Diesel Night

[plumtreeblossom]

Last night at Diesel post-work I was conversing with trowa_barton, who shares my penchant for the idiosyncratic fashion hybrid of goth and corporate. You wouldn't guess how sharp it looks unless you saw us in it. I titled us the Corporate Gothic Office Team of Darkness. This amuses me more than it should.

Afterwards there was a group dinner at Sugar & Spice with guest star weegoddess, direct from the UK! beowabbit and I both lurve her better than chocolate and it was so lovely to spend dinner with her during her too-brief visit back to the US. Much fun conversation (and merlot for me), which led to a later than usual bed time. I'm about to be late for work, but I'm attired attractively in my blackest black blazer and skirt.

I think I quality to join the two of you in the Corporate Gothic Office Team of Darkness--even if I'm an academic! (Maybe it's that you haven't seen my work clothes...but I'll probably be dressed for work more frequently at Diesel this semester, since I won't have time to change if I can make it at all...)

We extend our dark welcome to you into the boardroom/lair of the Corporate Gothic Office Team of Darkness. May we increase productivity in a shroud of sunlessness and proactive gloooom.

Ok. Giggling now. Aren't goths supposed to be serious?! :)

Life is serious. Goth is fun!

And I'm wearing the deep purple shirt with black tie now :)
I can't wait until spring when I can wear all of this with my leather trenchcoat (and not with that %&^$%^$ pride Jane hat).

Thinking of you in that hat reminds me of when I was a kid and I would dress our dignified male Persian cat in dolly dresses. You both had the same look on your face. :-)
