One year later

Okay, here I am, one year since starting this blog. We've seen lots of evidence of insanity. And some new experiences. Some memorable events. And, hopefully, I've given my three readers some good chuckles when they needed it and sometimes when they didn't.

The following photos detail a trip I made yesterday. To the land of "What-the-hell-were-we-smoking?!"


Ames and I wanted to try out something we'd seen/read about a long time ago. Duct tape dressforms! Since buying a 'real' dressform is slightly out of our budgets. Plus, do you actually know anyone who is the same shape as one of those things without some heavy duty corsetry??


These photos are of the making of Beige Babe (har. My superhero name.)

Needless to say, for our first try, these suckers weren't too bad. Mine still needs a bit of tweaking, like getting it onto the stand so it isn't sitting on the floor confusing the cat.

You can also see some of the goofy entering the hilarity that was us. Did I mention that we were stone sober at the time?


Oh, and how often can you fondle your own boobs when they aren't attached to your body? I couldn't resist.

Ames might or might not share her photos and it isn't my place to share what's hers, so hold your breath (heavens know we did in process).

Not bad for using vaguely-remembered blog posts and internet searches, huh.

Ok, you convinced me I may have to make one of these. But still scared to see my actual shape. It won't be pretty!
