h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Mandragora,

I wondered if you were still doing the BBB. After talking about it for about three years, I am finally coming up this Sunday. If you are still around I'll happily buy you a .

ooops... in my phenomenal business I have not been on here in... gosh, ages. Which means I will have missed you.
However, if you're coming up again in another 3 years' time, you're welcome...

I'll probably be coming quicker than that. We paid for some goods to be altered because my wrists are so skinny, and they were supposed to be posted to us. And we're still waiting. So it was only £3, I want my bracelet!

If I come up again, shall I email you? Although you do seem to be a bit more active around the place again.

Well then, I want a bracelet too!
where was I... by all means email, I would like to go again; I have not been attending since they have had no spare stalls (although in my absence, Rawhide Corsets has got in and they are both extremely expensive and have a huge stall. Which immediately makes them superior, so I wonder... Although they sell stuff off-the-rack, unsized (£200!) and I looked at a couple of their products and the stitching was coming undone. )
I was off h2 due to glorious, joyful w**k commitments! Hurrah! (finally have cashflow again.) But if I am not, email whenever (I check that everyday as the bare minimum geek-requirement.) I would enjoy going as a customer, by all means.

I did see the corset stall, very sprawling!

We liked the fair, it was much nicer than the one in London, and I love the idea of the workshops! So I'm hoping that we'll be coming again soon. I'll make sure that I send an email to see if you're free too.

I think one of the bracelets said 'kinky', and one said 'bitch'. Nice and sparkly they were too.

I like some of their designs and the fabrics they use, but still...
The BBB also has not replied to my emails enquiring about a stall, so I am inclined to be suspicious. Having 3 whip suppliers is not a problem I suppose, but two specifically for corsets might cause bother. However, I would've appreciated a reply from them, and it also gets me worrying that someone may have had a gripe about me to them... Birthday Girl, maybe ... still, I expect they would let me know in that case.
I was considering going to either London or Bristol, the latter have extra spaces; but actually doing 8 corsets a month was a bit much in the end.
I've not been to any of the workshops so I will have to make that a feature when we go.

Birthday Girl? I don't know that name. It would be a shame if the other stallholder had been picked in preference, but a bespoke corset maker is a very different thing to an off the peg seller, there should be room for both.

I might be venturing down to investigate Bristol myself, because I have J every other weekend, sometimes the LFF falls on the wrong weekend. Then I can't make the BBB either. But the Bristol one falls on the alternate weekend, and I can make it. Mind you, there's another London one started recently too. The one that the TG started died a bit of a death, so we'll have to see if this one makes it.

Remember the one I was having slight problems with? She wanted the corset for her birthday but I was ill, then she didn't want it any more. Ever.
I still have it. And her money, too.
Rawhide do custom, from their website at least; but mostly they seemed to be selling standard sizes.

I will have to see if travelling to Bristol is viable, but if you pronounce it good let us know.

Ah yes, I remember. It was the birthday bit that threw me!

I'll make sure that I let you know. It's not going to be this month, I know that. Summer time seems to be busy for my other half, it's difficult to pin him down at weekends.

Best leave it til the weather is more conducive to unusual fabrics.
