Oh my god, I'm sorry??

Well, actually, yes I am, but that's not what that text was about!
I was like, eighteen when I sent that!

[ Unsurprisingly, it's like the one thing she could have said that David almost gleefully latches onto. ]
If my mom loved ostrich feathers I swear THAT would be one thing.
But she likes them tall. And stiff. And in giant fanned-out collars.
[ The fact that it was all in black was its one forgiving feature. ]

I mean
not AS tall as an ACTUAL ostrich, but
When you're a teenager it sort of feels that way.

I hate to break it to you but couture and durability never go together.
She's the

Okay, okay. School me on vintage, then.

can it possibly involve as many rules as d&d?
probably

[ She actually... cares? That makes David pointedly uncomfortable, but also...
It's nice. To talk about things he cares about. Most people don't care at all about that sort of stuff up here. ]
Well.
The older, the more expensive, but not always the most tasteful.
Like, people are really into the whole 80's thing right now, again. For some reason.

Which 80's? The 1980s?
[
this might be infinitely easier than d&d, then
]
Where do shoulder pads sit on the tasteful spectrum?

Of COURSE the 1980's.
What, did you think petticoats came back in style?
Nowhere.
They sit absolutely nowhere.
Unless you're, like...
