Abby, I hope the party’ll go on well into Monday, as a lot of folks don’t post on the weekend. celestina hair and nails done and her body just humming from Pierre’s ministrations, takes her outfit back to her room and puts it away to dress later. She takes a quick shower to get the scented oil off her, dons a dressing gown, and walks around in search of a quick snack before the ball. Cartooniverse, Sweetie, what’s for dinner? ---

Tux? Tails? For _swing dancing_? A polo shirt and khakis is gussied up for me, celestina dear 😉 However, if a tux is the sacrifice that must be made for the honor of a dance with you…bring it on. ---

Umm hardygrrl, I’m really flattered you want me to compose myself and dance with you, but if I’m going to dance, I’d rather dance with a guy! 😃 ::: Chuckles off as she wanders back out to the front porch in baggy grey sweats and pokes her nose back in a book. ::: [sub]Psst!

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by hardygrrl \* > \*\*::Takes Euty’s hand:: \*\* **Euty** , speaking in the third person completely against character, takes **hardygrrl** by the hand and sweeps her into his arms and begins tangoing across the room. Think Ah-nold and Jamie Lee Curtis at the end of _True Lies_. The crowd is transfixed (what crowd there is, at least) as the rose is passed back and forth quite a few times. And at the very end, **Euty** dips her back almost vertical and gives her a big, wet kiss right at the base of her throat. ---

Hey, Euty, do you want to walk behind me for a minute until we find you something, umm, _concealing_ to wear? Or something to hold in front of yourself? 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-straight-dope-house-the-duplex/76836.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-straight-dope-house-the-duplex/76836.md?page=3)
