I am the only black person at this conference, and women are just one in eight. Also, the presenters say dub-dub-dub for www. It's strange here.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
why not just wear vinyl or rubber?
They don't breathe, and people like me overheat and die when the temperature is above 40-ish. Sad but true.
I mean, I *wouldn't* wear wet-look *anything,* but if the fabric breathes despite its shiny look, it's a better option than sweating like a farm animal and then passing out.
dub-dub-dub?
dub-tee-eff?
That sounds awesome.
It is. Clicky link!
I could vaguely understand "wet-look" leggings in a nightclub context (but then, why not just wear vinyl or rubber?), but at the office? Even my flexible interpretation of the dress code shudders at that.
Oh, see, I understand nothing in a nightclub context. I only go to nightclubs if there's live music and I know somebody in the band. (Or, before I actually knew the members of the bands, Velvet Chain or Darling Violetta was playing.) Otherwise I avoid them rather studiously.
I may start making an exception for the Clockwork Ball, though. Of course, I'm not sure how steampunk wet look leggings would be.
I think wet-look leggings are pretty hot -- and cheaper and more forgiving than rubber, vinyl or leather -- but they're not daywear unless you are Lady Gaga or Rihanna.
Kathy - I reposted that link on Facebook, thanks for that.
Okay, this may be old news, but did we know about the I Miss Buffy tribute album? [link] A friend of mine from Peace Corps who I got into the show sent it to me (signed copy!) and I've been listening to it today. This chick is totally a Buffista in spirit, if not actuality. It's hilarious! Song titles include "Kinda Wish D'Hoffryn Was My Boyfriend,"* and a punk tune called "Lipstick Wiccans."

I would start looking for the three men in a tub.
I present to you Frank Miller's Charlie Brown [link]
I need brain bleach. Wandering through the cafeteria, I just saw a woman dressed in black "wet-look" leggings (so, high-gloss spandex), a cream/khaki thigh-length sweater (which I think had sequin details), and a pair of those open-toe high-heeled "boots"
1987 called.
They want their look back.
Please, to keep it under lock and key lest it escape again.
(I'm envisioning large, over-permed hair with bangs sprayed straight up completing this "outfit.")
