What I call the "Einstein Defense" has gotten me off (so to speak) from more "Public Nudity"
charges than I can count -- which, when I'm facing a judge... is up to 21.

And it was one I had made and used for SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) events.

I don't wear dresses. I wear pants or jeans. And yes, I am a woman.

I found the idea of wearing "dress shoes" so traumatizing that I refuse to ever wear a dress again.

I used to have some of those long flow-y dresses, but I gave them to the thrift shop years ago.

They celebrated their fifth anniversary this month. I wonder what I've done with that thing. Anymore, my idea of "dress shoes" is anything other than flip flops. If I had to attend a function where I really needed to dress up, I'd have to go buy something.

But my clothes are quite simple. In the summer, culottes (divided skirt). In the winter, or cool/cold weather, long pants. Year-round, polo shirts, and in cold weather, turtle-neck shirts.

It does make dressing fast and basically uncomplicated.
