In preparation of Halloween...
My options were :
(1)Policewoman
(2)Courtesan (a.k.a whore)
(3)Mob Queen
I went to the costume shop, searching for choice(1), the fortyish sales lady nodded vigourously and showed me an NPCC uniform. I blanched. I was even willing to settle for a French Maid costume, but the the low cut bustier rack would be a tad too airy, because of my failure to fill it up.
First line of attack were your party costume stores, after spending a day scouring them - I gave up. Then on to my second line of attack, online adult lifestyle stores, most which were situated overseas. The corsets looked simply divine, especially with the enhancements C-cup bombshells. It was glaringly obvious that I wouldn't fill the pockets, as splendidly as they did, still I pushed that unfriendly thought to the back of my head.I was still willing to ship a corset set ( notice that the quest for a costume had become more like bedroom lingerie shopping trip, if I was going to spend money, I should be able to use them again right? ) but 2 weeks of shipping time weren't enough.
So I turned to the local fetish shops. Overpriced,lousy variety, musty due to unmovable stock - I felt I stepped into an 80s time warp porn show. Mullets, bad hair, platinum blond chicks with scarlett lips and black roots on the head and in the nether regions, except for appropriately placed stickers were placed to cover their genitalia and save their modesty.
Also, I suddenly realized that my cashflow wasn't exactly like last Christmas'Tsunami. I visited Tang's lingerie boudoir dressing room, and was absolutely charmed by a pink and black corset set - until I laid my eyes on the price tag. Believe me, it took a considerable amount of control not to react distastefully. I flung it away in contempt, ala Ally Mcbeal style.
Then I realized that I had a perfectly nice lingerie pinstripe lacey camisole set at home - yes, it was a devastating blow to my ambitions of donning a corset. All I had to get now were a garter belt and lacey stockings. Fish nets are too walking-the-street-corner for me.
Which I did, at a perfectly decent lingerie store.
Before this, I was thinking I'd should do Masculine in Mob, in a singlet,suspenders,pinstripe pants ( Which I have), toy tommy gun and a federro hat. And cigar for good measure. Which I'd probably be more comfortable in - then I wouldn't have cabbies leering at me. Cost wise it ranked second, but I decided to be prudent and leave that for next year.
ALERT: Girls, La Senza's has very reasonable and affordable lingerie.
Though for the stockings, I had to get it from a fetish store. I felt bad about going back to the store, because I never bought anything the last time. The sales girls obviously remembered me - but the pressing and thoroughly urgent need to complete my costume, banished all thought of embarrassment.
Last part to be completed. Satin gloves that my friends are supposed to pick up for me at traditional costume store - like, right about now :)
