Hey guys,
I am going to a really important gig in a few weeks and I want to impress
one of the guys in the band. We kind of have a history together and I really
want to blow him away this time (No, not like you might be thinking). I
want to wear an outfit that will captivate him. I have an hourglass figure
(aka big breasts, curvy, and long legs). I have lots of low cut tops and
short skirts but I am concerned that wearing a low cut shirt and a short
skirt would be too over the top. What do you think? (I also don't want him
to think that I came to the gig and dressed up just for him.....I am worried
about that because most girls who go to gigs just wear jeans and a t-shirt).

I am only going to warn you once: DO NOT TRY TO HOOK UP WITH A GUY FROM A BAND. Those 'rock and roll' guys are all creeps. They are only after one thing, and that is free food and a place to sleep. If you give this guy an opening he'll be sleeping on your couch for 3 months, not showering, growing his dreads, and letting groundhogs live in his long, unkempt hair.
Of course if you are willing to put up with this kind of commitment, then try wearing something classy, perhaps backless, and spin whenever you enter a room. You can't beat a good entrance to catch everyone's attention. You could also try wearing the backless number backwards. |

Rock n' roll is all about being "over the top". Wear what you feel comfortable in. If short skirts and low cut tops make you feel good, then wear that.
If you want to be noticed you might have to go that extra step (since there will be competition from the other groupies). I suggest a low cut RATT or Poison tour shirt with the sleeves cut off, short skirt with studded belt, knee high socks, and some cool sneaks. |

I say wear a one piece spandex jumpsuit, like Ric Flair, with "Greco's Health Shack" emblazoned on the front. That or wear a Vuarnet.
For real...if you want to get his attention...wear a shirt that indicates you are ready to blow him after the show. |
