: : : : : : : : : Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know that I attended Toronto Trek and thought Robin was a fabulous guest (if not the best one there!). I was working on the Charity Auction, and Robin made a great auctioneer! Thanks Robin! Hope you enjoy the Hard Rock - Babylon tshirt! You can add me to the list of new and faithful fans. Hope to see you again here in Toronto.

: : : It would be but I can assure that they provide great comfort down under. It is a pleasure to rest my rear cosseted in the warmth of the soft pile of the velvet.
: : : My biggest problem is ironing these delicate items of my wardrobe for if the iron is to hot the pile is like sitting on nails.

: : Jeffrey,
: : I'm sure your comfort, especially in those sensitive areas, is important to all of us.:) If velvet nickers are what do it for you..... Me, I prefer a silky feel on my tush. As for ironing those velvet bloomers, guess the most important thing is not to use any starch!

: If you know anything about velvet ok but if not and for example you were making some apparell the pile is known in the trade as " Pile Up ".
: Imagine a pair of curtains, one of the pile down and the other pile up .. absolute disaster as the sheen of the velvet would as its known in the trade" finger " meaning that it would mark by a even a light touch.
: I shall stop here as the dilema of pile up and pile down could cause one of the longest rinning topics on the Forum!!!
: Jeffrey
Agreed!!!!! I shall bite my tongue.
