(mis)quote from The Tick -
"I mean sanity's really somethin'of a one trick pony, What have you got? one trick - Saneness. But when you're good and crazy, whoo hooo!"
(for the correct version, watch the Tick, or read that Jayne Espenson essay book.)
As for the corsets, they are going to cost more than that, thats just the stays, sans handling and shipping, but hopefully not much more. Blue with a white trim? goddit, i'll send you a list of the measurements I need, and you'll have to get one of your crazy mates to take them for you (or maybe LMD is willing to drive up and do it
)
It won't be perfectly fitted to you, but hopefully it'll be a good fit, the beauty of this style is the separate stomacher, meaning you can tighten and loosen with out that god awful bulge thing happening (which would even happen to Paris Hilton - if someone could convince her that it wouldn't be, like, wearing too much fabric.)
Hmm, i'm going to have to dig up my pattern paper, lets see, where did it put it...
oh, yeah, not sure if I mentioned what it was actually, ha ha, er, its in the wardrobe department of a tv show, not one that you will have heard of.

*sniff* so the price of spending an evening with me is too high?

Seryn-Still quite reasonable, I think. I was thinking I'd be paying quite a bit more for one anyway. Hand-made clothes are expensive, but well worth it IMHO.
I can sew and I've made quite a few things for myself in the past. My favourite was this long black crepe dress I made for concerts and recitals back in my musical days. It was based on a costume pattern for a french medieval dress. Long sleeved, scoop neckline, full skirt. It just fell so nicely. I cut off the train and made the skirt not quite so full. And I added a nice black trim to the edge of the sleeves and neck. It was lovely. I got so many compliments on that dress.
Oooh-costume department for a TV station? That sounds like an AWESOME job to have. When do you find out if you get it?
JH- I dunno. Do you charge by the hour?

not necesarily what i meant JH, just that it wasn't quite that simple.
But yeah, some indication of your rates would be a good idea 
Yeah, it will be an awsome job, I'll learn soooo much. It seemed so cool, he kept detailing all the work seeing if i'd get scared but I think I just got more and more manically excited (still not sure if that was a good or bad thing)
It would only be for ten months, then i'd have to start looking around for another (hmmmm, methinks joss would be getting a fair few emails, pleeeese give me a job, look, i'm qualified, I have some experience, you don't even need to pay me that much! as long as you'll let me sleep in a storecupboard or something somewhere.
If farscape was still going i'd be in australia already, jumper for a creature with two heads? I'm there.. likewise with Firefly - a smart sexy top for zoe one day, a bizarre eastern inspired hobo's outfit, or a peice o frothy pink kookiness the next? heaven)
but this is just fab, learning to work in the tv style, with the wacky schedules and the vagaries of shooting and the overdressed extras and the fact that occaisionally they dress up as chairs....
anyhoo, I find out friday (ish)

How do you know I won't of heard of it? 
hmm, Farscape, you've just reminded me I'm supposed to be buyin' them thar DVDs. I bought the first season, which promptly had half the wrong discs, and a few that didn't work, and then they brought out a box set of all four seasons for about £20 more than one season boxset...
So they got sent back...
Damn. Hyperdrive, that new comedy is premiring on BBC2 and the lost finale is on 4. Why can't they put things on at different times?

Hollyoaks! No way wow!
And hyperdrives probably actually finished now *checks*, yep.
I've taped it and watching Lost.
Really with you on the exercise thing. Since I gave up Martial Arts I've gone from a healthy 12 Stone to a ridiculously lardy 16 Stone...
For our Americans there's 14 pounds to the stone...
My name is Earl started last week didn't it? Either way I missing it this week to. BSG I've got little or no chance of watching because it's on Sky, and the cable is tied up watching Coronation street all the bloody time 
.

I knew that, but I'm not exactly sure where I knew it from...horses, maybe?
My Name Is Earl is one of the few shows I watch...I like it.

yep, i'm pissed off, i couldn't find any info from a website or anything for it, tv and sattelite online came up but didn't actually say anything about it, then on a spaced site it said eleven o'clock, so i rushed down and guess what, it wasn't on at eleven.
poot.
Yeah Hollyoaks, and quite possibly the spin off and Grange Hill, seein as it's the same people.
Fingers crossed, I really need to watch it though, my Dad (who is a teacher and works with a lot of teenage girls who find it physically impossible to talk quietly) has been filling me in on some of the plot details, but I need to go do homework.
As for the exercise routine, I found a gym (kinda) near me that has trampolines!
real life ones, boing boing boing yey! It also does pilates classes, which is kind of what i was looking for, but that is too grown up and sensible compared to trampolning.
That class was always the only p.e class that I ever willingly went to, some of the others they almost had to get the tranq darts in to get me to come quietly, but trampolining i was always right there, even if we did only get two lousy minutes on the bloody things out of an entire hour.
Gyms with bouncy things! yey!
