Kilted at the ballet

[Tattoo Bradley]

I agree. The thought of someone in jeans and sandals at a ballet of all things seems WAY off kilter....

The Cult of Casual has really gone too far. It's almost enough to prompt me to wear a jacket and tie as everyday clothing just to be contrary

It is the same with church-going. I frequently see men with open-necked shirts and no jackets at church, which is something I could/would never do myself. I have to wear a tie and a jacket to church, just as I would to the theatre. Whatever happened to standards and respect? It's a poor show!

In this country, the teen-agers show up for church in torn jeans and T-shirts and the teen-aged girls are wearing these denim miniskirts with the hemline almost up to their crotch....in church! I somehow have always had a problem with that.

I suppose if I really didn't want to go search for an excellent pair of horace sandals and a decently faded flower print shirt that I could get away with wearing a rental tux for a night at the opera. But why? When I have some useful shoe leather and a good tire to cut foot forms from then I should at least put the effort into a wearable pair of sandals. The shirt could truly prove difficult. I've seen good bow tie prints on polos and thought they would do just fine for a beach party. So, I figure a dinner party is pretty close to the same thing and they both end in party......
The next logical step is over the edge....!!!!!
