Yeah. I mean, imagine dropping a screwdriver on your foot, to point out the most obvious danger.

It was nice dressing down during retirement…but I do enjoy dressing up to a degree.

From:

elementarymydeer

You DO look nice fancied up.

From:

gottalearntoplayitright

A blessing and a curse. Who would have guessed that effort does actually make a difference?

From:

elementarymydeer

I could have guessed! But it does kinda make me glad I'm not an onstage kinda guy.

From:

gottalearntoplayitright

I'd been meaning to ask....did something happen? Not that something had to have happened, but...you do seem very 'dress up' averse. Attention averse? Something like that.

And you are not a particularly introverted guy, so...

From:

elementarymydeer

I lose out on a potential vigilante career change if my face becomes famous...

[Pauses mid nail clip-]

I cannot tell if that is a joke or serious...

From:

elementarymydeer

If people could see me coming, it would defeat the point, right?

From:

gottalearntoplayitright

Wouldn't that make you even more unexpected? Hiding in plain sight?

From:

elementarymydeer

It might! But more seriously, mm, I don't like following rules. If I had to perform and act a certain way, or present a certain image even if I didn't feel like it suited me, I'd start to chafe at it.

From:

gottalearntoplayitright

Fair enough.

[Switches legs, grabbing the other foot]

From:

elementarymydeer

Plus I'm bad at singing, dancing, and acting, and I'm not hot enough to make up the difference.

From:

gottalearntoplayitright

To be fair… You’d be surprised how average most idols are in all those areas when you start looking closely enough.

A good stylist, enough mixing, and celebrity status will do wonders on what people think. I’m a solid six on a good day.

From:

elementarymydeer

At LEAST seven for fluffy hair.

From:

[Cracks up a bit]

I forgot about the fluffy bonus!

From:

elementarymydeer

Can't leave those bonus points on the table.

From:

gottalearntoplayitright

[Digs out the file next, being careful since there’s less nail to work with]

Fluffy bonuses included at least you have back up career options if handyman doesn’t work out. I heard you know a guy in entertainment.

From:

elementarymydeer

Oh, do I benefit from the fluff bonus too?

From:

gottalearntoplayitright

Hmmmm…let me see.

[Lowers his shades to make a show of looking]

That’s some pretty top tier fluff.

From:

elementarymydeer

Fluff, fluff~

[ takes his hair down to make a point. ]

From:

gottalearntoplayitright

We’ll work on that next.

From:

elementarymydeer

Do you dabble in hairstyling too?

From:

gottalearntoplayitright

I can manage enough to look passable without my team. Had to do a lot of my own styling when I first joined my original agency. Lucky us though, the boat has Mr.Graeysteel here.
