I learned as a small child, beauty hurts. Perms hurt, braids hurt, waxing hurts, girdles are supposed to bind. that's their nature. And it is that binding that keeps your posture in order. You see a woman with consistently great posture, I will show you a woman with boning in her girdle.<br /><br /><br />PeaceBootzeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664655090937726673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-27800946290039383632010-11-02T07:28:32.386-04:002010-11-02T07:28:32.386-04:00I love the neckline on you!
