I should have asked - do you ever use your sword ? When Mòrag was in university she used to do "medieval combat" which basically involved trying to hit people with swords.

Ok, stop with that. You know you're beautiful, and we all know that folks like you are supposed to feign modesty, and we're supposed to fawn over you to convince you otherwise.

Let's just dispel the whole act, there's you, look in the what do you look like thread and there's us. This is SRP as a whole and we all rock the casbah!

Do you wear them daily? etc. Anything you feel like throwing in to educate us on the use of corsets will be welcomed. Seriously I'm not looking for "well, they're sexy" but I think you probably got the point there lol.

LOL Historically corsets were worn to change your body shape. I can tell you the why and how longs for me, but everyone is different. I'm not training my waist, so I don't wear one everyday but I would seriously consider it. If you do a comfort comparison on bra's V's corsets I would have to vote for the corset.

With a bra it is your shoulders that are taking all the weight, so to speak. But with a corset the support comes from underneath which is a lot more comfortable in my opinion.

The second reason I wear mine is when my back plays up, old injury. So when I can't move around properly due to lower back pain I strap myself in which gives me a good posture and doesn't aggrivate the injury. Wearing a corset makes you think differently about how you move. You have to think about how to sit down, you can no longer bend at the waist so it's all down to your hips and knees.

The longest I've managed to wear one for is about 5 1/2 hours, I don't know if that is good, bad or average! LOL

If you have any more question Alex, fire away.

I love corsets and stocking etc. Pity I look such a complete and utter berk in them.......

So you're Riff Raff not Frankenfurter then...

My vote goes for Frankenfurter. Now there was a guy who looked hot in a corset and stockings.

Continuing the topic drift. My first RHPS I went dressed as Riff Raff and was volunteered by my lovely wife (then just girlfriend) and her friend to go up on stage to be deflowered

Since then I've usually gone dressed as Frank - the first time I dressed in heels etc I came down the stairs and Morag asked "Is there something you think you should tell me ?" - apparently I have less trouble walking in heels than she does.
