Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't think I have worked in an office that had a strict dress code. When I work in other people's offices I keep in mind the dress there. When I need to train in banks it is very conservative business dress.

If the position and pay were right I would dress up right fancy every day. It's not that important to me to wear my t-shirts.

I think I'd have reservations about skirts, not slacks. I don't know how common that is in the office anymore, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dress code = Gold lamé hotpants?

Heh.

About formal-ness, as long as it's reasonable, I'm OK. And by that I mean, I wouldn't take a pay cut to work at a place that wanted me to wear a suit and hose every day, but I might go there for a raise. But I do wear a skirt or dress and heels almost every day now, so that's where I'm starting from.

pantyhose, Robin. That's just ridonkulous

I'd have to wear longer skirts and knee highs. One of my client offices all the women wear dark hose. In Miami! Ugh. I don't remember the last time I wore pantyhose.

Art Crawl!!!

Ignoring all the dresscode talk. (My boss is apparently working on one and I just don't want to know.) Here are yahoo previews for tonight's Top Chef.

I cannot wait!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Back in 1989-91, I worked in a public library that had a dress code for female employees of either pants or a skirt, but if you wore a skirt, you had to wear nylons. My supervisor once came up to me and asked if I was wearing my nylons, and I had to pull them away from my skin to show her that they were nude-colored nylons, and that my legs don't tan that dark. She did bust me on the day that I was wearing white socks and gym shoes over the nylons, but when I showed her the blisters I had from my new pair of dress shoes I had worn to my full-time job earlier that day, she let me off the hook.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

tonight's Top Chef.

Is that tonight? I thought it was next week.

Wheee.

Tonight is the grudge match. I've decided my minion is just contrary -- she's trying to figure out if there's a way for Marcel to win while Ilan loses. She's on Team Marcel!!!!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Pretty much besuited if I have a client meeting or going to court, which is why I'm wearing suits all this week. We also have a floor where you have to be in business formal, but few people really respect that.
