corset=femme!

July 13, 2010 tinybitfemme

my friend is getting married, so i went corset/bustier shopping with her. but secretly i wanted one. i tried a few on. one of them just wouldn’t let me walk away. it makes me skinny! it looks HOT! it’s pinstriped and looks good with a skirt and heels, or with jeans. i wore it out. to the bar. dayum. is all i’m saying.

but seriously? a corset? yeah, it sucks you in. it braces all the right parts and squishes all the right (or is it wrong?) parts. makes me have a waist. highlights my assets. but. corset?! it’s so retro. the thing is so tight and so … strong… when you’re in it you don’t realize, but as soon as you pull the tie to loosen it? the sudden rush of oxygen is such a high that you realize you haven’t breathed in 4 hours. it’s so … victorian. antifeminist. silly.

anyway. i don’t know what it means. but i like it and it feels good to look good. and sometimes that’s all a girl needs.

  Kim, I totally love corsets. I think they are feminine and can be quite empowering when you are looking so sexy!!

  Recently found my love of corsets as well. Never thought of it as retro, victorian or anti feminist…anything female is feminist….we are the new regime…

  Great post!
