What did you decide to wear, Jess?!? And what did you do with your hair, anything? It's pretty rock chic on the daily...
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Krysten Sinema killed any urge I have to wear a wig or color my hair anything...exotic. That isn't the thing I blame her for, but it's something else she kind of ruined.(Not that I haven't missed my Manic Panic window by several decades, anyway. Much like ex-Senator It's-Not-Cool_to_brag about skipping third grade when you're forty and allegedly an instructor in your own right.)

Excellent point.

That's fair.

I decided against the leather corset in the end because I really only have RenFair skirts to go with it. (I tried it with jeans and it created this very unflattering effect where the corset's waistline was like 8 inches above where the jeans' waistline was, and the only tunic length shirts I have that would have fixed that are long sleeved. ) So I went with a black shirt that's got a low sweetheart neckline and then the top half is mesh. I left my hair alone so I wouldn't have to sleep with product in it or take a shower at midnight when I got home.
Many people were decked out in their goth club best, I prioritized being comfortable on the hourlong train ride to and from the city because I am older than I am cool by several decades.

The one time I wore a fancy-pants wig on a big-budget production I could not feel it on my head. It probably cost more than my head.

Being comfortable is a reasonable priority. Makes for a more enjoyable event.

Sounds like good choices! And you looked good on FB

Shame about the leather corset but I 100% understand the issue of matching it to some appropriate bottom! I hate when I have a cool top or bottom but not the right piece to match it because the pants or shirts I have the waistline is too low or too high!!
I really miss having blue hair but I do not want to bleach my hair for it because that caused such damage. Sigh. Trade offs.

Once again, I failed to turn the world on with my dials. I remember when that used to feel super-important. Wow, I guess I have a real working life after all. Yay? (Except, since it feels like I do everything backwards maybe I'll have a retirement filled with commutes and front-office intrigue...pretty bad that I'm bored enough to kind of anticipate that, right?)

I feel like 7pm on a Tuesday can be punk, but can't be glam.
I think events starting at 7pm on a Tuesday have a potential “damn the man, my boss won’t see me Wednesday morning” aspect that makes them potentially punk. But yeah, nsm glam.
