DC’s Own Oscar Night
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
As I’m sure everyone’s aware, the Oscars are ON for this Sunday. As much as I adore analyzing the red-carpet parade while dressed in stretch pants and curled up on my couch (Charlize, I’ll bring the beer), I adore the idea that there’s an “official Academy-sanctioned” viewing party of the 80th Annual Academy Awards at Posh on Sunday. Expect a red carpet, interviews with “Joan Rivers,” an open bar/hors d’ouerves, a $400-value swag bag for those who spring for the VIP ticket….and of course there’s a charity element to justify it all.
I’m curious to take note of how many guys actually understand what “black tie” means – it pretty much means you wear a tux (it’s not “back tie optional”). Now as you know I’m all for being fashionably creative, but that rarely happens here. Methinks the guys will either wear a tux or try to get away with jackets. In general, I wonder how many folks will truly treat this as if they’re attending the actual Oscars and turn it out.

Guys actually do understand that “black tie” means a tux. Getting most of us to differentiate between a simple tux and white tie and tails is another issue. And if you like, you can really confuse most buys by specifying that dress is semi-formal or formal. Oh wait, when it comes to menswear that confuses women too.
