I think I've lost the right to my "honorary man" card. I need to get over this obsession with shoes and articles of clothing with an internal structure of their own. Yes, I've admitted before that I would live in corsets if I could, but I caught myself actually considering the logistics of it a few days ago.

And then yesterday, I bought these shoes. No, I didn't need them (though I do need a pair of sneaker-y things). Yes, they were on sale, and I used the gift card my Secret Santa (from work) toward them, so they only cost me about $18 of real money. And I did this while on the phone with kashmir_ki_kali, and she can vouch for the sheer girlyness I was exhibiting at the time.

I think this counteracts my proficiency with power tools (cutting steel is fun! nail guns are just so cool!), my gamer tendencies, my ridiculously furry legs. (My hair is value neutral; it's long, but I don't get girly about it.) I'm ashamed of myself.

On the other hand, I'm listening to this song, and my brain immediately labels Javert Lawful Good and Valjean Chaotic Neutral. So, apparently, I'm a girly geek (geeky girl?). Bah.

I don't know where you've been hanging, but um, I know lotsa girl gamerz. More sprout with every moment. Me, I'm only a faux gamer since my computer needs more RAM for WoW and I have yet to steal the shared PS2 to bring back to college (but still I've actually completed several 70+ hour games!!). But if you ever go corset shopping, I'd love to come. However, real corsets would most likely be available in sex shops (as burlesque items).... and I'd be very uncomfortable to see all those *ahem* gadgets. But still, I want! And not the fake ones from Hot Topic. ::chuckles:: Who the heck would I show it off to? Ah well, such is life!

You'd be surprised, actually. My "executive corset", which has light boning in it, came from Guess.
