Currently trying to find a ride, cannot deal with half-hour bus ride home.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Picture is from my scary ass training session last week - full day training for 60-some people none of whose first language is english. Oy.
God, how freakin' cute do you look in that picture?
Poor, smonster. No woman no cry. Or, you know, cry if it feels better.

As for work attire, my last law firm had a cadre of about four young fashionista female attorneys and they dressed much like the woman who was fired. Nothing sleezy, but certainly form fitting and flattering. Nobody thought it was inappropriate and most of them were on partner track (or wound up making partner).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is law traditionally more or less conservative than finance? My first gig, in finance, out in LA was at a firm that mandated pantyhose in SoCal, for instance. It might be a corporate culture thing.
But I still maintain that we may never get a good idea of how she was actually dressed.

Found ride. God bless my friend R.
Not even sad, really, just can't stop crying. Waiting for calls from PCP and pscyhiatrist.

Happy Birthday, Dana! I hope somebody wrote some delectable fic for you and it's sitting in your inbox right now.

This is key.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Dress codes are often used as weapons against women. I have a friend who just yesterday was wearing a dress with leggings on underneath who was called out by one of her bosses.
I have been and have had other girlfriends called out because you can tell we have boobs. Short of a mumu, you are going to be able to tell I have boobs.

Take care, Smonster.
Technically, we're supposed to be business casual where I work. Except that we have taken casual to very casual places. Today I am wearing faded jeans and a peasant blouse. But if I had a meeting with clients, I would make an effort to look professional. Of course, it helps to work in a building full of eccentrics, where most seem to get a pass. Some people wear jeans everyday. Some people wear the exact same thing everyday. Other people dress like they are going to a board meeting in 1989.
Last summer out deputy head told all senior mgmt she was going to send out an email insisting that people keep in mind to dress professionally and that jeans were only to be worn on casual Fridays. Except our ED was wearing jeans to the Senior Management meeting. So the Deputy was like, "Well, you don't count."
