CORSET DEAL SALE!!

Corset Deal is having a 50% off sale Monday as well. <-- CLICKENZE LINK!

Now, I've written off Corset Deal, but my silent useless protest if over prices and not any other grievance. They USED to be absolutely amazing. They sold (and still do sell, mind you) PROPER corsets - steel-boned, high-quality, corsets made of durable yet beautiful fabric - at astoundingly low prices. These are NOT fashion corsets just for show. I'm talking a serious reinforced satin underbust waist cincher WITH a cute little matching skirt for FIFTEEN DOLLARS. Or a gorgeous, sturdy brocade corset with solid metal hardware for THIRTY BUCKS. Or a real leather overbust with stunning detail (and that cute matching skirt, too) for less than 100 bucks. This was the place where merchants at ren faires purchased their stock to resell for 120+$.

It seems like they were bought out, though, because several months ago their website got a major redesign and lo! suddenly their prices jumped by 4-5 times and they match every other retailer's now. What used to sell for 15-40$ now sells for the standard 80-120$. Alas. The cheapest corsets they currently have going are painfully plain solid color overbusts for 40$ on sale - but hey, at least they're still steel boned. AND it seems the bastards don't do the matching skirt anymore at all! Those amazing wholesale-esque prices simply cannot be found anymore.

BUT BUT BUT! This sale is about halfway back to the glory days prices. They do have more variety now, too, so it's worth a look if you're in the market (who isn't?!?!). Notably, their supply of "steampunk" type stuff has skyrocketed, which some people will applaud. I can't attest to the quality of their newer stuff, though, as I have refused to buy from them since they changed, but from what I can tell the stock is mostly the same; I see a lot of the same items that they used to carry. And the staples that were always there were most definitely sturdy. They still include the schematics for most of their corsets, so it looks like they're probably as serious about quality as they used to be.

Even though they don't offer legit corsets for stupidly cheap anymore, this current sale looks like better prices than you'll find most places. It's not a throwback to the glory days, but they've got some good deals going right now. If you're in the market for a corset, then you know how soul-crushingly expensive they can be, but this sale can offer you a bit of relief. Check it out!

Edit: HOLY COW! I just took a closer look at their leather selection, and even their non-sale prices are some of the best around! If you're looking for a leather corset, get over there now!!

OMG I AM ALIVE also ELF 50% OFF SALE!

I've been neglecting you, I know. I'm sorry, and I missed you too. But I have excuses!! I had to plan and then go through with a wedding and a honeymoon! Yap, I got married. It was pretty cool, and, naturally, done on the cheap. (Maaaaybe I'll do a post on it some day!) I married myself a rocket scientist... no joke! Well, actually, he'd tell you that, ahem, he's a missile scientist, and that's harder and more complicated than rocket science. He IS by far the smartest person I've ever met. He's also somehow simultaneously cute and sexy as well as funny and just the right kind of nerdy, like me.

ANYWAY I'M NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

Thanksgiving means sales! Wait, it doesn't? Yes it does, these days anyway. Alas
