Hee hee. It’s just too funny because my sister was telling me about a great PBS show on these people who lived all over the country, but never actually met and only communicated online with little avatars. So then I had to tell her about how we were all advising you on your job interviews, and she just about died laughing (’cause she’d just watched the show the night before). Then she had to provide more interview advice. So you’re getting advice from the imaginary relatives of your imaginary friends.

I am not imaginary, Mabs! Just because I ride a unicorn doesn’t mean I’m not real.

PS thanks for the tip.

Wouldn’t it stand to reason that all SELF-PORTRAITS of the same person would be done by the same artist?

Otherwise it’s just a portrait.

Well, this is an 18th century painting, so it is quite possible it is him in his younger days.

Nucky, my sister said to try Fruit of the Loom tank tops — high cut, decent looking fabric. Get a couple in black, dark blue, chocolate brown, neutrals to go with whatever you have already. Pretty inexpensive.

Is it sad that I’m talking to my IRL sister about my imaginary internet friends? *wanders off to talk to non-internet imaginary people*

You can also try Land’s end (which is at Sears). They carry the separates which teachers wear–high scoop necks, high v-necks. Good work rules: no boobs, no butts, no bellies!

Well, the funniest ones tend to be pretty nonpartisan or preachy on here. I’ll agree that we tend to think the ones we agree with are funnier. I think a lot of us write some pretty heavy-handed ones sometimes. Which is fine as long we balance it out with some actually funny ones. However, there is also EWAdams who many of us liberals might agree with politically, but despise due to his preachiness and arrogance. And the funny ones tend to spark less controversial conversation as well. LOL

Yeah, I try to stay away from the comments mostly these days. I feel as passionately about my political views as you do, and since we are polar opposites on most everything it is too easy for me to get fired up. I do appreciate the compliment, coming from you it is particularly meaningful. I will say that political humor without politics is far less interesting than the political humor, as evidenced by the low comment count on this one. Even SNL uses their political humor as a platform to push the writers’ political view points. If you agree with them it’s funny, if you don’t then you won’t like it.

Thrift stores are your friends.
Seriously, why pay $50 for a dress shirt when someone has donated one that they wore a couple of times (or not at all!!) that sells for $2-5?

A high cut tank or camisole can go under that horribly revealing shirt and make it acceptable. Or a looped scarf to conceal that decolletage. Layering is IN.

Thanks, mabs, got a call back to meet the lawyer. Got another interview today and a third tomorrow. Sigh, I just don’t know if I can afford a whole new wardrobe if they thought the shirt I was wearing yesterday was “revealing”.

Yes, this is not photoshopped. It is a real self-partrait that hangs in the Louvre. Another self-potrait of him yawning done by the same painter, Joseph Ducreux, hangs in the Getty.

Nucky, I feel for you. *sigh* At the VERY conservative (in a dress sense, not political) place I worked in San Diego, I usually wore button down shirts (hope that’s what they’re called up north ) with a brooch. Worked out okay for me since I like vintage jewelry, but finding a button down shirt that actually fits over any kind of bust can be tricky.

The entertaining thing is that studies I have read about ‘dress for success’ for women indicate that male office workers find things like turtlenecks that fit well over ‘the girls’ more sexy than just an open collar shirt.* IMO, dress codes are frequently not reason-based.

*Okay, I am assuming that you aren’t going to be unbuttoning the shirt down to the belly button.

Good luck with the job hunt.
