What's on your mind?

Dmitri doesn’t sound very womanly. I fear there may be a switcher-roo. Proceed with caution.

O_O


... Eh. If I can handle claws from her that once cleanly severed my right hand (and due to the superhuman fungal disease that he contracted in the previous game but managed to adapt to without turning into a mindless monster, our returning protagonist Ethan Winters was able to reattach it with no lasting problems using just a bit of healing medicine - don't ask; the RE universe lately really makes little sense ), then I think her actually being a man or something would hardly shock me.

On a side note, apparently a lot of my male fellow RE fans have taken a liking to this Lady Dimitri. Really, really tall and overbearing women must be some people's cup of tea, I guess .... but, add in the fact that she drinks blood - and cut my hand off on top of that - is really the kind of thing that just tends to repel this knight, personally.

A clearly wicked face, doth not stir the heart of Sarah's Knight to wide-eyed adoration and love.


... But maybe it doth stir my heart to a life-or-death duel with her.


But now that I think about it, perhaps her sense of fashion would align with yours, Bella? I figure the hat would, at least. ^-^

That’s a big woman! You have your hands full.

Some really dig the Amazon type. Remember Xena?

The hat is stunning. I’ll always love glam. But I adore a soft aesthetic now. Like the one I shared above. Elegant…ethereal…and vulnerable.

I question how many guys are into Lady Dimitrescu. Could be a marketing gimmick, one of those things where they focus on a vocal minority to attract attention. There are men into taller women, older women, etc. but the overbearing nature and torture aspect is not a common appeal. Anyways, their mansion looked incredible, the lighting and detail was awesome.

I agree. That’s a different energy.

When you've walked through Soho and the West End as often as I have, you learn to be a lot more open minded. Literally NOTHING can shock me anymore.

Criticism in context is fine. So long as it helps legitimise the individual's credentials and is delivered with an affirming undertone.

I personally don't criticise when potential isn't there. And I like that to be apparent. I only do it when someone is about to have a breakthrough and they need that last layer of polish.

From what I've heard, major cities are a beacon for... eccentric people.

Indeed.

You develop an indifference towards it very quickly. I've spent a lot of time in Amsterdam too, so I've literally seen it all. It all just blends into a monochromatic haze now. Which is good, it means I can take sketches of architecture for paintings, keep calm and carry on.

I was in Europe very briefly so I didn't see too much of Amsterdam other than the architecture. The old cities are beautiful.

Yeah, that's basically what I was trying to say.

On the plus side, apparently her character has paved the way for some rather lovely cosplay.

I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. That’s the best way to begin.

Yep, I'm just playing the game in demo mode at the moment. If I can beat the market consistently, then I'll consider putting some real money on my trades.

My daughter does crypto. She’s up 7 and pulled out her principle. I made her do it. The rest is gravy and you can see where it goes.

LOL! How is she going to learn if you won't let her make mistakes? Although it's obviously better to make mistakes with a demo account than with a live account. I have demo accounts with several different brokers, and the one I'm using at the moment doesn't even let retail accounts trade Bitcoin. To trade Bitcoin with them, you have to prove you're a professional, which means having massive amounts of capital.

There's a lot of scams and scammers in this field. Everything from dodgy brokers, who seem fine until you try to withdraw your money, to trading 'gurus', many of whom are probably just failed traders, and are simply selling on the same useless strategies and training courses that they themselves previously got scammed for.

Be particularly careful with offshore brokers. Many are operating under jurisdictions that readily issue regulatory approval with little to no standards or checks. The certification from brokers operating in those jurisdictions is worth less than a single sheet of toilet paper. And in some jurisdictions it's possible to lose more money than you deposited.

Thanks to princesscore, you can wake up and don a gown and no one judges you.

Why bother wearing jeans when you can look like this?

That is quite pretty. I think the aesthetic itself is great.

That’s a wise approach. Many jump in ill prepared.

I did it for a living and know her risk tolerance. She still has $7K to play with and needn’t worry about losses.

Many get in over their head and lose a lot. She’s done her homework and chosen well. I don’t manage it for her. She was taught to mind her finances at an early age if she wants to invest. Professional help or not.

It’s ridiculously cute! You know I want one now.

Kidding aside, I like the new themes. We need more women in ball gowns and tiara’s. One of my classmates made Cinderella’s dress for Halloween. She looked amazing. I’m using it as an opportunity to have fun and hone my skills.

I’m leaning towards a historical and vintage aesthetic as my norm. Regency works great for day and evening wear. Many Edwardian pieces are ideal for professional settings. The jackets are gorgeous. In modern times, 1950s is perfect and uses a similar silhouette. You’ll be able to wear a corset and petticoat.

If this sounds crazy I’m not the only one! There’s a lot of us.

It's a good list. But I don't think everything in the 'deadly' list is necessarily always negative. For example, constructive criticism can be very nurturing and helpful. And some people might like having little incentives in place to help them to achieve their goals. I think the way things are done is much more indicative of whether a relationship is loving or abusive, than exactly what is done. Some people always act with love and respect in their heart, and others don't.

Speaking of, that is why the clearly angelic (and sort of mischievous ^-^ ) face of one Miss Erin does stir the heart of Sarah's Knight to wide-eyed adoration.

@JustSomeBloke, that's hilarious! I was swooning over the guy from the afternoon tea video. His voice is soothing.

@Tone, The Big Muff track is hot! That's the mashup you wanted. I posted it earlier.
