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.

but with a nice dose of lycra, i say all things are possible.

Ha! Or, you know, I could just use one of my several patterns that are actually designed to be used as a jumper. Pinafore.

Funny, the word pinafore isn't used hardly at all here, and if it is, would be a sort of frilly apron-like garment (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~looper/pinafore.htm), usually worn by little girls now, with an Easter dress or something, unless they're members of a modestly-dressing religious group.

How is it that we use such different words for articles of clothing? Language is SO WEIRD.

it would never be a jumper here, a jumper is always a pullover.

i just see myself in it, but not wanting to flash cleavage, and wanting to wear it several days in a row, and wanting my long sleeves on underneath.

but i do like it, especially the swishy back.
