dissertation dilemmas

While the idea of a month in NZ is lovely, I'm afraid it's realistically going to be too expensive (unless I stayed in a hostel, and I can't do that, I'll go insane). New idea: the bodily technique and meaning of corset-wearing. I can do that in the UK, and I can have a huge amount of fun at any Voller's seller for a tenth the cost of a month in Auckland. So, it's early days yet, but how many of you would be willing to talk to me sometime in March about a) goth shopping or b) the wearing of a corset or c) the observation of the corset-wearing of others? If you don't want to volunteer in public please email or PM me.

That would be fantastic, absolutely fantastic! Especially since I think you've constructed for the stage, yes? I'm thinking performance and performativity is going to be part of what I look at, so that would be amazing.

yep can discuss/illustrate the differences between a dance "corset"for movement, a fashion corset and tight lacing. If you feel like spending an afternoon having lunch and going over stuff at my home work shop let me know, any weekday besides Tues/thurs is good between noon and 22:00.(you can always stay overnight at mine if you want to come after class and stay in London)

That would be great. I need to get my idea approved first, but it shouldn't be a problem (assuming I can find someone to supervise it, which I will get on immediately), so it might be a month or two before I get to it.

Sounds good. Let me know. Also I have lots of books on corsets to raid, uhm,I mean borrow.
