Nylon makes me itch. Down with hose!
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OH HELL NO! Bare-legged in summer forever!
NOT AT WORK. I forbid it, with all the weight that carries.
Maybe I'm biased by being a near-permanent bruiser (one disappeared after 3 or 4 years the other month! Excited!) and I don't want smooth and shiny unblemished legs all over the workplace. Maybe I am that person.
That mascara application method looks like a good way for me to poke myself in the eye
Right? It makes a dangerous process even scarier. I'm not sure moving the hand itself would be any safer.
I don't feel office appropriate in anything sleeveless, though.
That I do, but I'm usually cold, so there's a jacket or wrap nearby. I have a number of scooter dresses (that I wear with tights). But I have no problem with the arms. Just uncovered shameless disruptive legs.
I have walked around my office barefoot!

Well, you'd be fine with me if our legs shared office space. I'm generally covered with bruises. Now I have added tiny scratches from the kittens. Sexy! Still, I'm not covering my gd legs when I'm wearing skirts or dresses in the summer!
BARE LEGS FOREVER.
I feel pretty stupid being sad that I am not rich enough, when we are so rich. So I am sad AND guilty!
Aw, flea! Instead feel proud of making the prudent decision?
When they were deciding on meds for me the doctor did a cheek swab for a genetic report that came back with listings of all the things I could absolutely never take, things that worked too well, and things that didn't work at all. It was interesting.
That is FASCINATING. Huh.
I was surprised to learn at Home Depot that the butcher block counters were more expensive than the synthetic (or whatever) stone I ended up with.
I've had granite counters for years and they are very pretty. I don't think any surface could keep me from breaking stuff. Maybe bubble wrap, but that would be messy to clean up.
Don't wear eye makeup and don't imagine I ever will. Nice enough for other people, but I rub my eyes too much. And sweat. And eye water. Forget it.
Many many decades since I worked in an office with actual office attire. If we have to go out we might, or if I am in a dress decent mood. But mostly super casual.
I am at the office. Gym shorts. Barefoot. It is Saturday so maybe more casual than usual. I am also avoiding work. Can you tell?
I refuse to wear anything resembling tights unless it's a "keeping warm" issue. My bare legs are no prize to look at, but I am a bare-legged advocate all the way.
Part of my no-sleeveless-yes-bare-legs position is probably due to my persistent unreliability in getting my underarms well-shaven. I try but, well, for one thing I can't really see what I'm doing. At least with my legs I can see if they are all stubbly.
Which is kind of fucked up, but there it is.
And this past week I have been very tempted to wear skirts that would offer a glimpse of my bruised knee so I could casually mention that I banged it up during a race. But I somehow kept opting for trousers.

Oh yeah, I also prefer not to shave my armpits that often.
