It's my 25th today. I'll be volunteering in the daytime then I'll party all night. This is actually the first birthday I've celebrated :)
I have also made huge progress with accepting that I am a lesbian (bc of family background and other barriers).
How are you all doing today? Anything you're proud of this week?
My measurements are:
Under bust rib = 32 in
Waist = 33 in
High Hip = 34.5 in *
Low hip = 37 in
Seated torso, 9 in
Rebel madness 28in waspie worn right way up. Lower belly slopes outwards visibly in clothing.
Rebel madness 28in waspie worn upside down. Worn like this for 5.5 h today.
I own a size 28 corset from fairy gothmother. And a 28in rebel madness waspie. Which I can close with a ~1 in gap.
However these don't fit right. Because my shape is like a letter b or a weird pregnancy. And so the corset sticks out at a sharp angle.
Due to endometriosis medication, I gained lots of weight concentrated on the front of my belly. It's almost invisible if viewing me from the back.
So, for example jackets, must be bought at UK 18/20. Unless I wear a corset. The rest of my body is a UK size 12/14 for reference.
*the protrusion is part of the high hip measurement.
I calculated my springs below for a size 28 and 30 corset.
28 = 4in Rib and 6in Hip
30 = 2in Rib and 4in Hip
I have one corset that fits well and flattens the protrusion. It's a vollers 30in ribbon cincher which I thrifted.
I need another corset that can achieve this. Rn I'm looking at the Mystic city MCC6 in 26 or 28in (very unsure about that one) or a WKD demi waspie in size 18.
Thanks everyone!
I need cosplay/drag wig styling advice. I browsed the web for wig styling techniques.
And tried styling and dyeing one last week and the results only looked good in a few pics. Definitely not in person. Refer to pics.
I used perm rods and put the (heat resistant lace front synthetic) wig in hot water with a fabric dye (jacquard Idye poly) dissolved in that.
Attempt two must be must be finished by next Tuesday, and be shoulder length, tightly curled and red/black coloured. I will tie it back as part of the performance.
Should I start with a straight wig in the preferred colour?
A box braided wig is another option I'll consider.
Thank you :)
Hi
I often feel alone and unworthy. As I don't encounter many online who did similar SH (E. G. Transfusions and surgery needed) who has received zero mental health support since.
It's been over a year now. And I've had help for my psychotic symptoms many years ago, when I lived in another part of the UK. But nothing for the past 4y. Not even medication reviews.
I haven't SHed in over 4 months, but I fear being denied any chance of getting help if I don't do something intense again. I don't feel like doing it, but I feel I'm faking the whole thing otherwise.
But due to ongoing complications, some acts may actually kill me this time.
I just want to know that I'm not the only one in this situation.
I can't imitate accents (consciously or easily) and vary how formal I sound. This also affects swearing which means my anger builds up more.
Annoying as I would prefer a slight change to my speech patterns.
Does anyone else have my kind of autism? It seems the opposite is more common.
I also wonder why it's so hard for me? And if anyone has advice, I'd appreciate it.
Hi
I'm at WGT rn after hearing about it in the gothy discord server.
I am a bit bored. Because I'm disabled, so I can't wander around trying to find people to chat with.
I am seeing She Past Away and London After midnight later. I also want to check out one of the parties afterwards.
Reply here please. I don't have reddit DMs on mobile browser.
