When I was in my band, my fave "look" was miniskirts and knee socks with chunky loafers.
Hell, I still wear a variation on that theme (short skirts, knee socks, mary jane high heels). Depending on the fabrics, I bet anyone could get away with it!
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The status is NOT quo.
If something is taken from the checked bag, it's definitely theft. I'm very sorry, Sean.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I should have said I feel too old for it now and like my body has changed enough for me to feel self-conscious about it. I even tried on a little corduroy mini the other day and was like, no way. It was something I totally would have worn 6-10 years ago, though.

Our wings are not tired
3 oz containers in a 1 gallon ziploc bag
I though it was a 1 quart bag.

Yeah, we packed the toiletries bag because of the carry on restrictions on liquids.

As far as I know this includes all kinds of make up, lipsticks,
Argh! What about cosmetics that are less than 3 oz? Do I have to figure out a way to decant them into a 3 oz container, or can they stay in their little jars and tubes? And I bet I can't carry lipstick in my purse while I'm flying, can I?

You might give a stewardess a stealth makeover.
What is your on-plane wear, oh, lady of the cupcakes? Do you have a pared-down verson of the standard gear that doesn't make TSA think they have to search each layer of petticoat?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Do I have to figure out a way to decant them into a 3 oz container, or can they stay in their little jars and tubes?
They're fine as long as they're in the bag and less than 3 oz. At least, that's been my experience.
And I bet I can't carry lipstick in my purse while I'm flying, can I?
Technically, no, though I've been through security several times with chapstick and lip gloss in my purse and never had a problem.

CS Hell, Entry #442:
If the person you are trying to reach is continually unavailable, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT say something like "Well, I left them a voicemail yesterday..." and then WAIT for me to say something. Because I have neither sympathy nor an alternate solution for your problem. Think: If the person you are trying to reach is continually unavailable, maybe you should evaluate WHY they may not wish to speak to YOU PERSONALLY. Consider breath mints and, possibly, a powerful dandruff shampoo. Oh, and a personality transplant.
CS Hell, Entry #443:
Further on the subject of "Why Your Company's Rep Hates You" DO NOT call back five minutes later and ask the low-man-on-the-totem-pole CS Wonk (me) the answer to your arcane and probably stupid problem. A) I don't know and Pi) I don't care.

Nope. I wear my usual clothes, including the petticoats and a hat. (I do remember to take the hatpins out of the hat, tho'.) All the TSA people I've ever dealt with have been very amused by me. Plus, I think most of them realized that the girl in the fluffy skirts carrying a stuffed bunny probably ISN'T a terrorist, because I am obviously making no effort to be unremarkable.
