Did you pin that hat? (It was her with the hat, right? There was an epic hat...)
I just scoured through shopyourtv.com, and I didn't see Zoe's enormous hat. Which is a pity, because I want that and Myrtle Snow's red ruffled gloves.

Because books.
I love her shoes, and most of her shirts and sweaters, plus the sleeveless black dress. I don't think I could carry off a hat that size, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't believe I'm drooling over black A line skirts. Yet...

Oh, I'd love to wear a pair of too much red gloves with that houndstooth dress, except I absolutely very much do not wear gloves, unless it's very very much glove weather.

... and now I am stuck in the vintage section of Etsy, browsing wide-brimmed black hats.

Ooh, I always forget about vintage Etsy.

And I'm stuck explaining the degree of profanity of "bloody" and "blood" in the Empire and its remnants. When did my day degrade to this level? I suspect it's because my cubemate has been in the office 12 hours now. He gets to experience sunrise and sunset from the office. Good thing he's got an ocean view.

My inbox blew up while I was at the conference today, and I've been scheduled in a block of meetings from 11am to 1:30pm tomorrow. I'm barely functional on regular doses of cold meds, so I may be taking meetings from the couch.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Open the kimono makes me hurl. Ew. Sexist AND racist at the same time, whee intersectionality?
My boss keeps using the phrase "lift up their skirts" when referrring to due diligence. I... suppose I should be grateful he left the racism out of it?

Huh. This female model is modelling menswear masculinely, and one critic told her to stop playacting as trans. Isn't she, perhaps, playacting as male? Or, perhaps, she is dressing (as she says) how she wants to? And if she makes more money for it (big fish, small pond) does that make it bad?
Obviously, I'm all "fuck the gender binary when and if you want to." I really think it's a bit much to accuse her negatively unless you're turning her words against her. You have to have a pretty insider position to tell "playing trans" from "playing male". I'd be surprised if a Slate writer has it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Thing is: I think she started this because she was getting too old to model women's wear. So that adds a layer of complexity on to this.
