I've also got a black suit that very rarely gets worn. Fortunately, I've not got a cummerband, which judging by the picture makes it look like your trousers are up way too high.An Eerie Tapestryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10508055666910759925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-89125011315572388282010-06-16T16:16:38.198+01:002010-06-16T16:16:38.198+01:00Hi Cat,

And you know what? As I read your blog I thought you're long, thin-faced skeleton with horrible middle-sized yellow hair. In fact you seem to have a nice figure for your age - not that fat and not that thin and your hair are done well too. Oh and tuxedo suits you nicely too. Sorry if that was too honest.<br />In fact I hate formal clothes too including costumes of any type. Oh and to make tit worse - here's how I looked at my wedding: http://aluajala.blogspot.com/2008/10/im-quite-alive.html<br />*blushes*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-25064339512070760232010-06-14T16:23:46.344+01:002010-06-14T16:23:46.344+01:00Hi River,

What's more, I am fatter now than when that photo was taken (the first day of the cruise just before I gorged myself stupid).<br /><br />I had never heard of a cummerband because before then I had never had to wear a tux before. <br /><br />Despite my so-called "intelligence" I can sometimes be very naively stupid.<br /><br />:0)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-84901471503305339432010-06-14T09:09:38.993+01:002010-06-14T09:09:38.993+01:00You do yourself an injustice Plasman.

That photo shows a nice looking man, not at all fat. <br />I agree that people who don't interact with the public should not have to wear suits and ties to work. I worked for many years in factories where we could wear what we liked, now I'm at Coles, it's uniform everyday. <br />How is it that you've never heard of a cummerband before?Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-48690495348236514112010-06-13T22:21:47.572+01:002010-06-13T22:21:47.572+01:00Hi Mind of Mine,

I have actually avoided social events/birthdays etc because the venue had a strict dress code. <br /><br />I was a grooms man at my brothers wedding and as soon the reception was started I ran back upto my room and got dressed in to my civies.<br /><br />My funeral will have a strict NO dress code.Mind Of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09112890718925524313noreply@blogger.com
