dressing up

[thoreau]

so - I'm dressing up to go to the opera with Michael and Michael. I love dressing up. :) and I'll get two occasions to do so this week. Tonight - (see my last post) - is a trip to the opera with the Adorabears. and then this weekend is dinner out with David. David asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I said "A dinner out with you that requires us both to wear a shirt and tie." David is famous for his sets of plaid shirts with his sweatshirt. :) He doesn't "get" the whole clothes thing. So it is a HUGE step for him to agree to a dinner out Saturday that requires a coat and tie. I'm glad I don't have to wear a tie for work - and that putting on a tie gives me that spiffified ultramuffiny feeling of being gussied up and ready to roll. I'll post pictures from the Opera pre-dinner and such later this evening.

OMG. We have the opposite tie taste. Diametric.

Same here - see below. :)

Robert - Yes, Phil and I would fight over the ties at Nordie's Rack you didn't want. ;-)

What restautants in SF still have the coat-and-tie rule? Regardless, it's a great gift and tradition.

Happy Birthday!

YOu didn't ask, but I hope you wear the second tie from the right at least once this week of celebration!

HUGS!

Happy birthday, baby! I meant to call you earlier, but got caught up in getting my house cleaned and my shower back in order. My shower was gutted and redone in the last 4 days, just in time for your arrival. It's fabulous! Anyway, turns out you would not have been home. Hope you had a fab-u time esta noche. Feliz cumpleanos, mi amigo.

I am convinced that I once had some of those ties. Oh yeah, #1, #2 and #5.

[cuyahogarvr.livejournal.com]

Wow, I also own # 1 and #4 (from the left. That's pretty scary.

[bear-left.livejournal.com]

I think I own #4 as well - Jerry Garcia?

Great, great collection - I'd wear any of 'em happily.

happy belated birthday, babe!

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

yep - almost all my ties are Jerry Garcia

I'm for the second tie on the right, though the blue on the left does nicely for me as well.

Glad you had fun!
