Today's pic of the day is a rather glum looking girl with a personal injury. Our topic of the day was "strange and stupid ways you've injured yourself." This was following on from a new report you can read here.Your stories amazed us. We heard about mothers falling on new cats and killing them instantly, women getting on treadmills in high heels, and the eejit who threw a hammer at his bed - which then bounced back, hit him in the face and knocked out his teeth! I feel so normal after hearing these stories.
We also heard another tragic debs story from Louise. Her fella dumped her two weeks before the debs, but still said he'd go. He then disappeared the day before the debs, leaving her distraught. Her friend found another fella for her, but that didn't go well either.
Anyhow, this prompted an email from Luke - who has been to seven debs, and worked in Black Tie for four years. Luke had some handy tips for any guys going to Debs this year - and I've posted them below!
1 If you make a date go and don't cancel or back out! Your only young once
2 You need to buy a crosage for the girl to either match the dress or compliment the dress. If it’s a red dress get a white crosage. Check with the girl first though about weather she wants one that pins to the dress(it wont fall off when she dances) or else getting one for her wrist (will fall off during dancing)
3 When you buy it, get it the morning of the debs(order it in advance) and then put it in the fridge so it won't die before you give it to her.
4 You need to get chocolates for her mother (not flowers your already bringing a crosage). I always used go about finding out the mothers fave chocs cause its easy brownie points.
5 I used bring a bottle of wine but its not necessary unless you want brownie points and want to get in there with the girl and the family. A must if you want the girl as your girlfriend!
6 Next it’s the waist coat (rest of suit does not really matter). This must match the girls dress. If your not wearing one then get the tie to match but getting the waste coat and cravate/dickybow is much classier!. If your getting a dickybow and a wastecoat just get them to compliment the dress and pray for black!! If your going for the cravate and waistcoat then you can get the full matching set (but if its red you'll look way too red) so id the colour is very bright your better off getting a complimentary colour in the waist coat and then getting a matching cravate.
7 Turn up ontime and just try relax as much as possible.
8 Bring money so the girl does not have to pay for anything ( that’s the main reason she asked you anyway!!)
9 When her feat start to hurt ask her does she want to sit down and chat away to her don't ignore her.
10 Always try show up other ppls dates by being as gentlemanly( not cocky or full of yourself) as you can (esp if you know no one there) it makes her friends jealous (making her thing your great) and it makes them talk to you more so your not so nervous!
11 Talk about her and what she likes turn any conversation back on her, they love it, talking about themselves.
12 Follow the above steps to a guaranteed a good night by all and I bet one of her friends that’s there from another school will ask you to their debs!
