Costume peeps, is there any evidence for a weskit laced up the back like that one Jamie's wearing? Seems weak under strain, and sewing in all the eyelet holes would take longer than just adding a fitting seam. Cute but dubious.

That's awful and I'm very sorry and also: dayum, your husband suffered durance vile to marry you. That's commitment.

I got a migraine too! Got through the family stuff and the formal dancing, which was not as stressful as yours but had its points, and then couldn't see for the reception. Also started throwing up. Went home. Still embarassed about it.

It's practically _My Big Fat Greek Wedding_, then. My Big Fat Northern Wedding?

I think you'll have to bring back panniers.

One of the trackers — maybe FitBit — had a privacy embarassment a while ago when people accidentally shared their (easy to deduce) sexytimes. As cardio intervals. Mayyybe they'll be smarter this time.

I've danced in chainmail and it's really hard on the joints. Heavy and the snap when it swings past you is bad for the knees.

My disillusionment of the day.

Almost everyone would actually have worn a fichu or shawl almost all the time(and a fichu is pretty much a medium-sized white shawl). Partly because Modesty but also Cold and, if you are ever going to pick anything up, the stiff bodice top is going to gape sometimes.

I did a bunch of fieldwork above Santa Cruz, in Lyme-rich chaparral, and read too much about the possible horrors. Also peered at my bits and crevices with a magnifying glass every night, and did heavy digging in gloves and spats. DO NOT WANT.

Lyme can do all sorts of wierd neurological damage — people can lose reading, speech, walking, fine motor control. The client was of course hypothesizing, but it isn't a whacky possibility.

I got one of the slightly-adhesive-chicken-cutlet backless sideless bras for my wedding, and it was ... not the most stressful thing about the day. The adhesive eventually fails, but it's been okay for three outings now. Non-outings, one might say.

Why can't I buy the adhesive to re-up my silicone nipple hiders? Is it…

I think, geometrically, your back must be larger than your front (compared to how most people are). Do you (I'm sorry) do you look a little hunchy or big-backed? In the 1750s-1830s or so girls had their shoulders tied together onto a backboard to give them *small* backs, it makes costumes of the period hard to wear…

Heyyy! Do an article on the people who sew their own bras, please, and crosspost it to Gizmodo or Lifehacker or wherever DIY goes.

if you both hold equality to be an important value in your relationship, it's possible

You could have just run the experiment in 5 minutes.

You couldn't show lawn grass? Why not?

There was also a lot of `failure to thrive'.

Have you covered the recent hack-the-breastpump conference (at MIT, I think)?

A proper tea-making machine needs two knobs, one for how hot the water needs to be and another for how long the tea steeps. I've seen a couple made commercially, but they were ugly and/or expensive.
