This *cannot* be healthy....

[Cerys]

A few hours ago, I was talking to a friend about corsets.  She has a thing about them - she's planning on learning how to make them.  With this in mind, she frequently trawls the 'Net for corset-related sites.  (At least I think that's why she does it....)  On her merry surfing travels, she came across this place.

Now, these photographs are presumably not photoshopped, which leaves the burning question - how mentally stable is this woman?  What she's done to herself can't possibly be healthy!

I began corseting at age 20 at the suggestion of my former boyfriend

That's a novel right there.

[fanny splendid]

Do they remove ribs?

[Hairy Chin]

No, no no - that's not right at all. She's got the waist of a skellington - and then with the snake-eye contacts...that's the scariest thing i've seen this week.

[Schlippy]

Jaysus - a 14" waist with heels?

If she falls over she's going to snap.

[Capuchin]

It fucks up your insides.
200 or so years ago when they were all the rage, the shape they caused could lead to a lady's insides being squeezed out if she gave birth.
Nasty.

[Cerys]

Do they remove ribs?

That's the first thing I asked, but apparently not.  I keep thinking about the neck-ring tribe (can't remember their name), wherein the women who have their necks stretched have to wear the rings for life.  If this woman ever takes off her corset, wouldn't the lack of support do horrible things to her torso?

Also, how does she ever get laid?  Surely she'd snap.

Edit - Schlippy got there first with the 's' word.  Bah.

[Schlippy]

How does she ever get laid?

Dunno, but i spect if she manages it, this is what she'd do with the results.

[Cerys]

Yay for M. Maupassant!

You may well be right.  Ick, frankly.

To be a fetish model

Bitch - I'm going to make it, and I'm going to stop everyone in my way.

[Rats]

Bloody hell, fair enough if you want to keep all your wobbly bits in place but strangling your fucking twat off! That's not on. I'm sure there are safer way's of feeling constrained. And there's always one freekoid who has to go further than everyone else like that bloke tearing his arse off, he'll be there attatching his belt to a 20 ft rope to jump off a bridge, bursting like a gut firework.

[Mister Six]

I saw her - or someone as fucked up as her - on the telly once. No photoshoppery involved.

It's even scarier without the corsets.

[hencole]

Looks perfectly healthy to me.

[Lady Beany]

ARGH ARGH ARGH!!  *switches PC off and goes to sit in a dark room for a few hours*

[Rats]

God, look at the size of the fat cow. Do men do it too?

[jutl]

Looks perfectly healthy to me.

Any guesses as to which way her kidneys have gone - up or down? Perhaps one has gone up and the other down. Or maybe they're pate these days and she has a dialysis machine she bought off ebay.

[Jaffa The Cake]

Anyone who finds that attractive needs a smack in the face, as does she.

[hencole]

She should front the new 'healthy' McDonalds adverts.

[Gazeuse]

Does she have to undo it to let her dinner go down???

There is a silly sod who does this...He makes corsets in Eaton Square or something and wears them himself.

I think it's a *bit* strange.
