Would any other lady be willing to come shopping with me? I have no clothes and I'd very much like some advice as to what to wear. I have a date to keep, after all.

	I would like to come along, if I may? I should like to try wearing some of those, what are they called, pants. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'd love for you to join us. The more the merrier. I can't say I enjoy wearing them much, I prefer the freedom of dresses and skirts, to feel like a lady. ~~Plus Steve's a leg man~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have been forced my whole life into 'feeling like a lady', and I think there is more to it than what you wear. I want to be my own person. Perhaps I will like them, perhaps I will not, but I want to try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let's find you some nice trousers, then :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-05-11 03:45 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps something very tight, that shows my form. I think my husband would like that, and I want to see his face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-05-11 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	I think we can do that. If you're willing to be adventurous, perhaps I should be as well. Though I can't give up my red lipstick, I'd like to try modern clothing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-05-11 03:49 pm UTC (link)
	What is lipstick? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-05-11 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	It's a sort of paint with which to paint ones lips - mostly women's - pretty colours. Most common colours are red and pink shades but my preference is for red. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-05-11 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	Then I shall have to try some of that, too! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-05-11 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	Wonderful! I can help with that part. I promise that husband of yours will fall in love with you all over again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-05-11 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! But I am most certain that happened quite nicely last night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-05-11 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, my. Erm... yes. I'm sure he does love you every night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-05-11 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	He is a lovely man. Have you met him? He is noble and lordly, yet gentle and tender, and very handsome indeed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-05-11 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	I don't believe I've had the pleasure, no. You're a lucky woman to have a great husband (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-05-11 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	I shall introduce you to him sometime. His name is Éomer, and I truly do love him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-05-11 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	I'd love to meet him :) he's a lucky man, truly. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sounds good to me. I feel like I've spent the last few months locked up in the apartment, it'll be good to have a few of us together doing stuff. Hopefully in a few more weeks I'll actually be able to fit in normal clothes again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-05-11 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	I'm certain you could fit into your clothes now, Bridget. Don't do yourself a disservice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Considering I just gave birth to two future linebackers a few weeks ago? I've still got some baby weight to lose. But thank you very much for the compliment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How are you finding motherhood? I've always wanted children... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	living_history 2013-05-11 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	Exhausting so far. :) All they do is eat, sleep, poop, and cry right now. But I wouldn't trade them for anything. I'm sure you'd make a great mom. ~~And Steve is a grade A hunk.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-05-11 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	Haha. My sister has.. had?... has children. She always spoke to me about how wonderful and terrible it was at the same time. I was never sure whether she was joking. Perhaps in a few years, if I'm lucky ~~and if I can convince Steve~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well mine aren't really at a stage where I get to 'enjoy' them yet, and I have two to deal with at the same time, so that probably changes the equation a bit.

And I would say 'has'. I don't think the times we came from really apply here, people just use 2013 for convenience since that seems to be right around when most people are from give or take a year. Though with all the Middle Earth types coming in maybe the dating system will change...

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

	I don't know what you mean by Middle Earth types but I'm from 1942. 2013... I'd be 96. Or dead. Goodness. At my last birthday I was 25 years old. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So you're my age then. Cool. Two of my great grandfathers fought in World War II.

I meant all the beings from Middle Earth, that in my world was created by an Oxford Professor named J.R.R. Tolkien for his novels the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. It seems it is a real place in some dimension, somewhere, or the elves and humans that are from there couldn't be here. ~~Just like you~~

There are so many of them now they probably are the largest subgroup here.

	I definitely need to get out and talk to people more. There's so much I've missed out on, so much to catch up on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	living_history 2013-05-11 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	Just think of it like you've moved to a new country, that's all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-05-11 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	That... actually helps. Thanks :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	living_history 2013-05-11 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	Anytime. :) We're all a bunch of immigrants. :) There are just a few groups of people that each came from the same places is all. And this is much better than where I was so I can't complain too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	offthepeg 2013-05-11 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I'm lucky that I have Steve here. I don't know how I'd adapt without him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	living_history 2013-05-11 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	You'd have been fine, just a little more overwhelmed is all. (Reply to this) (Parent)
