I never wanted a job that asked a dress code of me. I spent twelve years in a Catholic school uniform where any expression of individuality was squelched (save for colorful socks and creative hair styles; see Bang Bang Perm Fringe) Even my extra-curricular activities required uniforms: field hockey, ballet class, and that one feeble attempt at a season of Track... So, these days, I love clothes. I, in fact, dress-up for a living, sometimes changing up to five costumes in the course of a two-hour play, each with its own set of undergarments and accessories. Outside of work, I am frequently accused of over-dressing for events. Yes, as far as I am concerned:
Life is a Party. Dress up for it.
