I don't know, msbelle. I certainly didn't go to my parents with questions. That might not be the best sign of anything significant.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, Jilli. Its from an IO9er who says her store's like ghost town. Doesn't have any borderline pieces I'd get for me, like a jacket or something I could accessorise with.
But I do wish her luck.
And it's time for me to go to bed. Whoa.

Hmmm. Well, speaking as someone vaguely in her target market, I think she needs a couple of "fancy" photos to go with the (good! Clear!) photos. Something showing the outfits worn by a person, with something interesting happening. A lot of Etsy shoppers love the photos that show a scene from a story.
Is she promoting anywhere? Tumblr, the steamfashion comm on LJ, stuff like that?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I was reading teh hot sexxxx scenes at 8 or 9. And my sisterr and I totally looked at my dad's 60's era Playboy (I wish he still had them, actually) and all the girls we hung out with at 10ish found a dumped stash of porn in the woods, and for sure looked at that stuff.
Tongue kissing, the thought of it still grossed me out till I was twelvish.
M is 9, will be ten in May. I got him a great sex ed book this summer and he was all EWWWWW GROSSSS NOOOOO last summer, and I didn't push it; I just...left it in his room. But there will be the Talk this summer, oh yes. There will possibly be a written test.
I talked amych's ear off like a crazy flaily person, and she kept pointing and saying "Fencer! Fencer" CRAZY fencer with a faux European accent!" I will try to show her a better side of KC tomorrow that's not a sports bar. After she kicks some ass! I plan to take pix! Cause that's how I roll -- with a camera and sex ed books!
Er. That came off as more awkward than was meant.
It's been a week since our cable was cut off, and we STILL have teh internets! It's a Chrismanakwanzyulekah miracle!
Much -ma to Matt and family.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh msbelle, that's not the fun part of being a parent, is it? But yeah, if he wants to know about sex, he'll get way better intel from you than from youtube.
sigh. My kids aren't there yet, but I can see it just up around the corner.
Much ~ma to Matt and his family.

I was totally reading books and being intrigued by the sexy bits, earlier than that. But got in trouble for it.
But I clicked through to imdb, and see that TOM FUCKING CRUISE is playing JACK REACHER. WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK
OMG WTF?? SO WRONG.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think it being video is bugging me more than other stuff would. well that and my puritanical upbringing.

I can remember looking at my dad's porn mags, but I have no recollection of how old I was at the time.
I can imagine that video would bug in a particularly visceral way, although when if you think about it logically, videos on youtube would be easier to find than porn mags.

Not that I know of. I'll suggest those to her. If you have any other ideas, I'd be happy to pass them on.
