And Now For Something Completely Different

Normally I write about Cherry here, because let's face it, she's my baby and I spend a good deal of time thinking about her. But today I feel like writing about me! Because I think I'm pretty awesome too. :)

I'm going to a soiree. Not a BBQ, not a party, but a soiree. And I'm going to be bringing a selection of artisan wines. Can't you just feel the yuppiness oozing out every pore? Barf.

Therefore I must choose an appropriate outfit. What does one wear to a "celebratory soiree"? I suppose nothing trashy or too revealing, that's a safe bet. So, how does one judge trashy?

I judge the trashiness of my outfit by how many tattoos are showing. I've got three, ankle, lower back (right side, no tramp stamp for me!), and shoulder blade.


None showing: Formal and/or professional, highly conservative

1 showing: Conservative, especially if it's just the ankle tattoo

2 showing: Casual, possibly a bit revealing

3 showing: If it's not a bikini, it's trashy

I might have to revise my rule if I acquire any more, but so far it's worked well for me. Some might disagree with my classifications, but I'm not a terribly modest person. Pretty much the only thing I always try to cover is my butt crack, and that's only because I don't want to see anyone else's and don't want to be a hypocrite.

Something I love doing is wearing a really modern casual outfit and a really demure, old-school hairstyle. There's something fun about a tight, low cut shirt, huge hoop earrings, and a ladylike braided bun pinned low. Or braids wrapped around my head. That one throws people off because nobody wears their hair like that anymore.

I think I'll go conservative for this soiree deal. I've got black pants that look cute rolled up with flip flops, and a drape-y green shirt that's comfy but not sloppy. Turtle will be showing, but the rest will be covered. Excellent, now I just need to do laundry............








Disclaimer: Neither of these pics are of me. The top one is Angelina Jolie, and I only wish I had an amazing pic of me like that. The bottom one is some chick's picture that I found on Google images, but her hair type and length seem similar to mine.
