am i alone in thinkin
- upon readin the "black-tie" bit on an invite to some posh ball [in this case, the forthcomin george washington ball to be held by the wee island yank association] - that the unwritten rule for bird's to tog out in formal frocks is:
1. completely outmoded
2. totally sexist
3. utterly daft
4. utter bollocks
besides, a ridiculous request for those who are built like twig's. like yers truly.
the words "black tie" never fail to annoy me. as long as my trouser suit are stylish and in black, and then with a string of lurvely pearl's to go along; won't i look as erm, gorgeous as the next bird?
oh and that pair of glasses for magnifying maximum effect.
i wonder who's the fuckin defective idiot that first came up with the idea of the gowned-ditzy-and-blingtastic helium-filled airhead of the ball. and what's more amazin is that bird's are willing to subject emselves to such tosh.
but of course, since it's an opportunity to engage in an eyedagger-throwin compo especially true amongst wee island cheapskate's not to be missed to become the centre of attention. oh, and must champagne be served? how come not guinness?!
and i have to pay 200 wee island quid to attend said ball? the words daylight and robbery came to mind.

as blahed by the letter b @ January 6, 2006 10:35 AMI don't know why you can't wear the equivilant of a woman's tux. You see celebrities doing it all the time. Make sure you wear heels tho.
You sound like you have legs like my youngest is destined to have. Dresses (short dresses) don't become her with her skinny legs.
Oh, go and have a great time. ;)
