Re: # 19 ...

I usually dress comfortable at a show, but this is for the Burlesque Hall of Fame Miss Exotic World Competition ... It's going to be a Grand Occassion. The ladies I'm going with, along with the hundreds that will be in attendance, will all be wearing their finest evening gowns, and will be dripping with diamonds & pearls & glitter & glam. I certainly will not be dressed lime a smuck that night.

Actually, the white dinner jacket tux will be for Legends Night, as the BHoF celebrates BQ dancers of yesteryear. Talloolah encouraged me to be dashing that night for the grand dames of burlesque. For competition night on Saturday, I'll wear a hip, contemporary jacket & slacks.

Welcome back adroomi ...

The ratio of beautiful woman will certainly be in my favor that weekend. I plan on getting my photo taken with plenty of dames.

hey Jet...........you should have got a light blue tux like Luther Van Damme's.

andy ... I can't find your example.

The girls told me classic early 60's attire ...

ie; Rat Pack / Sean Connery as James Bond ...

Jet......

My reference was obscure.........remember the show "Coach"?

In one episode, Luther had to wear a tux to some event and showed up in a ridiculous powder blue ruffled deal.

He felt ashamed and commented that he looked like "Englebert Pumpernickel".

It was a funny episode and it stuck in my head. I was hoping someone here would "get it".

Few folks probably get your obscure references, Andy, but hey, as long as YOU enjoy them that's what's important.

^that's how I feel.

Oh, jokes! I get jokes! HA HA HA HA HA!!

Andy, people are laughing With you...

wheel,

Not a fan of 70's-80's tuxedos, but thanks anyway.

I have a cool Tux...

I look like James Bond when I wear it...

wheel,

#10 Not for a summer event. In the winter I agree.

How tall was James Bond?

about 5-11..

lol

wheel,

I agree with the white dinner jacket. Chicks freak over them.

Note that, to be appropriate and classy, the traditional dinner jacket is an off-white wool, never pure white or poly. Legend has it that this is because off-white makes the occasional red wine spill less noticeable. Whether or not that's true, cognoscenti will approve of the off-white wool, but look disdainfully at the obvious dilettante in pure white.

So far the dames I'm going to Vegas are drooling over this tux. I looked high and low for the classic style cream colored jacket. Just about everyone had the bleached white version & that just looked cheap & high school to me. Plus, it was hard as hell to find the classic style shawl lapels, without going high end.

atta boy. Making us proud.

I can't wait to share photos of this event. I've said many times that my photo posting days on C-Bid were long gone, but this is going to be something worth sharing.
