Our hostess nominated boss-across-the-hall, two of the IT Security Dudettes with whom I work have nominated me, and so on Incidentally, I will not be accepting the nomination for the fashion show because in the sagacious words of Right Said Fred, <i>I'm too sexy for this</i> fashion show. Fred might <i>do a little turn on the catwalk</i>, but I'm not giving (1) my male co-workers that kind of blackmail material, nor (2) my female co-workers the unbearable temptation that is my <b>Strut</b>. You see, when I <b>Strut</b>, Austin Powers' <i>Mojo</i> and James Bond's <i>Sex Appeal</i> weep like a little boy whose annoying little sister gets all of his birthday presents. Actually, they weep so much it's more like the little sister was cutting up an onion and got stung by both a jellyfish AND a bee on the very indian burn her brother gave her while stealing back the presents. (Don't ask me why she had a knife in the first place. Bad parenting, maybe? What kind of parents give the wrong kid birthday presents after all?) The point is, my <b>Strut</b> is very effective. Men are humbled, women are entranced. Back to the ORIGINAL point... The men in our office are afeard that if we start bandying about names of women who might appear in the fashion show, we'll have harassment charges pending. It's all very tricky and unfair. I'm surprised our hostess has not mentioned the whole size situation. The Fashion Show Imperators demand men, sizes 40-46. Women must be sizes 6-10 or 16-24.
