The F Word

That's right ladies and gents, it is time for Hillel of Greater Toronto's first annual formal. According to About.com, formal attire is defined as this: "Formal usually means the same as Black Tie, but in some trendier cities like New York or Los Angeles, it could mean a black shirt, no tie with a tux. Women wear cocktail, long dresses or dressy evening separates."
In that case, what is the accepted definition of 'black tie'? The site defines it as such: "Black Tie means formal. Men wear tuxedos, women wear cocktail, long dresses or dressy evening separates."
I'm not planning on renting a tux... I think a black tie and white shirt on a black suit should do the trick. As for a vest.... well, maybe next time.

Wanna come to the event? Don't worry if you don't have a date - it will likely be a great place to meet adventurous members of the opposite sex (or should I be saying 'desired sex'? How politically correct!) that are on the prowl. And if you do have a date? Well, then you better start mentally preparing yourself now for the inevitable moment when Noam grabs her for a waltz and you are left on the sideline with nothing but an overly sweet Shirley Temple.
