The Doctrine of Skirts Or A Sidelight on WFC

[la_marquise]

So the skirt mountain sent envoys to the US (but of course) several of which made an appearance at WFC (blue wedgewood, which got re-packed on the day we left, due to a jean malfunction; long grey and black, and blue and black goth skirt. Saturday I cheated and wore my grey maxi-dress -- and risked the outrage of desperance by wearing An Unnecessary Belt with it).
On Sunday afternoon, returning from the Awards Ceremony, someone tapped me on the shoulder, and asked if she could see my badge. And then said, 'You're Kari Sperring. I've been looking for you all con.'
Her name is Sonya, and she had been stopping women in skirts all weekend, because she wanted me to sign a book (and I'd dodged the signing, because I didn't think anyone would want me). But she knew about the skirt thing.
So, Sonya, hi, and many, many thanks. You made my con.

Uh-huh. And what have we learned from this?

Wearing skirts is good?

some of us were, in fact, very interested in meeting you :)

One of these days I will get back into the habit of wearing skirts. I worked too long at the bookstore, where much time was spent up a ladder, so skirts were not much of an option and they have cycled out of my active wardrobe.

Thank you!
Long skirts are fine: I agree short ones and ladders do not play well together.

I adore long skirts. I am, alas, spectacularly clumsy at times and was more or less convinced I would manage to tangle myself up while climbing in one direction or another...

I'm also pretty clumsy, but so far I've survived the skirts.

That is just so cool :)

I nearly suggested trouser wearing as a confidence boost--how wrong can I be!

I own a couple of skirts. Now all I have to do is wear one. Hmmm. Maybe tomorrow...

You have fine skirts and you look splendid in them.
