No, it's not a 70's transploitation movie .. but maybe it should have been!
This is the sort of Corporate Training that I'd love to work on!
I saw the image on Pinterest and thought it was lovely to use in a caption, and it felt like a "going to work on the first day at a new job" vibe, and so I went with it. It had a "modified by AI" listed, but it seems copacetic to me .. wondering if someone was doing a "put my feminized male face on another model's body" sort of thing that seems to be happening more on Pinterest. Oh well!
And I got to use my favorite jack-of-all-trades Jenkins in this caption. This time, he gets to be the recipient of good fortune, as he gets both a new secretary AND a new lover. Perhaps his loyalty to the corporation is being rewarded, or maybe something else that I'd love you to tell me all about it in the comment section.
How did SHE become the way she is now? I honestly have no idea, and to me it's also fine to leave it like that. If you want it to be hormones and hypnosis, that's great! If you think it has something to do with magic, awesome! If you believe it's just straight up, "comply or you're going to jail or worse" crossdressing, etc .. I can see that too. I'd also enjoy seeing what you thought happened to her as you were reading the caption.
PS. I resisted using the "downsizing" thing again as I've used that in the past. I almost went with "got a pink slip" but I wasn't quite sure how to fit it in at the end BUT perhaps I will use it another time. "Got the boot" could work too depending on the outfit, which I might also use in the future. "Restructured" didn't seem to fit, so I skipped that one too. I think I might have used "streamlined" but not, "personnel realignment" yet.
Yeah, I think I used this song the last time there was someone dressed in pink. Sue me, I happen to LOVE ACDC!
Lovely image choice there. With the addition of your story, it's made for a lovely cap! TBH I was kind of surprised to see Jenkins on the 'right' side of one of your caps... not that I'm complaining, the poor man deserves it!
ReplyDeleteI pictured the star of the cap trying to use some new corporate tool that would have transformed Jenkins (nanobots? chemical?) but Jenkins turned it around and took advantage of the poor soul.
And how could anybody complain about AC/DC? Seriously!
Yeah, it's nice to see Jenkins catch a break, isn't it? Unofficially, in my head, Jenkins is gay-ish, and can't rise too far in the corporation since there is still that whole "boy's club" mentality where all the higher ups have "trophy wives," so when the protagonist was found out trying to blackmail the CEO .. which Jenkins helped foil .. they eliminated a bad egg, and still was able to help out by getting him a secretary / lover with "something extra".
DeleteAnd yes on AC/DC, though I did put up the wrong video of theirs. It was supposed to be "Sink the Pink" but instead the video was for "Danger" .. another song from the vary underrated, "Fly on the Wall" album!
Dee, you know what I’m going to say…I want that outfit! 🥰 I’m really not that way all the time but you seem to have an eye for looks that make me want to expand my wardrobe. I guess I don’t track your captions close enough to catch a trend, but I just thought this lovely gurl was blossoming under Jenkins ownership until the ending, where I thought Jenkins used magic to eliminate some competition and have a fun new toy at the same time.
ReplyDeleteYes, I get the distinct impression that your closets are just jam packed with outfits inspired by my captions!
DeleteThat is certainly one way that the story can be read, and I can definitely get behind that reading as it makes the most sense. Many times I leave things open for interpretation, and as long as readers get the gist of what I'm saying, I'm totally happy. There's been a few times where someone in the comments tell me what they think the plot is, and it's a much better story than I had in my mind!
