I think of them as mostly annoyingly twee, but not "I feel bad for how bad you are at dressing yourself" like one of those little loving pretend tiny askew tophats

I think it depends on who's wearing 'em: a fiteen year-old is cute, if you're 25, you're a closet furry.

honestly I'm pretty easy-going on what other people choose to wear, especially women, especially if they're going "gently caress you, society that says I can't wear cargo shorts!" even if cargo shorts are bad

but what makes me place corsets in the fedora camp is 1) they look like rear end and 2) they're associated with internet subculture and all that entails. like, a cat hoodie tells me you have taste like a middle-schooler, a corset means you probably want to tell me about WoW or Homestuck

*exception for dressing up skanky for sex times, then Frederick's of Hollywood away

a dog collar means you're going to tell me about your furry boyfriend and your self-diagnosed bipolar within two minutes of talking to you

I did once politely chat with a friend of a friend who wore such a collar and told me literally within five minutes that she's soooo into BDSM

(for guys reading: this was not a traditionally attractive woman, not one bit, so put your boners away)

I do not morally object to how much B to the D to the SM you do, but I don't loving care! I don't care at all!!! not unless I am loving you at exactly this second!!! why do you feel the need to tell me about it? you're not getting a reaction from me so go try to flip a nun or something

I did some design work for a burlesque troupe, and can tell you first hand that people who wear corsets and fascinators are mostly insufferable. The ladies in the troupe weren't that bad, but good god, the people who came to their gigs were embarrassing.


Girls who wear dog collars always, always, want to tell you far too much about their sex lives, and they're never people you want to imagine having sex.

expectation:



reality:



(i'm sure she's a nice lady, my point is purely fascinator-based and the failure of a fascinator in real-life scenarios as opposed to fashion mags and on stupidly wealthy people. in a way she is the primary victim here because a very wrong subset of humanity convinced her that fascinators look good.)

I could probably slap together a hilarious fascinator with stuff I have laying around the house. It would amuse me, and I'd probably have fun putting it together, but I'd have the good sense not to go outside or leave photographic evidence

My sister is married and going to have her first, so I don't get the "you have to carry on the line!" anymore.

...if I hadn't already reacted to every marriage inquiry with a loud and happy discussion about my abortion.

I took my wife's last name because my bio dad is a wife beating douchebag. I kinda forget to tell people before the wedding and had my name announced as my new wife's name. Confusion reigned.

Her family was really surprised and pleased because they don't have men in this generation and they did more for me than my rear end in a top hat ever did.

I'm pretty sure this is what people do when they make fascinators to sell on Etsy for hilariously over the top prices

Hey fellow ladies I heard you like animals. Putting tiny dogs in sweaters seems like a girl thing to do.

in order to get an ins with the ladies as a pua, you have to cut your balls off. we can smell testosterone and it just triggers a fight or flight response in us.

back home we have the worst cat ever... I love her but she is seriously, seriously bad

my mom rescued her from some train tracks but that cat ain't never been right

it hisses and spits and yeowls and wants exactly four pats, no more or it will bite the christ out of you, it wants to sit near the tub but if you move it will scratch your face, it has hosed up all the banisters, it gets hair in endless places, it will walk up to the keyboard and bite your hands, it will hide and scratch your ankles as you walk by, it will run up to houseguests and bite their ankles, seriously the worst
