Newsflash: Men Are Pervs
Last week we had a Halloween costume contest at my workplace. Some other female co-workers and I decided to dress in our pajamas, carry around stuffed animals and pretend we were a slumber party. I was in favor of it because, duh, I could wear my pajamas at work and be comfy all day!
Sounds innocent enough, right? But the interesting thing was, I got more male attention in that one day than I usually do in two weeks. No, make that a month! All day men were doing double takes and telling me that I looked cute. Men who had never even spoken to me before were hanging around checking me out. Was I wearing a something slinky from Victoria's Secret or Frederick's of Hollywood? Absolutely not! The outfit had to be work-appropriate, of course. I had on my Nick & Nora pajamas with the snow globe pattern, plus my monkey slippers. So if I wasn't dressed provocatively, what was the reason for all the attention? The only thing I can think of is that I put my hair up in two pigtails on either side of my head. I was trying to look as much like a little girl as possible (at my age, that's quite a feat!). I think the "not quite legal" aspect is what was driving them crazy! Sickos!!

Hahah -- the minute you said the guys were all after you in your jammies, I knew it had to be pigtails, even before I read it!
It would've been cool if you'd done that with a zombie face, like black rings around the eyes and white makeup -- then see if the guys were still going after you, get all undead gothic lolita variant on them!

BAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA! That's too freakin' funny. Pervs, indeed.

I already resemble a zombie most days (pale face, dark rings under the eyes - haha). They probably would have loved that, too. They went nuts over my dominatrix-lite costume from last year. They still talk about it!

Dominatrix Lite, eh? Baahah! That's what, politely telling them what to do? "Please stop drooling. Thank you."

Heh heh! "I would appreciate it if you would put on this ball gag now, if it's not too much trouble...."

"The safe words are: 'Pretty Please.' Does that work for you? Thanks!"
