::making a list, checking it twice::
I already have an Official Dopefest Miniskirt[sup]TM[/sup], so I’m already there. I suggested to my fella The Skirt, with one of those low-cut jackets with a push-up bra, and a fedora. I believe his head may have stopped spinning around by now, but I’m not quite sure.
Mine hasn’t 
When come back, bring pie.
Jeesh. If I go, it’ll be a men’s wool overcoat and a red fedora for me. Under that, probably my usual black pants, white top. I guess I could open a few extra buttons for the sake of the dopefest, but heck, I’m starting to wonder if I’m ritzy enough for this crowd.
I don’t think ritzy is quite the right word…
Oh, and I almost forgot: pie is gooooooood.
Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of skanky…
Ok, now you’re talkin.
I can’t make it to Vegas, but I will try to get to NYC.
Nah. Y’all aren’t ho-ish enough to be skanky.
Is there something between “ritzy” and “skanky” that carries connotations of both?
I mean, hell, it’s NEW YORK CITY. Ain’t that s’posed to be all s’phisticated?
Sexy does it for most of us, racin
Yeah, sexy just about does it. I got sexy oozing out of all my orifices.
Myabe I shoukd wear my sexy outfit…
Really? No offense, manny, but you’d look like crap in it.
I took two that True Pisces used on her NYCFest page last year. Check your mail!
Yeah, sure. I finally get a perfect opportunity to use Fathom’s ‘exorcist’ smiley, and it’s on the wrong board. Sheesh. :smack:
Lordy Lou – *Geobabe in a miniskirt, low-cut jacket, push-up bra, fedora, and bringing PIE!!!
We have entered the realm of Dave’s most secret fantasy here…
I really am a coding idjit. That’s twice in one post.
Preview, dammit, preview!
And have some more coffee.
Just a note on what people wear:
I know that there’s always a lot of talk about the crazy get-ups that some folks will be wearing to the big dopefests.
However, as unofficial chair of the unofficial New York Dopefest Disorganizing Committee, I just want to point out that the vast majority of the people that attend wear perfectly normal every-day outfits. The typical attendee will be wearing jeans or slacks with an ordinary shirt, blouse, sweater or sweatshirt.
That isn’t to say we don’t love the folks that show up in fedoras, mini-skirts, low-cut blouses, kilts, or cleavage-emphasizing leather cut-away shirts. And chatting up the outfits is part of the pre-dopefest fun. But don’t worry about feeling out of place if you show up in jeans and a sweatshirt.
As long as it’s a low-cut, cleavage-emphasizing leather cut-away sweatshirt.
No, seriously, Billdo’s correct. There is no Fest uniform, so don’t feel compelled to wear anything.
[sub]hmmmm…that didn’t come out right…[/sub]
Beside which, your typical DoperWimmin need not try to look hot. She simply … is.
[sub]And don’t even get me started on the boys … mmmmmmmmm, boys.[/sub]
Oh, sure, Billdo, now you tell me!
Just what the hell am I supposed to do now, with this tear-away kilt?
I’ll be wearing a tiara (scroll down). Is that OK? 
Well, wear pants, shoes and a shirt, too. A lot of restaurants in NYC adhere to at least a minimal dress code. Holdover from the Giuliani “quality of life” days, ya know.
