My Life Is... fuckin' weird, sort of. :T

[poisontea]

Note to male customers: Please stop hitting on me. Some of you are creepy as shit and some of you are just nice, but it's starting to weird me out. Whyyyyy u do dis.

Note to female customers: You are free to hit on me more, though. Just. FYI. Or at all. It is SO HARD to figure out who even might not be totally straight in a religious town, ugh.

re. the hitting on you: Clearly this is because you are AWESOME. :D

re. the link: Are you using it for cosplay, or for average daily use? I'm unqualified to comment on what it'd be like for average daily use (not familiar with what the effect of constant use would be like), but if for cosplay (ie. if you're going as a guy character), another option is a back support brace - it may or may not be cheaper, depending on the kind you're looking at. I use a support brace when turning up as a guy character.

And either way: I know you're smart enough, but this sort of thing bears mentioning: Please ensure you can breathe! I'm not sure what the standard is for binders, but I know the general rule when, um, tying people up when you don't want to cause them pain, or even for dog collars (to make sure they're loose enough and that you're not choking the pet), is to make sure you can slip two fingers underneath the binding. Make sure you can breathe and that you're not cutting off circulation.

... and that's all I got. :(

BUT I REALLY DO NOT LOOK GOOD WHILE AT WORK. :| Like. Really. My uniform is bleh, I tend to have to wear sweaters UNDER it so it looks kinda odd, and I have my hair back in a headband thing that makes my hair look all mullet-y and just... not good.

... Plus one of the guys who was flirting with me was also one of the guys who said I didn't look old enough to work there and always creeps me out when someone thinks "YOU LOOK UNDERAGE :D" is a good pickup line.

How does the back support brace feel? Is it comfortable, does it stay comfortable or start feeling like you really want to take it off after being in it all day? I'd definitely use it for cosplay, buuuut... okay I'm not trans but I'm mildly genderqueer/genderfluid, so I'd actually like to go out IDing as male sometime, and that's the major reason I want these things. So not daily use, but not just for cosplay either? I might wear it for just a day, or for a few, or something. KINDA HAD TO EXPLAIN, but. I'm not 100% sure if a support brace would work if I was doing anything other

WHY IS THAT ZUKA CLUB *__*

[thelovemafia]

And if that is Zuka Club, I saw part of the Zuka Club production of Phoenix Wright, and oh it blew my mind

this is actually a very not useful comment, i apologize

[i_v_f]

Oh lol, it cracks me up when guys from here hit on me. Usually because they're either so fucking weird about it that it goes over my head, or that they're pathetically obvious, in a still kind of 'lolwat' way. (My immediate memory is of this guy who asked me "where's the party at?" I just sort of blinked and went "what?" [last party I've been invited to was my 10 year old cousin's birthday party xDDD] He repeated it, and I was like "I don't know man, no one tells me these things." His response? "Aw c'mon. I wanna party like a white girl~" lolwat. /snickers/ This town...)

>It is SO HARD to figure out who even might not be totally straight in a religious town, ugh.

Haha, I sort of know this feeling. Lots of universities here, so it's like... liberal on that end, but the entire AREA the town is in is so religious conservative. liek whoa. xDD

Also, everywhere I spend a significant amount of time EXCEPT at work keeps thinking I'm younger. Everyone at work placed me three years older x'DD watAAANYWAY. I actually have no useful opinion

:| @ age comments. I know how you feel! I never got carded for smokes while I was underage, but the moment I turned eighteen, people started to pester me all the time. :|, I say, :|

As for the link... if it's too short, you might have trouble with it riding up, because that's usually the problem with binds that stop above the navel. If they start riding up, suddenly your 'pectorals' are up your nose. It can be funny for parody "manly men" but not if you're doing a serious shot.

I was actually wanting to buy a binding vest before...but I know for a fact the zip up ones are better. Ones without zippers are like IMPOSSIBLE to get off. :||||| I've seen people try, and they like almost cry. Though they do look pretty good. If you have big boobies though, it's better to bind and THEN put the binding vest on to smooth it out :D

Also, if I were at your gas station I would hit on you. B|b

[graceful_vanity]

Also, for the chest binding, I would look for a longer one.
