Hola, it’s Vizzy! I work hard to keep my fur fuzzed, so I was asked to do a special guest post on LCO style. MagAO has been immersed in the culture of LCO for a month, and they are a stylish bunch indeed. Here we go!
Yours truly, guest blogger
LCO is a pretty stylin’ place.
Caution: Style ahead.
What with the jumpsuits,

and steel-toe shoes…

MagAO worked at LCO in style.
LCO staff always inspire me to keep up my look:

He also donated his clean-room jacket to the cause of sun protection for the ASMPovilas Palunas kicks it in my favorite steel-toe boots
Laird Close, the PI of MagAO, is a style leader as well.
