That's slightly over a yard of heavy-spandex content polyester sewn into a tube
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.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have some sort of thing called a jaguar bagless. I dig it fine, except you can see the thing filling up and it makes me look at Ruby and say, "Will you STOP SHEDDING?"
Also, cleaning it is a bit messy. the filter is just of the yuck.

American Indian population: 14
Asian population: 190
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander population: 1
Some other race population: 20

It's easy for me to convince myself that no one I know would kill me.
I'm sure some have had the urge, but as long as I stay on the good sides of ita and my buddy Mark I'm reasonably confident of having better than even odds if it comes to that.
