Before I got my new deluxe office space, I spent a lot of late nights at a cafe down the street from a nightclub. The number of women I saw who couldn’t walk in their shoes even when sober, nor wear their dresses without looking like they were out for some quick money, shocked even this hardened soul. As for what happens to a woman in shoes she can’t walk in, who is wearing a dress she can’t sit down in, after a dozen drinks; well, it ain’t pretty. The least they could do is hook up with men who could carry them to the taxi instead of throwing them into a chair and dragging the chair down the street like some primitive wheelbarrow. I suppose it’s this year’s version of chivalrously seeing the ladies home?

So very, very true. I think “dignity” is the most important word up there. One can certainly be a dignified sex worker (at least in my opinion), but desperation and attention seeking rarely produce dignified style choices.

Also: In the Library is my favorite perfume in the whole world.

Thank you, CB, and thank you, Plummie. Sadly, I do not have faith in the Straight Men of America when it comes to womens’ style. I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but pretty much every time you say, “My god, she looks like a $10 crack whore in that outfit!” (What? You don’t say that? Puh-leez…) the response you’re going to get from most straight males within chirping distance will be along the lines of, “And what’s wrong with that?” (And if they don’t say it, believe me, they’re thinking it.) I know there are exceptions, but they are rare. Therefore, hew closely to the following rule: Dress Not to Impress the Men of the World, Lest Ye Be Mistaken for a Hooker and Potentially Jailed for Public Indecency and/or Solicitation.

So saith Style Spy.
