My mind is skittering around like my subject-line today. Meanwhile, it's a perfect day out there, warm and calm, and I'd love to just go for a long urban hike and let the sun melt my foolish cares away. Instead I'll be in meetings all morning. Such is working life. I guess the meetings will focus my grasshopper mind in another way.

Your subject-line reminds me, fondly, of Ted Johnstone's comment on CoAs -- "Fans hop around like fleas on a hot girdle" (and I'm pretty sure that last word wasn't a typo).

But yeah, there do come days like that.

Funny how archaic the word "girdle" seems now!

Yup. Actually, it was becoming archaic even then, c. 40 years ago. OTOH, "corset" seems to be having something of a come-back, though mostly as an item of ornamental external attire -- which strikes me as being a bit incongruous.

Good point. Will the girdle make a comeback as a piece of fetish-wear? Maybe it already has, and I just haven't noticed.

I believe the girdle always has been an item of fetish-wear but only amongst a relatively small number of fetish-wear fanciers. besides which there is just now way to make a girdle look stylish, unlike the corset.
