CHATBOT: I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the fluorescent pink PVC catsuit that lay before me. To say I was out of my comfort zone would be an understatement. As someone who typically wore muted colors and conservative clothing, putting on the skintight garment felt like wearing my own personal Kryptonite.
