I made a dress last night out of black lace
it fits perfectly, but the question is how slutty is too slutty?

Ladies, what are you wearing/did you wear to your works Christmas do?

Menfolk or women who don't care about what anyone is wearing can have the alternate question of what do you hope to achieve in 2010 that you failed miserably at in 2009?

We're not having a work Christmas do.
It was cancelled due to the current economic climate. We didn't have one last year either - it was cancelled due to swine flu.

There is no such thing as too slutty

Are you pale or tanned? Are you blonde or brunette?
Will you be wearing modern slut-shoes,or something with a whiff of vintage?
All of these things will play upon the conventions in people's minds and go to make up whether you are perceived as phwoar or whore.

I know nothing of fashion but I'm an old fashioned gal who thinks a bit of slutty, when done right, can be ok.

Well I was going to wear my Irregular Choice shoes
that are pinstripey with a tape measure rosette on them, hopefully that will dial down the slagathor.

It's got long sleeves and a really high neck, it's just sort of see through. Not like cling film transparency, but you can see the outline of my underwear through it.

I just worry that in the harsh lights of a brightly lit pub you'll be able to make out all my tattoos and freckles.

Oh and I'm kind of half brunette, half rainbow. And I'm not very tanned yet, but I only sprayed it on this morning and it's still developing, so once the smell of shreddies has gone away I should be a nice golden colour!
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Fri 11 Dec 2009, 11:01, Reply)

You sound like you could pull this off
Do not wear fancy underwear though. They'll think you did it on purpose to show yer knicks. Wear feminine but big, like shorts knicks and a modest bra. Your shoes should mark you as a good-ish girl, and not a slag from the market.
Go easy on the tan. NO MORE TAN!!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 11 Dec 2009, 11:03, Reply)

Don't worry, I don't tan
Even with the bottled stuff. I'm always pretty pale, the tan just takes the blue edge off my skin tone.

And I was going with a plain black tshirt bra and little boyshort things so you can't see any arse. I tried french knickers, thinking the lace would be less conspicuous under lace, but you could see definite arse cheek so I'll be going with the shorts.

I'm also going to wear a trilby if that helps with the unsluttery.

Hello all
My plan for 2010 has a few parts to it -

1. Lose the belly, then start to gain weight in muscle, not ale.
2. Stop spending money I don't have
3. MTFU
4. Get a payrise/new job
5. Go to a festival (bloodstock is in the lead, so far)
6. Go on holiday with my friends
7. Find a woman
8. Set up a family reunion, so I can see my cousins I've not seen in over 10 years.

Obviously, most of these won't happen, but you only said 'hope to happen' haha.

Also, I'm considering continuing to grow my hair, haha.
