You'll get to see it!

Ahahah! Making up for that question, eh?

eta: that was for lisah.

Something either bit me or.... I dunno. I've got this blister sorta on the side of my flipoff finger. Appeared after raking leaves. Not in a rubby place, so has to be contact with something. Which is a little unnerving, but it doesn't hurt or itch. I kinda want to pop it, but will wait to see if it happens accidentally.

If I had the legs for it anymore, I'd wear whatever showed them off and to hell with fashion pundits. Carpe diem, mang.

Oh, and I expect it will look much better on your figure than on the model, too, sara.

I've got great legs, I'll wear whatever the hell I want, ptooui. That said, I don't tend to miniskirts for work anymore (I used to) and have little occasion to wear them otherwise, but that's just personal (life) style. Though I'm leggy enough (height is all in my legs) that even skirts that would hit most just above the knee hit me several inches further up, so that might be considered a mini to some.

Aw, thanks. It does wear differently. A little more glam, I think. With my shoulders and collarbones (and chestage,) I LOVE sweetheart necklines. They are so flattering.

I love a short skirt. A definite miniskirt. Skirts that fall higher than my fingertips when my arms are at my sides. Thick tights and boots. That's one of my default modes of dress. Friend in Vancouver pointed out I wasn't technically supposed to do that, as she handed me an exceptionally short skirt while we were shopping. And then we both went right on not caring.

But it would seem weird for them to be banning the right above the knee skirt. That seems "polite".

I had a grey wool mini that I loved to pair with black tights, knee high boots and a boatneck goodwill-find greyblue wool sweater that was boxy, but curvy, if that makes sense. Sadly, wool often drives me batshit, and I'm pretty sure I purged that outfit when I gained weight. It'd fit now!

Still wouldn't wear it to work, though. When I did, was disconcerted by a few men staring too long at my legs. Damnit. I even let up on the knee high boots after a now former big boss commented on them. Coming from women coworkers is one thing. Mega bosses? A little weird. Prefer them to know me for my work (this plan is coming along nicely. Currently share a smoke-break with a bigwig, fill him in on the deets, uncensored, and he's pretty damned encouraging.)

That's lovely, sara! What's it for?

Dana, I'm sorry the universe dumped so much crap on you. I hope you can go home to some rest and good food and good company.

We're having modern family life tonight. Ben's on the couch next to me, with headphones on and browsing YouTube, S. is on the other couch reading, and I'm watching a NetFlixed movie and writing fic on the laptop while I do.

For the record, I LOVE short skirts (not micro, not on me), but I loathe my knees, so I don't wear them often.

My ambassador to Baltimore's wedding:) One of our own. Now I have to figure out which shoes. I've got several candidates.

Gorgeous dress, Sarameg.

We're going to get lots of pictures, right?
