having perfected the art of removing my bra in a bar (without taking the top off, of course) at a very early age, and knowing what i know from wearing my own corset, i have to stand (or in this case, sit) in awe of a woman who can take a cincher off so discretely that i, who am trained to notice things like this, completely gapped.

i salute you. you have become my new hero :-)
