Thai food, which I deeply love, and tuxedos

Filed under: — Aprille @ 12:34 pm

We’re having Thai food tonight. Alyssa invited us to go out for Thai last night, but we’d already eaten by the time she called. We made a date for next week. However, that got me really in the mood for Thai food, so we’re having it tonight as well. Oh, yum. Yum yum yum.

You know what else I like? Self-adhesive stamps. I’ve been preparing invitation envelopes, and I realized the other night that I was really glad that my tongue wasn’t stuck to the roof of my mouth.

We checked out some tuxedo options over lunch today. These are some that caught Denny’s eye:

Pinstripes
Grey
Navy (would match bridesmaid dresses)
Day suit

I think Denny’s favorite is the day suit, though I’m a little concerned that it won’t be formal enough for an evening wedding. But on the other hand, it’s not like I’m going the cathedral train route either, so maybe a little more casual is ok. I think my favorite is the pinstripes, though.

Hah. I just noticed something funny. In the upper righthand corner of those pages linked above is the slogan for that formalwear distributor: “When You Want HIM to Look His Best.” Not “When You Want to Look Your Best,” or “When a Man Wants to Look His Best.” The site is obviously targeting women who are trying to dress up their otherwise hapless significant others. That’s kind of insulting, because it perpetuates the stereotype that men have no style and that women should be in the role of making them presentable for society.

And yet, here I am.
