Whalebone corsets
In a group walking to the bar last night, a woman was talking about corsets
me: "well, at least the modern ones are more comfortable. imagine being in one of those old whalebone corsets"
girl: "whalebones? that's crazy."
me: "that's what they used to stiffen them"
girl: "you're making this stuff up"
The party was crazy. By 3, after two bottles of Veuve Clicquot, I knew this morning's breakfasts with my parents would be rough.
And now I'm at the office, hungry, waiting for the re-cabling to be finished.
