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.

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.
