Leawood... Probably not the best idea IMO.

Well guys,
It is my observation that many people wear the uniforms of the groups they belong to, and take on the group actions of the people they associate with. Examples are: hippies, cowboys, military, biker, LE, and etc.
Think about it: we all wear uniforms of different sorts that project different meanings to people. But some people have forgotten that they can change their uniforms: can the hippy shave off his beard, get a haircut, take a bath, buy new black leather business shoes a tie and a $1000 suit? Of course he can.
Think about it: if a woman walks into a hotel with tattoos showing, stripper platform shoes, ratted hair, heavy makeup, and a dress with her boobs hanging out; most people will say, look at that whore over there. But the same lady can walk in with a totally different outfit and no one will even think she is in the hobby.
it is all in how you blend in with everyone else. If you think that the people can't spot you for what you are, instantly: just keep wearing your uniform that labels you.
We all want to be accepted for who we are; but, when it comes to hobby security it is about not letting anyone know we are in the hobby - both men and women. Just why, would anyone let the tattoos show when they can easily cover them up?" When we are meeting for an appointment, it is not to advertise the situation to others. It is not the time for your clothing and actions to yell as everyone: "hi everyone, look at me".
Just because you are in the city doesn't mean that you are not constantly being observed by others. I know, not as much as the small town where everyone, and I mean everyone, knows about who you are and what you are doing. But, it still happens.
Duh, hi stupid to anyone who can't follow this, or thinks it doesn't apply to them. It applies to everyone.
