It needs to be mentioned.

While I think a 500 lb woman in a corset is pointless, I also think a 6', 130 lb woman in a corset is equally pointless.

One looks like a meatball in traction. The other?

A surfboard caught in a net. So there.

Wear stuff that looks good on you, fer crying out loud.

Being in the middle of a Trigun wank and having a "Georgia On My Mind" earworm is not recommended. Methinks there could be a video in this, but I'm not sure. REALLY not sure.

*tries to dislodge earworm*

EK is cooking tonight; so am I. What's for dinner? I've got a pound of fresh okra and I'm not afraid to use it.

Boss brought in strawberries from the farmer's market this afternoon - OOOOOHHH so good.

I have a teeny box of LUSH for the weekend.

And I'm going to start rolling Archangels for spare change.

It's Friday, I just got paid - and OH YEAH - Harry Potter is wearing style 5151 Skechers in the latest movie. Knew he was cool. (You want a pair, ask me. Give me a size - and he's wearing Men's shoes....not boys....)

I've also paid the bills. ph334 me.

This is a Cool Post.

YAY FOR TRIGUN WaNKS! I fucking love that show, and I love Vash and Wolfwood...and Legato Bluesummers. God, I miss Otakon--woops. Did I say that out loud?

I agree that shapeless women look BAD in corsets. Why bother, ne?

What's for dinner? I've got a pound of fresh okra and I'm not afraid to use it.

This line reminded me of a scene in a play I did about two years ago.

Hector and Polyxena are a long-time married couple. Charmion is their daughter. That's all you need to know.

(from A Tale of Two Squires - An SCA Morality)

Scene 3 - The Camp of Sir Hector and Mistress Polyxena - Late Afternoon The Same Day

The scene: a firepit or brazier in center stage; 8-10 chairs ranged around; a table with a cloth on it at stage left.
Mistress Polyxena is sitting to stage right of the firepit, reading what’s probably a newsletter or class handout or
whatever. This is a very orderly camp – nothing glaringly inauthentic is in view. If there is a cooler, it is covered.

(Enter Sir Hector from stage left - he’s carrying a Marshal’s staff. )

Hector: Hi, honey, I’m home! (Hangs his hat on the marshalling staff) What’s for dinner?

Polyxena: Hi yourself – I don’t know, what are you making?

Hector: (grins) Oh, yeah, my turn to cook tonight, so I guess it’s the usual.

Polyxena: Drat, Boeuf Bourguignon again.

Hector: (kisses her on the cheek) I know you hate it, so I’m going to change the recipe and add a pound of okra so you can hate it even more.

Polyxena: Oh, shut up. I like Boeuf Bourguignon just fine – you can STUFF the okra!

Hector: Hmm ... stuffed okra ... There isn’t time for that – but cheer up – there will be lots of dishes for you and Char to do after dinner. (tickles her)

Polyxena: That’s not what I meant ... (giggling and truggling) ...stop it!

(Enter Charmion, with Iras, Damon and Castor entering behind her, from stage left)

Charmion: Yikes! Are you guys TRYING to put me in therapy? (Think of the yogurt commercial from 2001-2002)

Hector: Nothing going on here that a couple of Prozacs and a beer chaser wouldn’t cure.

Polyxena: For her or ME?

Hector: Yes. (they laugh)

Unfortunately, this argument doesn't work on people (either gender) with an inflated self-image. Generally, these people think they look fabulous no matter what, and that if you think they look bad, well, then, you're just a bigot. After all, they're only expressing how they feel inside ...

This is seriously how these people think. -_-

Of course, everyone is entitled to their delusions these days ... just check out the Intarweb!

There is a fellow who goes to Archon in St. Louis every year wearing the same dirty bedsheet toga. He weighs in at about 350-400 lbs... *Beefcake, BEEFCAKE!!!*

Scary, real scary!

I also have to wonder what would be considered to "look good" on either of those two extremes? The tall, very thin woman has it easier, as her body shape is in fashion these days and she can probably get away with anything soft and drapey. But my observations have indicated that Very Large Women are generally considered to look Absolutely Awful no matter what they're wearing. And then the conclusion that they look Absolutely Awful is taken as an excuse to snark at them for "not knowing how to dress becomingly", when the truth of the matter is that they're trapped in a no-win scenario.

Actually? Go check out the Hawaiians during Merrie Monarch.

TELL me big women aren't gorgeous.

I have been looking for a song to fit the Wolfwood tribute I have had in my head ever since the series first came out on DVD over here. I know I haven't found the right song yet. I just can't seem to capture the right kind of melancholy optimism I am looking for. Paul Simon's "It's Been a Long, Long Day" is close. REAL close. But it's not quite what I want. Perhaps the song I want hasn't been written yet. If that's the case, I think I want Common Rotation to write it. (Download their song, "Offstage Lines" to get a good idea of their sound.)
