Or be like me and wear your newest and most uncomfortable thing all the way to Camden, through several hours shopping and half the way home again. I wore my very first steel boned corset for a very memorable shopping trip - I was completely unused to anything resembling tightlacing. I actually got the vapours like someone out of a Jane Austen novel on the tube and since we didn't have any smelling salts, PA had to loosen my stays - with half the train staring at me in amazement. It was a bizarre experience. Mind you, after wearing it all day like that, it was nicely broken in and come the next time I put it on I was able to spend about 6 hours straight, most of them spent dancing vigorously, without even noticing any discomfort at all. Call it a crash course in learning to ignore pain LOL

I've had problems getting past the home page on my computer at work but thoughgt it was the govts way of making sure i wasn't wasting tax payers money and actually doing some work for a change hehehehehe. fab idea for a theme if only I could remeber the site I found some fantastic wings -damn the dementia!!!!!!!!! No it's a problem with some part of the code; we think it might only happen on PC's that use internet explorer 6 or older. I've given up trying to work it out and gone crying to Hilde to fix it; she doesn't know why it doesn't work either (especially since on my work computer I can see the links on the home and contact pages but not the rest of them, but as far as we know all the pages have the same code so should all behave the same. Very weird). However, she's trying to work it out so cross your fingers everyone. I made mine from coat hanger wire and stockings. Fun but a bit of a pain as coathangers are a little hard to bend without snapping and of course they're a set size so I couldn't do anything large. I will probably have to make some more for my new costume as Lilith is always pictured with wings, but they'll have to be more complicated than last time as a demon goddess is rather more ambitious than a burlesue fairy! I've been talking to a wire manufacturer about the best guage wire to buy for the sort of thing I have planned!!

Lol, see I know what Im talking about when it comes to corsets, I was bound to get you hooked.... expensive habit Ive found though Curse you, evil girl. Mind you I have no shame and will happily buy some cheapo ones if necessary to sustain my new habit... just keep the proper ones for special occasions like the ball I really thought you were some kind of sadist though when you told me they'd get easier once you broke them in. I was like, yeah and my arse is a hairy pumpkin, no way is this ever going to be bearable unless I suddenly lose the ability to feel pain! I had visions of having to wear the thing about 40 times before it didn't hurt any more but the very next time I wore it the difference was amazing.

Damn, I forgot to wear my wings last night...but I felt it was time to wear my batshirt, with the scalloped collar and bottom edges and lacing up the back (thanks Twisted Kitty for cinching me in!)
I didn consider making a pair of wings but knew it would involve, coathangers, tights and much swearing, so I gave in and bought mine. You're a braver girl than me, Acquiescence!

I don't know about brave... stupid sounds more accurate. Especially since I've already made one lot, and know what a faff it's likely to be, and am now planning something even more complicated than tights and coathangers. I was planning not to bother with wings this time round, till I did my research and found that Lilith is almost always pictured with wings and so I can't really leave that part out! Darn it. LOL ~A (who would like to shoot whoever's bright idea it was to put those opaque bits on the toe of stockings and tights, thus rendering them a huge pain in the arse for future wing makers everywhere)
