Pettable Clothing

A co-worker of mine came in to the bar tonight and she had this great faux velvet black jacket on. It was tres sheek! I gave her a hug while I was talking to her and I had to tell her that I loved that she was wearing pettable clothes. Now she did promptly tell me that I was special, but we all knew that anyway. So here is my thing with pettable clothes. When it comes to clothes, particularly clothes shopping, I am not only ADD, but I am tactiley motivated. I will walk through racks of clothes usually moving fairly quickly, because I don't have the attention span to take too long. Once I spot something that is eye catching, whether it is the cut of the outfit or the pattern on the fabric that catches me, the first thing I do is touch the fabric. I never stop unless the fabric feels good. Now don't pretend like you don't know what I am talking about. I may look like a three year old running my fingers along the racks of clothes, but you know what I mean! So, only after it has caught my attention, AND feels good, do I actually pause my forward momentum and examine the clothing item closer.
Now there is nothing that I love more while shopping, than to find a cute shirt or etc, that is pettable. You know, velvet or silk, or some fake man made stuff that you just want to touch. I like clothes that feel good to the touch. If I like the way they feel, someone else will too. And then I have someone rubbing on me. It makes me happy. Creepy I know. But it's true! If you are wearing something that feels good to touch someone else will touch it too! And if it is both sparkly and Pettable well then you have to know, if it's in my size it's coming home with me!

So where then do you stand on fur coats? Also, where are you bartending nowadays?

I stand on the Fake Fur coats side. They have come a long way in making them realistic. But in truth I am not the fur coat type, fake or otherwise. Just not a look that suits me. And I am at Arizonas as a server. That's how I knew Mike.

Fur adds bulk. Not something Nicole or I would be striving for.

I have pettable clothes too, I just didn't know what they were called. Love the term. I'm gonna use it!

I deploy mine on special occasions when I want to be tactilely inviting.
