If you're like me and wear chunky platform combat boots, or even regular docs and deal with sore feet, (corns and bunions etc) I have a small piece of wisdom for you.
Y'know the padding inserts for sports bras???
They are a life saver!
Put them over or around the area that's bothering you and then put your socks on, I know you can also buy padded socks, but this is honestly a life/feet pain saving hack and the socks are only padded around the heel and arch of the foot
Also you can't feel them once your boots are on, trust me, I've been doing this for the last few days and it actually works!
so like I said to my grandad about how I liked garak and showed him a picture of garak, he thought I meant julain and was like “aww that’s a cute young lad” and then I was like “no grandad the lizard is the sexy one” and I had to write down EXACTLY what he said because ohmyword it was perfect.
“I thought he was a bit queer, that he had quite a kinky edge to him, but that must be the appeal.”
hello! i have been trying to find some research on sarashi, but couldn't exactly find out if sarashi was still used in the 2000s in japan. would you happen to know if they still used sarashi or was the 2000s modern enough for women to switch to sports bras and other alternatives?
alternatively, would you also know if chest binders were a thing in japan in the 2000s as another alternative?
sorry if this question is weird :,] thank you tho if you answer it!
Hi! Technically you could still use sarashi nowadays, some people do! In fact, it depends what you refers to as sarashi: the long piece of cotton which can be used to cut diapers, towels etc? Or the undergarment?
Sarashi as undergarment probably fell out of fashion because kimono fell out of fashion - and in both case were mostly replaced by Western style garments. Tbh, I only can fathom sarashi in the 2000's being used by veeery old people, during traditional events like festivals.. or by yankee delinquants wanted to look like yakuza xD
Nowadays, modern undergarments are far more easier to put on and wash + often comfier (think tech fabrics like breathable/heat textile for ex.).
Women who often wear kimono have been using kimono bra (着物ブラジャー or キモノブラ) which look something like this:
You can see how the shape is quite similar to sport bra and binders, though material is much less constrictive.
The main point of those bra is that they have inner "pockets" you can pad to fill out your figure in order to achieve a clean kimono silhouette. Pads are for ex. often added to collarbones area, see the half moons shapes on this model:
This is just part of aaaaaall the padding which can be used in kimono fashion:

Note that extreme padding was not as much of a thing before kitsuke dressing schools rose (=after kimono stopped being worn everyday by the majority of people).
Personally, I (and most of tiddy owners kimono wearers I know) use sport bra or bralette + ditch most padding* - even if it means getting a "messier" kimono line.
*I usually only pad my spine area which is pretty curved, but even then padding is not as dramatic as this one ^^;
So, keep in mind that using padding or not is pretty much up to you and depending on your body type and how confortable you are with not looking like a perfect tube (=the "dream" shape in kitsuke school kimono fashion).
sorry but min heejin is a legitimate pedophile who has stated brooke shields as her inspo and has pics of children in the nude on her walls. i hate jaden as much as the next guy but he is not as genuinely awful and disgusting as min heejin is. and i dont want people minimizing how dangerous she really is, esp w the weird undertones of sexualization she inserts into nwjns lore… so many people turn a blind eye 😞
IDK whether it's fair to say that she's a legit pedophile but its not like its relevant tbh. I think she sees the profitability of pedophilic marketing and will endanger children for her aesthetic vision which includes sexualising children. IDK if its her sexual preferences or just her tastes (is lana del rey a pedophile for aestheticizing lolita, i don't think so) but honestly? Has jaden not done the same thing? Love cherry motion and uncover were overtly about losing your virginity and choerry was 16. Hyeju's egoist dance was massively age inappropriate. Yeojin's song about consent is just very creepy esp with the foot stuff even if there's nothing overtly sexual like LCM or Egoist. Favorite was a disgusting nightmare of fetishizing schoolgirls. Jaden is definitely not innocent in this regard.
I 100% agree with you about not understating the importance of how dangerous she and her age inappropriate treatment of underage girls is for the record. Honestly I don't really agree with comparing the two - they both suck bad, end of story.
John: forgot my night time garlic bread in the oven for the length of 2 mythbusters episodes and when i opened the oven door it was so thoroughly cremated that i was blinded not by smoke and ash but what surely must have been its Soul as well
maybe it’ll be weird to know but ur like a Name, a Fixture in my household (read: my wife and I + I guess my dog but he can’t read yet he’s only 4). Like I’ll be like “hey babe guess what new garaks-padded-bra post just dropped” . A joyous occasion , thanks for sharing the art and shenanigans
This ask has brought me immense joy for several days but now I must release it to the world like a baby bird
Providing good wholesome entertainment since 1947.
Upon returning from WW2, Frederick Mellinger brought home the idea of selling a sophisticated European style of lingerie to women. Unsuccessful in New York, he moved out west and opened his doors on Hollywood Boulevard, where he was an instant hit with film stars. He invented the padded bra in 1947 and the push up bra, "The Rising Star" the following year.
