The Empress' New Clothes project:
The Empress' and the divine Ms. K's quest for fame, fortune, fashion or at least a beer. The inital bet: How many days can The Empress, go without repeating an outfit at work? Basic rules: The outfit must be worn at least a half-day at work, photographed and publically posted via the internet. Bottoms can be repeated (skirts, pants, shorts) but the top must change making the feel of the outfit change and the accessories must change. All outfits must come from my existing wardrobe (nothing bought, borrowed, found or stolen; mending but no alterations allowed). Shoes do not count. Props do not count and are only added to compliment the outfit and augment the theme. A theme is not required but has become expected by our legions of fans. Open challenge: Do you think you have more outfits than I do? Do you know anyone who might (and would wear them to work and would document it/publish it every work day). Prove it...

Several months later:
Sealed bets revealed that Ms. K guessed 38, the Empress guessed 66. The Empress won and we have many outfits to go and we are now accepting the infusion of new garments. So we decided to take our quest to the larger world. In fact, we are going to try to create awhole new category for world records, nevermind the record itself. As of now, we intend to go from November 1, 2005 - November 1, 2006.

Debatable artistic and entertainment merit aside, it's all about clothes and how by changing your clothes you can change your personality (it's a girl thang). Outfits that get voted out of the closet may be given away (though we reserve the right to disagree). Remember this is about quantity more than quality. Of course I wouldn't really be caught dead in some of these things even outside of work, even if I worked alone (quoting one post).

Finally, we want money. Forget the fame. We actually want cold hard cash. We both have very good causes that we would support, namely our own sanity. So if you have any ideas how we can exploit the ClothesHorseWhisperer, each other, ourselves, other consenting adults please share. Anyone trying to exploit us, however, will be severely punished (see day Day 49 - Photo shoot discipline).

Hope you enjoy it even a fraction as much as we have and remember dress for the life you want not the one you have.
