Addy - I believe that is the International Debutante Ball. There were hot men in JUST white ties? Lovely...
It is an interesting tradition - and I think my Dad was considering my debuting in DC, but who knows. I could just see you making a debut into New York society, Addy!
I do rather enjoy the experiences - some girls you see at Ball after Ball, and get to know them. If people are nice, it's great. But when they are not, and there are people behind you taking pictures with their own cameras, or a mother who keeps butting in and can be not so fun. But of course, I ALWAYS keep a smile on my face.
As for the weight thing - thanks. Sorry, I just had to vent, as I'm sure you understand.
Deet: Shira, I Love You!
