Oh.

Sorry about that.

I keep imagining that Shea is lurking just out
of sight, ready to pounce on me if I come out
with a pun.

I don't think she's even on this thread.

That's why it's so absurd that I should
be sweating over it. Okay, it's so muggy
here (motto: I've been mugged by the mugginess)
that I'm sweating no matter what I do.

Oh, I do think I may have totally forgotten
the point I was trying to make.
This afternoon, I went to a busy shopping
mall and forgot where I had parked my car.

What's the dress code for the festivites?

Formal? Casual? Fetish? White tie?

Formal is unthinkable in such hot weather.
My white tie no longer fits, so forget that.
All my fetishes are being laundered at the moment.
I vote for casual.

*sits in the corner of the party by himself*

Red Dog, I hate to see you looking so lonely.

Is there anything I can get you?
Somne ?
Some ?

That's kind of you Paul. Maybe I'll have an until we sing Auld Lang Syne and carriages arrive

...we're going casual? Bah, I was going to go all out with a lovely corset, stockings, heals, and everything! Well, does anyone wanna lace me in anyhow?

Don't look at me.

I like to let it all hang out.

I can lace. I've had to lace Mandragora into her corsets on occasion.

Besides, corsets and stockings can be casual, for a given value of casual.

Of corset all depends.

Then do lace me in! *offers back with loose corset laces for QQ to get all fixed tight and tied*

*grabs laces and starts pulling tight, working laces through the eyelets to ensure even tension*

How tight do you want it?

That all depends on whether she wants to breath.

Now, now. Corsets are only uncomfortable or restrictive when they're put on wrong, a bad fit or laced too tightly.

And your point is?

As long as I can still talk, it's fine Keep pulling *grabs onto something*
