Ooooh, pretty! :D

Hehhehheh.
I have lingerie. Pretty lingerie. Pretty wedding lingerie. Mmmmmm damn it looks spiffy.
Note to self (and readers): Do not overlook a store just because the name seems a little... odd, or... possibly pr0n-ish. "Sassy Lassie" in Queanbeyan is neither kinky nor anything to do with naughty filmstar dogs. :D
"Stephanie's Boutique Lingerie", on the other hand, can bite me. Oh, you run out of "those sizes" practically instantaneously so the only way I am likely to get anything bigger than a size 10B from you is to obsessively phone you every day until you receive your shipment, then get Da Handsome Fiance to drive me in on my lunch hour and pray I'm in time? Have you ever thought of, I don't know, ordering more of these obviously popular sizes FFS?!? And no love to the sales woman who assumed I wanted a bustier/corselet to "squeeze myself down", recommended their 'control' bodysuits, and described them as "they look horrible but they work miracles".
News flash, beeyotch: SIZE FOURTEEN IS NOT OMG OBESE. Bustiers and corselets are SEXY, not the full-body version of control-top pantyhose. And I was shopping for lingerie to LOOK GOOD IN for my soon-to-be-husband, not an ugly tan thing that looks like an abbreviated wetsuit so that I could squeeze myself into a too-small dress and pretend to be a size 10 because god forbid I have curves. The hand gestures pantomiming rolls of fat as you directed me to the control thingies were just icing on the fat-free muffin of your insults.
*ahem* Wow, the mood of this entry changed fast. I was kinda ticked off at that woman. No sales for her!
To bring this back to the "yay happy": We went to Sassy Lassie and discovered that although it was technically past closing time, she had late shoppers and was happy to let us in (I asked). The woman there is friendly, helpful, very good at measuring you and producing the perfect size first time, she clearly believes in stocking a decent range of sizes, and you bet I'll be going back there to get more! (There was this really good looking corselet, mostly black with white lace and accents, mmmm...)
