elanya at 07:45pm on 02/01/2005My sister owns a corset. It is a pink satin 'brocade' with black lace - just a cheap, plastic boned thing off the rack from a lingerie store. And still, it has power!
We were in Barcelona for a few days over the holidays - for New years Eve, in fact. My sister has a rather eclectis fashion sense, but it works well for her :) Alas, I don't have any pictures, but I will put my powers of description to the test. She's about medium build, with dyed red hair about two inces long that she usually spikes messily. in this case, it was also pushed back with a wise orange and green headband, and spiked. She wore a short lime green dress, under said pink corset, with green fishnets over black panty hose (just to make them stand out that much more ;), and black mary-janes, and a long black jacket.
Of course, she was the only one at the little bar we ended up at wearing anything that exciting, corset included (I have not yet taken the plunge, but soon, soon I will have one of my very own ^-^ I hope...) Anyway. Of course, she was getting lots of looks! And after a 2 second conversation with some guy whilst standing in line for the washroom she'd picked up an admirer! A French acoustic engineer working in Nagasaki, he claimed, named Damien. He was definitely French, anyway. He was very very drunk, and also muddling along in English, which was not his first language. "You are so charming, you are so beautiful, so interesting, every girl should dress like you..." He was kind of sweet, in an amorous-drunk kind of way ;) We eventually ditched him as politely as we could, around 4 am, when she begged off by being tired.
Anyway, I just thought maybe you would enjoy this ittle NYE corset tale. It was quite amusing at the time, and I don't think we will ever let her live it down ^-^ (X-posted to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
