pics!

marchek posted pictures. I feel like I need a drink just looking at them. So cracktastic! If nothing else, they certainly capture why none of us could stop laughing for more than a minute all night.

(I will be playing with photoshop on these later, both to fix flash-related abominations and because they might be funny in black and white or sepia).

Braces! Argh! (this is one of my crazy peeves).

Thank you. I love them so much, and it was such a stupid amount of fun, and still images really don't capture the sheer outrageousness of the whole thing (in part because when I dropped redstapler, marchek was messing with the settings on her camera -- good for me, bad for you.

Ack! I knew that! Sorry, I'm making dinner and playing swingball in between trying to catch up on LJ!

Also, it sounds like the hair turned out well? Not that I know what it looks like, but I read with interest your trick of pinning it under.

Yeah, it was awesome, although I never could have done it myself I'm actually going to have her do the same for the Regency thing tonight, as it's too short to reliably tie back right now.

You look utterly fabulous! I am an idiot so enlighten me - the difference between suspenders and braces is...?

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

That depends.

American English distinction is that suspenders clip on and braces button on.

British English distinction is that suspenders are what hold up your socks, braces button on (as seen in photo) and those clip on things are an abomination that don't exist.

Ah, got it. Thanks!

Entirely correct. Twice. Quite.

One of the things I love about rm is that I can get little details like this clarified. Although I like that the clippy things just. don't. exist. for the British. That's so British.

In so far as it was practical, the British ignored the Blitz. Because really.

The braces are just buster! 8D
