aww, don't be sad! Clubs are for uptight bitches *glares* and wannabe thugs. Come play left 4 dead 2 with me instead of wasting your energy envying those losers. *furtively shoots a jealous look at Rosetta*

What the hell did I do?

*sits on her tuffet, all alone, eating her curds and tear-stained whey*

OMG That was my costume! Everyone just called me a milk maid, but that was what it really was!

Corsets are ******** EXPENSIVE! D<

I want one just to make my rib cage a little smaller.

I looked ridiculously sexy in my costume. Normally I dress in a more innocently cute manner, but my god, I looked like a friggin' Playboy playmate in that thing. It was so weird! I sooo wasn't used to dressing so provocatively. The skirt was so short I kept worrying people could see my panties. My gays kept grabbing my boobs and pinching my butt to tease me.

I WISH WE COULD'VE GONE TOGETHER SYN! crying

Too bad you live all the way in California with AH-nold and Disneyland.

It depends on where you get them. There are some very lovely ones that shape nicely, but only cost 75-120 dollars. The more extreme ones tend to cost more, but again, it's just where you buy from. I wouldn't buy and extreme one anyway, as they are ridiculous.

Oh, but the more feminine ones yeah, I guess they can get pricey.

She missed the part where she threw gratuitous attacks at someone who's not even involved in this thread right after I blocked her.

Also, revisionism is revisionist. But whatever, it's not like I was expecting something else.

I don't know who you're talking about, but I'll add another line of you bitching next time this happens smile

Good to know she's still obsessing over me.

Sorry if this has been asked; this thread is looooooooong.

What is the proper way to refer to a transgender person's gender?

Example: Bob is born male but dresses like female; do I say Bob is a he or do I say Bob is a she?

I'm seriously not trying to offend, I just would like to know so I can be respectful if I come across this social situation.

If you're looking to not offend, best bet is to go by current presentation unless informed otherwise. EG: if Bob is dressed as a woman, go with "she." But if you encounter Bob while Bob is dressed as a man, go with "he."

...

Okay, uptight conservatives who reject transgender identities might be offended by that. But I'm assuming that's not who you're worried about offending.

Corsets are ******** EXPENSIVE! D<

Good ones are, yeah. You can get relatively cheap off-the-rack stuff at a lingerie shop, but it's no good for extended wear. And...

Rosetta Celestine

I want one just to make my rib cage a little smaller.

...for this you want not just a quality custom job, but one rated for tightlacing. That's gonna cost a bit. If you're looking online, Meschantes on ebay aren't bad, runs around $180 though. Wasp Creations used to be highly recommended as well, but I haven't seen them around for a bit.

Better is if you've got someone local who'll do a personal fitting.

It is generally polite to use the pronouns that go with how they identify and/or present. In the example above, it should be she.

Also, I don't know what the ******** happened in the last 30 pages and I don't wanna know. Hey Rosetta, let's go clubbing while the dust settles. Brb getting eyeliner and low cut shirt.

*Gets her sparkly lip gloss and short short skirt.*

*realizes he wasn't invited*

OMG Syn, you are so coming with us! We're all gonna get along if it kills me dammit!

Which reminds me, for Halloween I went to a Rocky Horror Picture-Show! I went with my gays and it was so much fun. I was dressed as a slutty milk maid.

I wanna go to RHPS so bad.

In my hooker boots.
And purple/black striped stockings with garter belt.
And crotchless fishnets over that.
And purple man thong.
And a corset.
And fingerless gloves.
And elaborate make up.
Maybe a wig, because my natural hair sucks. But maybe by then I'll have it dyed.

******** yeah.

I actually love the stockings/nets/garter/man thong/hooker boots combination so much I might take pix. Don't have a corset though. :[

Totally. There's this vintage lingere store up in northern California (omfg I miss it so much) and they had a lot of corsettes and they had good prices but they were still pretty expensive. Spent a lot more money on hooker boots, though, lol.

Do you have any pix? <3 Lol.

It would have been fun to go with you, I'm sure. :D

Stupid California, lol...
