I am proud to finally make it to journeyman. Not having a need to put on my slicker and search for anyone lost out in a dark and stormy night or the time to make 23! posts a day...I'm so happy not to be a newbie after so long!

Ladymoon ... Permit me to suggest :
Put on a recording of "Fanfare For The Common Man" or "Ode To Joy" and dance madly about the room.... long flowing scarfs to swirl about add greatly to the abandon!
Hurrah!TA-DAH!
wow
High Priestess
P.S. For any gentlemen who feel inclined to celebrate a promotion : dancing madly about while wearing "white tie and tails" provides an ambiance to suit the occasion..

white tie & tails
I'm sure you have the notion that if a gentlemen dons full evening dress, a.k.a. white tie [& tails} a.k.a. soup and fish, for dancing, he will look like Fred Astaire. Aside from the fact that not one in 10 milllion men owns a full evening kit and the cost of renting one is outrageous, the unhappy fact is that not one in 10 million men will ever look anything remotely like Fred Astaire. Most look like a penguin, and nothing could look sillier than a dancing penguin.

Certain situations call for laying out great lashings of cash. There are standards that must be maintained!

Nonsense. White-tie-and-tails, properly fitted, give any man a certain panache, a je ne sais what.
White-tie-and-tails enhance a man, his bearing and his manners!
And if that weren't enough, consider that women ohhh and ahhh over penguins, dancing or stationary.
I'm with *you, Jackie!

I already resemble a penguin in stature, girth, and gait, and dressing up to look like one would do nothing to disguise the fact that I move with all the silken grace and deftness of a Dubya press conference. Sad but true.

Sigh! One can but dream of gala evenings with the orchestra playing waltzes; women in diaphanous gowns; men in formal dress with tails awhirl in the exuberance of the dance!
If "tails" is not an option, surely a black tuxedo could be substituted. Please don't tell me you do not own a tux. I do not think my delicate sensibilities could stand the strain.
My younger son bought his when I pointed out three rentals pay for a tailored tux of his very own.
My older son has the advantage of being privileged to wear the dress uniform of the Army of the United States of America!
Now, let us return to words!
