Brainstorming Meeting !

Diane and Aditty wanted a male perspective and so had co-opted Stew onto their ad hoc committee, dedicated to building team morale throughout the year via Debbi's activities. "So what goes on in February. A bit of a naff month" Diane began. "All the more reason to brighten it up" said Stew. "There's Chinese new year" suggested Aditty. "I don't know what animal is this year though. "We can google it" said Stew. "If it was year of the dog would could get her naked and lead her around on all fours in a collar and leash ?" was Aditty's excited suggestion. "No such luck, it's year of the dragon" answered Stew having quickly checked. "Um, pity. Nothing immediately springs to mind with a dragon" Diane admitted. "What else ?"

"Valentine's Day" Aditty put forward. "She could be our naked Valentine in the magazine ?" offered Stew. "A bit tame" lamented Diane. "And you know we have to hide her bits for anything published in the mag. Also, we may have to fall back on a naked pin up later in the year if we have a month where we can't think of anything else." "Hmm, this month's beginning to feel a bit like that already" moaned Stew. "Oh come on, it's only February for god's sake. We can't let this opportunity slip" Diane encouraged them.

"The start of Lent. Shrove Tuesday, mardi gras, carnival ?" said Aditty. "But February weather in England's not like February in Rio or New Orleans" Stew pointed out. "No but maybe we could do something inside. Parade her around the offices in a ridiculous costume ? Tiny sparkly thong and heels and a big headdress ? Topless except for nipple tassels ?" Diane was getting inspired. "That sounds sexy rather than ridiculous" was Stew's opinion. "Perhaps if that's your thing" Diane replied scornfully. She did not much like the idea of the men finding Debbi sexy and much preferred it when she was ridiculous but either way, it succeeded in her aim of undermining her fellow manager. "Well give it a little more thought. "We've got some ideas there to be going on with" she concluded.

Author's note : Any readers have any other ideas for February ? Or preferences with Chinese new year, Valentine's or Mardi Gras ? Any comments welcome.
