Ring pokes his hed through the door

{"Hmm...I've never been in here before...I've always just lurked about...it seems like a fun place to hang out...I'll have to come back when I have more time..."}

Grabs some coffee and scurries out the door.

Oh, Giggles...you're a dear! I see it.......sunshine, blue skies, the grass and the flowers! WONDROUS!! Oh, I am in a much better mood now!

Sex differences make for an incredibly tenacious arguement--but around here you get few, if any, of the "it's all conditioning" types and the "let's not notice the differences for fear of all hell breaking loose" types. I don't know how this was received, but I don't think you were pounced on from all sides.

Sure, probably a good idea to do introductory work in clear, but dang, I love color.
Actually, the color is way off in the photo, it's really cobalt

I love cobalt.

Thank you.
Actually, if it's the one I just googled it wouldn't be too difficult. I'd start with a jacket from Goodwill and alter it to fit more closely (princess seams). Then go from there ... wouldn't be too hard.

Look at this (you have to scroll to the right to see all patterns, and don't forget to scroll down so you can see line drawings of them:
http://members.optusnet.com.au/pink_kan/hussar.html.

And some interesting basic patterns are here:
http://www.allsizepatterns.com/Misses.html

It sort of depends on whether you want a really authentic jacket (like re-enactors wear) or a Hussar-inspired jacket (easier) or just something to dress up in -- like a theatrical costume that looks great but isn't usually all that complicated.

The braid will be the expensive part, but we could source it online and would find a good rate.

Kristine, itching to make something[/url]

Well dang, then lets do it! And no, I don't want something authentic. Weren't those wool--all that heat and itch and care on the playa. . .

(Outside a noise is heard... clanking and loud, as if some type of pedal powered contraption were approaching. Over the distant, yet fast approaching noise, a singing can be heard that seems as if the singer thinks it sounds great, but to those still laying groggily in the bar,it sounds more like caterwauling.)

Morning, Cryptfishist, et.al!! (pulling back the sometimes-a-flap, sometimes-a-door, entrance to the place)

I brought a bicycle trailer load of breakfast burritos, ala black cat. Some veggie, some egg and sausage... all with jammin hot sauce.

Enjoy!!

(As he’s leaving, the cat stops in his tracks to sniff the door frame. Stepping back and effecting the flehmen response...)

Smells like someone from Tennessee’s been in here...

Oh, good morning Noir! I would love to have a E&S breakfast burrito, no hotsauce for me though.

*munching....*

YUM! Thanks!

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 8:27 am

If the second toe is longer then the big toe it means you're in "charge"!! That's just what I heard long ago!

There was that study a few years back about the ratio of length between ring and index indicating "gayness." and that was just the ring being nearly as long. No idea what it's supposed to indicate when it's longer.

A little late, but I'll raise my tea to hot pants, stuart. Hardly sexist, they can look good on any gender. It's all in the presentation.
