ChiKat, yeah, the article didn't mention how the girls afforded the finery! I think a gown would be totally comfortable all day, providing you had on comfortable underthings. And providing you weren't too troubled about the chance of, say, dropping mustard on it.

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I heard of an office once that rebelled against "casual Friday" and instituted "formal Friday". Men would wear tuxedoes, women would wear gowns and tiaras.
Once, a neat gimmick. Regularly, no.

I actually do like Verdana on-line because it is easier on my extremely bad eyes. But never for print.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How about:
- Scuba Friday - where everyone shows up in a wetsuit. And maybe have meeting at the bottom of a swimming pool.
- Mime Friday
- Leotard Friday
- Furry Friday

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Furry Friday
This could make some people really really happy.
We do spirit wear Fridays and wear our school shirts. We also have "gold Wednesdays" and wear a gold/yellow shirt (school colors=blue and gold).

Oh, the Parthenon. I must go see it again, now that work on Athena is finished
The one time I was in Nashville was for a F2F for the board I hung out on before I discovered Salon and Table Talk and y'all. We stayed in the hotel right across from the Parthenon-alike, which was very cool to walk through. There was an Athena there when I visited (1999, IIRC)--have they just refurbished her?

Work on Athena began in the 1990's, I think, but when I went to visit with my girlfriend in ~2004 Athena was there but unfinished. There may have been another smaller Athena in previously? I don't know.
One office I worked in had Ugly Shirt Friday once a month. This was fun, and quickly became Ridiculous Hawaiian Shirt Friday.
