Okay Dean, repeat after me.
I will NOT ask if a woman is pregnant unless I know for sure.

I know! I know! And what makes it worse I said it to Mardi from Town Hall Gallery. Who's such a lovely person!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mardi for the first time early this week..... and she didn't look pregnant to me. OOPS!

I hear on the grapevine that you and a couple other distinguished gentlemen might be doing a show there too? I hope that's not confidential because I just couldn't handle another verbal slip-up this week.

Oh Dean, there's a rule about that.

The rule is NEVER.

Doug, it was horrible! It's not like she's big or anything. It's just that she was wearing one of those peasent tops that's the fashion these days, and I'm surrounded at home with pregnant people at the moment, and ... and ... It is too late to plead tempory insanity?

Just say "aw, you know us artists... we're all visual inputs... I saw the top and the angle you were standin at and my mind just asked the question..." hehe

Good luck! 8O

I was going to ask you if she was wearing one of those sorts of tops that are in fashion now - because on the skinniest of people they look a little like maternity tops :) - thats a good out for you :) heheh ya poor thing

Damn the kids and their whacky fashions! DAMN THEM!
All you can REALLY do is change your name and leave the country. NOW before it's too late!!!!! (!!!!!)

I'm sure she took in good humour though didn't she? Hopefully? Fingers crossed? Running out of the room melodramtically screaming and sobbing while cursing your name probably NOT a good sign.

You know Mardi. She's such a cool person. She just said a joke and brushed it aside. But I hate to think that I made her feel bad in anyway.

And my new name will be Miguel. I hear the Canary Islands are nice this time of year :)

Oh Dean..didn't you learn anything from MAD magazine? You ask "when are you expecting?" and if she says she's not pregnant, you quickly add "..this drought to let up?"

Dean, I was always taught if you ever slipped the question "Are you pregnant?" and the answer was a "No", then you should follow it up with, "Well you should be! We'd make lovely babies together!!"

I'm sure Mardi would be pretty cool about it. I think.

And I also agree, I hate this current trend with those pregnant / maternity-like dresses. I love the leggings / stockings that go with this fashion trend however.

Anyway, don't worry about it. I forgave you eventually when you asked if I was pregnant last time...
