I am now realising two dress-code related things: if we're not allowed to wear logos on our clothes, I'm probably not allowed to wear my superhero belt buckles, which is woefully disappointing. You have no idea how radical they are. So fucking cool. Also, for all the talk in the email about BUSINESS casual, long velvet skirt and heavy boots was not in the spirit of the law. Oops.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Our wings are not tired.
le nubian, right, no, I get that it's supposed to be a window into a different time. I just wonder if it will get revisited.

But...a shirt with a Pepsi logo is pimping Pepsi. But Green Lantern isn't real. (Much to Allyson's relief.) You're not actually pimping Green Lantern Corp. (Or Batman Inc.)
Silly dress code.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Are you literally not allowed to wear a Gucci belt? Or an Izod polo? That seems equivalent to me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Wasn't it only until the 1970s that a husband raping his wife was a crime?
Mid-'70s. I remember some very heated arguments on the subject.

What about a Louis Vuitton purse?
This reminds me of my mom's dress code, where women could not where khaki's, but men were to wear "Dockers or Haggar pants". Which is sort of weird, because I think Haggar is a (sears?) store brand. She worked for a county department of Social Services.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
They will make a charming as hell geeky trio.
That they will.

Huh. I mean, technically speaking you are totally right, but somehow in my head there's a difference between a bat belt buckle and the word "juicy" written in glitter across your chest.

That's bananas.

Oo, good point. Most any designer purse, come to think of it. Weirds.

The exact line from the dress code is "Logo clothing (sport teams, cartoon characters)" But my belt buckles are chrome and classy! Srsly. Totally better than Gucci or Bizon (wait, no, that's a gun--do I mean Birkin? silly brain) or Louis Vitton.
Jeans aren't allowed to have any fading or fraying, which, oops. Mine do have a bit of both, but only a little. I should probably get off my hiney.
