Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you mouse over the boxes below the Hide&Seek picture, it shows you the slip.

Honestly, it looks like it'd solve some of my transparency problems right quick. But are there others that can do the same thing for less?

I'm staring obsessively at spanx.com. Are there really slips worth $72?

Not those. That's slightly over a yard of heavy-spandex content polyester sewn into a tube; I can probably make the same thing for under $20.

It looks like there's some shaping done in the torso, though. If there's enough release that you can go braless in it without being a monoboob -- it interests me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I was very upset to not be able to find a plain modal or cotton slip this past weekend.

Sweet Zombie Jesus! these are, as near as I can tell, bike shorts that aren't hemmed. Oh, excuse me, no hem means "With the no-leg-band design, there will be no tell-tale leg bulges. "

What was the eye-rolling to infinity thing, again? I need to use it.

It didn't look like it to me. Huh. Now I'm going to have to go to Nordstrom and take a look at one. And then roll my eyes a lot, again.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

While we are getting shopping opinions... I need a new vacuum. There was a tragic accident. I think I am swayed towards a bagless model. Anyone like or loathe theirs?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The American things I have serious trouble getting are fizzy drinks.

Come to San Francisco and I'll take you to Yum. They have 300 different fizzy drinks from all around the world. Emmett and I just went there over the weekend and loaded up on Bennett's Lemon Cola and Cheerwine and Hanks Cream Soda and Virgil's Root Beer and a ginger ale that promises to scald my mouth with its gingeriness.
