Of late I have found myself slightly irritated by various style pronouncements -- One Must Wear X, One Must Not Wear Y, A Woman Should Wear Z or Fear A Fashionista's Wrath. Of late I have found myself gritting my teeth and deleting bookmarks to style sites because I am so irritated... And why invite irritation when it comes so easily and unwelcomed

Oh my! I love this indeed!

[laurawise]

Thank you thank you thank you, ALH. :-)

Dude.
submit this some places.

You rock.
::hugs::

[laurawise]

I think that this post means I can't submit it anywhere. But you are a fabulous kind person for suggesting it, and I thank you. :-) [hugs]

Oh, that's awesome, in a kinda creepy way. You don't know whether to despise or feel sorry for Madame Parker, and you wind up doing both.

And it leaves you wondering what the word was, that carried such pain...

Wow.

[laurawise]

If I told you the word, it wouldn't be as creepy, right? ;-)

Thank you so much, S, for this wonderful reading -- I appreciate the comment v.v. much.

[going_not_gone]

Oh yes.

This way, it suggests a dark, twisty backstory that has made Mme. P. who she is, hidden under a veneer of fashion so perfect that not even she remembers it, until This One reminds her.

*shivers*

I'm going with "lapidary perfection" for the story.

Julia, hoping none of the sidhe show up to reify my old hurts until I've the time to deal with the consequences, though.

[laurawise]

Yes -- This One's appearance is not particularly one to wish for.

Thank you v.v. much, Julia, for such a kind reading, and I feel sure that you are safe from This One!

Oh, I do love that! You go, girl!

I've been fighting the too old/too ugly/too fat/not worth the trouble to wear... battle with myself for a while. I realised I'm wearing drab colors and none of my really fun t-shirts (Goddess Formerly Known as Princess) because some teenage mall store clerk made a snotty remark about it, to another clerk, in front of me.

I need to be braver, I know.

[laurawise]

Sometimes one is too tired to be brave. [hugs]

But perhaps This One needs to visit that mall clerk...

Thank you so much for reading, A!
