A have you ever..
So yesterday I managed to grab 0900-1400 as Davina with my oldest sitting exams and me working from home all day.
Did my makeup well, picked a nice dress, tights and heels, happy with my look and how I felt.. So relaxing..
I forgot I have a catch up team meeting at which I was the only one with camera off which seemed rude of me but found it funny sat there talking to our team as Davina.
So today I'm at a physical meeting in man trousers, man shirt and man shoes being the man everyone in work knows.. And in the wider teams are a number of women most in dresses, tights, moderate and some high heels and makeup ... I was sat there bored thinking
- Nice heels
- Nice dress
- I like how she's done her makeup
The have you ever bit is have you ever wished in the same situation that you were dressed as I was a little jealous and also wonder what would they all think if they knew that yesterday you were presenting as female working from home...
Time for a beer and maybe a little purchase to calm the mood. Works for me when I can't dress. Keep your chin up 😉
Sorry not yet, have to wait when not always got company.
Oh dear - I appear to have killed the thread! 😒
Off the top of my head:
Lou Reed - Make-up
Velvet Underground - Candy Says
Wasted Youth - I Wish I Was a Girl
Robyn Hitchcock - Queen Elvis
Pink Fairies - I Wish I Was A Girl
Lou Reed - take a walk on wildside
Okay I'll start us off Aerosmith (dude looks like a lady). Please accept this as just a bit of humour and maybe a little coping mechanism due to situation.
The lumber jack song is just like our theme tune 😂 Anyone else come up with any other suitable soundtracks?
Absolutely- there are a few very well dressed women where I work- smart and stylish and sexy. (I expect this could rile some readers, but there are also some who really don’t seem to care about their femininity either). Not sure which I’m more frustrated by!!
In a slightly different vain, inspired by Ally’s comment about steel cap boots - bear with me - I was chopping wood not so long ago and just couldn’t avoid the MontyPython Lumberjack song going through my head.
Pre pandemic I was at an annual do with Mrs Stephanie and always so jealous of the pretty shoes and dresses all around me as I was stuck in a suit. There were other events but for some reason that was the one that always stuck in the mind.
May be not so much in a work mode for me as most of the time I'm in steel toecap and work gear. Just don't think I could cut it in my heels and dress trying to carry a lintel up some scaffold. 👠👗😂 Although I'm most definitely envious when I go into businesses where there is a female workforce and they are genuinely looking fabulous. I just have to take a mental picture of maybe I could get a top like that, try my hair that way, get that shade of lipstick. 💋
