And you think bras are uncomfortable...

One of my favorite historical authors, Deeanne Gist, appeared in the Wall Street Journal this week showing off her underwear. Okay, her Victorian underwear. At a recent writers' conference, Romance Writers of America, she gave an demonstration on how a Victorian woman would have gotten dressed. It took over an hour. You can see the article and video here. And be grateful it doesn't take you that long.

A slideshow of the seminar with Deeanne putting on Victorian dress can be found here.

History for 100, Alex

I saw this on Georgiana's blog and it cracked me up. Since I have a Bachelor's in history I had to take it.

You Passed 8th Grade US History

Congratulations, you got 7/8 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade History?

Whew! It'd be kind of embarrassing if I didn't pass. Of course now I'm wondering which question I missed. I have a suspicion it was one of their questions that I thought was wrong anyway!
