm bored enough to kind of anticipate that, right?)

I feel like 7pm on a Tuesday can be punk, but can't be glam.

I think events starting at 7pm on a Tuesday have a potential “damn the man, my boss won’t see me Wednesday morning” aspect that makes them potentially punk. But yeah, nsm glam.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Hey, All!

I was all excited to see so many posts in Bitches! As so many others have stated, there was a time when Bitches was my world because I just couldn't keep up with Natter.

So if anyone was wondering, I am still amongst the living, and the Buffistas. I'm just having a hard time keeping up again/still.

I am older than I am cool by several decades.

Truer words, man...

To start the birthday pre-celebrations in Bitches: Tuesday the 23rd is the birthday of the wondrous Steph! Which means that Sunday the 21st is the birthday of the wondrous ME!!!!!!!

This was the other problem - I'm on Pacific time and usually don't have free time for posting until the afternoon. So by the time I post something, you guys are all at dinner or commuting home or whatever so no one responds and I feel so unloved. :(
