november 18, mid-afternoon
Balls, galas, premieres. They used to be the bane of my existence when I was the heir to the family name and the family fortune. I was trotted out at every single one that could help our business interests, that could help our standing. And while they always had open bars, my father, being well-versed in my functional alcoholism, always made sure my dates were more handlers than dates.
However! I see no reason why I cannot reclaim the experience with my new friends here at the Cirque. So I am offering myself as a date for whomever would like to accompany me to one of these parties. I can promise good conversation, a talent for ballroom dancing that can only come from expensive lessons, and to sneak a flask inside in case we get tired of champagne and fine wine and want something harder.
And to highlight the fact that I am one hell of a snappy dresser, here's a photo of how well I clean up, courtesy of the Daily Mail's coverage of the 2017 National Portrait Gala. Yes, I spoke with Kate. She's very nice.
Any takers?
