Oh yes, the date and venue may not even be publicly announced yet, but today, we purchased Louise's dress for BTaP 2012. We were originally looking for something for tomorrow's black tie do but they didn't have the dress in the right size. As a testament to how stunning it is, I ordered the right size anyway, knowing JUST the occasion for it  As I'm a bloke, I have no idea of the designer, it's just black, quite vintagey and suits Louise to a tee. Er, we are having a BTaP this year aren't we?

Went to a black-tie shindig for NYE. Being me, I decided to do something different and went in black tie (as I'm a laady). I had slim tailored trousers, black jacket, the proper pintuck shirt, bowtie and halter waist-coat. Red bag, red shoes, red nails. Had a few compliments from the crowd we went with and all was well. A few hours later some drunken t  t (also female) came up to me and asked if I was dressed that way because I was 'you know, a lesbian?'. Should have played along and said alright then, meet you in the bushes in 10 minutes- but I politely corrected her and tried to ignore it. Loud music, more drinks. Later on we were outside where everyone is smoking and chatting. She finds me again. So you're NOT a LESBIAN? No. No, I'm not. So you must love the COCK? Yeah, whatever floats your boat Is this your BOYFRIEND? YOU MUST LOVE HIS COCK! She got louder as the conversation went on. Can see everyone turning around to gawk. Facepalm. More drinks. Eugh Anyway, I have no idea what BT&P is so I thought I'd come in and find out and got distracted by this thread  hope you all have something fabulous to wear.

Do you realise the irony that you drive a Jeep Wrangler   nb: Black Tie & Pie is the PistonHeads social occasion of the year held in November. It is a refined and genteel affair with much intillec... intelicktu... clever conversation

Bigger or smaller, or is that an appropriate question to ask of a lady?

Smaller... hopefully. I row, and we're coming into winter training now which always shifts a few pounds!
