You beat me to it.

I'm going to make an argument for red panda cubs to be added to your list. Behold!

Tigers are irresistible! OW OW OW

Me three. We're toast.

I love how from the waist up, she looks like she's headed to a business meeting. But from the waist down? A 1980's mime troop.

If I get the raise I'm expecting, I'm buying one.

I have no earthly idea. The fabric would cost me more than this, if I was to make it myself. I do live in a place where there is a monthly Victorian fancy-dress ball, so I conceivably have an excuse to wear such things ... not that I think I could actually dance in this!

Nope, it's brand new. They have a glorious amount of period clothing; click here. Scroll down and see page two as well for the really good stuff. I kinda want everything.

I would absolutely wear that. In fact, I'm seriously thinking of buying this:

Perhaps the dress forms made for industry are better than the ones available to home sewers. Those are the ones I'm referring to, although I can see it wasn't clear. I've owned three dress forms, buying them hopefully each time, but gotten rid of them all.

I'm fully convinced that no standard dress form of any size accurately represents a human shape. They are the most useless things.

I have done this. It was ... less than successful.

Even at the time, people knew they didn't smell so fabulous. That's why they carried pomanders! More info, and how to make your own, here.

Let me just assure you that people did wash everyday. They just didn't submerge themselves in giant pools of water. Washing was more of a sponge bath with a small basin of water. When people "bathed whether they needed it or not" they meant a big tub and getting wet all over all at once. Most folks didn't have the…

A+ for the Buffy reference!

Seriously! Make up your minds, pearl-clutchers. You're making me all dizzy.

I seriously want a goat.

Also, milk can transmit some diseases, like TB. If you have a cow with TB, anyone drinking the milk could also get it. That said, I do believe if you own a cow, you can drink the milk in whatever way pleases you. But if you're going to insist on drinking raw milk, I believe goat's milk is supposed to be safer.

You are brilliant. And I want some fropcorn.

Or, if you live in the SF Bay Area, you can see THIS tiger cub instead!
