I've averted my eyes from this part of the calender for so long that when this morning arrived and I placed the bag o'receipts on my desk...I felt faint.
I wasn't sure I could dive right in....maybe it had something to do with my filing system....which I admit is creative.
So I checked my email for a diversion....and found a nice one.....an email from a friend with one of those...."have you seen this?"titles in the subject headings.
This is Cathie Jung....a real live 70 year old woman who has the world's smallest waist....according to the Guinness Book of records.....15 inches....the equivalent of a large jar of mayonnaise.
Apparently when she was in her 40's....she decided corseting would be an interesting diversion and...so she started wearing them in progressively smaller sizes....23 hours a day....(she takes it off for one hour to shower)...until after 25 years or so....she has dwindled down to a 15 inch waist. Her husband helps her lace up every day......and is quite proud of her.....he's an orthopedic surgeon and someone who's frontal lobe you would presume would beginning alarming at what was happening to his wife.
She's had xrays taken and apparently nothing is broken although her stomach had two choices ...drift upwards into her lungs or down into her belly....it appears to have headed south since in this picture and a few others I checked out on the web....her abdomen has a strange looking bloat to it.
There was actually a Utube interview done by some British TV folks with her.... but I thought I would be kind and spare you the post ....she seemed dull...and quite frankly dazed....of course...if I was walking around in a stiff corset for a quarter of a century....I'm not sure what my thought process would be either.
Wanting to waste a bit more time....I goggled the LGM club she mentioned....and their links....oops....
this gentleman was proud to show off his fine waist ...which was also a product of years of corset wearing.....of course further down in his blog....he describes how his Mistress canes him when he's lazy about his training...and how happy he is to receive his punishment....and ....oh ho....this is getting a bit too kinky for 8am.....
A few hits to the other links....and things were getting progressively "whippy"...."leathery"....and black....and not just in color......
I guess this week....its either sex or taxes...and at this point.....well......receipts sound a bit soothing.
