get your ass spanked

[dragonlady7]

So.
This being a Friday night, and I having it off, and Dave having decided it wasn't true that he didn't like to go out, we went out.

Turns out it was Fetish Nite at the Continental. Were surrounded by ill-advised corsets and unwarranted leather. Have decided I need more corsets in my wardrobe; also, most others who wear them do so poorly.

Mistress Gina was giving cheap trial sessions, and one of her lovely assistants, a thirtysomething Asian woman in glasses and an attractive leather-and-PVC corset (that was eversoslightly too small for her, but well-laced at least) was giving out free ass spankings. So we watched a few of those.

All in all a good night, but Dave and I still disagree over whether that buckley corset would suit me. He just objectively thinks the thing itself is ugly and has no poetic imagination of how it would combine with boobs.

Me? I need leather pants, too. Curse this no-money-having state. Although I did attract my share of errant eyes by the sheer quantity of cleavage I possess (though I flatter myself some of it is quality as well). I still maintain I'd be hot as a Goth chick, and I'd wear that kind of outfit to regular clubs. (What choice have I? When the fashion does insist on remaining crop halter tops and low jeans? What's a DDD to do but either jubble uncontrollably [and unattractively: driving down Chippewa we saw our fair share of that] or resort to spring-steel boning?)

You wouldn't happen to know a local place to get a reasonably good corset at a reasonably good price, would you? My daughter is set on one for her prom, and we're about out of time for it (three weeks). I was going to send for one that is wonderfully gorgeous (and probably the best made that exists) but never got the money for it in time to order it.

I don't know anywhere local to look. I got the singular one I have at the Ren Fest in Stirling, which is almost two hours out of rochester. Everyplace else I've looked has been online. I don't know if there's anyplace local that sells such things-- I haven't been here long enough to look.

Although my sister Ann, who is a C/D cup, found an excellent (for her!) one at Frederick's of Hollywood that she wore to her prom. (I got one there and the boning is plastic so after about an hour of wearing it the thing pretty much just dumped my boobs right out-- it's not really strong enough to support someone who Really Truly needs support. It's a lingerie corset, not really a real true honest-to-god one. But Ann's held up to a prom and has lasted well into college, so...
So, if your daughter's on the skinny side, Fredericks of Hollywood is indeed in the Walden Galleria, and might have something very lingerieish but in a pinch they'll do if you're lucky.

Ah, so I just had the brilliant idea of asking the local boy who lives with me (duh) if he knew of anyplace. It's not so dumb as you'd think, my not thinking to ask him; he's not much of a shopper. But he IS a computer geek. So, he didn't know of anyplace offhand, but he asked Google Local (http://www.google.com/lochp?hl=en&tab=wl&q=), and it suggested he go down to Allen St. and try out Second Skin (http://www.second-skin.net/). I have never been there and so don't know what kind of atmosphere it has, and whether I'd bring anyone young there, and I really don't know what kind of selection and prices they have. At any rate it's hardly a place for a mother-daughter bonding experience, but they do have corsets, and indubitably more serious ones than the elastic-and-lace plastic Fredericks Of Hollywood ones. (I had a photo online of my sister in said garment, i was so sure, and I was going to show it-- hers was reasonably substantial, and was the kind of corset that's just straight, so you get squashed up to the top-- in her case, it looked quite good. But in my case, I just fall out. So. Mixed.) (Actually the icon on this post and on this comment is me in that corset, but

Somewhat pricier (but remember, them's Canadian dollars, for whatever that's worth nowadays), and farther away, there's a place in Ontario that does fittings and some tailoring-- and the goods are hawt-- Wornert Coture (http://www.wornertcouture.com/index.html), in St. Catherine's, Ontario-- which is under an hour away dependent on bridge traffic. I am going to go now and spend like an hour drooling over their site now, ok?
Oh, Google Local also recommends another place in St. Catherine's, called Annabelle's, but they don't have a website and there's just a map (http://www.stcathdowntown.com/directory/details.php?id=261) of St. Catherine's showing where it is. Shrug! I may have to take me a trip up there someday when I have money and, well, somplace to go all dressed up. :)

Thanks a lot! I'll try out some of those places. Fredericks' isn't out of the question, since she is also a C/D. Money is still an issue - do you know approximately what the Fredericks' one was, since the others seem to be averaging around $200?

[dragonlady7.livejournal.com]

Fredericks' lingerie-style corset was like, maybe, sorta, $40ish? I don't really remember-- it was several years ago. i don't think they carry this exact style anymore, but at various points they have carried various other things, so it's not unreasonable to think that they might have something.

(er, duh, proofread and notice whether you've finished sentences!)

Actually the icon is of me in that corset, but if I'd animated the icon in the next three frames it would've slowly bent and I'd've fallen out. :D More exciting, sure, but also less family-friendly.

And I forgot to finish the sentence that I can't find the photo of Ann in her corset either. Strange. It does work on her.

I am so full of the wanting it's just bad. Bad! I must go to work now. And be good. Good!

I'll go take a wander around Freddie's, and Allen St. Thanks a lot.
