Question du jour...

 Anyone taken a corset with metal ribs (or whatever you call them) through TSA lately? Check-in or carry-on? I'm planning for Dallas.

In other news, last night's reading went pretty well. Form+Content has a nice show up on LGBT marriage which I recommend stopping by to check out. It's a small space with a lot of stuff in it, though, and between that and the ovenlike temperatures, the 5 person reading was a bit challenging. It was very well attended though, which is always good. While I didn't necessarily find all the work erotic, I thought it was good and often fun. My co-readers were all charming and I've been asked to read at Intermedia Arts for Pride next month. Jury's still out on whether I can fit in another reading but I'll try.

And, bonus, I got through it after a miserable couple of days at the day job and little sleep (and one terribly officious audience member who I'd be perfectly happy not to run across again, not even for the anecdotal value). Next up, WisCon - see many of you there!

I've flown with mine via both methods. Until the baggage-handlers destroyed the ability to lock my suitcases with TSA-approved locks, it went in the checked bags. Since then, and until I get new luggage, it's been traveling in the carry-on. Most of the time, TSA hasn't even blinked. The one time they did, I smiled sweetly and said "back brace cleverly disguised as costuming." Being in a wheelchair probably sold that idea and, honestly, I think of it more as a brace than being enhancement for a three-hourglass-figure.

Good to know - I think I'll risk checked and we'll see how it goes. Thanks!
