Used the title up in the following

Yesterday I stopped by Barnes and Noble for a magazine gorging and wandered into the tail end of a Maureen Dowd booksigning. Girlfriend was rocking a silk chartreuse (exactly the color of Nicole Kidman's famous Dior Oscar dress) suit, over a purple spaghetti strapped tank top (she took the jacket off while signing books), a solid two inch pair of heels, and nude fishnets. They make nude fishnets? That's so... subtle. She was wearing lots of make-up, and basically, looked all sex-kittened out.
I can't figure if what surprised me about her outfit was that she had one- I've been to lots of readings and I couldn't tell you what a one of the authors wore. A solid color skirt? Pants? A shirt? With buttons? Black?-or that it was so carefully considered and intentionally sexy. Maureen Dowd is clearly committed to making sure no one ever thinks she's dowdy (more than just a bad pun: for all we know that was how she got teased in junior high school), and that says something about her, though I'm not sure what. She likes cloths? She wants to look attractive? Or, maybe she courts the drama a little, and is happy to hear she's been mentioned on Gawker.
