Artists in Business

I know what you're thinking. How in the world do I pull off that devil-may-care look without getting myself fired? Well, my friends, in the next few days I'll share with you some tried-and-true fashion tips that will help you maintain that "artist!" look without putting your paycheck on the line! Here's a little preview of what's to come:

Let's say one of your fellow employees passes by your desk and comments that you're looking a little scruffy lately.

"It's for a show," you'll reply. "You know. Shakespeare."

Dropping the "S bomb" is your key to victory! Not even corporate fatcats can compete with the Bard--and they know it! Soon you'll be the most interesting person on your floor and everyone will be asking you, "How's play practice going?" and "Have you been to any more try-outs?" Not only will you get to keep your artistic-looking curly locks, you'll get a tiny taste of what it's like to be famous!

Note: This is much easier to pull off if you're actually in a Shakespearean production. Don't forget, it's a sin to tell a lie! :^)
