The Straight Dope House - The Duplex

It doesn’t look to me like you missed the party. If I counted correctly there are three gentlemen and four ladies dressing for the event.

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?

And one undressed. :wink:

I’m new here and all that, but I’ve read enough threads that I’m fairly certain you’re not the sort to be planning on coming to the party naked. I bet by undressed you mean the white jeans you wear on sunday mornings
.
:smiley:

Isn’t that sweet? She still remembers!

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) she doesn’t know me too well yet, do she? :wink:

Abby, Sunday mornings he’s in da buff.
As I am, right now.

Umm, :o maybe not. I think I’ll go find someone to ask. If no ones around I’ll poke my nose in a book until I think of something clever to say.

Ginger, that’s not what he said when asked! Does this mean mods lie? :confused:

Oops that second quote is from Ginger not Euty!

::: Really embarrassed now; blushing fleeing the room! :::

Tux? Tails? For swing dancing?

A polo shirt and khakis is gussied up for me, celestina dear :wink:

However, if a tux is the sacrifice that must be made for the honor of a dance with you…bring it on.

Euty’s naked?

I insist on the first dance then.:wink:

Yes, and I gotta tell you, it’s damn cold in here too! Who the hell’s playing with the thermostat?

Hardygrrl! I’m so glad you’re here. My flirt muscle is seriously atrophied and I have made a terrible mess. Do take dear naked Euty and sort out the mess I’ve made. :o

Maybe it just needs a generous massage?

Uh uh, Euty, I get the first dance.

::Strides over to Euty in her fabulous dress (see the original thread) and holds out her hand::

Give Abby a moment to compose herself and dance with me.

:: Euty puts a rose in his teeth ::

(Ouch! Thorns!)

You know how to tango … ?

:::walks in, looks around, contemplates while drinking her beer:::
Too much nekkidness around here. Y’all need to get some clothes on those rumps.

Yes, I do.

This will be the first time tangoing with a naked man though…well, while I’m dressed anyways…

::Takes Euty’s hand::

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! :smiley:

::: 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! Hardygrrl, thanks for taking care of dear naked Euty for me.[/sub]

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? :wink:
