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?

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.

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 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.

Cruise needs to suck it up, play Napoleon in a bio pic, and work through his issues once and for all.

I think I was 12 before I started looking for the porn. I was a slow starter. Pretty sure I made up for lost time once I did start, though. In my case it was a friend and I finding her dad's stash of dirty novels.
