Do I love or hate this new Vogue pattern? It's the dress equivalent of a mullet, but I can't deny the appeal of the bustle reference. I'd have to see it in person. And I suspect it wouldn't look all that great on curvy, short-legged women. So best to just leave it alone, yes? Might have to purchase this one, although I'm uncertain if it's really as gorgeous as I think it is, or if it only seems so because of the absolute dearth of decent designs from any of the major pattern companies this season. I don't know why I continue to look and shop for new patterns, anyway. I could make one garment a week without ever re-using a pattern in my current collection, and I doubt I'd run out of patterns before the end of the decade.

mckitterick left the heavy bag up for me yesterday afternoon, so when I got home from work, I could do some punching all on my own if I wanted. And I did! So I did! I only lasted about fifteen minutes, though. And that was broken up into thirty seconds (or so) of punching with long breaks between to catch my breath. By the end of the fifteen minutes, my hands were shaking and my teeth hurt from my heart pounding. Good times. I like punching things. A lot. I'm even starting to incorporate a kiai in my back-fist punch. Hardcore, bitches!

So, yesterday's Obscure Culture Reference Reveal. Regarding the use of the "like a boss" phrase + my reference to Nazi fashion? Hugo Boss provided uniforms to the Nazis. There you go.

I was considering attending a kirtan on Saturday night, but I think I'll stay home and get plastered instead. I'm pretty sure I know what that says about my level of spiritual enlightenment, and I'm pretty sure I don't give a fuck.

Yes! This would look good on radiantmephit. And seeing as she and I are pretty much opposite body types, that nixes it for me. Ah, well.

! I did not see this comment! Insanity! Well, maybe that is why I like the pattern. I'm seriously thankful that you both think I could rock that dress. Good to know.

I still think you could wear dress #1. You look great in a deep V (boobage!), You have a nicely defined waist. Your shape is flattered by A-line skirts, which this pattern has. I just don't know what that bustle would do on either of us. Is it a giant red arrow (of sorts) pointing to the boo-tay?

Yeah, that bustle. Good in theory, but I'm uncertain about the application.

I would totally rock the front view, yes.
