Explodo-work

which is great except suddenly I may be required to make myself presentable, meaning:

a) The asymmetric fringe has either got to get symmetric or look deliberate.

b) Nails must be attached by force and french manicured. Chewed up paws definitely not allowed.

c) Strange bit of psoriasis on little finger must be hidden by a ring or fingerless gloves.

Worst of all:

d) New clothes may be needed.

I really hope this latter is unnecessary. Looking at nekokaiju's lj, it's clear that there are some beautiful fashions out this season, but these things never get near the shops. I know, cos I went hunting last weekend. And guess what they want us to wear?

Cullottes.

Or tight shorts that reach the knee.

Or combats.

Now, I don't mind combats; but combats cut off at the knee look right daft, and alongside them are these skirts gathered up at the hem giving the hips a curious garlic bulb shape: the idea is to wear bright leggings underneath. The fear came upon me and gripped me most cruelly. Then, I found some MC Hammer pants, and had to back out of the shop, calming myself with the mantra, The 80s are over, the 80s are over...

The 80s are over, right?

[amended to add] And suddenly all of the above is necessary.
