Hot to trot, and pleasantly bosomy. At least that's what my mind's eye always said.

I assume they said "chic" to convey both (1) don't dress like the low-rent slovens you usually are and (2) don't wear those goddamn huge-flowered Southern belle dresses that make every woman who wears them look like a couch?

Having to say either strongly argues in favor of getting a new set of friends. But then, saying such a stupid thing in an invitation strongly argues in favor of just staying away from other people altogether.

At the next Church meeting, the leaders vote to repeal, and the next week, legislation is introduced to repeal Utah's bigamy statute.

Here's the question: How likely is this scenario and how would the rest of America react?

I would react positively as this would up my chances for a polyamorous lifestyle without the guilt of adultery. Or the Scarlett Letter.

Was that the guy who split open his skull and is still in a coma? LOL! I wasn't there but I saw the amateur video on the Faces of Death Network. I laughed so hard I almost died.

Presumably, neither does the person who called for the dress code (rather than simply described it), but at least his or her defensiveness (if I am understanding your acronym correctly) would be understandable.

Wow. Sorry that their dress code was so offensive to your delicate sensibilities.

Not sure why I'm even explaining, but it was my friends' commitment ceremony in another friend's backyard, and they had guests coming in from all over from age 5 to 80. They wanted to convey that they wanted people to be comfortable but a bit dressy and summery, not like they were at a clambake. It's a wedding and a happy, lighthearted affair, it fit their day, and what counts is that the guests understood what they meant.

Oh, you're just shitting with me because there isn't a faces of death network -- or is there? Anyway, there was unfortunately no skull fracture involved but that would have been funny too. I just hate the way that people feign concern when someone trips or otherwise hurts himself when you know that the helper is just dying to laugh and call the helpee a dumb clumsy motherfucker. Toddlers who try to move faster than their uncoordinated little bodies can stand are funny too. I would certainly render aid if needed (or call for it) but I would still laugh and I fully expect people to laugh at me if I misjudge the curb or something. Admit it, that shit is funny.

Don't get your hopes up, sweetie. If you think the affirmation of a gay Episcopal bishop could lead to a schism, it's nothing compared to what would happen in Mormondom if polygyny were reinstated. Even for pretty orthodox and conservative Mormons, that would be the fulfillment of their worst nightmare.

I'm getting all confused. I thought someone else (a sock?) was asking about appropriate attire to be worn at a church ceremony where the groomsmen would not be wearing tuxes. And now we're talking clambake? Who the hell would go to a chuch wedding in capris and flip flops. And if that was a real concern, then the invitation should have said "semi-formal" which runs the range of nice suit, sportcoat/slacks, dress, skirt, etc.

I will check my miss manners book, but when it comes to dress requirements aren't there only 4? White tie, black tie, semi-formal and casual?

and fwiw, nobody would ever put garden party chic on an invite, the invite would indicate garden party and chic would be limited to those who actually are chic. which is like fifteen people in this country.

ok, I am done channeling DS. I willl go back to narcisism parsisism.

Just to clarify, it wasn't on the invite (which was really lovely), but just on their weddingchannel.com site. I'm sure that offends a whole host of your other ideas of how a wedding "should" be conducted, but the site is very convenient to transmit a lot of information to guests.

My sensibilities are far from delicate. It was a joke, and wedding posts are fair game.

double post - I am w.t.d.

I've heard the "no seersucker north of the mason/dixon line" argument before, and you're right... that is an accepted purist's view. That said, I like the way seersucker feels, its cheap, its the most comfortable fabric ever made and I can get away with it, so I'll continue to wear it as much as I like.

S(of course you only wear it when its damn hot)D
