A quick clarification...

...regarding my last post:

It's not the fact that I have to wear a skirt that's really driving me to pound nails into my eyes*. It's the fact that I have to wear the shittiest clothing colour known to mankind.

White washes people out, it stains recockulously easily, and it's boring. The boys of my class get to wear a nice bright purple, with robes that aren't naturally somewhat translucent.

This fact alone is enough to make me into a feminist.

Yeah.

MOOP!

*Note, I am not actually pounding nails into my eyes.

Pound them into your teachers eyes! More cathartic and we'll all have the fun of watching the subsequent trial. (You'll get off for justifiable assault. )

We graduated outdoors and it was sweltering.

And the Supt. of schools gave a long boring speech that went on and on and on... (he was up for re-election)

So someone (not me unfortunately) started bouncing a beachball around, but one of his goons took it and popped it.

The people in the stands booed that action because they were bored, too.

Skirt, eh? Hmm...

See, your problem is just that you're too young. If you had graduated three years ago you would be wearing silver instead. The silver was nice. Despite the fact that it's difficult to match (shoes, dresses, etc., at least so far as I understand it), I think it was stupid to change to white. I'm sorry.

If it makes you feel better, our HS colors were brown and white. So the boys had to wear an very ugly brown, and us girls had to wear white. Yuck. At least our white wasn't too see-through. And they didn't require a certain color, just that it be nice.

American Apparel has awesome cotton skirts that are really comfortable, and white is one of the colors. Maybe get the skirt there.

I do feel your pain.

If you are interested in avoiding having any permanent records of the translucency,
you could hide a battery powered photoflash in slave mode inside your gown. Then,
if it senses any other flashes going off (i.e. someone taking a picture of you), it will
go off as well, replacing your gown with a blast of light. If you wish also to avoid
people knowing your doing this (or wondering why your gown is flashing), you can
use a flash with an infrared filter. Note that I am willing to lend you such a flash.
