I don't like tights... So I wear my seamed stockings to work... Problem is i work on a cardiac ward (not nursing mind you!).

One of our patients was a dancer in her youth and had some brilliant tales to tell! Not sure what matron thinks, althogh our pharm is a bit burly/ vintage so we have some good laughs.

They don't like that I used to do a lot of modeling though, even less that I used to do a lot of art nude.

I often wear seamed stockings to work and always get comments but I try to keep the 2 seperate. I always find it funny that back in the day people thought it was saucy to wear stockings without a seam and now it's the other way round!

Yeah thats really funny isnt it! I love my seamed stockings. My stockings seem to continually run though, I wear stockings almost every day and I got through them at a shocking rate. Even if I buy expensive pairs they still run. It is so frustrating.

Thank you very much, Tempest! I just found out a friend of mine is a fantastic portrait photographer and used him on my last promo shoot for Rockaburley w Daiquiri Dusk. To see more of his work go on Flickr and search for the person Potatojunkie. His name is Stuart Crawford and he's one of those irritatingly talented people.

Could go in your favour...they'd come marching up to the desk about to have a go at you because they haven't had any money, suddenly realise they've seen you in slightly less modest attire, and become too flustered and embarrassed to remember what they were going to complain about.

I used to do that too - but my employers definitely don't have a clue - over exposure can be poisonous!

Tell them your lifestyle is most definitely unsavoury - you like it to be a sweet as possible!

I realise this is slightly off the general theme of the thread as it's not a burlesque related attack, but I had a serious day job attack this morning. Let me just say, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Right, now that's out. I manage a small team in a finance company and hadn't even sat down, I mean literally still had my backpack on (I walk to work) and had to walk straight in and pluck someone from an argument and get them into an office to talk. Then 10 mins later while I was off talking to someone who witnessed the whole thing they came back and started the same accusations all over again with one of the other employees then left. They had very much lost control and I've spent the last 5 1/2 hours sorting out the repercussions. I'm talking serious, 'I should never have come in today' kind of drama.

Well moving on. More reason for me to keep working on my performances! I'm just not used to that kind of confrontation. Anyone else had a serious 'wow they just totally lost it' moment at work?
