black tie update: my boyfriend is adorable

i mean that very literally, by the way. karl in a full suit = delectable. even the leg brace couldn't take away from how dapper he looked. one day, maybe i'll be able to post pictures!

so the black tie surprise last night: we attended the French Wine Society's "Champagne Holiday" party. in brief, we got to taste champagnes from 15 of the best champagne houses in the world, while dressed in our finest, at a fantastic mansion on dupont circle called The Washington Club. i got to try Cristal! (it was tasty.) so we spent the evening sipping flutes of very good, very expensive champagne, munching on delicious hand carved roast beef, and watching two models roam around the room in increasingly fantastic / ridiculous fur coats. i think i win some sort of boyfriend prize.

  2. Cristal. I mean, was it HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS tasty? I have always wondered.

  3. tessie: NO. i mean, it was certainly fantastic and all, but worth $250? meh. karl is waaaaay more wine savvy than i am, and he can explain with a number of knowledgeable adjectives exactly what should be going on in your mouth for $250 (ha! dirty!). he says cristal is 50% quality, 50% unbelievably masterful marketing campaign.

  4. Bossy loves a man in a suit, anyway. And starchy shirts rolled up at the sleeve. And when a husband sits at the end of the bed and loosens his tie? Grrrrrr. (That's supposed to be a sexy growl and not in fact Bossy choking on her saliva.)

    Bossy thinks maybe "Casual Friday" and everything that concept implies in the workplace is single-handedly responsible for dwindling Bossy's sex life. Because sweatshirts? Not so much.

  5. You've been to the Washington Club?!?! Oh, I am so JEALOUS right now...and missing DC quite a bit.

    *sniff*

    But happy you had so much fun. Karl is kind of kick-ass, isn't he?

  6. It's almost 1pm when I read your post, and I haven't had lunch, so now I'm starving for some roast beef.

  7. How the hell are you writing complete sentences today? I don't care how dapper a guy looks in a suit (I'm sure Karl deserves prizes for how good he looked), if I'm drinking that much champagne (dignified or not), I'm going to be under the table and dreaming the entire next day. I kid you not! ha. Glad you had a superb time. Sounds like he's a keeper!

  8. You know the downside to that is Karl has to top that. Karl, as a fellow man, you've put yourself in a tough spot to work out of unless Alice would go nuts over Kentucky Fried Chicken or something.
