she didn’t think fast enough.
Wandering into the centre of Lille, dievca passed the French chain store NAF NAF. Years ago, when she was in Paris for the first time, she bought a great T-shirt at NAF NAF and has fond memories.
About 28 years later, dievca walked into another NAF NAF store. It’s similar to a “Morgan” or a “Zara” – a lower to mid-level young persons’ store.
dievca did the fast pass just to look at the fashion, avoiding a huge tulle dress and finding a beaded linen, v-neck t-shirt. she bought one in white and one in forest green. Success!
She and her friend made their way down two levels of stairs to pay for the tops.
In line, there was a Mamma and two daughters (around 12 and 16) with three of the poufy tulle dresses in hand. Two of the Pink and one of the Blue:
Apparently, the Mamma was going to wear one pink dress, the older girl was going with the pink dress and they were trying to get more at 70% off for a wedding party. The younger girl and others were going with the blue.
Incredibly tacky, but maybe a lot of fun.
The checkout was chaotic. The sales Lady was on the phone trying to get more dresses, the daughters were wandering around, the line was building up behind dievca. Then they opened a new line and before dievca could get around the store furniture, everyone cut in front of her~ dievca’s friend was being very patient.
dievca moved into the new line, her friend stayed behind the poufy dress chaos and they waited. And waited. Fascinated by the process of the Sales Lady stuffing these Big A** dresses into shopping bags. The lady was encapsulated by the tulle, she almost got eaten. They were so fascinated they forgot to take a photo. You will have to use your imagination.
dievca was finally able to buy the t-shirts in the original line and the flustered Sales Lady forgot to desensitize the tags. dievca managed to set-off the alarms for the next store.
That’s ok.
You know, thinking about it….the poufy dress might have been fun as a Presentation Outfit!
Diversity, dievca, Diversity!
Stripes in Summer

Striped t-shirts and dresses are always fresh for the Summer.
A Classic Look that carries from year to year.
dievca found the ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo cotton pique striped dress at Barneys, last year, and spent the money on it because its one of the few shift dresses she has been able to wear with her curves. That said, she has been wearing it in the heat. Today it is going over her swimsuit for a jaunt to the beach. With capped sleeves, a deeper “V” neckline, forgiving yet crisp fabric and pockets, it satisfies her desperate wish to wear a shift dress.
You can find the Navy Pique version at Neiman Marcus and the striped version on Poshmark.
dievca is paring it with:
Enjoy your Saturday!
Planet Claire and beyond

That meant an early bed time.
But for some reason in 1980 dievca snuck out of bed on a Saturday Night and saw this on her parent’s TV:
THE B52’S ROCK LOBSTER ON SNL SHOW IN 1980
Click the link — the video was not available on youtube.
It was her first introduction to Saturday Night Live.
(and the B-52’s)
The show was hosted by Terry Garr and had a Bill Murray SNL classic commercial “Anticipation”.
dievca was fascinated.
Why did this trip down memory lane occur?
dievca ran into this Miu Miu dress and it threw her into a B-52’s swirl, starting with a trip to Planet Claire:

Completely “Planet Claire”, right?
dievca’s envisioning a B-52’s party wearing the dress, Big teased Hair (a beehive) and cat eyes eye-liner. This could also be a really weird/fun Presentation Outfit for Master. Sassy, bubble gum, retro kinda like this
Thinkin’ ’bout ICE CREAM

Forget Myers-Briggs. How we eat our ice cream may be a personality indicator.
Maybe you are a hard-line cone person, or a no-exceptions cup person. Or maybe you can’t eat ice cream unless it’s in a milkshake or a sundae. Whatever your delivery method, a recent study from Baskin-Robbins claims it aligns with certain personality traits. The company teamed with Juliet A. Boghossian, a behavioral food expert, and found these traits.
If you prefer a cone, you are an optimist and a positive thinker. But that’s not all — the type of cone you choose says even more. People who favor sugar cones are “considered the life of the party and are funny, edgy and performers,” while those who prefer waffle cones “tend to be the host of the party, more traditional and nurturing caregivers.”
If you choose a cup, you’re a realist. Cup users are generally “analytical types who are rational thinkers.” They “are responsible, dutiful, family oriented and hardworking.”
If you like your ice cream in sandwich form, you’re an eccentric. People who love ice cream sandwiches “tend to have both strong introvert and extrovert tendencies, and they are known to be artistic, impulsive and idealistic.”
If you need toppings on a sundae, you’re ambitious. People who prefer the full sundae are “open, passionate, motivated … and loyalists who take calculated risks.”
If you just want to eat ice cream out of the carton, you’re practical. People who don’t like to fuss about an additional delivery method tend to be “resourceful, dependent, pragmatic, an introvert — and are often strong leaders.”
If you like eating your ice cream with a straw, you’re a free spirit. People who eat ice cream in milkshake form “are young at heart, fearless, athletic and more likely to take impulsive risks.”
So what does it mean when dievca likes her Ice Cream in a Fish with toppings?

Thank you to AARP for the silliness about ice cream personalities.
Gay Pride, the Beach and the Party

dievca’s friend wants to check out the Gay Pride Parade and then they will head out to Brighton Beach. dievca checked in with Master and he is lying low for the day.
The inexpensive rainbow dress from Amazon is out of the package and ready to be worn. Cheap as chips, but fun.
It’s really warm and humid, so the curly hair is up. Simple make-up. Sunscreen.
A quick change for the Brighton Beach after a couple of hours for the Parade:
And if you are wondering what dievca wore to her Party, last evening:
Hair curly, natural make-up.
Haute Hippie Dress
Etienne Aigner Sandals
Friends came and went, some stayed until beyond Midnight and dievca’s visiting friend, true to her age (20 years younger than d.), – went clubbing at Vandal afterward.
dievca? she went to bed.
What are you doing on your lovely Sunday?
Not breaking Fashion rules: finally understanding why
Posted: May 28, 2018 Filed under: Discussion, Dresses, Fashion | Tags: D/s, dievca, Elegant, erotic, Helmut Lang, Leather, Life, NYC, Presentation Outfits, rules, Shopping, Slave, Slip Dress, submissive 4 CommentsThere was a time when people stuck to the rule that white clothing was only “allowed” between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
In the early 1900s, the rule about only wearing white between Memorial Day and Labor Day was started according to the vacationing schedule of the elite, when there “was a dress code for practically every occasion.” Those who could afford it would leave their homes behind and spend months at the sea or in the mountains, where they had a completely different type of wardrobe, including the light, bright white pieces most associated with the summer months. When those fun-loving summer days were over, the white clothes were packed away and the people went back to their regular lives, having escaped the oppressive heat between the end of May and early September. Those white clothes that they loved during the summer months had no place in their “real life” wardrobes, so the cutoff for white clothing became Labor Day.
Nowadays, you may have started wearing white on the first 90F (32 C) day of year or earlier.
dievca thought she still avoided wearing white until after Memorial Day because it was the “rule”, but she finally realized that she uses white sparingly—period, because….its New York City.
Can you imagine how dirty this Helmut Lang Leather Slip Dress would get?
And that is the true reason dievca doesn’t really break the “white” rule.
Happy Memorial Day! (and wear white for dievca)
What to wear…killed the moment
Posted: May 23, 2018 Filed under: Discussion, Dresses | Tags: BDSM, Clothing, D/s, decisions, dievca, Elegant, fashion, gala, Hudson River, Life, NYC, Spring, submissive, Summer 12 CommentsSo dievca bought a dress, in the Fall, from a Canadian designer, Eliza Faulkner – she had seen someone in the dress during NYC fashion week and loved it.
It’s cotton and great for warmer weather.
And then Melania Trump made a speech on Bullying – wearing a $3000 hot pink dress. Killed dievca’s desire to wear the dress…but she needs a dress for a Gala this evening and she is digging through the closet.
Weather: 63 F to 82 F, partly cloudy, will be on a boat – breezy. Evening.
Here are some of the choices (click on an item for greater detail):
The two darker green dresses are of heavier material, the pink and the light blue are 100% cotton, the red is silk, the light green is a cotton/poly blend, the Missoni is a mix of wool, silk, poly – etc. All are lined. I have shoes for them all and coats/jackets. Hair up or it will blow everywhere~
If you can give dievca some input, she would greatly appreciate it. dievca is uncharacteristically at a loss. Her brain is fried~
