"How do you feel about jumping me?"

[thelibraniniquity]

The Mother has a Hot Date (tm) this Wednesday, and in a moment of utter insanity has asked me what she should wear.

All notion of me being the last person anyone should go to for relationship advice, the fastest reply I could come up with was, "Something that says 'Jump me!' but doesn't yell it?"

We banter for a moment on possible outfits and messages that can be conveyed by said outfits. [Dialogue removed to protect The Mother.]

It turns out to be a matter of wording. "What you need is an outfit that politely asks 'How do you feel about jumping me?'."

She ponders this for a moment. "Something brown... I've got that brown velvet dress..."

Okay, then.

Direct quote from The Mother: "Am a little worried about brown dress now, THANK YOU VERY MUCH."

Don't worry, she's a bit mad too! Especially when it comes to agonising over her appearances for Hot Dates. And she's got two dates over the next two weeks, so this is going to get pretty... interesting pretty quickly ;)

Tell her from me... this is a weather dependent conundrum. If its sunny fine weather, then brown and/or velvet is a BAD BAD plan. If it is autumnal, then it becomes perfectly advisable to wear autumnal colours, but despite what the magazines are saying, if she's wearing a textured fabric like velvet, she ought to go light and peachy on the lippy.

Also, ACCESSORIZE!!! Team any outfit with a customised oversized clutch for an updated but effortlessly classy look.

Why yes, my name is Gok Wan. However did you guess?

I read your comment aloud to my mother. She lol'd.

She also says to inform you that the brown dress is strappy enough to survive a balmy Sussex evening, and that through her design circles she will let Gok know what a great advocate of his philosophies you are ;)

Gok is actually a God. A GOD AMONGST US. Hence the popular phrases "I gokked it"//"it's been gokked"//"i've been gokked"// and the verb "To Pull A Gok"

If he wasn't some sort of higher being, then he clearly wouldn't have somehow infiltrated the english language to such an epic degree.
