I have been keeping up with current events, in my own quiet way. I think the bombing in Spain is tragic, to say the least - I think what must be most frightening for Madrid tonight is that they still aren't sure who's responsible. Also interesting news that the U.S. may be about to be attacked again. I say "interesting" because there have been so many "cries wolf" in the form of orange alerts and powder that turns out to be industrial solvent that I'm not sure what to think - I figure if something's going to happen, it will, and no amount of stressing on my part is going to make me that much safer.

On a lighter note, I found Big 4 Our Britches Fencing Gear through fencing and am quite tickled by some of the shirts, mainly the Nine Lives Fencing Club.

Michael Manning's fetish costume designs - This guy is a comic book illustrator who has made some of his character's clothing reality; I think I've seen some of it in one of the Beauty of Fetish books (the kimono in the Spider Garden gallery). [Le sigh}... It's a further reminder that I need to learn to work with latex one of these days (right after I learn smithing, leatherwork, shoemaking...)
