to be or not to be

Because I am “probably” a bona fide rebel and a certified nuts and only dead fish go with the flow… for the coming corporate dinner on the 22nd of January which if you remember people the dress code is b&w… I bought a cocktail dress (with a twist) in fuchsia pink. I envisioned myself the only moving colour in the sea of black and white, and could only wonder how huge the impact is going to be both from social and professional point of view. Is the management going to see it as a direct assault to the company’s protocol, a spit on the face of the committee or they will forgive my daring experiment and shrug it off as a mere exotic eccentricity from my part and not at least offensive?
I am still debating with myself as what picture I want to present myself at the occasion… teamed up with black leather jacket, fish net stockings and black patent work man’s boots and lace fingerless half kiddie gloves; I could be a rock chick. With a pair of emerald green pumps or sapphire blue peep-toe with matching beads and earrings plus a headband, yours truly can pass as modern retro. If I arrange it with big wide belt and black stiletto with matching clutch purse and removed the layers of petticoats under (yes it’s removable!) then the outfit will transform into party chic.

The question is: to do or not to do? (Translated as: Would we still have jobs to go to after the party?)

What if I say I’m colour- blind? Can I get away with it?

posing when you have a high fever and groggy with antibiotics and flying with cough syrup (maybe that's why) is a Mecca of craziness
so is cleaning the garage and defrosting the fridge
but if you're bored and tired of two weeks lying in bed
the brain starts to malfunction
and i'm looking forward to go to work because we lost the bid to become a domain owner but win the place to be community owner which is the next best thing
i'm doing the actual work but he's going to run away with the credit since he's the boss
i'm going to swallow it for the mean time till i got enough network to do it on my own
if people see that i can do it then the prove is ahead of the case the rest will be easy
crossing my fingers

hmmm...they can either fire me or make things difficult
these days people lost their jobs practically over nothing

ano kaya ang english word sa binat? and why it is not known among western culture? another one is "pasma" they don't believe such things
sa atin bawal maligo pag nag basketball at pagod but look at those foreign athletes...pouring water over their heads during
swimming too while we cannot go to sleep pag basa ang buhok
but here people are napping beside the pool whole day or in the sauna
they even have special room to do it they call it quiet room

actually the colour of the dress is more darker/deeper/vibrant
but the flash of the camera made it one dimensional/flat

i will take sassy as a compliment because of the prerogative
btw someone is begging me not to do it
it will put him on the spotlight which he truly really hate
meaning i will do exactly the opposite

Well, I don't know about how you do formals (as in really formal) in Belgium, but where I attended in NYC, if you do not conform to the dress code, you won't be allowed to enter even at the gate or the door where the guests are booked/listed..

formal is more or less a universal rule
some restaurants here will refuse entrance if one is not dress according to their code (mostly coat and tie for men and semi formal for women though these days city clothes are fairly acceptable) only in casinos people expect one to dress... dressy

but i think i can get away with it being the wife of...
but on the other hand, because of the same reason people expect me to "behave." they will think: "if he cannot manage his wife..."
mind you on their invitation it stated only "b&w" (i know in some places it's understandable as semi/formal) not like last year they really said: "formal" but i was not there because on the first of january i was airborne and stayed away for 4 months nursing my winter blues

the truth is i have difficulties conforming to whatever
and tend to stretch the rules a bit

honey... i even had a nightmare about people coming for me bearing straitjacket

imagine people looking at you whenever you move like going to the toilet or so

but on serious note: if i decide to really commit a social suicide... i will wear this outfit in style
don it up to be glamorous and a bit elegant
i will let my hair loosely curl and pile it up on top of my head with few strands escaping here and there hanging nonchalantly to frame my face and of course i will wear red stiletto and either smokey eyes and nude lips or red red lips and almost bare eyes

ah, i just can't let it pass that there some injustice being done
must be the hero in me

seriously, i don't know the whole story but the way it was presented is seems not right to me especially if it is not supported by facts
if the person is telling the truth then by all means give some proofs/evidence
