Things I'm Wondering About

[ithildin]

Random things I'm wondering about today as my brain leaps from one fic to another.

Would the stays in a corset deflect a knife so that instead of it stabbing where it was intended, it would go in at a different angle, potentially causing a less serious wound?

What was the most popular serious/hardcore recreational drug during the Roaring Twenties? Was opium still being used heavily?

What about the teeth of Immortals anyway? Would they never wear down? Would they grow back if knocked out, or are lots of Immies wearing dentures?

Early nineteenth pistols. Need to know more. Must look through collected websites soonish.

Just what did happen when Charlotte went to Bali with Tony? Will they ever tell me? Do I really want to know?

If Ezra Standish had to choose another name for a new persona, what would it be?

Later: Wow! I wasn't expecting so much random pondering help [g] And some of these aren't even for any specific purpose, just idle curiosity. Like the immie teeth one. Why am I wondering about it? Not a klew! I just am.

Oh, and I know I've told you before, but I really do love your shop! One of these days.... :) I have two Edwardian style coats that I would love to have a corset to wear with.

Thanks! We're currently working on producing corsets ourselves, in hopes of being able to offer good quality at a better price. As soon as we have them on the website I'll let you know.

I'm pretty sure when I get one I want to do it 'live'. I have an oddly proportioned body. The one time I tried to buy a pre made period dress, the top portion was like a halter top on me [g] Hopefully we can make a trip down to SoCal at some point next year. But yes, I'd love to see the stuff on the website!
