What's your tactical ballgown?

Hi friends,

I wrote a new blog post that you might enjoy. I just finished reading Promises Stronger Than Darkness by Charlie Jane Anders. It's the last novel in a young adult space opera trilogy. My post isn't a review, but it does start with an idea from the novel that stuck with me, the tactical ballgown. Here's a little excerpt:

An icebreaker is a pickup line for making friends. Like a pickup line, it immediately signals your intention. "What's your tactical ballgown?" could be a great icebreaker.

What's your tactical ballgown? Utterances that undermine their own purpose and clothing that’s the right amount of too much

Thanks for reading and see you on the internet!
