"Trav, honey... would you tie me up?"
"Now?"
"Yes, now. Pleeeeease?"
"I'm getting sick of this. You know I can't put them through the holes right."
"Last one, I promise. I can't do it by myself."
--Girl and her male companion in the dressing room of a Telegraph Ave clothing store

...So this whole scene made a lot more sense to me when I stuck my head out of my dressing room and saw the guy... patiently trying to lace his girlfriend into one of those strappy tops with a square of vinyl for the front and a bunch of strings for the rest of it.

Either way, I suppose it works. So long as you have both madness and method.

See, Saint, there is a method to my madness. Or is a madness to my method? I always get those 2 confused.

Now, at last, I understand your "don't forget the bodice" comment during the corset discussion, Arlene.

sounds like a pain to lace all right, but is it any worse than lacing up a Renaissance style bodice? The kind that doubles as a wonderbra, not the covers the assets kind. You pull that sucker _tight_, then an hour later tighten it again.
