Ta da!
And crossposting from DW to LJ is enabled!
What I've done for now is set it up so comments on LJ are disabled, and everyone who was on my friends list on LJ has commenting access on DW with Open ID. DW has a little guide to setting up Open ID here. Basically, what it does is allow you to comment on things using your ID from one site at other sites. It's super easy to set up -- do not be afraid of Open ID.
I'll still be reading my friends list at LJ and participating in comms, etc. there. It's just that all my entries will be posted at DW and mirrored on LJ without comments.
If you already have a DW account, please comment on this entry and I'll add you here. I have five DW codes to give out, so if you'd like a DW account, please comment and I'll pass a code along to you.
ETA: I unlocked this post at DW and I have anonymous commenting enabled, so if you don't want to do the Open ID thing and just want a journal creation code, comment anonymously, but let me know who you are on LJ.
Oh, and I apparently have SIX! journal codes to share at DW, so strike while the iron is hot, folks!

Random Question for you:
(Anonymous) 2010-09-06 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)Re: Random Question for you:
I did get a Uniquely You form, and I like it a lot. Fitting the cover is challenging, and it helps to have a partner who knows what they're doing. It's holding up really well, even though I shove pins into it all the time.
The only thing I'd change about my Uniquely You dummy is that I'm short and petite, so there are some measurements that don't match my body's and aren't going to without a custom dummy. Like the distance from above bust measurement to the top of the shoulder is too long on the dummy, and my shoulders are lots narrower. That just means that I need to fit my draped toiles on my body and adjust those elements on my body, which I'd have to do anyway.
I think if I didn't do historical costuming, and so needed to have a form that was "corsetable", I'd look into getting a My Twin. But since I don't do much modern sewing, I don't know if it would fit my needs, and it's not really a mistake I want to make for $150.
Unless you're a professional seamstress and need to fit a wide range of sizes, I'd recommend staying away from the adjustable, dial dummies. And, honestly, if you are a professional seamstress, I'm sure there's a better option than a Dritz! :P I'm definitely pleased with my Uniquely You, and I think it would work well for lots of people.
