Your song link is a 'windows explorer cannot connect' page.

Nice corset.

I tried switching the links for the song. I just think whatever force in the universe that represents good is trying to save you from it.

My friend has that exact corset for Civil War reenactments. She's a rather friendly sort of camp-follower (Read: prostitute) in them, so I thought that it was possible that Mae could have gotten one just like it.

Historically, almost EVERY woman would have had a corset then. The Civil War coincides with when they were just begining to be mass produced, and some manufacturers were experimenting with early steel bones and front busks which made them much cheaper and easier to get in and out of without help.
In many ways not owning one would be like someone today not owning a bra. It wouldn't be a social status issue, it would be a deliberate statement about the garment itself (or maybe because someone had a job that made it impossible to wear, like working in a field, etc).

Sorry, I make corsets and I'm kind of obsessed with historical corsetry.

Poor Anders looks so angry in the last panel.

-Re-reads comment-
It sounds like I meant she had a corset b/c she was a prostitute. Which isn't what I meant at all. ^_^
I just meant I know that she has that corset, so it would be available at that point and time to anybody.
I figured Mae wouldn't wear one with the rolling around, climbing over stuff, horseback riding, and general madcap-ness of being a bounty hunter. Alistair would feel the need to comment, b/c he'd never seen her in one despite having seen her naked quite a bit by this time. :D
And it's certainly okay to tell me these things, constructive criticism is always welcome. I promise you I try to think about them, but sometimes flights of fancy take o'er. :D

Oh no, I thought you were saying they were expensive/rare and she wouldn't have one because of that. And I was agreeing that yes, anyone who had spent any time living in a city or whatever might pass for society would have a corset since they were wicked common at that point and starting to become very cheap.

(and the idea of riding a horse in a corset... ouch. I know it was done, there were actually specially made corsets just for that cut higher on the hip. But... I wear them more than probably 99% of the population now and still makes me wince to think of it.)

[scarylady]

And now you've lost your cut. The whole thing is on the front page.

[cave_fatuam]

Fixed. Pfft. It's going to be one of those days isn't it?

[twist_shimmy]

Laughing so hard at Alistair's dialogue. :D

[cave_fatuam]

I don't get to do wibbly cute Alistair enough. He's an absolute doll :D
