There are tons of blacktie events here. And the best part is the looks you get while riding a subway in a tuxedo. And, yes, you always get someone remarking, "Gettin' your James Bond look on, eh?" :)Makaganoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-37878418897361709142011-12-30T23:38:17.242-05:002011-12-30T23:38:17.242-05:00I think I will be wearing drunk.I think I will be wearing drunk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-59024029673900955142011-12-30T22:39:46.012-05:002011-12-30T22:39:46.012-05:00@ Brohammas
