The discussion of clothes gives me an excuse to bring up "roaring girls" something I don't we've discussed here, but seems to me a very Buffista topic. Pdf: [link] . The plays apparently were based on a real phenomena, women who dressed in mens clothes and drank and brawled. According to the link "roaring" was a gendered term, applied to men, so a roaring girl was very definitely cross dressing and assuming a role usually reserved for rowdy young men, for "roaring boys".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Did you see this article about olden-tymey undergarments (and etc.), which includes talk of the roaring girls? It's FASCINATING. [link]

Yeah it was interesting. Where I heard about the roaring girls, but I actually found the roaring girls more interesting than the article about underwear.

My BFF just made an Angry Birds cake. She made the birds out of fondant. It was pretty impressive.
