Ann came in a few minutes later and took a seat on the floor just to my right. She sat cross-legged and started to speak pretty quickly.

"I thought it would be a good idea for us to have a staff meeting today, and I asked Bob if that were O.K. because I wanted to make sure that we got an issue out in the open."

Everyone was paying attention.

Ann continued: "Let's be frank about this. We are probably the only office in New York, maybe the whole country, where we go about our business undressed."

"I think I told each of you when you came to work here that part of what we have to do is be here to make Bob happy. Happy with our work and happy that we are working for him, and part of that is to make it interesting for him to look at us."

"What I was unsure about is how each of us would react to our unique dress code. But it has become obvious to me that we are getting less accomplished on Tuesdays and Thursdays than I thought, considering that it is unusual for our work to be interrupted by outside visitors."

"I think I know what the issue is. Each of us is finding our and each other's nakedness distracting. Like you Maria."

As one everyone looked at Maria while Ann continued: "It has been obvious to me that you can't keep your hands away from your nipples. I see you constantly flicking them and teasing them." Maria blushed furiously.

"And you too, Jodi. Don't think we don't know what is happening when you disappear to the ladies room for half hours at a time."

"As for you Allie, my little squirming devil, your set of ben wa balls certainly animates you on these days."

There was a look of embarrassment mixed with astonishment at Ann's articulation of what we had all noticed but not commented on.
