Subject: RE: BS: AAAARGH! I gotta wear a tux! From: GUEST,MMario Date: 18 Jul 05 - 11:19 AM WESLEY! geesh - can't I have a little support here? okay - notes to myself - buy a dress shirt before the fitting. wait! I don't have to! I have the new one I bought for Dickens festival last year and never wore....*sigh* white dress shirt. shades of the ten years I had to wear white shirts as a cook. Hated them then, hate them now. Kim is gonna OWE me big time. What's a dress shoe? (I own 1 pair of shoes. of course I will be renting the shoe w/ the Tux.) of course rental on the tuxes - I know "experts" say buy - but since the last time I was even in a suit coat was for CelticSoul's wedding two (three?) years ago What are the chances I'll ever need to wear a tux again? Or did I skip the coat and just wear the tie for that. I don't remember. I know it was only one or the other. The last time I wore BOTH was for another wedding a couple years before that - and only because both bride and groom were friends. Jeff - there's a reason beyond cost that I wear peasant garb....*grin* Of course - My sister's idea at first was that I should be in full ren-garb for the ceremony (I nixed that in the bud) HOpefully the rental place will be able to fit me. I've got the legs of a dwarf and the arms of an orangutang. (Seriously - finding "off the rack" stuff with a SHORT enough inseam or LONG enough sleeve is a major pain for me. That's *IF* I can find the waist or neck size needed in the first place. Shoes I can always fudge by going up a size or two to get the width I need.) [whinge mode on] But I don' wanna wear a tie! Bow ties are Dorkie! The shoes pinch my toes. Not to mention it'll be HOT! {whinge mode off] |

Subject: RE: BS: AAAARGH! I gotta wear a tux! From: Wesley S Date: 18 Jul 05 - 10:54 AM In a previous life I used to sell mens clothing. Here is some advice for when you go for your fitting : 1- It's not the tailors fault. Don't take it out on him. 2- They've heard all of the jokes about monkey suits and penguins. Don't go there. 3- Wear a dress shirt with a collar to the fitting. 4- Take a pair of your own socks to the fitting also. You don't want to put on the socks that everyone else uses. Trust me. 5- Have it fitted as soon as possible. Bite the bullet. Get it over with. 6- If your niece gives you an option go for a single breasted tux with a shawl or notch lapel. They look the the best on a wide varity of body shapes. 7- If they put a wide pleated belt around your waist it's a cummerbund. The pleats go up. They were designed to hold theater tickets. 8- Spring for the formal shoes. Nothing looks worse than a tux with your dress shoes. Yes - it matters. The women will notice. What's the plus side ? 9- Prepare for sex. If you can act casual as if you wear a tux all the time and don't tug at your collar like a school boy at his first dance the women will find you irresistible. They will want to touch you and take you home with them. Just try to refrain from saying "My name is Mario - M Mario". |

Subject: RE: BS: AAAARGH! I gotta wear a tux! From: wysiwyg Date: 18 Jul 05 - 10:26 AM You deserve this! You shall be re-effing-SPLEN-dent! :~) And cute as all git-out! Get one that feels really, really good. Sinfully luxurious. We want pix, of course, but so do you-- for your publicity kit. Personally, I want a life-size cutout as a permanent installation in ther MudDorm Attic! So get a shot stretched out, that I can put up there on your bed, OK? ~Susan |

Subject: BS: AAAARGH! I gotta wear a tux! From: GUEST,MMario Date: 18 Jul 05 - 10:01 AM So the niece is gettting married in October. Good news. in Fact great news. Which became even better when she asked me to sing at her wedding. Still good news. then she asked me to walk her down the aisle along with her father. Estatic news. Mind-bending happy news. And now she's making me wear a tux. AAARRRGGGHHHHH! 'cours she's had me wrapped around her little finger since the day I walked 25 miles each way to see her the day she was born. But she KNOWS I don't do suitcoats let alone ties. and she's making me put on a TUX!!!! Then she's moving to Japan - so I won't even be able to retaliate |
