Too Cute

[susandennis]

There is a woman who works here who is poster girl for Princess Week. I was bitching to someone about how her cuteness just makes my teeth ache and the other person said 'good thing you can't die from too cute, she'd be a goner' - got me thinking... Anyone ever try the 'too cute' homicide defense? Is this an adventure I want to take on? How would I look on 60 Minutes, 20/20, Dateline? At least I wouldn't have to worry about what to wear.

Am I glad I'm taking this afteroon off? Is the princess glad??

Maybe we need a support group... WOC/NOW - that would be Wipe Out Cute - NOW...

They probably have some kind of LUMINOL which in addition to blood products checks for CUTENESS.

For the most part, education is much like health care. Barely anyone cares what anyone looks like.

Course I am talking rank and file here as I do notice secretaries and some adms are very fond of polyester.

I have not worn PANTYHOSE in years!

In heathcare, clean clothes, brushed teeth and brushed/clean hair was a must and I must say I wish some of the professors here would pay a bit more attention to personal hygiene.

I save so much money dressing comfortable on most days.

Ohhhh I like the Luminal idea... BUT, some of the hiring managers here do not regard cute as a bad thing (hard to believe, I know)... and in this case, cute is not just a looks problem - it's a demenor - the looks I could live with - it's the attitude that makes me consider homicide.

(In the start up world (my world) in Seattle, we are all just happy to see employees clothed. After decades of wearing suits and panty-hose and heels every single freakin' day in the corporate world, I am deliously happy to wear the jeans, t-shirts and sandals that is my daily uniform now.)

And, actually, now that I think about it, one thing that makes the Princess stand out as the Queen of Cute (and I truly do not mean that in a good way) is she wears adorable (again, not a good adorable) little matching outfits with heels - looks very strange in jeans-land.
