Shallow, clothes-oriented post

ceebeegeeToday I'm wearing a mini-skirt--it's in this squarish mod pattern, with tonal shades of red and orange. It's mid-thigh. I'm also wearing a sleeveless coral-red turtleneck, and fuck-me-red patent leather shoes (my Life-Saving shoes--I got them for free after doing the Heimlich maneuver in the shoe department at Hecht's) and of course matching coral-red lipstick, with a bluish-red gloss on top. If anyone kissed me their mouth would be quite red. I'm just sayin'.
Oh yes, and a cherry-red satin bra. It's all about the red (and complementary shades of orange) today.
(After putting on this outfit this morning, I suffered a Dark Night of the Soul wherein I struggled about whether to wear pantyhose. All sorts of parameters to consider--the length of the skirt, the lack of sleeves in the shirt, the fact that I didn't tan last night. I gave in and put on the hose--can't look too hoochy-mama at work.)

Re: So you saved a little girls' life.....and all you got were a pair of shoes?!?!?

Sounds like you're a good chick to have around in a sticky spot.
What are you trying to say...? ;)
When I did my ship contract, I enjoyed the emergency drills. It was frustrating to be assigned a really pansy task during drills--herding the passengers into line--when what I really wanted to do was raise and lower the lifeboats. I learned how to do that and when the safety officer would ask for volunteers, I would beg to be chosen, and he'd only choose me if no guy was available. Our safety officer was really sexist--it was ridiculous, because most of the guys on my safety team were exhausted (they worked in the laundry) and I was all fresh and perky, and dying to lower the lifeboats. I did get to pilot them once.
We also watched a video once about the sinking of the ferry Estonia (a terrible disaster that happened in the mid-'90s) and learned there were different types of response modes in emergencies--denial, panic, an assessment of what needs to be done, and the ability to execute it. I guess I'm the latter because I've always been good in emergencies. It's always afterwards when I start shaking and need a drink. or several.
