(On the way to the appointment: mailing a couple auction items people won in May at the @OtherwiseAward fundraising auction. https://otherwiseaward.org/donate in case you want to drop a buck in there too. Donations help celebrate sf/f that explores gender. Not my gender performance explorations today.)
I have phoned the store and confirmed that they do indeed have the socks in stock so I can see them today. Staffer was going to check whether they have the color I want. I said I'm more interested in it "as a garment" and not any particular "colorway" (am proud of bringing in that last phrase)
Regardless, a different staffer has texted me to ask which color I am interested in; I have replied that I believe they have the orange in stock, which would work for me
A month ago, a guy at a local Democratic club, who knows that I write about local politics but not for a media institution, asked if I'm a social media influencer
I said no
But (a) definitions???? & (b) tomorrow I plan to take photos, as I try on a scarily expensive garment, to later post online
"scarily" in that I recognize that I could commit a sitcom-esque series of pratfalls that would lead to me damaging merchandise and owing a fashion shop the equivalent of rent for a two-bedroom apartment not too far from the subway
