Gay and a drag queen?

Dayuuuum!

The closest I could get to qualifying for that is the time I read stories to kids in the school library back in the 80s.


well, that's exactly accurate. they still wouldn't really.....


edit: NOT exactly accurate lol

With the amount of no-holds-barred totally clinical discussion that goes on here, it's remarkable that no one is willing to just say what the heck this is about.

I give up.
If it's clothes, try classic designer patterns like Dior or Chanel. If it's bras, there are good ones out there, you just have to go to a decent store and try on all the brands -- I personally don't like Maidenform and/or Playtex. Recently I found a very soft, non-wire, comfortable one in Target of all places. Bali Bra made in Honduras, not China. I could wear it 8 hours without suffering. LOL.

I have watched this thread with mild bemusement and complete confusion. Whatever the 'ell this is for strikes me as requiring a gynecologist-materials engineer-tailor-fashion designer. Oh, and we might as well throw in an old Harley mechanic, just for the cursing and on the spot innovation abilities!

She really needs a classically trained tailor and pattern draftsman. And would like a female because... well, some of us aren't comfortable describing details of our build and shape to the opposite sex.

Hey I'm a guy but I have some experience in tailoring in a professional environment. All shapes and sizes; I also have experience in bra fitting (used to rep some bra lines in my sales rep past).
Just because we're guys doesn't mean we can't help. No butt hurt here, I understand the female to female interaction on the subject. I had one too many coolweave panties and spotting questions in the past. Yup, a discussion most definitely!! left to the ladies.

Send me a PM with her contact details, I don't know if my housemate will have time to help her this week but she is working from home and she is both a highly educated product design engineer (her current job is designing parts for water treatment plants) and she does some of the best tailoring and pattern creation of any home sewer or professional that I know.

In the SCA she herself does mostly early period garments (pretty simple) but she can make and design bodices for "unusually shaped" ladies for High Tudor and Elizabethan, and I've seen her wipe out evening wear for her sister's wedding that would cost thousands if you saw it on a catwalk.

She just said yes, please send contact details, she can't promise anything but she is willing to at the problem.

Oh, I got distracted by chatting with housemate, but she has told me stories of her job search when one company in Ireland had her come for an interview just so "we could see a women engineer as we had never seen one before."

There was no actual job opening, she was pretty angry, but her revenge has been a really good job elsewhere.
