We're so winning!  
As far as I know, China has 7 gold medals right now. 3 in shooting, 2 in diving, 1 in weight-lifting and 1 in Judo. That's the most golds so far, and it'll probably be increased to 9 golds after the two diving events tonight. AND China has the most medals (10), beating Australia by 1 medal. w00t! I am so very obsessed with the Olympics right now. ^_^

How many people did China send to the Olympics this year? 600?

Oh, and if I haven't shown you, here's my corset-back edit for Pseudo-Jam:



The fainter black lines on the front view show where the old stripes were, and the darker lines are where the new ones would be.

On the one on the left, the corners of the ties would be kept there by something simple like little black loops or something, whereas on the right, the corners would be held by the gold belt buckles. The buckles would then be kept in place by having a short piece of ribbon go through them, and then be attached to the dress.

With either option, I can forgo a zipper or stretchy material, and can probably just use velcro in the back! ^_^ And, if after making it, the corset-ties don't seem trustable, I can just wear a shirt underneath. No biggy.

=D

P.S. - Oh, and yestery I remembered an old belt I used to have and went to look for it and rescued it from near-trash-ment. It's stretchyand has a frilly thing on both edges (like my black lace-up pants), and I figured if I could figure out how to make it stay, I could tie the tasseled cord around it on my thigh like you said. (!! ) ^_^

And also, whilst browsing, I came upon two cosplayers who'd done Moulin Rouge Diamond Dog versions of Jane of Tarzan and Cinderella, and I thought OMG that would be fun, but she talked about how she made all those frills under the dress and it sounded awfully, awfully complicated. >_<

I think China sent 403 or something around there. Not as many as some other countries. But we're kicking butt with 10 golds right now. We lost a diving medal, though. It was so sad and depressing. *sob*

And I like the new front with the new stripes! Very nice. And I like crisscrosses. Maybe I can add some to mine...
