No. No, you are not. I liked it as an exercise in "Look, let me show you how it does. not. work. like. that." But then boys started paying attention and it got all icky.
Yes, yes exactly!

Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

I hate it when boys are icky like that.
I showed my cleavage. To my husband, and all accidentally, but still. Go me?

Here is my other question about this: should I mention it to my (awesome, female) boss? Because while it was a fairly harmless thing, it's still not exactly an appropriate question to ask a co-worker.

I had cleavage today because of my Duro dress. But whatev. Nothing exciting. I also had someone walk in on me in the bathroom because it wasn't completely locked. That was significantly more embarrassing.

Has the co-worker made many statements that were inappropriate? Did he do it in such a way that you felt he was crossing a line, or was it an isolated social ignorance thing?
If it was just a random dumbass thoughtless question, I wouldn't. If you were totally skeeved, and he's shown a predilection for this, I would. It depends on your interactions with him in the past, and the context of the situation.

This is, I think, the second-ever interaction I've had with him. The first one was a few weeks ago, when one of the other writers introduced him.

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt (mouth not connected to brain moment) this one time but but be wary of him.
