The Girls Only Thread

[kimery08]

i really love this thread too. victorias secret is my lifesaver. one time i tried to buy a bra online and they sent it in my size but it felt about two cups too small. i will never buy bras over the internetz again.

The only thing I've ever had from Victoria's Secret is one pair of underwear that I got for free with a voucher that came in the mail.

My very favorite underwear came from Express, but they closed the one here when I was like fifteen.

funny story about express underwear...

years ago, they used to send out those postcards that were $15 towards a purchase at express, excluding accessories. they wanted you to spend more than $15, but i was poor. so i figured that i could get a couple of pairs of underwear with the $15.

i went to the counter and the sales lady said i couldn't use the coupon cause it wasn't good on accessories. i was like "ummm, i don't know what you do with your underwear, but underwear is not an accessory". and she argued with me. i kept saying "what am i going to do, wear this on my wrist?!"

we went back and forth and i was like "i understand if y'all aren't going to take the coupon, but you have to realize how crazy it is to call underwear an accessory." they never admitted it and i didn't shop at express for years after that, lol.

Maybe the salesgirls at Express didn't wear underwear.

Maybe the salesgirls at Express didn't wear underwear.

And where would an Express be located?

Maybe the salesgirls at Express didn't wear underwear.

Then I guess when she did it WOULD be an accessory. "This outfit needs a little something extra...I know, a black thong!"

Btw, I haven't participated in this thread much at all, but I totally love it.

[amyzzz]

Yeah, that's what I meant.

[chairmenmeow47]

ok, so what about period cravings, do any of you get this? about a week before my period, i start craving chocolate shakes really bad. last night i had to stop myself from driving out to jack in the box just to get one :x

[Courtney]

Steak. Or pretty much anything with iron.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Makes sense.

you freaking rule, i love steak! i made a bomb ass steak sunday night if i do say so myself. it was one of those steaks where you have to stop and smile after every bite, lol.

[Courtney]

Omg that sounds good Ivy. I rarely eat red meat, but on Friday I had this amazing amazing amazing Argentinian-style steak stuffed with a roasted garlic/ caramelized jalapeno mixture and topped with chimichurri sauce. I am still thinking about it four days later.

[amyzzz]

I was craving old-style popcorn popped in oil today. You know, the homemade kind you make in your own oil popper. I don't even know if they make those anymore (I saw one at Fry's grocery store about 5 years ago).

[miscorrections]

oh shit that kind of popcorn is SO FUCKING GOOD

[amyzzz]

I grew up on the stuff--until we got an air popper. Then I made air-popped popcorn every day and dumped butter on it and watched way too much horrible TV. I need to get an oil popper.

[Courtney]

Can't you just use any thick-bottomed pot to pop popcorn? That's what I have done in the past.

[amyzzz]

I've never heard of that. Our popper had this stirring metal thing on the bottom of it, but I guess you can "stir" the oil around by shaking the pot every so often maybe....

edit: or using a spoon even. hehe.

[Courtney]

What I do is get a really thick-bottomed saucepan or pot. The fill the bottom with a thin layer of oil (I really like olive oil for the taste, but use whatever you like). Heat on medium heat for a couple of minutes until the oil is viscous and you can tell that it's hot. Then, add corn kernels. But the trick is that you can only have one layer, so don't add too much. You can shake it a bit so they sit evenly across the bottom of the pot but they should all be touching the bottom. Then, cover the pot and let it sit on medium-low heat until the popping has stopped (or nearly stopped). No stirring should be required, although sometimes I pick up the pot and give it a few quick taps onto the burner with the lid still on, halfway through popping, just to make sure all the unpopped kernels have gotten to the hot bottom.

[Courtney]

Wait, I don't mean viscous. What's the opposite of viscous?

[miscorrections]

not viscous.

[amyzzz]

vicious?

Thin. There's nothing more exciting, really. Here you might say "until the oil is water-thin" but that's about it.

[algunz]

I get really horny just before my period and when I'm ovulating. My husband always knows where I'm at in my cycle.

[amyzzz]

Can we trade? I got one psychotic over here for your one horny.

[algunz]

Naw, I'll keep the horny.

[Courtney]

Thin. There's nothing more exciting, really. Here you might say "until the oil is water-thin" but that's about it.

Well "thin" is not nearly as exciting a word as "viscous." How disappointing. It also wouldn't get you as many points playing Scrabble.

But thanks John.

[kroqken]

I feel so left out in this thread.

[captncrzy]

Sorry Ken. Care to show us your vagina?

[Pixiessp]

I sometimes crave chocolate when I'm premenstrual but mostly I just want to maim everyone.
