They really wear things that allow you to see stuff that is between the belly button and the hip?? Huh. This does not seem like work-appropriate attire.
And it is really quite pervy that you have observed such an intimate level of detail. I would say precious little is left to the imagination around *here*.

It is appropriate, and encouraged, if you work at Sonny & Cher, LLP.

I don't think you are in my town. I think my secretary has worn open-toed shoes a few times, but it didn't seem particularly risque.

If one of these women gets raped this evening, will you defend her attacker on the basis that b/c of the way she dressed, she was clearly a harlot asking for it?

Maybe aromatherapy? You seem very wound up.

Well, guess you're just a whore for the wrong person.

IIRC, that's not on my firm's list of benefits... If it were, but for the allure of Mrs. Hand, the GP's would finally get their way because I'd never leave the office.

I wouldn't be WORKING, but...

Acting too much like PLF in his dialoge with Bug-eyed this morning.

Not after one of them showed me the tattoo on her ass. And no, I didn't request to see it.

Yes they do. And yes, that's exactly my point. Oh, and also the fact that I'm jealous that they get to leave at 5:00 and enjoy the sun. Perhaps I should ask to be demoted..

Perhaps it would make you feel better to order some dinner -- charged to the client, of course.

"Hello Kitty. You're so pretty, just like this here Flower.
Show your lovely smile, you're the poster of the hour.
Hiya Kitten. Lost your mitten? Are your fingers cold?
Let me warm them with my petals, if I may be bold.
What's up Cat? Put on your Hat, the one that's red and white.
Bring Thing 1, Thing 2 along, we'll raise some hell tonight.
Greetings Feline, make a bee line to the nearest Nordstrom.
Buy yourself some shoes sublime, I know you can afford some.
Hi there Pussy, let's . . . um . . . oops.
Never mind."

I left a fantastic reality show off my list . . . American Choppers.

If you are not watching it on discovery, check out this article to see what you are missing:

We're not in a church, but there is a representative of God handy. And I think Episcopalians, unlike Unitarians, are supposed to believe in God and the divinity of Jesus and stuff.
The presence of an Episcopal priest has no impact whatsover on the behavior of those surrounding him or her. We are encouraged to refer to them by their first names, for chrissake. With rare exception, these priests are more jaded, debauched, and atheistic than BIGLAW lawyers. That is why I count more of them among my friends than I do lawyers.

But one's state of ordination is not the relevant question. If you're dealing with a Baptist or a Morman layperson, YMMV. Cover yourself if you see them wandering among the Hye rollers and profiteroles at the reception, but I see no purpose for such people to be at any respectable person's wedding in the first place.

Would 5 pm be late enough for the ceremony? What about 4:30?
Good society recognizes only two times of day: daytime, and after six. Wear your strapless gowns, if at all, after six.

In reality, my feeling is that for chrissakes, I will wear whatever I want (that is agreeable to Mr. benefit, and his parents I guess if it's that important to them) and just not invite you or DS.
Really. Do you also give legal advice based upon these "feelings" of which you speak? :rolleyes: The Texas tuxedo was also originally based on such "feelings," and look at the world we're forced to live in now.

Reality Redux
 
Anyone else watching the show about newlyweds Jessica Simpson and her oy band husband (Nick??? I sure ABBA will know).

Highlights from yesterday:

Jessica going on and on about how she's never had to clean up after herself, throwing the laundry over the balcony, and their pissy fight about moving the furniture into the guest room. Props to the husband for getting a u-haul and moving himself in. Props detracted for him thinking that $20/hr is high for a maid (not that I know, but it seems reasonable). He does seem fairly normal and down to earth, much more than she does, but given how he acted on the episode of Punk'd when her hick trailor trash relatives moved in, I will at least watch the first few episodes.

I didn't see the show but her husband is Nick Lachey, formerly of 98 degrees, now a solo act (though I couldn't tell you what he sings). He is way hot though. Somewhere hotter than Justin but less hot than Angelina.

I was saying that the Episcopalian (or Baptist, or Methodist) person was performing the ceremony, but the ceremony was not in a church. So is it a religious ceremony deserving of the respect of covered shoulders, or is it a non-religious ceremony to which I can wear my pretty dress?

I'm sure "feelings" also had to do with getting rid of corsets and lots of petticoats and stuff. And that's all good in my book.

Of course, you may be saying that the degree of offensiveness of the difference between my shoulders, bared, and my shoulders, covered is equivalent to the degree of offensiveness of the difference between a TX tuxedo and a regular tuxedo. In which case, just because I am a ho of some kind does not mean you can cease to be a gentleman, at least, not if you have any kind of self-respect.

Now I'm beginning to question whether I ever really was, in fact, on my game, or whether I am just looking at the past with scotch-colored glasses.

On the bright side, confirmation that I have always phoned it in just means that the Age of Flower has yet to fully bloom. Those will be exciting times, and you simpletons will regret the unkind words you said about me.
