I'm sorry, msbelle. Hope you can find something soon.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Awww, fuck 'em, msbelle!
Bad timing though. I'm sorry. That really sucks hard.
However, I would like to emphasize: Fuck them!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ah, jeez, msbelle. Hope you find just the right thing for you.

Do you think people (mis)use "Victorian" as a synonym for "fancy, especially fancy with lace and/or ruffles and sort of old-fashioned looking and maybe poofy"? I'm starting to think that's the reasoning behind the misuse.
Yes. I know I'm guilty of misusing the term sometimes, but I usually try to say "Victorian-inspired".
Argh! I'm very sorry, msbelle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmmph. Sorry, msbelle. Jobma.
I wonder if I'll have time to read the "making it" article before the consultants come back. I have no idea where they went. I hope they're not lost.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, msbelle.

I'm sorry, msbelle.
Victorian is not the only era so abused, although it's probably the most frequent. I spend a lot of time on eBay saying, "No, it's not" to the description.
I was volunteering on a home tour, and the owners had descriptions of all the furniture, including a secretary that had been in his family "for generations," which was certainly possible if he meant two to three generations. It was a '30s reproduction.

Sorry to hear the news, msbelle! What crappy timing.
