(Yes, I'll get back to my other memes eventually, but I want to play with my shinies right now.)
You may blame my newfound love of the Detective Inspector Chen novels for this entirely.

"Coquette," she said fondly, and her reflection grinned.
She really was a lovely demon - gold skin, gold wings, topaz eyes, topaz lips. But lovely demons were a dime a dozen. Mere beauty wasn't a reason for pride; certainly it was entirely worthless to her as a member of the Ministry of Lust. Any amateur could make someone lust for something beautiful.
Ilah considered the matter of her clothes. Jewel-colors, she decided, to complement her skin. More importantly, something covering and loose. A high-collar cut to flash just a tantalizing bit of her throat, her skirt torn in a thousand artful ways that should flash her legs to anyone but wouldn't ever reveal a scrap of golden skin. Bare arms, of course, because you couldn't go too far overboard with this covering-up.
Besides, bare arms showed how muscular she was. No soft and well-fed Imperial whore was she.
Insect-eyed servants arranged her long hair in a cascade down her back, and she adjusted the dress a little tighter across her chest. Not enough to be blatant, of course, but it wouldn't do for the Minister of War to forget she was a woman.
Ilah smiled and picked up the second invitation to have arrived in her office that morning. His Imperial Majesty was having one of his little soirees to bring the movers and shakers of the ministries together and watch them bicker.
Of course, any invitation from the Jade-Eyed Emperor over-rode anything else she might do.
A bit of a pity, since the first invitation had been from Azulon to go hunting.
