How good do you feel? And how do you rate in the above system? (females, males, and wombats of any persuasion may apply) /* ---------- */ Well, since you went and asked about wombats by name, and I'm feeling talkative with no persuasion at all... 2 colors - blue jeans, blue tennies, lavender T-shirt (took the brown socks off earlier today when I noticed they weren't purple) glasses - do I have to add an extra point for aviators? F-4 Phantom II belt buckle - rather visible watch - not a silly digital with a metal or plastic band, mind you, but one with mechanical parts with a leather band (and why is it so hard to find a plain, black leather watchband?) simple shoes - you can't get much simpler than your basic converse basketball shoe, and these don't even have open toes or heels yet.. eye-arresting features - well, this T-shirt (American Association of Uppity Women) does seem to attract more attention than most of my others. does waist-length hair get included here? Golly, zowee, 4753 points! (did I count that right? no? only 7 or so points? maybe I need more practice?) Still, only two more points and I could be in business? Somehow, I don't think wearing nail polish and putting a bow on my T-shirt is going to get me anywhere on Wall St. And whoever made this list up seems to think glasses are some kind of fashion accessory that you can add or drop to get your points right! Sure, I can see without them, but it gives me a headache if I try that for too long. I guess I shouldn't be invited to any parties, either, since I don't own any make-up or nail polish or earrings. Maybe if I wore all my necklaces and got a chain for my glasses I could make it up to 14 points? Right. Red hair, fer chrissake. This could lead to another "I Hate Dondi" sort of contest...
