In light of Arisia and all that such entailed:

I hereby declare 2009 to be the Year of the Corset.

Thank you. Pass it on.








(Seriously, you would not believe the number of times the phrase, "We're going corset-shopping" got uttered this weekend. Not only that, but the corsetry that did get purchased tended to be of phenomenal quality and gorgeously constructed. I...yes. Just yes. As a wise person said, "This is an awfully pretty Con this year.")

I found the most perfect, stunning corset this year. But alas... it was either the corset or the art I had bid on up at the art show. And art won out. I can get a corset at anytime. This was something unique.

I agree, this year needs more corsets than last year had.

I rang in the new year in a corset... and then out of it... so i have no objection to this proclamation.

Hurrah for corsets! Both mine and other people's.

Also, they were generally very well fitted. The vast majority of the corsetry being worn (at least what I saw) did not have the too-common failure mode in which the corsetry makes the wearer look like certain body parts have been inadvertently attached upside down.

Every year should be the year of the corset. *nods decisively*
