REMINDERS: February 20

I'm about to tackle the Divination Tower! Thank you all for always being so patient. ♥

Absolute final call for the lottery event! We'll be selecting someone for it tonight, and the post announcing what happened will be up in the morning.

The Masquerade Ball is this Friday! Use this post to look for dates and make plans if you need to. Also feel free to ask us if you have any questions on the mechanics of the Anonymity Charm. You can also ask Calvin or Ravi IC questions, as the resident mod-played nerds and part-time glorified NPCs.

There will be a crafting session on Wednesday, February 22. Supplies will be provided by Event Committee with some of the extra funds accumulated by the flower delivery service. Do you guys want an IC/OOC for this? ~~If so, can a kind volunteer player take a little pressure off the mods and post it? If no one is able to, then Mina will be the host.~~ Thank you, Ivy and Laurel, for hosting the crafting party!

Time honored nosy mod tradition: Who are your characters' dates? ♥

	follow-up! how fancy is the masquerade, usually? it sounds closer to gowns and three-piece suits and whatever, than to cocktail dresses and .... however dudes dress down? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

the winter formal was heavy on "formal" bc the expectation was floor-length gowns. (a lot of kids were sharing photos of knee-length getups and i think maggie was inches from a conniption.)

but also, from a quick googling it looks like the consensus for cocktail dress length has changed over time? so i was talking knee-length/etc. when i said "cocktail."

and knee-length is def less formal than floor-length.

but i wear the same 2 dresses to all weddings i go to and one of them is black, so... i don't actually know shit about Dressing Up.

i guess i thought floor length was Max Fancy so cocktail was Penultimate Fancy? i dont know anything abt dressing sorry mom you raised a FOOL

like, my thoughts on dude outfits in order of formality:
1. cargo shorts and flip flops
2. jeans, t-shirt
3. chinos and a button up
4. suit
5. ?tux i guess ???? like a top hat idk

i thought cocktail dresses were like a solid 4 but MAYBE NOT

thank you for educating me
