  • Megan Clayton,

    Leopold, I am assuming that if the sight of insufficiently-covered man boobs drives those around you to adultery (which causes earthquakes), then you are as culpable as any lightly-clad woman covered in the statement's original reach.

  • Megan Wegan,

    "Strumpet" really looks lonely without "Brazen" beside it.

    I can't picture "Brazen" without "hussy", surely.

    I'm the same, strumpet stands alone, I think. As does harlot.

    I actually got called a brazen hussy this week. I was quite chuffed.

    Of course, it's one thing to agree that it's okay to proudly carry one's body without being thought a whore.

    Tricker, is when/why/for how long it's okay to look.

    Heh. i just had an amusing moment in a cafe.

    I am celebrating boobquake in a dress and bright red lipstick. That appeared to cause some interest for a gentleman as he bought his coffee. I didn't mind. He wasn't leering, or anything. It would appear his wife/partner/friend _did_ mind though.

    She gave him a dirty look, and me a filthy one. Sigh...APB's have so much to answer for.

    I always confuse "brazen" with "brazing", and get odd visions of a scantily-clad woman operating a welding torch.

    To continue the threadjack, Braze-on hussy?

    See, for a moment I thought you meant "braising", and I was reminded of the time I was thoroughly discombobulated by the sight of a "multi-purpose branding iron" in a perfectly vanilla gift shop.

  • Stephen Judd,

    it seems like bikes are the chief means of threadjacking.

    I believe that the twin towers were brought down by thermite-packed bicycles in the basement, left by public transport activists disguised as couriers.

    That's the funny thing - it dosent. Quite the opposite. My shameless (as in Strumpet (as in blowing of ones) display has not been able to get a tectonic plate to budge a millimetre :-(
    or should it be this :-) ?

    I think you've watched 'flashdance' one too many times.

    "multi-purpose branding iron" in a perfectly vanilla gift shop.

    I'm strangely reminded of an earlier discussion about 'brand Russell'.

    Seems I got the wrong end of the schtick.

    Harlots are wanton surely?

    (I first tried to type that as wonton. Not sure what that's about, my own earthquake moment perhaps?)

    I was thoroughly discombobulated by the sight of a "multi-purpose branding iron"

    Purposes of a branding iron:

    1. Branding.
    2. ?

    Curious minds etc.

    It's cold as a bastard and been hosing down all day here, so any woman wearing anything cleavage-revealing in this weather has gotta be pretty dedicated to the cause, I reckon.

    Wontons. OMnomnomnom.

    Had that one drilled into me due to presence at Midsummer Night's Dream rehearsals:

    Tarry rash wonton! Am not I thy lord?

    ... is to be avoided.

  • Sofie Bribiesca,

    I had man-love for Willie Apiata when he walked off that plane on Friday, if that helps.

    Get in the queue, what I like about the guy is he aint interested in talking to the media mob. then....

    Mesh tank-tops are a fashion crime against humanity. Nobody looks good in the things,

    I had one or four in the late 70's and they were my dresses as well.I actually chose my bras carefully because they were completely noticeable. I thought I looked ok.

  • recordari,

    In breaking news, Magnitude 6.9 quake south of Taiwan.

    It did strike me that at least one was likely to occur somewhere. There's a magnitude 6 quake or similar every other day, according to this.

    That was clever. I posted after Emma, but got in earlier. Weird.

    Speaking of trouble... ruh-roh. On the up side, we didn't kill anyone.

    I think there's a list of things that women can look good in, and men don't. Like bikinis.

    And I suspect "woah, I can see her bra through that top!" helps.

    Indeed, that's very strange. Unless we're both hallucinating.

    The safety pins got more of the woah, I think, but everyone I knew back then had a string singlet too. That was also a dress in my wardrobe.

    Magnitude 6.9 quake south of Taiwan

    I'm impressed at the speed men are corrupted by women. Seeing as it is only just April 26th in many participating parts of the world and not only will most temptresses be sound asleep, the poor men wont even have had much of a chance to be tempted.

    Either that or kiwi women really are amazing temptresses and kiwi blokes the most APBs in the world.

    Thinking scientifically - are earthquakes more likely to occur near to the source of corruption, or can an energetic temptress cause an earthquake on the other side of the world?
