Hi,
>Then there's Night of Soiled Dove. Is there a conflict here? If I
>can't wear most outrageous outfit that night, this event isn't for
>me!
If I remember correctly this issue was raised and discussed at length
prior to the first NSD in 2004???
NSD is a special activity that requires participants to jump a few hoops
and be prepared for some extra rules...eg no cameras. You have to
register and get a special pass or pin to go and only a limited number
are allowed (30 or so IIRC)
The issue, if one exists, and is well stated in various documents, is
that whatever you wear must either be suitable to get to and from your
hotel to the start point or you need to have some coverup / coverall.
Again, as in most of the discussion this more about making sure there is
a minimal amount embarrassment and risk to those getting to the group
congregation point than what happens at the activity itself.
Once on our way and at NSD I would suggest there is much lesser concern.
As for outrageous... Well as long as its decent I think it is probably
OK. I am reminded or a recent NSD where only girl had a very short skirt
and with a thong and her balls hanging out either side of it, clearly
visible to all. You can call me a prude but I did think that was pushing
well past the decency limits!
Aiko runs NSD and I'm sure she will be able to provide better guidance on
"outrageous acceptability".
>Watching and thinking about all the chatter online re: DLV is
>suggesting to me that everyone should be on their best behavior.
>Especially no outrageous dress or activity.
I think it is every ones best interests to show a modicum of common
sense and decent behaviour at all times. Most especially provide respect
for the group as a whole when in the congregated group settings.
Hugs
Michelle
