Mornings in the mirror
how can I still be wondering how girls are so pretty?!?
(I am one, dang, I should be used to seeing boobies…)

Love this Summer dress
I’m in love with the minutia. The little pieces of you that you don’t think about, that aren’t considered, or filtered, or self censored. The parts that just seep through the cracks, the things that you’ve done a million times, and you’ll do a million more, that same way, that way that’s so quintessentially you.
I’m in love with the way you get dressed. The way you tie your hair back, and the way you eat your morning cereal, and the way you chew your lip before you excuse yourself to go the bathroom.
I’m in love with the way you look at me, as if you’re always about to ask a question, or trying to figure out what that question should be. How you walk. How you talk. The way your mind meanders and you stop yourself, before forcing a smile and starting over again. The way you smell.
I’m in love with these things because they’re just as much you as the grand things, the huge towering monoliths of you that you have chosen to erect, have built and built so that you think they’re going to obscure the other things, the little parts that don’t have quite the same stopping power. And they are impressive, and I love those too. But without those tiny things, the minutia, it would all come tumbling down.
They’re the supports, the struts. The girders that hold everything up.
I love me some girders.

He liked to watch her, but he didn’t want her putting on a show. So he would keep out of sight, and hopefully out of mind. At least, the forefront of it. He was always dwelling somewhere in her subconscious.
She liked to be watched, but she knew what he wanted, so she’d put it from her mind. Try not to make it too obvious she knew, allow the seed of doubt to survive.
But she’d still put on a show, just a subtle one. She couldn’t help it.

►Corset Wednesday
“Scanned from stereoscope card, copyrighted 1899 by T. W. Ingersoll.
Original caption:
REDUCING THE SURPLUS. “NOW PULL HARD!”
A small waist between a full bust and ample hips, such is the shibboleth of fashion, and the poor girl that relies on her figure to make a good impression, is sorely put to it, if nature has denied her the shape of a wasp or if she has not learned to rely on physical exercise to model her frame. A vigorous walk of ten miles a day, supplemented by ten minutes of lung gymnastics, would do wonders for her.”
