No, no, not this (http://www.rockyarchive.org/img/rhpsphotosbw/RHPS-RH18-TimeWarpTransylvaniansL.jpg) Time Warp, or this one (http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/images/cd/large/Time_Warp_CD80106.jpg), or this one (http://www.time-warp.de/e4/e447/index_ger.html), either.
But it's astounding how time is fleeting, and madness takes its toll. This is the thread where we all dress up like it's a really long time ago!
I'll start:
(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/calenlass/DSCF00202.jpg)
Also we do not care about historical accuracy. It's the intentions that count. And the dressing up. Just Do It, ok?
-
I have the perfect dress for this.
-
Aww. I thought this was gonna be a thread where we all look back over picture threads from days of yore and remember how cute we used to be.
-
You're still cute in my eyes, Harry.
-
I'm still cute in my eyes too, James.
-
Harry: feel free to hijack the thread. After you post a picture in tails and a tophat, k.
-
damn, I really wanted to take a jump to the left followed by a step to the right
-
Sam, I actually have a fat gold rope at home...
Anyways, here's my effort for the thread! I tried to do a few other pictures all sexy as well, but it just doesn't work for me.
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2148/1538268205_5c4df696b6.jpg?v=0)
-
This is a superb effort.
-
Aww, thanks. That's pretty much all I have for old-fashioned looking stuff, so I'm glad it works together.
-
I will definitely try something tomorrow.
-
After you post a picture in tails and a tophat
I went to my year 12 formal (what you'd call a "prom" in America) wearing my grandfather's tails. Unfortunately I no longer have them (they were being shared between three grandsons; I have no idea who's in possession of them now).
-
Things that will help you be convincing!:
HATS like bowlers or fedoras or newsies are good. Cloches would be awesome if you got 'em, ladies.
POLKA-DOTS especially on adorable dresses like Misconception's
VESTS of the three-piece suit variety, especially when paired with ASCOTS
SHOULDER PADS but don't go overboard or you will end up looking like you are from the 80s. Which is ok, I guess, if you meant to do it.
Harry: :(
-
Also, a few more things that I thought of.
Ladies: peep-toed shoes, shoes with cute little bows, cinched/belted waistbands, bold lipstick.
Dudes: shiny shoes, those funny little armbands they put over dress shirts.
-
ducktails and pincurls
-
Is drag acceptable? Cause I definitely have more access to old school womens clothing than mens stuff.
-
Drag is always acceptable
-
what about naked
-
Only if you have old-fashioned genitalia.
-
I am getting so many ideas for this. SO MANY IDEAS. I will have to wait until tomorrow though, or sometime over the weekend.
-
Only if you have old-fashioned genitalia.
WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN
-
Probably something a bit like your avatar.
-
No it means small, look at all the Greek statues of Gods, small was in in the olden days.
-
Man, all I have in the "vintage" get up is a throwback Bruins sweater. =/
-
See, this is doubly time-warping, cause I'm using an old photo of an older dress;)
The fab 50's dress!

-
i am so up for this! i wish i was not at work, but at home so i could start taking pictures now. i also wish i was born in the late 1930's, but that's another story.
PS where is jen???
-
I'm playing the homme fatale in my friends final project for film noir. There will be pictures.
-
I figure it's just a matter of time before someone grabs a leaf and puts up a picture Adam and Eve style.
-
Well now they will, since you've put the idea into their minds. Crafty little devil.
-
He just wants to see people naked.
...
Good thinking.
-
Yes, hence myself calling him a crafty little devil.
More time warping, people! Let's see those old-fashioned get-ups!
-
Only if you have old-fashioned genitalia.
WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN
It means you can only wear leaves over your privates. Or be classily concealed by branches and careful sitting.
-
Or cherubs carrying a banner.
-
can't wait for yall to go to the diner and a drive in movie
-
heres me as a pirate, pirates are from a really long time ago:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v361/Unosuke/uno2.jpg)
also, how about someone dress up like they're from the future.
-
Body paint and cloth is pretty much from the past, right?
(http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l6/joe-gia/TigersSitting.jpg?t=1192154755)
-
Man, this stuff is back from the days when Turkey still had an ambassador in the United States!
-
Dark Flame, I could swear you're at Nambassa.
-
Where was this? I mean, what kind of event are you sitting calmly in a chair with body paint and assumed exposed genitalia for? MY CURIOSITY KNOWS BOUNDS!
-
It wasn't actually exposed. There was underwear. But there was a lot of upper thigh. So I thought best to censor a tad. Also for humour value.
This was at a talent night performance thingy for the staff at the summer camp/retreat centre sort of place I worked at this summer. It was just the staff in attendance, and things got rather silly. Here's a picture of the performance this costume was for.
(http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sctm/v117/171/68/502702842/n502702842_108924_351.jpg)
It should have been nearly pitch black at this point, but the camera flash ruined that.
-
You look angry, are you angry?

We were covering 'We Tigers' by Animal Collective.

These are oldies, but I think that fits with the theme kinda...
EDIT: Oh damn, I forgot that these photos were supposed to look like we actually are back in time. If someone could you know add a sepia filter and edit the camera, road cone and iron into something period accurate that would be cool, otherwise use your imaginations!
-
Kat:
Kat
Kaaaaat
(I love that dress. You are so cute. Stop that no fair.)
-
Guys, don't turn this into a plain old photo thread else I'll just lock it on account of people not being dressed up period like.
-
How am I not dressed up period-like?
-
I do not know. That is precisely why I love that dress. (The silhouette is also fantastic on you. hguahgluahbluahg)

i am not so good at this photoshop thing which is why i had given up by that last one. also i have 5 pairs of classic/vintage-looking pumps but not nearly enough 50's clothing :(
edit: i think i deserve some congratulations for managing to get some curl into my hair with The Worst Curling Iron Ever and The Straightest Hair In The World. (seriously, an hour after i took these photos i asked my roommate if my hair was curly in the back and she replied with "um... your hair is not curly at all.")
-
well i think it looks great and i'd like to watch I Love Lucy with you sometime.
-
How am I not dressed up period-like?
You are, I'm referring to the folks dressed up in body paint or like Hunter S Thompson.
-
What periods are acceptable then?
-
Hunter S Thompson isn't really a period.
Neither is body paint and hollering and drums.
-
The iron age? (I'm stretching, I know.)
-
Hey it got me a free drink at a Time Warp night in a club.
-
I'm not really in the mood for this.
In the context that Katie is using: a portion of time in a civilization, culture, or nation characterized by the same prevalent features or conditions, e.g. The Victorian Era, Medieval Period.
or
Period Piece: In the performing arts, a period piece is a work set in a particular era.
I don't think you understand the genre.

MaiAda makes things pop, that's for dang sure.

Actually I thought the caveman thing was kind of funny.

man I would so hit that, 1840s styley.
all on a steamboat. on a lake.
maybe get huck finn in for a threesome.

(To be historically accurate you can't wear underwear.)
-
I time warped again. This time I couldn't think of a good pose, but oh well.

This seems really agressive and angry, considering the issue.

I had not had coffee in a week when I wrote that post and you expect me to be civil anywhere?
I stand by my original sentiments.
-
When I was half-asleep I realised that this thread could work just as well if it was just one of the regular "themes" in the photo thread.
Then I thought, "But Harry, if you suggest that then you might hurt Katie's feelings!"
Then I thought, "Surely now I have to put my new modly duties before any friendships."
That was when I had the sad realisation that I'd become The Man.
-
Guys my fine arts major friend just had me and a friend model for a photoshoot. If this thread gets locked before I get to post, I will be mad.
(or you could just make me a mod too and I could post after it's locked!)
-
Tommy you are banned. Because I am a mod and am unhappy. Unhappy with you.

If only it worked like that. I'd ban everyone except Casey, and then ban myself in a fit of self-loathing.
Anyway, Kiff of all people has no right to call anyone out regarding civility.
-
If this is the extent of thread drama 'round these parts, I am happy.

More pictures please ladies and gents! I was enjoying them.

I wanted to have more photos, but my friend was doing them for a project and I can't post many. Here is one!

Bitch where's my tommy gun?

Seriously, guys, this is not a derailment that is amusing at all.
(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/calenlass/GEEKY%20THINGS/Reenactments/DSCF0005.jpg)
I was thinking about putting white stockings with this (and some garters, of course) and wearing it to a con. Is this a good idea?
Edit: Slick fuck yes. Damn that is good.
-
I haven't had access to a camera for the past few days, so, as predicted, the closest I could get is drag photos from last Halloween.
Does "faux Warhol superstar" count?

To photo thread with you!

Ballard you look like if I had a child with Ross Noble.
Jus' sayin'

Man I wasn't calling you out! I was just shocked that a fine gent such as yourself, who is usually so level headed and delicate in your dealings with others, was getting snappy over such a little thing!
-
I just GISed Ross Noble.. oy.

Why do you even have these things?
-
People from Georgia secretly still dress like it's 1864.
They don't like to let people know they're still stuck in the civil war era
-
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that Katie's figurative boner bulges for:
1. Retro stuff.
2. Pirates.
3. Leather.
Also, she is the reigning grab-ass champion.

This just needed to be posted again.
-
What about 80s? Would 80s count?
-
80s count, but only if you dress up in a manner such that you are immistakably from such era. It helps if you want to contribute so badly that you actually take pictures for the thread.
-
it was really weird scrolling down and seeing my same post twice. i was all "WHY IS THE PAGE STARTING OVER?"
oh and i guess i'll post a picture here later. stay tuned!

Dudes: shiny shoes, those funny little armbands they put over dress shirts.
If there is anything I will wear to post in this thread, it will have nothing to do with armbands. I don't know why but maybe this has something to do with it:
(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/4825/hi04005yb4.jpg)
-
That's not what I was referring to. In the 1910s and 1920s they used to wear stretchy little armband things right above the elbow- they kinda looked like garters. No swastikas involved.
-
Shirtsleeves.
-
Are you referring to this?

Shirtsleeves.
I was going to post this but then decided not enough people would know what it was.
git outta ma head, Charles
-
Yes. Thank you.
-
Hm, I've never seen those before. They actually look kindof cool, heh.
-
Well, as long as you no longer think I'm promoting Hitler, everything is okie dokie.
-
(Hitler would technically qualify for this thread, though.)
-
I suppose so, but if anyone has a Hitler costume just lying around I might be a little worried.
-
It's not 'lying around', I get fairly regular use out of it.
-
I think calling Godwin's Law on this would be justified. The Nazis weren't the only folks to have ever used arm bands. For example, black armbands were worn to protest the Vietnam War. There was a Supreme Court case (Tinker v. Des Moines) over it because the Des Moines school district was suspending students who wore them.
-
I had to memorize that case for Government class!
-
I have a black armband. There's very little point in me wearing it though because I only wear black anyway. I failed at taking pictures this weekend as well.
-
Soon as I get my vest from eBay I'll take pictures of me wearing it with one of my button-up shirts. It's very '60s "mod" or whatever.

This thread is awesome, therefore I refuse to let it disappear.
Here is the dress I bought yesterday. I am in love!

That is a beautiful dress Misconception! What color are the flowers? They look like they would be red, like poppies.
-
They're green, actually.
That is the dress that will become my Halloween costume. I'm going to wear a black sweater with it, along with this ridiculous hat I found at Burlington Coat Factory for $5.
-
I am officially jealous. Green is my favorite color. You'll be posting pictures after Halloween yes?
-
I shall do my best.

Jesus dude way to fucking necro.
-
Thank you.
-
But of all the threads to necro post in, he did pick a pretty awesome one. Therefore, people- more time warping!
-
i am glad he necro'd this thread! i wanted to post in here again but i felt stupid bringing it back from the dead. now i have an excuse to post more pictures, yaaay
-
No I actually meant it in the best way possible. Like, "Woah I am surprised this is alive. Thank you for reviving an awesome thread. Don't do it again."
-
Kind of a creepy way to do it, eh, but who's complaining.
-
Em's probably not complaining, knowing her. She's cute, she knows she's cute, and she is a huge attention whore.
I should pester Catherine and see if she's still got the Patrick-in-all-leather photo. That is James Dean like a motherfucker.
-
Actually, I suppose it was I who was complaining all along.
How awkward.
-
¬_¬
"Attention whore"??

Now I don't want to post anymore...
But...
I have such a marvellous pictar...

-
Shame I gave my fake leather jacket away, but it didn't really suit me (it was a bit too big) anyway.
-
Reminds me, I bought a leather jacket at the salvation army a couple weekends passed... It had a painting of a partially-nude Native-American raising a tomahawk into the moon on the back of it. I think he was in a canoe too. It was one of the best jackets ever, despite the fact that it was about 1 size too small for me.
I can't find it today though. I brought it to a friend's house on New Year's Eve and I think I left it there.

I'd post a picture, but he's on it, so he'd kill me.

You can black his face out with scribbles in MS Paint.
-
Man Katie, you have amazing legs. And those SHOES.

I know, they are the best fucking shoes ever.
The ridiculous part is that I wore them around for like 3 hours and they do not hurt my feet at all! WTF!

Yeah, I did a very brief modeling stint for a vintage store my freshman year of college. I am, however, about 60 or 70% of the time, wearing vintage anyway. And then there are the moments that are pretty inexplicable:

That is an awesome skirt.

Thanks! It's SPARKLY
Unfortunately it is 30 degrees and snowing here for the next who knows how long, and thus I cannot wear it:(
-
I've always wanted to dress up like a 1920's Chicagoland Gangster.
Unfortunately, getting a real, good, high-quality trench-coat, scarf and fedora is rather expensive (I have the other components already.)
-
On eBay, you could get all three items for under $30 total, not including S&H. I think this is a cop-out. If I could fulfill life-long dreams for less than $30, I'd do it.
-
On that note, I've always wanted to dress up as Inigo Montoya or create a stage outfit based off him.
My problem is, I cannot find frilly shirts anywhere, not even on eBay, that don't come with sketchy looking leisure suits or stupid low-quality Halloween pirate costumes.
Brown leather pants are also difficult to get a hold of.
-
That reminds me! Like a year ago, katie said she was going to make me a poofy shirt! You should get on that, katie.

I wish Grandpa still had his Army uniform when he died. He was in the Army Air Corps from '42 to '47 and HOOOOLY FUCK those uniforms are gorgeous.

I actually have my grandpa's old Marine uniform, including the sword. It's a little too big, but I still throw it on every great once in awhile.

True, but I'm just not big on the whole thing of wearing clothes that some random person on the other side of the country has sweat in, stunk up and done god knows what in it or to it. I'm also a little on the short side (5'6") so it's hard to find something like a trenchcoat that's a good, comfortable fit. It's also not a "dream," it's just something that I've always thought would be cool.
-
5'6" is not short, fuck you.

FUCKING MIDGETS

Katie aren't you 5'3? (short chicks are better than tall ones anyway)

<----is a kinda tall chick :(:(

I think what switty's getting at manda is that he hates you.

I have no complaints in regards to how you look, and I never said tall chicks are bad. But you're getting married anyway so go cry to your husband about it.

I thought you were short.
SORRY KATIE I DID NOT REALIZE THAT 5'5.5 IS SUPER TALLER THAN 5'3 I AM SORRY I WAS WRONG GUYS.

2 and a half inches can make a HUGE difference, ya know.

DONGS LOL

Awww man... I wasn't even trying to be dirty.

I usually don't try to be dirty either, but after 3 days of not showering, it's really kindof inevitable.
Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Man, I should be picking up my kirtle, under-kirtle, shoes and a belt and maybe a cloak for my historical re-enacting within the next couple of weeks. I will post pictures. I will out-retro you all.

You know, that would actually be great. I would be the tallest midget that's ever lived. That's got to count for something, right?
Right?!

Bitch where's my tommy gun?
That's a decent costume, and it was none too expensive. The hat was maybe twenty bucks, the jacket was ten at thrift, the tie I actually got from my university (~$24,000), the pants were just pants, and the shirt I got from my mom for christmas a good five years ago or more.

Man, I want that dress. I wish I had the sewing skills to manage something like that.
Actually, I also wish I had that woman's waist. It's basically as small as her neck!
-
I don't think you'd have the organs necessary to survive if you had a waist like that.
-
What the fuck, guys, it's just a drawing. It's a sketch of a dress. People who design clothes or whatever generally don't often get anatomy exactly right; they're just trying to communicate their ideas with as little complication as possible. I mean, shit, have you ever seen the sketches of ice skaters' dresses designers do? They're far worse than this one. My sketches barely look human when I am in a hurry and just trying to jot down ideas.
-
Can women dress like this again, please?
(http://www.mavericktheater.com/assets/images/jazzbaby.gif)
-
Only if they have different hair, those bangs should never exist
-
If I had a figure like hers I would totally wear that style of dress.
-
Maybe it's just me, but I hate the no boobs/fat ass silhouette that was popular in the 20s. I like the swingy tomboy/pretty styles, but taping your bust flat??
-
Am I the only guy who honestly doesn't really care all that much about boobs? I mean, sure, yeah, they look nice and all, but come on, world, get over it.
-
Most women don't really get the fuss about them either. They're little pouches of fat. There is nothing special going on there.
-
Boobs are pretty fun but mine are hopeless as accessories.
Also not long ago I had a haircut just like that.
-
Personally, I don't get it--I mean, for me they're not even erogenous zones. But in theory, it makes a little bit of sense for guys not to be attracted to women who do not yet have evidence of secondary sexual characteristics and, thus, sexual maturity; that way they don't waste their time, energy, and valuable sperm on little girls who can't yet birth babies.
That doesn't explain, though, why boobs need to be the size of basketballs.
-

Yeah, I was thinking about putting something in my post about that. I mean it is an effective reminder, but it's not like you need a freakin' pyrotechnics display in front of a vegetable shop when a wood-frame posterboard sign will do the trick just fine.
-
Boobs are not vegetables, dawg. They are made of meat.
-
They are not for vegetarians!
-
Oh no! Do I have to return mine?
I don't really get the obsession with huge basketball-tits, but having something there to make clothing fit nice is good in my book.
-
Well, according to a friend of mine, he has never had such a good lay as the one time his then-girlfriend suggested tittyfucking (she had huge boobs).
-
I just don't see how that could be attractive at all, for either party.
-
my boobs are pretty small but i'm happy with them. i don't think i could ever deal with anything larger than what i already have.
one of my housemates, who is somewhat androgynous, has a bind that presses her boobs down that she wears pretty frequently. i have tried it on a couple of times out of curiosity. having a completely flat chest is really an amazing feeling. it is kind of hard to describe... like this enormous weight has suddenly been removed, or something. she's also told me that women in her family frequently have breast reduction surgery or, in some cases, their breasts removed entirely to reduce their chances of getting breast cancer later in life. it doesn't really faze them at all because to most of them, breasts just aren't that big a deal in the first place.
it's a pretty interesting topic. i guess what i am trying to say is i don't understand the big deal when it comes to huge boobs either.
-
Don't believe everything you read in the porno mags, ladies, they're about as many guys out there who prefer basketball sized titties as there are ladies who prefer 12'' schlongs.
And you know what you call a 12" schlong.
-
DONG

It is totally possible, just not the best idea.

-
She looks like she's in pain. Which I guess is fair enough, considering that dress.
-
Edit: Photo thread, Timewarp thread it's all the same to me.
Also that woman has to be photoshopped, that can not be possible.
-
It is, they break their ribs and sometimes have to have their organs smallerised or rearranged. Katie has done a post on this before I think.
-
I just don't see how that could be attractive at all, for either party.
Hey have you ever heard of this thing called the internet
-
Also that woman has to be photoshopped, that can not be possible.
It is completely possible. I have done lots of research on tighlacing for art projects. their organs shift around! woo! they wear their corsets 23 hours a day.
-

A foot! And why would you want a foot there?
-

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Why the hell would you do it though, it doesn't look in the slightest attractive. All I can think when I look at her is how easy it would be to actually break her in half.
-
Corsets ain't so bad until you get into the whole "Let's use this to fucking squeeze myself into a barely-recognizable-as-human shape!" thing.
-
It's almost as if tight-lacing is a fetish. Wait a second
-
Ugh. Okay, I retract my earlier statement about wanting a waist like that.
I'm perfectly happy with my waist as it is, ribs and organs intact.
-
Right, so.
You guys, tightlacing takes years, especially for a waist that small, and this is something no one seems to understand. If you do it properly, it is neither uncomfortable nor does it break your ribs. It is body modification, and it is motivated by the same thing that inspires people to get 00-gauge plugs in their ears or full sleeve and back tattoos. The different corset silhouettes determine how much and what kind of changes you will make to your body. Hourglass (http://www.corsetiere.net/Spirella/EG_corset1.jpg) corsets are the best in terms of leaving your insides in place and obtaining the largest difference in the measurements between bust/hip and waist. The Edwardian straight front (or S-curve) (http://www.staylace.com/gallery/gallery07/graphics/dw.jpg) was originally marketed as a medical corset "designed to help women breathe freely", but then no one really thought about what effects it would have on spine and pelvis and it turned out to be a tremendously bad idea. The wasp (http://www.fathom.com/course/21701726/wasp.jpg) corset does compress the floating ribs (and I'm sure that if you try to reduce too quickly or if you do it wrong, it could feasibly break them), but in my own personal opinion in terms of moderate reductions it creates the nicest (http://www.timelinefashion.de/bilder/dior-4.gif) shape (http://digilander.libero.it/mc_maki/Dita_Von_Teese_021.jpg).
I am tempted to embark on a tightlacing venture of my own just to prove a point, except I am not going to walk around in my corsets all summer in georgia and I haven't got any summer ones. If I remember when it is starting to get marginally less oppressively hot, I will work on knocking mine down from 25 to 21 inches just for the hell of it.
Edit: I just found this (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/aa/Toleration_of_the_corset1054fig45.png/150px-Toleration_of_the_corset1054fig45.png) as I was GISing hourglass corsets. Clearly whoever drew that has never been party to properly fitted corsets.
-
OK, here's a not-very-time-warpy picture of me in a dress that is older than me, therefore qualifies by the skin of its non-existant teeth. I'm also wearing sunglasses that remind me of Elton John (and not John Lennon as I originally thought).

And here's a better one, Mrs Bedwin circa Dickensian times.
[img width= height=]http://www.barmymoo.co.uk/mrs-bedwin.jpg[/img]
Both quite old but I don't have a camera. Thanks calenlass, VLC media seems to be pretty useful.
-
Use VLC media player and get a screenshot. Then use something better than paint.
-
You can look dangerously, shockingly thin without being anorexic, through the aid of psychotically shaped and applied corsets!
I guess I'm overlooking something, but why would someone want to look like the women in those pictures, aside from a fetish? I believe you when you say that it's not necessarily dangerous, but..well, Jesus, It can't be healthy.
-
Yeah, I agree with you dude.
Although she is gorgeous, that picture of Dita makes me feel slightly ill. Human bodies are not supposed to do that.
-
I am going to refrain from saying anything other than that Dita von Teese is a gorgeous (http://www.miniechelon.com/girls/dita_von_teese_10.jpg) lady (http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/The_Hum/20070810/293.vonteese.dita.081007.jpg).
Also that most lots of people (http://www.laceillusions.com/corsets/sophie-ellis-bextor-red-corset.jpg) who wear corsets (http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/go/gold-natural-silk-sophsticat-corset.jpg) are not fetishists (http://www.elegantlacing.co.uk/catalog/images/Dorothy-Corset.jpg) and are not going for crazy reductions. Plus, some ladies are just tiny naturally, like Gina Lollobrigida (http://www.corsetinformation.com/celebrities_images_xara_files/Photos/lollobrigida-no-corset_edited2.jpg) or Vera-Ellen (http://www.nndb.com/people/093/000107769/vera-ellen-1-sized.jpg) (although it is true she suffered from anorexia as well) or Salma Hayek (http://www.corsetinformation.com/celebrities_images_xara_files/Photos/hayek_edited2.jpg).
I have never bothered going down to 21 inches because I do not think my proportions would look right with a waist that small, because I am pretty curvy as it is. I can get down to just over 22 for my historical dress-up things, but that is just playing.
-
I'm not arguing against corsets altogether, but lol im in ur clothin, crushin ur guts corset-wearing is just plain nasty-looking.

dammit why must you judge me joe? *sobs* just because i fell asleep on the beach and had a sand sex-change at the hands of some bored friends doesnt mean im a freak
-
eh I wasn't referring to your av.
-
Corsets that do not greatly alter a woman's appearance are the best. Ones that give you a freakishly tiny waist, etc. scare me. They just look so unnatural and it weirds me out.
But I would like a corset that are like three of the ones Katie posted:

Cartoon furry squirrels with giant dongs I can explain away as being 'the internet', simple boobies, however, are a little harder to deal with.

I wasn't aware that the internet was by definition a cartoon furry squirrel with a giant dong, maybe that's where I've been going wrong.

True story: was out at a restaurant tonight and on the news there was some footage of a doctor doing an ultrasound on a woman's tit.
She had a fantastic rack, just for the record.
