These look like some pretty good reads. I'm with you. I love to buy books about my crafts.

I really enjoyed this article. I sometimes forget that the work I do today will pay off for tomorrow because sometimes the work just doesn't go well. Thanks for the inspiration.

I luv NRG kai because he's the ninja of and ilike the elament fire

Jo, What a great example of the value of self defense, thanks for sharing your story. I'm so glad you and your friend never saw the inside of that van. At just over 100 pounds you did very well. Self defense training really does work. As they say the bigger they are the harder they fall, so we wee lil lassies bess git out the way :)

Victorian ladies weren't at all fashionable without a 'wasp' waist. That's where the corset came from. They just got tighter and more torturous, as time went on.

Glad that you didn't live then?

Glad to hear it. <3

Great article, EM! I'd love to get ARC copies someday. :-) I agree it would be a good idea for us to do book reviews here on Wizzley :-) You and Jo Harrington today have certainly inspired me to start.

Right, I think we should do more book reviews here on Wizzley :-). I enjoyed yours very much! That thing about workers being fired, getting an invoice for outstanding debt, and that girl fighting to get her money from the Fund -- amazing. And yes, I remember those violins (I think) playing from when I watched the movie. There are some violins in Elie Wiesel's Night as well. Both scenes, one from the movie, and the other from that book, moved me deeply.

I really enjoyed your article, and loved that image with the internal organs under a corset. I never visualized it that way: scary stuff. And yes, no wonder they were fainting all the time! How crazy this whole tight corset thing was. Poiret looks daring with his tube dresses, but as you say, he just picked up the style of a previous era. But then, I'm wondering, when exactly got this corset get to be so tight, what were the influences?

Whoo! Rainbow decorations! Gotta love it more

Hello Ragtimelil! Yes, I know how frustrating it must be for your friend, having been very active all my life myself. My life changed 100 per cent. I did not choose this life I have now, it was chosen for me, and that what makes it so frustrating. Thank you for your wonderful words and your love and prayers.
Bless you,
Sannel
